What owners wrote
I have been getting electrical shocks from my car around the well of the drivers side. I have been told that there are 7 service bullitans on the car. I have had to go to urgent care and the emergency room over this and the doctor was worried that I may have nerve damage to my foot over this. I was told that this was related to the accelerator control/engine control module. I have been trying to get help with this and hyundai will not return my calls.
The car dealer is telling me that all 4 tone rings and speed sensors on my hyundai santa fe are bad and need to be replaced. One was replaced 4 months ago under warranty. Now they say that the other 3 are bad. I have less than 53,000 miles on my car.
