Description of the problem | 2010 hyundai santa fe v6 awd limited i put the key in the ignition to start it, and the vehicle lunged forward approximately 6 inches. The vehicle was in park when i started it. Luckily my foot was near the brake, so i instinctively slammed on the brake. I do not know how far it would have gone if i had not depressed the brake pedal. Luckily the vehicle in front of me was far enough away, also lucky that there was nobody walking between my vehicle and the one in front of mine. I took it to sport hyundai dodge, they were very nice. They put it on their computer scanner, and of course it did not come up with any problem codes. Luckily i do not have remote start on this vehicle, because who knows where the vehicle might end up. I was also lucky that i was actually seated in the vehicle and not leaning in to start it. Hopefully this was a fluke situation and will never happen again. However, i will have to remember to start this vehicle with the brake depressed if there is something in front of my vehicle. Toyota depended on their computers too, which never came up with any error codes either, and they thought the customer was at fault, and look where it got them! |
