Description of the problem	I purchase a new 2005 hyundai santa fe equipped with the 3. 5 engine and 4 wheel drive in july of 2005. As i now found out, this optional 3. 5 engine is equipped with a computer operated acceleration throttle engine. This new set up is very poorly designed, has a few second delay and then the car darts off fast, sometimes spinning all drive wheels on dry pavement. I bought a 4 wheel drive unit for our rain, snow covered roads in oregon, however it's much worst on this type of conditions. I've almost rear ended the car ahead of me several times and also have to have one foot on brake pedal in heavy traffic or where i have to stop for people crossing the street. This i know is a very dangerous with pedestrians and heavy stop and go traffic in every day situations. I've quit driving this vehicle in those situations as i don't want to cause property damage or lost of life, since i've had a stroke and slower now. I called my local hyundai dealer and they suggested i have it tow 55 miles to them, which i did. After several days there, they said they re programmed the computer and it was somewhat better. I picked it up and within a few city blocks i new it was just the same as before. I was planning a trip to las vegas, nv. And decided i would take it there and then to a dealer in that town, which i did. What a surprise, that dealership was very well a where of the problem and had hundreds of complaints concerning the exact problem. The service manager and mechanic came out to tell me that there was a real problem with the 3. 5 engine and that there was no fix for it at that time, my best cure would be to trade it in for a another car !!. They would not even try to fix it. I paid 25,000. 00 dollars for it and can't even know drive it safely. *jb
