- TSB Fixes This Programming Issue Due To ESC - The acceleration issue that occurs when going over a bump/pavement is due to an over-aggressive Electronic Stability Control programming. Hyundai has a TSB (it's in the thread linked). I had the issue and the TSB fixes it.

Purchased a new Santa Fe because I drove a Tuscon for 12 yrs/170,000 miles and loved that SUV. 1st time repeat customer for the same auto company and was sure this would be an excellent auto too. I had the experiences of changing levels of pavement (down a curb-like decline while driving about 15mph) when the SUV stopped, seemed to re-level itself before it would let me accelerate. I was in traffic and could have easily been back-ended the delay was that long. It happened several more times regardless if in ECO, STD or SPORT drive. I have tried to alter my driving habits, however in an emergency situation it is not always possible. This issue needs to be resolved with software, or a change in the drive train/transmission settings. Very dangerous that this happens with this large SUV.
