| Description of the problem | 2017 hyundai santa fe sport 2. 0 t when making a turn during acceleration, sudden power loss to engine. Usually happens in 2nd gear, especially after downshift from 3rd gear. Making a sharp left turn from a full stop caused the stability control to turn on and vehicle lost all power (rpm sat at 1500 rpm) for approx. 2 seconds. Almost got rear-ended. Another time, making a right turn on interstate onramp and right front tire hit a pot hole, vehicle lost all power for approx. 2 seconds (around 20 mph). Almost got hit. Making a left hand turn at turn signal (vehicle downshifted from 3rd to 2nd) and vehicle rpm went to 1500 and didn't move for approx. 2 seconds. Almost got hit. Accelerating up hill, slowed down for car in front of me (vehicle downshifted from 3rd to 2nd), approx. 20 mph. Went to accelerate again and vehicle sat at 1500 rpm with power loss for approx. 2 seconds. Several others report this same issue on the various hyundai santa fe forums with the sport turbo. I know there was a tsb for the full-sized santa fe with the v6, but this is the swb (short wheel base) sport model with 4 cylinder turbo. |
