Had a problem with the accelerator getting stuck. Took it to the dealer and was told by a svc tech that he personally experienced the same thing with two other 2008 Santa Fe's. They found that the carpet gets stuck under the accelerator. They are still looking at my car but I expect they won't find anything mechanical if this is the case. I was extremely lucky I didn't hit anyone or anything. Saw one other listing on Edmunds Automotive with same complaint. Otherwise, love Hyundai. This is my third, but I am starting to look for more info on this problem, as I consider it serious. Who can I report this to?
