I was driving in traffic on a two lane road. I heard a load bang and my car began to speed up. I tried braking but I could not slow or stop the car. With traffic in front of me I pulled into the left lane not seeing any oncoming traffic. Then a car was coming in that lane so I threw the car into park and pulled up on emergency brake. Since it was raining, the rear end of the car came around and I got hit on the passenger side rear door. The car finally stopped against a fence with the engine still racing. *tr

This has happened several times, so I'm not sure of the first date it happened, but when I hit a pot hole or bump with my brakes on, the SUV suddenly accelerates (seems to lunge forward) for several seconds (and braking doesn't work). This is very scary and I've come close to hitting another car because I speed up on it at a stop (sign or light) after I hit the pothole. I've taken it in to the dealer, who cannot reproduce problem and claims nothing is wrong. I've also hit a patch on the road that my car considers slippery (even though there's no ice) and I can hear my ABS kick in (even though the brakes aren't even on).

Third Hyundai my husband and I have owned and on all three the rear brakes have been sticking, heating up and eating up the brakes. Had the dealership do a brake inspection per Hyundai's request, which the report shows the wear shows that it is not normal wear. Spoke to the women handling the case that was opened. The reply from Hyundai was that the brakes were not under warranty (which I knew) and that at 7,000 mile the car should have been brought in for the caliper maintenance. This tell me that Hyundai is not greasing the calipers during manufacturing and is up to the consumer to pay. I will never suggest to anyone to buy a Hyundai. As far as I am concerned it is a safety hazard and consumers should not have to pay for a manufacturing defect. Also please not this problem has hap

Rust on the left rear frame that needs to be repaired before is fails, I am not sure what the outcome will be when this part of frame fails. Hyundai has years of rust problems that they don't seem to want to fix at the dealer level or the manufacturing level unless you have thousands of dollars for repairs or pay for rust proofing at your expense when you buy the car, they need a good fine slapped on them to wake them up, maybe then they will stop making cars that they what you to scrap after 11 years and 144,000 miles. This car was serviced by the dealer where it was bought, by the book and the book and the dealer should warn that rust not lack of service will cause it to fail. Please do something to stop the rust parade coming from korea. Look up Hyundai rust problems, this has been
