Description of the problem	We own a 2011 hynudai santa fe and had an incident last night pulling into a parking spot, which appears to be something others have experienced: sua sudden unintended acceleration. I was pulling into the parking space with my foot on the brake and the motor just started racing full throttle for no apparent reason. I mashed on the brake and felt it fade out under the force of the increased motor rpm. I quickly shifted into neutral and the engine continued to race but i had my foot completely removed from the brake or accelerator pedals. I then shut the engine off. My wife and i were shaken but uninjured. After completing our reason for the stop, the vehicle started normally and we returned home with no further incident. But our confidence in the vehicle has gone to zero. This was the first and only time this has occurred so far on this vehicle.
