I > believe these is a TSB out for the problem as well. It's more mechanical in nature (and yes, I realize its an electronic accelerator). The problem is that the pedel is very "stiff" (for lack of a better word) when I first begin to apply pressure to it with my foot. Rather than giving way gradually and smoothly, it "breaks" in that it just suddenly gives way. As a result, acceleration is also sudden and jerky from a dead stop. I can overcome it with effort by stiffening my foot and ankle muscles so that the pressure I apply is even and compensates for the sudden give by the pedel. |

Re: 2005 Santa Fe Accelerator
what do you expect from an SUV, didnt you do ANY research BEFORE you bought
it??? maybe you be better suited with a horse and buggy... then you wont have to WHINE about your fuel mileage... I own a 2006 Santa Fe.. LOVE it dont care bout the fuel mileage because I knew what it was BEFORE I purchased it... Pete...

I know that UseNet is the home of ignorant knee-jerk reactions, but the level of stupidity behind them never ceases to amaze me. Yes, I did research before I bought. What I expected was mileage at least approximating the EPA estimates as well as what the company itself touts. I also read many reports from owners (like those above) describing much better mileage than I'm seeing. There is absolutely nothing in any of my posts to suggest otherwise. So, in short, trying giving those two brain cells that are desperately clinging to a lonely existence on the inside of that otherwise empty skull of yours some exercise before shooting off your ill-informed mouth next time. |

Re: 2005 Santa Fe Accelerator
Well, I checked some of your other posts in this group and found that
this really isn't about anything I said. You're just another belligerant, mouthy jag-off in general: - "go pay another 20K and get yerself a REAL 4WD then and quit yer bitching... ..;-) " |
