Reported at 800 miles, May 2012

I have previously reported this. My 2012 hyundai accent with automatic transmission often surges. On the highway, it will continue at same speed or even accelerate when I lift my foot. Stopped in traffic, it will lurch forward when the car ahead of me moves and I lift my foot. When parking, it will red-line when I shift to neutral or park. This does not happen all the time, but happens throughout certain trips, from when I begin to drive, until I exit the car.
