THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.  I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT LEAST 4 TIMESFOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM:  WHEN I START THE VEHICLE UP EVERY MORNING, THE RPM'S RACE TO OVER 2000 AND DECLINES SLIGHTLY TO ABOUT 1500 AND STAYS AT THIS SPEED FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES.  WHEN I PULL FROM A PARKING SPACE (WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL), THE SPEEDOMETER HOVER BETWEEN 10 AND 15 MILES AN HOUR, AGAIN, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR.  AS A RESULT OF THIS VERY HIGH \"IDLING\" PROBLEM, I BELIEVE IT IS A VERY REAL DANGER TO NOT ONLY THE DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES BUT ANY POSSIBLE PEDESTRIANS OR PROPERTY THAT MAY BE STRUCK.  THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION DENIES THIS IS A PROBLEM AND SAY IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE.  WHEN I ASK FOR DETAILS REGARDING THEIR TESTING THEY REFUSE TO SEND IT TO ME. I HAVE DETAILED INFORMATION (NAMES, DATES TIMES AND PLACES) CONCERNING  WHAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE A \"RECALL\" BUT IS BEING COVERED UP BY HYUNDAI.  PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION.
