2005 Santa Fe Accelerator
My apologies if this is a re-hash of an existing topic, but I was unble
to locate anything via a search of the group. I just bought a '05 Santa Fe (unbeatable set of clearance rebates), new, and am so far happy with the vehicle, save for one annoyance. The accelerator pedal offers what I consider to be excessive physical resistance before giving way, making it being very difficult to smoothly accelerate from a dead stop. I'm wondering if: 1) This is common to all new '05 Santa Fes. 2) If so, is it something that will ease after break-in? Anyone have any experience with this? |
Re: 2005 Santa Fe Accelerator
I have also got myself a 05 Santy 3.5L v6 but even thought I don't find
the pedal 'excessively resistant' but the pickup is. Invariably the car needs reving to 2.5-3K rpm before settling down to 2K rpm to take it from stationary to 30-40mph from stop . I have driven 3000 miles but the 'proverbial' break-in hasnt't happened. anyone can help? |

I replied to this 2 days ago from another account, but for some reason the post never showed up here. In any event, I have the 3.5L. |

Re: 2005 Santa Fe Accelerator
Also, after my first tank of gas, and mostly highway driving, I'm
getting 16.7 mpg. The much heavier, 10 year-old 4.0L Ford Explorer my Santa Fe replaced was giving me just over 17 mpg with the same driving. Someone please tell me that this is going to improve after break-in. |
