My wife and I have had the same intermittent problem since acquiring our 2017 Santa Fe brand new in the late spring of 2016. When turning from a stop or making a very low speed turn, and then starting to accelerate, the vehicle will stall and hesitate, not moving or "catching" for 1-2 seconds. This has happened to us approximately 6-8 times. And I've nearly been rear-ended on several of those occasions because I was stalled in front of traffic behind me, also trying to make the turn. Once I barely cleared the intersection at a light when turning left, having the Santa Fe stall in the face of oncoming traffic. I was nearly broadsided by swift moving, oncoming traffic. Someone is going to be killed if this problem is not fully addressed as soon as possible. The public needs protection and a remedy. I can't imagine Hyundai is unaware of this problem. I did a quick google search on the topic, and found many, many postings regarding this exact same set of circumstances. There were Hyundai message board complaints, NHTSA complaints, "lemon" law firms whoa are advertising, seeking potential 2017 Santa Fe owning clients, citing this exact set of facts. It's difficult to confirm exact dates, as this has occurred multiple times. The most recent time it happened was in early May 2017, at an intersection less than a mile from our home, making a left turn from a stop, with traffic lined up behind us.

Car hesitates to accelerate from a complete stop, accelerating while coming out of turn, or slowing down and accelerating again. Also seems to be using a lot of gas. Haven't calculated it yet but can see the fuel gauge lower as I'm driving. Car only has 17000 miles.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle hesitated before accelerating. The failure occurred without warning. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer recommended that a fuel additive be added to the fuel tank, but that did not help. The failure recurred several times. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.
