TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED.

I PUSHED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AND NOTHING HAPPENED EXCEPT THE RPMS SPIKED TO AROUND 5-6K AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED AS IF I WERE IN NEUTRAL AND REVVING IT UP AGGRESSIVELY. THIS HAS SUBSEQUENTLY HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIMES WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 30 AND 65 MPH. IT IS SCARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE, SAY IN A PASSING SITUATION OR WHEN TRAVELING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI (SHEPPARD IN EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD, OR) TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE. BOTH TIMES, THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT AND RETURNED IT TO ME WITHOUT FIXING ANYTHING SAYING: 1) I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD WHO REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, 2) THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND 3) THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR

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. *TR
