The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for preventing sudden acceleration of an automatic transmission vehicle which limit engine torque and operate a brake to prevent sudden acceleration of a vehicle if a sudden acceleration phenomenon occurs by a mal-operation of a driver when shifting from an N end or a P end to a D end or an R end while the vehicle is stopped. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for preventing sudden acceleration of an automatic transmission vehicle comprises: a step of detecting data for determining whether a sudden acceleration condition is satisfied; a step of determining whether a gear-shifting end is an N end or a P end while an engine is started; a step of determining whether the sudden acceleration condition is satisfied based on the detected data if the gear-shifting end is the N end or the P end while the engine is started; and a step of limiting torque of the engine to prescribed torque or lower and operating a brake if the sudden acceleration condition is satisfied. |
