Since the other thread was too long for me to navigate thru I thought
I'd just start over. Regarding the comments about the accelerator
(which I call a gas pedal) I had posted the same thing several months
ago about my 2003 Santa Fe. The service people could not fix it. It
is not a "computerized" gas pedal, or electronic. I was basically told
to live with it. Also, I have spoken with several other Santa Fe
owners who have the same thing. You think the company would put out a
fix for it. It is very annoying, especially this winter when I want
nice smooth starts in the snow. Hyundai Tech's ideas did not work, so
for now I just live with it. And I don't care what you say, it has to
effect the gas mileage, which isn't good to begin with. Other than
than I love the vehicle.

 

diddnt you notice the issue when you test drove it?

is this just an issue with the 3.5 V6?? as I have an 06 Santa Fe with an
2.7 V6 and I dont have that problem.. acceleration is nice and smooth from
the start why would there be a difference from one to the other?? just
curious..

I don't recall your previous post, fancyhit, so I'm not sure what we're
actually discussing. There isn't really anything in common with your
accelerator and the one on the 3.5, so the fact that you have a problem
similar to someone else doesn't necessarily indicate an overall issue that
needs to be fixed. In any event, I'm sorry my ideas didn't help and that
your dealer was unable to help you.

No we did not notice it at the time. When driving a different vehicle
you really wouldn't know if it was a problem or not. Also, as I said,
the problem is much more common than some of you think. The dealer
drove a 2005 that did the same thing, so he basically couldn't, or
wouldn't do anything else. It is a cable system, not computerized as
some have mentioned. The whole assembly was replaced, the cable, and
lots of greasing and no change. So we live with it. Others I've
spoken with have the same thing and just live with it also. The
company really should look into this, but they don't seem too
interested.

The 2.7 doesn't have the electronic throttle system. It's a direct cable
link from the pedal to the throttle plate.a
