The contact owns a 1995 Hyundai Sonata gl. The contact was driving with the cruise control set to 60 mph when the throttle would not release. The contact applied the brakes but the cruise control would not deactivate. The contact moved off the roadway and shifted into park. The contact manually disconnected the cruise control and the vehicle resumed normal operation. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired.

Sonata 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 107,263 miles
Speed control issue: The vehicle idle is rough & irregular, stalls without warning, $$$..expensive repairs-same problems. The stallings accounts for several near rear-end collisions. Finally, on Nov.8,2004. I press down on the accelerator, the vehicle accelerate from 0 to 40 mph in a matter of seconds, almost crashed into some parked vehicles. The vehicle transmission shifter was placed in neutral & brakes applied to stop this out-of -control vehicle. A non-experience driver would of crashed, injuring self, other(s) & property. The vehicle was pushed into a parking spot were it will remain until examined. Now, the throttle linkage is stuck in the open-position. Resolution: What must be done to resolve this "death-trap" issue"? should the Hyundai company be notified?"

The rpms go haywire starting at any speed and even stalls when car is at a stop or going at a low speed. This car has had alot of work done to it to fix this ongoing problem but never corrected and none of the things they said they were fixed the ongoing problem. We had two transmissiions, 2 distrubter caps plus a new distrubitor and replaced new computer boards put in and nothing has solved this ongoing problem
