CrashFiled: Mar 2026

Your 2023 Sonata Hybrid suddenly accelerated forcefully into a building while you were slowly backing out of a parking spot in Eco mode, despite only lightly applying the gas pedal. The collision mechanic suggested this is a known issue with 2023 Sonatas — the vehicle may unexpectedly apply or release the electronic brake and aggressively switch from electric to gas power when encountering resistance. This unintended acceleration caused your vehicle to be declared a total loss at just 17,000 miles.
