Description of the problem	On 2/4/15, my 2012 santa fe had an unexpected sudden acceleration, resulting in extensive damage to the vehicle and me, the driver. I had backed into my parking space at work facing a busy road and while re-positioning vehicle, going from reverse to drive, with my foot on the brake, the car propelled forward, going through a 4 foot snow bank and into a stone wall. The driver air bag deployed and hit me direct in center chest. All of this occurred in about 2 seconds and i had my foot down hard on the brake and was attempting to put my left foot on the emergency brake. *js it was a miracle that i did not hit a pedestrian or other vehicle, which when i later processed this, was the most frightening part.. After googling this complaint, i was stunned to see how many people have had similar incidents.
