Hyundai Sonata Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Oct 30, 2010
Reported on Oct 30, 2010
| WHILE DRIVING OUR VEHICLE THE THROTTLE HAD STUCK, I PULLED ON THE FLOOR MAT AS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES THINKING THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AS THE CAR WASN'T SLOWING DOWN. I POPPED THE THROTTLE WITH MY FOOT HOPING THIS WOULD FREE UP THE THROTTLE, WHICH JUST MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, KEPT APPLYING THE BRAKE UNTIL I SAFELY GOT THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM THAT SAME DAY TO FIND OUT THAT THE COMPUTER CHIP HAD FAILED. I DON¿T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE. *TR | |
