 Intermittent issue where the gas pedal does not work - depressing it does not cause the engine to rev at all. this has occurred with the vehicle at 40 mph, then no power as vehicle slowed down to 15 mph before it started working. other symptoms when this occurs are as follows: with headlights turned on, the left turn signal is stuck on. if headlights are off, selecting the left turn signal can cause various dash lights to blink, and engine loses power in synch with the blinking lights.

 When pushing the gas pedal to accelerate from stopped position there is a notable pause. (1-3 seconds??)this then causes you to push accelerator further ,thereby causing a much more sudden acceleration. i am used to it because it has happened intermittently since car was new, but someone could get in trouble. hyundai service says its because the pedal is sending a position of pedal through an electronic signal to fuel metering system.

 A 2010 hyundai santa fe was involved in a front end impact . the vehicle was taken to a local body shop for repairs. in the normal course of repairs, the shop replaced the components of the supplementary restraint system and sent the vehicle to the local dealer to check for error codes and to reset the system. one of the error codes would not clear. the dealer, in washington state advised the repair shop and us that pursuant to a tsb,01-90-013, hyundai recommends that the wiring harness also must be replaced in addition to the standard parts of the airbag system, when the air bags are deployed. there was no direct damage to the wiring harness and this appears to be some unique requirement designed into the harness by hyundai. it is unclear why this is required or what unique feature was built into the harness that demands the replacement of the entire harness. this added requirement adds an additional $6,767.75 to the repair cost over and above the regular collision related cost. whereas this requirement is unique to the new 2010 santa fe model and is not function required during the standard replacement of air bags in any other vehicle that we are aware of, we must ask is this a defect, is this simply a design feature to enhance profit from repairs or is there some unique feature to the wire harness design that serves some other purpose or function? any information would be appreciated
