| Description of the problem | My new santa fe 2017 has a problem with the car not reacting to pressing the accelerator. Your press the accelerator and the car does not move and the engine does not rev. The hesitation is about 2 seconds long and is very scary. It happens intermittently and from a stopped position. I'm afraid at some point there will be a terrible accident from this problem. I've heard there is a recall 16-01-032 for the tcu update 60co61r1 but i reached out to dealership and they don't know anything about it. This is very dangerous and i did some research there are a lot of people having this same problem. I noticed this problary a week after purchase. |
