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...
..;-) "

Nah, never had that filling on my 03, cannot remember mpg during break-in,
but it was baaaad, after second tank of gas start to improve, now I get
20-22 in the city, 24-26 in the hwy, if I keep the hwy speed under 65 then
it goes up to 28, but no fun at all.

You might have something sticking then. I'd ask the dealer to look at it
again and make sure they understand you have an issue with the pedal
sticking when begin to apply pressure. Could be either the cable or the
mechanical dealie to which the sensor attaches.

Re: 2005 Santa Fe Accelerator
 

There are often trade-offs for better fuel economy -- many times higher
compression, which allows more power but exerts more force on the engine
components. Hyundai has never been known to be on the upper spectrum of
engine compression.

If you rate a design poor just because of fuel economy, then you're being
rather narrow-minded as to all the variables of powertrain design.
