Got jackrabbit yesterday evening(aprl. 13 sunday 2014, 6:30pm ). When I tried exit to roadway from parking lot, motor rev up by itself and break system could not stopped vehicle completely. I could hear the squeaking noise from breaks even I push the break pedal deep, I still was in the parkinig lot and could steer onto empty parking space and shifted lever to "neutral" and right after that, motor RPM jumped over 6000 with loud motor noise. I shot off the motor and a little later, reignite over and over, same thing happened. About 20 minutes later, symptom disappeared by itself. I think I was lucky because I was not on the highway. I video recorded this with my smart phone. * js

Twice today, while driving in stop/go traffic, the car felt as if it was accelerating on its own. When I took the foot of the brake to go, the car would jolt forward on its own. Had to press the brake bery hard to make sure it wouldnt go by itself. I had to pull over, afraid I would hit car. When I put it on neutral, the engine revved to 3000rpms and it stayed there. My foot was not on the gas pedal at all. When I tried shifting back to drive, it jolted forward. The only way to get it to stop doing this was to turn the engine off. After the first time, I drove about 30 min in 40mph traffic, before it did it again. At times the car felt like it didnt want to accelerate when I wanted to. Then as traffic slowed down, started accelerating on its own again. This is not the first time this happens. I brought the car to the hyundai dealership several months back for the same issue and they said they found nothing wrong. Someone needs to look into this before someone gets hurt.

Over the past two months I've experienced three cases of uncontrolled acceleration. Specifically, as I'm driving the car begins to accelerate. I remove my foot from the accelerator and the car continues to accelerate. As I step on the brake the car will slow down, but it's "fighting" me. As I remove my foot from the brake the car begins to accelerate again. If I shift into neutral while this is happening, the RPM's on the car increase very rapidly. The only way I can stop this is to turn the car off. I'm not using cruise control and I have been traveling from 35 to 40 MPH. I can't recreate this problem at will and neither can the dealer - so nobody at the dealership has any idea what to do. They have contacted hyundai with no luck.

On 8/16/11, while driving down a couple of hills on my brakes, approaching a car & stop sign at an intersection a little over 2 blocks away, I pressed down harder on the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. The car, a new, 2011 hyundai genesis, would not stop. I continued to press harder and harder on the brake, but the car would not stop. It just continued at to move at the speed I was driving down the hill, approximately 15-20 MPH. As a result, the car rolled directly into the car sitting at the stop sign.
