Description of the problem	Upon entering the highway at 55 mph my 2009 hyundai santa fe took off and the gas paddle got stuck for 15 - 20 seconds even though it felt like a life time. I stumped on brake pedal and tried to pumped the brake pedal to no avail. The rpm on my car was registered at 6-7 and the engine was very loud. I got the car to stop by placing the transmission in the neutral position. I called the nearest dealer to my home to make an appointment and they were not able to duplicate the problem. So to them there was no problem with my vehicle. To me and my two daughters this experience is a nightmare and the car is unsafe to drive. Since 2002 i bought 5 hyundai cars (2002 sonata, 2003 santa fe (daughter in law drives), 2004 santa fe (son drives), 2004 santa fe (daughter drives) and my car 2009 santa fe. As you can see from my multiple purchases i loved driving and owning hyundai santa fe's. I am very upset because we could have died! I am even more upset that hyundai will not stand behind their products and make excuses so they will not have to make repairs. The $$$ must be worth more than peoples lives. The hyundai dealer in north east philadelphia even had the nerve to blame me because he said not replicate the incident and it was not in the cars computer. Shame on you hyundai, shame on you dealers. This is the last hyundai that i will ever own, i will no longer recommend any of your cars to anyone but i will share my story with them. You lost a customer and i will join any class action suit and i will call the tv stations to report this problem. I do not think that anyone should die before you fix the problem - what about you hyundai? Peoples lives or $$$$$. I am planning on replacing the throttle position sensor and getting rid for the car. I do not want another near death experience.
