As I backed the car from a parking space and started forward and I experienced a sudden acceleration. I was lucky that there was no car in front of me and I was able to reach the parking lot exit safely. I turned left for several hundred yards and reached a traffic signal, I was able to immediately turn left. I proceeded south and entered the left turn lane at route 104 and was the first car at the traffic light waiting for traffic already across the intersection waiting to turn left onto route 104. The car across the intersection began to move and I stepped on the accelerator and the car shot across the intersection at full speed instantly and I was driven into the car in front. There was no chance to stop the car. The steering wheel airbag deployed and cut both my wrists when they held the steering wheel. The engine continued to race until I turned off the ignition. A police officer arrived shortly asked one or two questions and suggested I remain in the car. Medics from a private ambulance service who had been in the evening traffic immediately stopped and I opened my front door windows and spoke to them (a man and woman emt).

The manual transmission in my 2010 hyundai sonata has been having abnormal issues since my date of purchase. First it was just stalling when disengaging the clutch from reverse and first gear; now it is primarily from first gear. To get the car to move forward you must drag the clutch and push the accelerator causing an odd clacking noise in the front of the car, or sometimes it has a squealing or rubbing sound and the car does not move forward and there is a burning smell. Today, when shifting from first gear to second gear, the car lunged forward as though it was accelerating on it's own and I was barely touching the gas pedal. I have taken it to the dealer twice with complaints of the abnormal performance, the first time at 809 miles, and the second time at 1794 miles , and they said they have not been able to duplicate the complaint.
