| Description of the problem | I have just purchased my santa fe sport 2. 0t ultimate 4 days ago and while driving home today from work traffic was a stop and go. Car drove fine for about a mile in this traffic (i drive a total of 16 miles a day to and from work), then i tried to go after stopping and there was a big hesitation in the acceleration. The car went to 8 mph then felt as it had stalled and i almost was hit, thankfully my car started going. It did this twice in less then ten minutes and both times i was almost hit. I was on a highway during after work 5:30 rush hour traffic when this happened. This has made me not want to drive my new car i am paying for. |
