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. I looked on a hyundi forum and there several complaint's the dealer said they could not find anything wrong i asked them to contact the factory and they did not have any complaint's onthe same problem . I told them to look at your web site and the forum . I am a auto mechanic and i can tell you if the park paw that's holds the car in place lets go after constantly getting pulled away when this happens the truck can take off and hurt/kill somebody please help!!!!! Thank you |
