I was 1 mile from my home at a red light when my 2005 Elantra accelerated without the gas pedal being touched. I first tried the brakes which did not stop the vehicle from accelerating. I turned the car around and had to ride the brakes until I could get the vehicle home. I put the vehicle in a variety of positions, for example drive, park, and neutral the engine still raced. The vehicle smelled of a burning smell. The vehicle had to be towed to the shop.
