VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

my daughter was driving on highway at about 60 mph with my wife and grandson when she lost accelerator function on her hyundai azera (2009 model). i am very concerned that this is a safety hazard. is this a common problem and what can be done that it does not occur again? the dealer stated that the throttle sensor failed and shutdown the system. i am still skeptical that the could have caused a very accident and loss of life and property. is it safe for her to drive this car?

ENGINE

i purchased a 2009 hyundai azera last year from fuccillo chevrolet in grand island, new york. the car was new and still on the lot after 2 years but i was assured that there was nothing wrong it and i have been pleased with the vehicle up until now. however, yesterday while driving home from work, the car went into an emergency slow-down mode and both the ecs off and check engine light went on. this happened on the thruway while i was driving in heavy traffic which was harrowing. fortunately, i was able to 'limp' off the highway and get to a side street. i called my husband and the emergency roadside assistance and my vehicle has now been taken to northtown hyundai in amherst, ny. my husband researched the slow-down/ecs issue on the internet and found that there have been numerous cases of this happening due to a defective throttle control device in many of the hyundai and kia models. in fact, a woman at the service counter who had a 2007 azera had the exact same issue with her car! needless to say, this should be a recall issue and that is the reason why i am writing. it seems that this throttle control issue is fairly common with these vehicles and it is also potentially dangerous. please make them initiate a recall.
