problem #1

Santa Fe

  • miles
While accelerating after a complete stop, the vehicle failed to respond. Dealer could not duplicate or correct the problem. The vehicle did not respond and the consumer had to push on the pedal to make it go, especially at a spotlight following other vehicles. The vehicle had been to the dealer on three occasions. The crank sensor was installed which did not solve the problem. Another mechanic solved the problem in a few minutes stating that it was a minor mechanical problem.
