Accident involved sudden acceleration and owners suspect electronic defect in the car. Fortunately despite extensive damage to the store and vehicle, no one injured. Owners are working with both insurer and vehicle manufacturer to request appropriate investigation. Driver's statement: "I was pulling into a parking slot at local store. Everything was going normally. I applied pressure to the brakes to come to a complete stop and the car responded and slowed. But just as I was about to come to a complete stop, the engine revved up some and the car kept moving forward. I pressed on the brakes harder, but the car moved forward even faster. I had no time to slip into neutral or cut the engine. I finally lifted my foot for second and stomped on the brake pedal hard, but momentum caused the car to jump the curb and I shattered a huge plate glass window in the front of the store. The car finally came to a stop in a hail of glass shards partially inside the store, the engine still revving higher than at "idle" speed. I shut off the engine. And that's what I recollect about what happened in the few seconds it took for the car's failure to stop and running through the window.

Santa Fe

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe - May 27, 2010 I was driving on the interstate at 65mph when the passenger rear wheel locked up causing the car to fishtale - as I moved over in to the slow lane, it fishtaled again. The dealer it was towed to said it was the yaw sensor which they replaced. I informed them at that time that the ecs off light had been coming on to which they replied it had nothing to do with the yaw sensor I called the week of July 4th to let the dealer know that the ecs off light came on again - they informed me that this has been a problem for many Santa Fe's and they needed me to come down (150+ miles one way) to hook it up to see what the code tells them. On July 19, 2010 driving 75mph on the interstate, both rear wheels locked up and there were no brakes. This car is a danger to my life!

The 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe limited was designed without a front dome light that would normally be actuated via keyless remote or by unlocking or by opening any of the doors. This is a safety issue when approaching the vehicle at night. Such devices have been standard equipment in vehicles for many years. Why has Hyundai chosen to forego this basic safety item?
