I have the same complaint as many santa fe owners. Problems of acceleration at 40, along with shifting issues. On several trips to the dealer, leaving the car there for sometimes 7-15 days at a time. It has had 4 throttle position sensors, an alternator and 2 batteries. My mileage is 100,386 and the vehicle needs 3000.00 worth of transmission work. Hyundai simply states my vehicle is out of warranty and these issues…

Dt: 2001 hyundai santa fe has automatic/standard transmission which would downshift on its own. The consumer first noticed this problem when getting onto the highway and the vehicle wouldn't shift out of third gear. When consumer exited the highway he noticed he only had second and third gears. He shut the vehicle off and restarted it and the vehicle operated normally. *ak
