| Description of the problem | The 2008 santa fe traveling between 55& 60mph on divided highway would not slow down when i took my foot off of accelerator. I applied brakes but difficult to make vehicle stop. I think i slowed it down a lot but did not or would not be able to stop. It was like idle got stuck on high! After 20 seconds or so the acceleration returned to normal & i proceeded. It was scary ! First time this happened. I just had it in for service to replace to headlights & missing screw under front seat. |
