| Description of the problem | There is a problem with the accelerator on the hyundai santa fe 2007 version. After the second repair attempt the dealer called the regional person and they offered a third solution because that person "had seen this problem before". The third solution did not work as well. The problem is that without notice you simply have no acceleration. Engine runs and there seems to be power but there's no acceleration. It's happened to my wife 3 times pulling out in front of traffic. They have replaced: a pedal sensor and entire gas pedal assembly, repaired a connection to the aps sensor, and as directed by the regional person they replaced the "throttle body assembly" and today, 4/29, the car would not accelerate at a stop light and then violently lunged forward. |
