Description of the problem	I was driving home and slowed to let someone in front of me turn left into a grocery parking lot. The car suddenly started surging mad i could not stop it with the brake pedal all the way to floor. However, i did hit the car in font of me, with no damage to her car. I had popped the front right side of the bumper on my car. So we went on with our business when she found no damage to her vehicle. I had to turn the car off to stop the car from moving. I called the dealer glenn hyundai and told them of the incident, they in turn told me this would be nearly impossible for this to happen! It did happen!! They called me after receiving the vehicle via tow truck and told me the throttle was dirty and needed to be cleaned. So i told them go ahead and then about half hour later they called and said the car needed a throttle position assembly replaced. They had already charged me for the cleaning of the throttle, and then charged me to replace it also. Doesn't cleaning come with replacing the throttle assembly? I think this should be investigated and to see how many other hyundai's have had this problem. They supposedly contacted hyundai corporate usa, however, i have yet to hear anything from hyundai. I really hope all is safe now????
