Description of the problem | I have a 2010 santa fe with 19k miles..... Twice this week i was driving and suddenly the gas pedal stopped working and engine light came on. Brakes worked, thank goodness. Anyone else have "sudden unintended deceleration"?? After the first event, i had it towed to the dealer (following protocol in the manual). They reported a new recall (it had been serviced a few months ago), executed a computer update and all was fixed (or so i thought). 4 days later, with less than 100 miles driven since the repair, it happened again. This time i was in 35mph traffic so when the accelerator pedal no longer worked, i almost was rear-ended. I was able to coast out of traffic (brakes and steering fine)to a side street. I was able to coast home (. 5 mile or so). Car would accelerate after stop signs, although the gas pedal doesn't respond at all. Very scary that it even shifted to a higher gear and would go 30mph and keep accelerating if i didn't brake! The first repair info: 1. Spring protector install (tsb#11-01-021); cause: camp 2. Tc7 cm ecm update p0111 10-01-034; cause: camp *tt |
