Re: Santa Fe Accelerator
 

The 2.7 doesn't have the electronic throttle system. It's a direct cable
link from the pedal to the throttle plate.a

Re: Santa Fe Accelerator
 

Neither is that a common problem with the 3.5, I have a -03 LX 3.5, never
notice any problem with the fly-by-wire accelerator pedal.

I'll had loved to get a real tranny (manual), but the 5 speed auto is not
that bad at all.

Knowing what I know now about my 06 Sonata, I'd probably not get a
manual transmission again with the electronic throttle. It is so hard
to start out smoothly that it takes much of the fun out of driving
standard. It is just way to hard to coordinate throttle and clutch and
I've driving standard shift vehicles for 30 years including 5 years
driving OTR trucks. Hyundai really needs to do some work on this throttle.

Wouldn't it be easier to start doing 2000 RPM clutch drops? :-)

Seriously, I hope they do something too. It is even getting annoying on my
AT.

Well, about 20% of my starts end up that way, especially if I need to
move quickly and don't have time to futz with the throttle to launch at
around 1000-1200 as I prefer.

I'm not holding my breath. I haven't even received a survey from
Hyundai asking if I like the car. I got a survey asking about the
salesman, finance officer, dealership, etc., but not a peep about the
car. Seems odd for a company that is selling cars to not even ask about
the car. Maybe they don't want to know the answers.

Re: Santa Fe Accelerator
 

If it is what I think it is ,there is a tsb out for it. I had it done on my
Santa Fe and it helped alot. tsb #04-36-012 PCM reprogramming for
smoother feeling initial acceleration. My dealer did not know that the tsb
was out and and said the same thing until I printed out a copy of the tsb
and showed them. If you want I can email a copy of the tsb, It will be in
..pdf form.
