The car suddenly and unintentionally accelerated. To avoid going through the back of my garage, I turned slightly and hit the frame of the garage. It continued to accelerate for a few seconds until I managed to stop it. I then backed up. Again, the car suddenly unintentionally accelerated. I managed to stop it. I slowly drove it into the garage. I left it in the garage until having it towed to Planet Hyundai. I did not want to drive it in case it accelerated on the drive to Planet Hyundai. I was driving about 5 mph when I hit the frame of the garage. The car continued to accelerate. Automatic Emergency breaking and Forward collision warning. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer. The inspector or the dealer could not reproduce the problem. The vehicle can be inspected. The vehicle has been parked at Planet Hyundai from 1/29/2024 to 4/15/2024 I reported the incident to Hyundai USA.I have not received any inspection reports.

When vehicle is just slightly moving and the accelerator is depressed, the vehicle does not respond, zero acceleration. This issue is repeatable and poses a hazard when cross traffic is coming. Wether in Eco, Smart or Sport mode, it has this non-accelerating issue.

This is copy and pasted from your site. Hyundai does not have a recall ready, so I am filing a complaint. Is this the correct action? THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRIC OIL PUMP FOR THE IDLE STOP & GO SYSTEM (ISG) IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MIGHT HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS (PCB) THAT WERE DAMAGED DURING MANUFACTURING BY THE OIL PUMP CONTROLLER SUPPLIER. A DAMAGED CAPACITOR ON THE PUMP CONTROLLER PCB COULD IMPACT ELECTRICAL OPERATION LEADING TO HEAT DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRIC OIL PUMP CIRCUIT BOARD, CONNECTOR, AND WIRING HARNESS. THE HEAT DAMAGE AT THE PUMP INCREASES THE RISK OF A VEHICLE FIRE IN ADDITION TO A POTENTIAL CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) COMMUNICATION DISRUPTION FOR MULTIPLE ONBOARD CONTROLLERS. Thanks for your time.

Unknown what fails. After driving approximately 30 minutes on a highway, car suddenly stops accelerating and bucks a bit as it slows. Must turn off car and turn it back on to accelerate again. Happens on the highway frequently. Very dangerous as there-??s no way to accelerate. Only stop. It-??s like it can-??t find a gear and the engine revs. It happened 6 times during a 2.5 hour drive.
