The vehicle while foot on brake or while in park accelerates on its own! I almost got into an accident because my foot was all the way on the brake for car to stop but engine was still inching forward while in stopped position! When it is in park it tries to accelerate but ends up stalling out and then im unable to start back up for about 10 minutes also when going a steady city wide speed my car chooses to accelerate without making it do so this is scary I have 2 small children and this is dangerous I have carried it to 2 different machanic shops one being firestone best of the best and have had diognostic tests conducted and they are unable to find the cause of my issue! It happens at various times I have read many of the same issues happening online with the tuscons and santa fe this issue needs to be investigated!

When slowing or idling the car will stall and come to a stop, unable to accelerate again. As the car stalls it becomes very difficult to steer and all the dashboard lights come on (check engine light, oil light, emergency break light, etc). This usually happens when I am slowing down to make a turn and has happened once on the highway. Very scary and dangerous to come to a sudden stop while trying to take an exit on the highway.

My 2006 hyundai tucson has stalled out repeatedly during deceleration. It has died repeatedly while turning into a parking lot. It has also died while slowing down for a stop sign. It has jerked and felt like it was down-shifting (hard)while driving on the highway. Today, 10/1/10, it died while driving through an intersection. I have taken the car to the dealer three times and they have been "unable to recreate the problem" so nothing has been done to fix it.
