| 2008 hyundai santa fe will not go over 20 mph. after pressing on the brakes several times it starts to move again. i took the vehicle to the hyundai dealership because the check engine light also came during this ordeal. the dealership said they fixed the problem, but it has rear its ugly head again. the check engine light is on and it will not go over 20 mph. i am not the only owner of a 2008 hyundai santa fe who has experienced this problem. please contact the hyundai manufacturer to solve this problem, because it can lead to a serious traffic accident if it's not fixed. let's be proactive this time instead of waiting until someone is in a fatal accident. *tr | |||
