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.

I'd appreciate a copy as well if you don't mind sending it along.

Re: Santa Fe Accelerator
TSB 04-26-012 applies to most 2004 Santa Fes with the 3.5 engine. It
doesn't apply to any other year, model, or engine. Not only is the TSB
vague in terms of what the reprogram does exactly, but I've even had
discussions with technical assistance about this TSB and they seemed
equally unable to explain it to me.

Makes me wonder if the dealer didn't do some paperwork required. I received
survey's from both the dealer and Hyundai within 90 days of purchasing my
car, plus a call from my salesman at 60 days asking if everything was OK
with it.
