Description of the problem	I had just pulled into a small rural parking lot and parked facing a wood fence in the afternoon. I had my foot on the brake and put the car into park. The car suddenly lurched forward about ten feet, knocking over a wood fence post and incurring $3,000 damage to the car. I still had my foot on the brake, and slammed it instantly as the car lurched. Fortunately, no person was walking along the sidewalk, and i had my seat belt in place. I insisted the car be towed to the nearest hyundai dealer rather than to a local repair shop, since i wanted to find the cause of this acceleration malfunction. The dealer said they found nothing wrong, other than the front end damage. I insisted that hyundai national send out an engineer to check the car. I have also found a report on the internet from kmov. Com news in st. Louis 2/28/13, that three local owners there experienced sudden unintended acceleration. The case detailed in the news report was exactly like my experience of sudden lurching acceleration from a parked position, but the hyundai engineer reported nothing was wrong. However, our experience documents an unintended acceleration problem unrelated to driver error. I have told hyundai that i will absolutely not continue to drive this car.
