| Description of the problem | On about june 23, 2014 my wife was driving her 2008 hyundai veracruz at about 65mph. It started slowing down even though the gas pedal was pushed. She pulled over and shut the car off while trying to decide what to do. She decided to turn the car back on and see how it drove. It seemed fine the rest of the way home. Before i could take it into the repair shop the check engine light turned off by itself. I thought maybe there was just a mistake with the light coming on and everything was fine. About two weeks later, while driving at about the same speed, it started slowing down by itself again. She pulled off to the side and shut the car off again. I had her turn it on a couple minutes later and everything was fine again. The check engine light has stayed on this time and i took it right to the shop to get fixed. I ran a code reader and everything sounded like it was the throttle position sensor. Well the shop tells me that it's the throttle body that needs replaced. I took it in on monday, july 14 and they said they had to order the part and it would be here on thursday, july 17. So thursday we dropped the car off and waited for the call that it was done. Didn't happen!! We finally called them around 5:00 and they said that they were still waiting on the part and it should definitely be done by saturday, july 19. Saturday morning they call and say that they don't know where the part it and that is lost somewhere!?!? Now they're saying it will definitely be done by tuesday, july 22. We'll see. I have seen numerous complaints about this same issue and the concerns that there is a design problem with the throttle body/ throttle position sensor but hyundai doesn't seem to think so. |
