| Description of the problem | 2017 hyundai sante fe sport awd - purchased in oct 2017. Currently have 7525 miles on vehicle. I noticed acceleration hesitation immediately after making in city turns (from both stationary and in motion turns) as well as when getting on highway (in motion). I am retired and do not drive sante fe very often. The problems with acceleration after making stationary and in motion turns and getting on highway has always been present since day of purchase. I have noticed the problem has become more prevalent after taking a 1000 mile road trip this past august. The acceleration/ hesitation after turning is more noticeable and is becoming concerning because i have to press petal to floor to get the sante fe to accelerate properly to get out of way of on coming traffic. Hesitations/acceleration problems occurs after turning and when entering a freeway. Very poor engine performance given the vehicle cost of $35,000. I owned a 2011 hyundai sonta for 6 years and had the same 2. 4l engine and i never experienced any engine hesitation like i am now with the 2017 hyundai sante fe sport awd. |
