    Oh my, my! I bought a 2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS (M5) two years ago and have been having similar issues. It is my first manual car with electronic throttle. My engine gets so much gas going into first gear that people turn around to see what's going on. And if I have to move slowly, as in pulling out of a blind parking space, the car sometimes stalls -- it thinks I'm being indecisive. Trying to find someone to talk to about this has been a futile effort. So how nice to find this article just as I'm thinking about trading it for a new Sonic. (See!!! It's not just me!!) But will I being going into the frying pan? Is this a common drive-by-wire manual transmission problem?
