When approaching cross traffic on a busy state highway from a business parking lot at low speed, my 2007 Hyundai Entourage experienced a sudden unintentional acceleration (sua) and was unable to be stopped on dry pavement. Even though the foot brake was depressed with as much force as possible, the vehicle was slowed but still uncontrollably moved into cross traffic without my opportunity to stop and prepare for clear and safe entry onto the highway. The oncoming driver from the left, although not able to stop while sounding his horn, swerved to the left ahead of my vehicle thereby avoiding a broad-side collision with my vehicle. Speed limit on this straight section of road was 45 mph and my car was still moving straight ahead at a 'walking pace' but still unstoppable. My car narrowly missed colliding with the vehicle that was passing in front of me to avoid the broad-side collision. After the car passed in front of my vehicle, I had maybe 12 feet until hitting the guard rail unless I turned sharply left which I did. Once heading left on the highway in the proper lane, the sua ended on it own. The entire event was over in just seconds. Fortunately there were no collisions and no injuries. Nevertheless, this sua represent a dangerous safety concern which was reported to Hyundai usa.

I was driving the speed limit when all of sudden my hood flew up, smashed my windshield, thank god I was able to pull over and no one was hurt but, my hood was crunched and my windshield shattered, set up an appt. With Hyundai dealership as they told me the latch for hood had been recalled. On my way home stopped for gas, pulled in behind a man with his young child in a car seat when the van just started to accelerate, I couldn't stop, even holding both feet on the brake peddle, my husband reached over and turned the van off. We slammed into the back of the car with the baby in it, again, thank god no one was hurt but had these been different circumstances who knows what would have happened. Have no idea what caused the van to accelerate, and am really afraid of driving now.

The brake lights of my 2007 Hyundai Entourage do not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. Also the electronic stability control (ESC) light won't go off, and the cruise control will not engage. Contacted Hyundai customer assistance, little to no help. They confirmed the online alldata repair notice that said there is a recall for this vehicle with the exact problems. However, they couldn't tell me if repair was covered under recall. They suggested I contact local dealer and have car diagnosed at my cost.

Noticed cruise control was not activating and then not deactivating when manually braking. Upon arrival at destination, when engine was turned off, brake lights are remaining on and draining the battery. Unable to get the lights to turn off. Been having intermittent occurrences of ESC indicator going on at inappropriate times and remaining on. During those times, vehicle feels as if brakes are being applied even while I am attempting to accelerate on a straightaway. Vehicle seems to be so slow as if brakes are engaged. Found that stopping the vehicle and turning off the ignition completely will sometimes reset the car. Hyundai customer care was awful!!!! said the stoplampswitch on my vehicle has already been replaced through a previous recall so they cannot replace it again even though the exact same problem is still occurring again. They want me to take it to the dealer and pay for the diagnosis and replacement of the same part and problem! I've done that twice before (paid for diagnosis of faulty sliding doors which is why I came in to begin with) only to be told the erratic automatic sliding side doors will cost me $600 each to be fixed. Unacceptable customer service. Doors should open and close but we have had to live with non-working doors for over 5 years because Hyundai would not fix them for free as that was not a recall issue for them. Shameful service.
