| Description of the problem | I have a 2017 hyundai santa fe sport 2. 0 with 8500 miles on it. Since i took possession of this car, i have been having repeated occurrences of engine stalling coupled with the traction control light going on. This happens when i make either left or right turns into traffic: acceleration stalls completely for 2-3 seconds, and the traction control warning light flashes. I cannot get the car to accelerate at all, even with the pedal fully depressed to the floor. The engine revs extremely hard, but the car does not accelerate. This happens on completely dry pavement. There is something seriously wrong with the 2017 hyundai santa fe, and someone is going to die as a result of this problem. I have come close to being rear ended multiple times, and i have nearly been t-boned when taking a turn in front of on-coming traffic. I have researched this problem online, and it is wide spread with hundreds of identical complaints. This needs to be addressed immediately before someone dies in the 2017 hyundai santa fe. |
