| Description of the problem | The santa fe sport was purchased in july of 2017. When taking off from a redlight or while driving at a steady momentum on the road, the acceleration drops significantly and the rpms begin to rev up high, bouncing up and down, but the santa fe sport will stall. While on the highway, the issue continues and panic sents in due to the cars behind us can rear end the santa fe sport. No matter how far or hard the gas pedal is pressed the santa fe sport will stall. All while no "engine light" turns on. Took the santa fe sport for service to the dealer over 6 times between 2017 and 2018 and only an ems part was replaced. The problem continues mostly in very bad traffic, again very concerning for safety. The santa fe sport needs to be turned off and back on in order for the problem to cease. No matter what drive mode it is in (eco; sport; normal) the issue persists. We purchased a brand new 2017 santa fe sport right off the lot which has been paid for and it is unfair that we are still paying what seems like our lives we continue to spend more with gas, tolls, travel and time from work to take the santa fe sport in for service and we do not get refunded for this. |
