| Description of the problem | The santa fe sport turbo engine severely hesitates to accelerate when coming out of turns or roundabouts to the point where i was almost rear ended! When the engine catches up, it jerks your head back. The other day was the worst when i entered a parking garage with an incline. Upon acceleration, the engine hesitated to the point i almost started rolling backwards. When it finally kicked in, the car surged forward as if the acceleration pedal was floored. A pedestrian literally jumped out of the way thinking my car was going to hit him. This engine is a safety issue! |
