| Description of the problem | On june 11, 2014 my 2011 hyundai santa fe ( 55051 miles) started making a whining sound when the car is first started. I took the car into a hyundai dealer and they discovered that the pulley idler needed to be replaced. Fortunately my car is still under warranty. On june 27th, 2014 my hyundai santa fe (55376 miles), check engine light came on. The car did not want to accelerate. Above 20 mph. I took the car back to the dealer and they discovered the 55376 po638 lost communication and had to replace the throttle sensor. Coming home today july 17th 2014, the car was a little hesitant when accelerating after coming to a complete stop and trying to step on the gas pedal. Has anyone reported these problems? |
