Consumer Description

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THIS. MY 2012 HYUNDAI ACCENT WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OFTEN SURGES. ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WILL CONTINUE AT SAME SPEED OR EVEN ACCELERATE WHEN I LIFT MY FOOT. STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, IT WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN THE CAR AHEAD OF ME MOVES AND I LIFT MY FOOT. WHEN PARKING, IT WILL RED-LINE WHEN I SHIFT TO NEUTRAL OR PARK. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT HAPPENS THROUGHOUT CERTAIN TRIPS, FROM WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIVE, UNTIL I EXIT THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION, THEY SAY THERE ARE NO CODES, SO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. APPARENTLY IT DID NOT OCCUR DURING THEIR TEST DRIVE. THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHEN CAR TRIES TO RUN AWAY, I TURN OFF THE KEY. WILL THAT REMEDY CONTINUE TO WORK?
