Description of the problem	We bought this vehicle 4/04 and ever since we drove it off the lot, brand new, it has had the problem of hesitation upon acceleration. We have taken it to our "service department" numerous times and they say that there isn't anything they can do to fix it as no code registers on their diagnostic machine. After reading about all of the other people with the same problem i am amazed that no one has done anything to force hyundai into resolving this issue. If no one has been injured in an accident because of a serious lack of power upon acceleration then it's only a matter of time. Hopefully it won't be anything worse than an injury. This vehicle now has 26,000 miles on it and it has the same problem every day. It would also appear that it is common practice for employees in the "service dept." to deny any problem that can't be seen easily. This is my second santa fe and will definitely be the last. *nm
