| Description of the problem | 2004 hyundai santa fe has sudden acceleration and surging no trouble lights on. Dealership told me the throttle sensor had to be replaced, so we did that. About a month later, same thing happened. Dealership replaced throttle sensor again, at no charge. Said if it happens again we would need a new throttle body. Happened again, so had the throttle body replaced. Happened again and was told it was wiring that had to do with cruise control. Which i never use. Happened again today 3/16/2011. Notified the dealership that i was dropping off tonight in the night drop. I have already paid over $1000. 00 for something that has not been fixed. We will see what happens tomorrow. We maxed out our towing with aaa, so my husband, who works second shift and hour and half away from where we live has to drive it back to the dealership tonight. It started today when he was about 15 minutes away from work. Also this is our only car, and dealership always says their loaner cars are all out. Just wanted this documented and am praying my husband gets back to the dealership ok. |
