Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WHILE FOOT ON BRAKE OR WHILE IN PARK ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN! I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY ON THE BRAKE FOR CAR TO STOP BUT ENGINE WAS STILL INCHING FORWARD WHILE IN STOPPED POSITION! WHEN IT IS IN PARK IT TRIES TO ACCELERATE BUT ENDS UP STALLING OUT AND THEN IM UNABLE TO START BACK UP FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES ALSO WHEN GOING A STEADY CITY WIDE SPEED MY CAR CHOOSES TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT MAKING IT DO SO THIS IS SCARY I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS DANGEROUS I HAVE CARRIED IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MACHANIC SHOPS ONE BEING FIRESTONE BEST OF THE BEST AND HAVE HAD DIOGNOSTIC TESTS CONDUCTED AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF MY ISSUE! IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES I HAVE READ MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES HAPPENING ONLINE WITH THE TUSCONS AND SANTA FE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED! I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE IN THE REAR END WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE BRAKE! AND IT WAS AS IF I WAS FIGHTING WITH MY VEHICLE TO STOP
