I was driving a hyudai elentra rental car and I was stopped at a red light with the car in drive and my foot on the brake, and the brake was not holding the car back and the car was drifting forward a little into the intersection. I put the car into neutral and you could hear the engine revving very fast even though I did not have my foot on the gas pedal. I told the attendant when I returned the rental car that the brake wasn't holding the car back at a red light, but told her that I did not know what the problem was. She said that she would take the car out of service to be checked. The following week in the March 9 usa today there was an article reporting that some Toyota Camry, Camry Solara, and Lexus ES 300S surged forward with no reason. I believe that this is what occurred in the Hyundai that I was driving. I have called avis to give them the car number that I was driving so that they can take the car in to be checked. I have listed the car below as a 2004 model. I believe that it was a 2004 because it was new and had low mileage. A question below asks whether it had cruise control, but I don't know.
