Hello, unintended acceleration: my 2015 hyundai sonata supernaturally flew forward wide open and crashed into my house. 3 or 4 airbags went off and whole front end bad. My wife and I were inside with seat belts on. We had just driven back and pulled in the driveway. I put in park. Then I decided to pull up a couple feet. Put foot on brake put in d and- wham!!- like a missile it was screaming wide open jumping forward.
