The vehicle lacks acceleration suddenly and the rom goes up really high when on a highway creating a dangerous situation as I am pressing in the gas and am not not getting a response. This seems to be a problems with many Santa Fe's and the dealer shrugged it off and proposed we clean the fuel system and throttle body, which I did with no result. The vehicle is so dangerous that my wife almost got into an accident with a truck due to to the vehicle lacking acceleration and suddenly slowing down on a 65 mph highway.

This vehicle has a surging issue. When I come to a complete stop it acts like it's going to die. Took it to dealer and it continues to perform the same. Not pleased.

While driving on a smooth highway, the sunroof exploded out of the car. If the sunscreen had been open, my wife and I would have been cut to pieces by the flying glass.

The suspension in my car is so rough riding that no one wants to ride in the car any more. When I brake, especially if it is suddenly, everyone slams or jerks forward; when I go over speed bumps, even gently, everyone jerks around. It's awful.
