2005 Hyundai Santa Fe VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

2005 SANTA FE 3.5 BUCKS WHEN CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED AT ALL SPEEDS. DEALER ORDERED PARTS CORRECTED PROBLEM AT SPEEDS UNDER 60 BY REPLACING BODY ASSEMBLY THROTTLE AND GASKET THROTTLE B. STILL BUCKS AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH WHETHER HITTING BRAKE OR CANCEL BUTTON TO DISENGAGE CRUISE. DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER SAYS ALL SANTA FE 3.5'S DO THIS THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL THROTTLE. BUCKING OF CAR IS SO PRONOUNCED EVERY ONE IN THE CAR FEELS IT. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE USING THE CRUISE OVER 60 AND WILL NEVER USE IT WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THE VEHICLE. JUST BECAUSE IT WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY AND THEY ALL DO IT DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. I FEEL THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. I WAS TOLD ONLY THE 3.5'S BUCK WHEN THE CRUISE IS DISENGAGED. *NM

THE THROTTLE HANGS UP WHEN GOING FROM A DEAD STOP. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH AHEAD SO FAST IT SPINS THE TIRES. THIS WILL CAUSE YOU TO REAREND A CAR IN TRAFFIC , OR TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC TO LATE WHICH COULD ALSO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.*AK

DT: WHILE THE CONTACT WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE THE VEHICLE SURGED, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV ABOVE 6500 RPMS. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN. HE REPORTED HAVING NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE ABOVE INCIDENT. HE HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER.*AK

ACCELERATOR PEDAL. VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP,THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATES SOMETIMES MUCH TO QUICKLY CAUSING SOME LOSS OF CONTROL. MECHANIC AT HYUNDAI TRIED TO RESET COMPUTER BUT INFORMED US THAT IT IS SET TO MANUFACTURERS STANDARDS PROBLEM HAS SO FAR BEEN UN-FIXABLE AND THE VEHICLE REMAINS UNSAFE. *JB

COMPLAINT IS ABOUT A 2005 HYUNDAI SANTA FE LX WITH 3.5L ENGINE. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR THAT THERE IS A DELAY IN RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THIS DELAY IS OVER A SECOND LONG, AND CAUSES THE DRIVER TO KEEP PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN THE SENSOR FINALLY REACTS, THERE IS MORE ACCELERATION APPLIED THAN IS DESIRED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO START OUT FASTER THAN INTENDED, OR NOT STARTING OUT WHEN THE DRIVER WANTED TO. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW HOW MUCH ACCELERATION WILL BE APPLIED TO THE ENGINE, OR WHEN THE CAR WILL START MOVING, THUS MAKING IT DIFFICULT WHEN TO APPLY GAS, AND NOT KNOWING HOW THE CAR WILL REACT. *NM

DT: THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED DELAYED ACCELERATION. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER. THEY SAID IT WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. IF AT A COMPLETE STOP AND CONSUMER PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS BEFORE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE. *AK

MY 2005 SANTA FE 3.5L ENGINE HAS A COMPUTER OPERATED GAS PEDAL THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE A SMOOTH LINEAR ACCELERATION. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE AND ACCIDENT OR INJURY OCCURS. *AK THERE WAS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION THAT OCCURRED BETWEEN THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRANSMISSION. THIS SITUATION WAS ESPECIALLY AGGRAVATED ON WET, SNOWY OR ICY ROADS. *SC THE MANUFACTURER CHANGED THE CABLE SYSTEM GAS PEDAL TO A COMPUTER OPERATED GAS PEDAL. *JB
