| Description of the problem | Purchased new 7/172017 santa fe ultimate 2. 0t. This suv does not accelerate and lags on an intermittent basis happens at a lower speed and from a stop. Very dangerous when making a turns and entering freeway or traffic cicles (roundabouts) when depressing accelerator and your vehicle slowly moves forward and fails to accelerate to the required speed you are requesting for a second or more. Now you have placed yourself in a very dangerous position because ofthis vehicles inability to respond. Then all of a sudden it takes off. Does not happen every time but is frequent enough to be concerned. Has happened continually since new. My wife loves the vehicle but is afraid to drive it.. No one seems to know what the problem is but there are certainly enough complaints that someone should investigate and get after hyundai to fix the situation before someone god forbid is killed.. Or that's unfortunately what it will take to resolve this serious defect. I love the vehicle especially the turbo but it's scary. |
