Description of the problem	I was pulling into the parking space in a parking structure. I was already pressing the brake and just began to press it a bit harder to stop the vehicle in the parking space. Just as i gave the brake pedal a bit more pressure, my car sped forward, jumping a cement wheel stop in the parking space, crashing me into the wall of the parking structure. The force of hitting the wall threw the car backwards where the wheels got stuck between the wheel stop and the wall. Hitting the wheel stop then sent my car back into the cement wall; rebounding off of the wall this second time, the car was propelled over the wheel stop and finally stopped moving. The cement wall was cracked and very precarious to those using the sidewalks underneath. My car has significant damage to the front end. Two people on staff at the parking structure saw the entire thing and asked 'what happened?" one of the witnesses said he saw my brake lights on right before it sped up and flew into the wall. Called hyundai and learned that there is a recall on my car. Although this recall states that it is to replace some sort of brake light switch, the lady at hyundai said that this type of acceleration was listed as one of the problems caused by this 'switch' that has to be replaced. I told hyundai that i am now scared to drive my car until it is checked to fix any problems that are going on with the brakes/acceleration. They were so nice! They invited me to make an appointment at any dealership and have it inspected - at my cost. I just can't believe that they are so unconcerned. Anyway, that is santa fe tale of woe. Would appreciate help with dealing with hyundai to get this resolved; or at least have them check it out for no charge.
