What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2017 hyundai santa fe. While the contact's husband was making a left turn at 10 MPH, the vehicle failed to gain speed while the accelerator pedal was depressed. Another vehicle traveling from the opposite direction struck the front passenger side of the contact's vehicle. All of the air bags deployed. A police report was filed and the driver received a citation for failing to yield. The driver sustained a broken left wrist, cuts to the left hand, and bruises to the upper body/torso.
The vehicle fails to accelerate past the initial press of the accelerator from a stop leaving you committed in traffic without power for around 2 seconds. Stepping on the accelerator fails to produce any power. Just had the vehicle looked at by hyundai who said they can find nothing wrong. Hyundai also said there are no bulletins or recalls. A search on the internet shows an alarming amount of chatter from other owners with the same issue.
