| Description of the problem | On april 13, 2012, july 18, 2012 and august 3, 2012, while making a slow turn into a parking area, my 2006 hyundai sonata suddenly accelerated uncontrollably for no reason. In each instance, an accident resulted with major damage to other property and major damage to the front end of the 2006 sonata. My only guess , is there is something wrong with the vehicle's speed control. Updated 10/15/12 *bf |
