    We were behind a car going approximately 5 mph in a parking lot waiting for the car ahead of us to turn into a lane and into a parking spot when our car - a hyundai 2004 santa fe - suddenly accelerated once and then again hitting the car in front of us, twice.

    We bought this vehicle 4/04 and ever since we drove it off the lot, brand new, it has had the problem of hesitation upon acceleration. We have taken it to our "service department" numerous times and they say that there isn't anything they can do to fix it as no code registers on their diagnostic machine. After reading about all of the other people with the same problem i am amazed that no one has done anything to…
