| Description of the problem | I had rented a hyundai sante fe in september 2019. I had the vehicle for a few weeks with no issues until i drove over the mountains. I had pulled into a parking lot and was looking to park, coasting through the parking lot, i then backed up and found a parking spot. I was turning right in at a very slow speed, a virtual crawl into a parking space when i pressed the brakes to stop the vehicle when it suddenly revs its engine and began accelerating out of control jumping over the front parking curb and slamming into a chain link fence. The brake was depressed to the floor and would not stop, i pumped the brakes to stop and when it would not stop, i quick slammed the vehicle into the park position to prevent the vehicle from hitting a tracker and causing further damage or injury. I contacted my insurance agent and then i contacted enterprise rental company in bend oregon. I was on hold for roughly 30 min. I explained the situation and they stated that there were no recalls they knew of and they advised me to contact their tow company and have it towed to the airport in redmond oregon to switch out the vehicles. I researched on my own and found that their was a similar incident in las vegas, nv reported in january 31st, 2018. This incident needs to be looked into before someone is seriously injured. The isg may be a contributing factor in this case. |
