| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: To whom it may concern: we are writing to you concerning a safety problem with our hyundai santa fe suv that we purchased in september 2005. we have returned to the dealership on several occasions as well as contacted the hyundai corporate usa headquarters, but to no avail. the problem relates to the gas pedal and its acceleration. when the car is at a stop and you apply your foot to the gas pedal, it hesitates and then lurches forward. this in itself is dangerous enough, but if the roads are wet or snow covered, the car tends to slip and skid. by way of explanation, the dealer claims this delay in acceleration is due to the fly-by wire acceleration system. interestingly enough, the dealership and the head quarters acknowledge the problem, but state that it is merely a function of the vehicle and there is nothing that can be done. we would like to see this problem corrected before a serious accident occurs and would appreciate any assistance that you could provide. thanking you in advance for your concern and help. sincerely, bruce and lynne blatt. *jb *nm |
