| Description of the problem | Driving my wife's car around 40 mph and for no reason the car started accelerating to a high rate of speed and i had to lay on the brake but when i took my foot off the brake it again started accelerating at a high rate of speed. I put the car in neutral and the engine was racing very high i shut the car off and started it again and it was back to normal. I am concerned that this will happen again. Talked to hyundai service and they could not give me an answer. |
