| I have the same complaint as many santa fe owners. problems of acceleration at 40, along with shifting issues. on several trips to the dealer, leaving the car there for sometimes 7-15 days at a time. it has had 4 throttle position sensors, an alternator and 2 batteries. my mileage is 100,386 and the vehicle needs 3000.00 worth of transmission work. hyundai simply states my vehicle is out of warranty and these issues do not have anything to do with my transmission. i have a signed statement from the transmission shop manager that states a tps problem absolutely will affect the transmission. *nm | |||

| When the vehicle reachs approximately 40 mph it stutters. when the problem occurs i takemy foot off the accelerator and then putting your foot back on this fixes the problem. if i push through 40 mph then i do not get the stutter. i have taking the car in to hyundai and they fixed the ball joint on the drivers front wheel, they said this will fix the problem; but has not fixed it. i went back up to hyundai and now they say they don't know what it could be. anything from transmission flush to the balance of the wheels.*ak | |||

| When the vehicle reachs approximately 40 mph, the vehicle bucks, stutters, hesitates, downshifts for a few seconds. when the problem occurs it is like you are taking your foot off the accelerator and then putting your foot back on. we no longer feel safe in the vehicle and its only a matter of time before the transmission breaks leaving us stranded or even worse causing a fatal accident. americas best warranty is a meaningless slogan when a company chooses to deny that there is a serious and dangerous defect in a vehicle.*ak | |||

| At approximately 30 to 45 mph, whether accelerating or slowing down, there is a severe downshift which jerks the truck, in the engine as though the engine is cutting out before it catches up with itself. i have had it into the dealership on 3 separate occasions, and am always told when i go to pick up my truck that nothing showed up on the diagnostic tests run on my vehicle and that they cannot figure out what may be causing the problem.*ak | |||
