description: I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND AS I PUT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THERE ARE SKIDS MARKS ON THE CEMENT SHOWING THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED FROM BRAKING BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO PUSH ME FORWARD INTO THE BACK OF MY FORD RANGER.. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND SINCE BRAKING WAS NOT STOPPING THE CAR I SHOVED IT INTO PARK. THE CAR CAME TO A HALT BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. AN ARTICLE ON AUTOWISE.COM DATED 10/26/2019 REFERS TO THIS PROBLEM AS "HYUNDAI'S SECRET ACCELERATION PROBLEMS" AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM ABOUT 40 DIFFERENT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ONCE BEFORE BUT NOT WITH NO DAMAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF I HAD BEEN IN ANY OTHER SITUATION. IT IS TIME FOR A FEDERAL RECALL. *TR
