Description of the problem	Twice i have experienced sudden unintended acceleration (sua) in the past few weeks. The first time i was traveling on a primary road going the speed limit 45 mph. While my foot was steady on the accelerator, the car just suddenly accelerated without me pushing down on the accelerator pedal. I tried putting on the brake and that didn't seem to help any. I thought it could be my sandal stuck under the accelerator..... After moving my right foot around, that did nothing; then attempted to move the mat with my right hand, that did nothing, and i put on the brake and that slowed the car down and i continued to drive as if nothing had happened. Fortunately, there were no cars near me to crash into. The second time i experienced sua, i was traveling on a major highway at the start of rush hour traffic traveling at approx 65 mph (the speed limit) when again the car just suddenly accelerated. I put on the brake which did nothing, then tried the brake a second time, which did nothing, and then i was able to gradually depress the emergency brake and get the car to come to a stop on the right shoulder of the highway after crossing two lanes. Again, i was fortunate to be able to make these maneuvers without causing an accident. Since this was the second time the car had sua, i didn't think it was a good idea to drive it anymore until i could have the hyundai dealer take a look and find out what why this was occurring. After two days at the service center at the dealership, they have been running diagnostic tests as well as trying to reproduce the sua without any success and have deemed the car acceptable to drive with nothing showing out of the ordinary.
