NHTSA Complaint #10384997 — 2006 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

FIRST TIME I WAS PARKING THE CAR AND IT JUST ACCELERATED MAKING THE CAR JUMP. THE NEXT TIME I WAS STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I ALMOST ENDED UP IN THE INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPEN AT LEAST 6 OR 7 TIMES WHEN I WAS PARKING OR STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. I NEVER KNOW WHEN I STOP OR PARK THE CAR IF IT WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I HAVE COME SO VERY CLOSE TO HITTING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, SLIDING INTO THE INTERSECTION AND/OR JUMPING A PARKING BUMPER. I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER. I'VE HAD IT CORRECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE OF TIMES ONLY TO HAVE IT STOP WORKING WITHIN A FEW DAYS. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2006 AND NEEDLESS TO SAY IS STILL NOT WORKING. THE SPEED ON THE CAR IS WRONG. IT SHOWS ME GOING FASTER THAN I'M ACTUALLY GOING. FOR EXAMPLE, IT SHOWS I'M GOING 57 MPH WHEN I'M ACTUALLY GOING 54 MPH.
