Consumer Description

UPON STARTING MY CAR THE ENGINE WAS REVVING.I THOUGHT IT WAS DOING THAT BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY COLD OUT. I LET IT WARM UP A LITTLE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT BEGIN TO ACCELERATE BY ITSELF GOING UP TO 40 MILES WHILE IN A PARKING GARAGE. I MANAGED TO FINALLY STOP THE CAR BY FLOORING THE BRAKE PETAL & EMERGENCY BRAKE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT STARTED REVVING AGAIN! I CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO REPORT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. *TR
