| Description of the problem | Complaint is about a 2005 hyundai santa fe lx with 3. 5l engine. There is a problem with the accelerator that there is a delay in response when the accelerator is pressed. This delay is over a second long, and causes the driver to keep pressing down on the accelerator. When the sensor finally reacts, there is more acceleration applied than is desired, causing the vehicle to start out faster than intended, or not starting out when the driver wanted to. This is dangerous as the driver does not know how much acceleration will be applied to the engine, or when the car will start moving, thus making it difficult when to apply gas, and not knowing how the car will react. *nm |
