Description of the problem | I own a hyundai tucson 2012. On december 31, 2012, we took the vehicle to the dealership for regular maintenance and reported that we have experienced several instances of sudden unintended acceleration (sua) (i. E., the rpm raced up to 4,000 rpms when at idle and accelerator was not pressed). The dealership could not duplicate/verify concern. On november 10, 2013, again we expressed the dealership the same concern; however, we received the same response as on december 31, 2012. Throughout this year we have experienced sua several times, the most recent one last night, when while in motion the car unexpectedly accelerated its rpm. I believe this is a seriously safety concern which hyundai should address immediately by investigating the problem and issuing a safety recall to its customers. Please advice the action we should take to have this problem solved and avoid any injuries. |
