| Description of the problem | Had this santa fe for a little over a year. I have noticed several instances of not being able to accelerate, or gain speed, especially when turning or starting from a stopped position, it hesitates to start to the point of almost being hit several times. I have taken it to dealer many times, and they keep telling me its the way i am driving it that the engine is like a standard vehicle, but that doesnt seem safe to me if i am trying to start driving and it wont go. When it does finally decide to go, it takes off way too fast and is like, it finally decides to shift into gear. Also while in park, engine revs to 2500rpm for no reason or idols at that rpm. It feels like the engine is pulling the car forward even when it is in park i have been given the run around so many times, i am tired of it. I'm not happy to see others have this issue, but i am also glad that others are experiencing the same problems. |
