Description of the problem	I have a 4 month old 2008 hyundai santa fe. I was driving it on the freeway and took my foot off the gas to get ready to brake for my exit. When i took my foot off the gas pedal the engine kept revving and pulling the car forward. I didn't know what to think. I immediately hit the breaks to see if maybe the cruise control kicked in, even though i didn't go near the cruise control. When i hit the brakes, much to my horror, i had no brakes!!!! I punched the brake pedal to the floor a bunch of times and nothing!!!!!! I had to step on the emergency break, put the car in neutral (to keep the engine from revving on its own) and drive my car into a hillside on the side of the freeway to stop it! It's a miracle that myself and my passenger were not harmed and that i didn't kill or injure anyone else. Unacceptable for a new vehicle or any vehicle to have this happen.
