this truck has repeatedly gone in for service over 6 times for multiple issues. The worst issue which they cannot fix is the vehicle going into limp mode while driving. Loosing all acceleration then racing on its own. This is a very dangerous problem when on the highway.hyundai service keeps telling me that the diagnostic is not showing a problem. This can be caused due to many things including transmission electrical or computer problems. I have reported to the office of consumer affairs and they claim hyundai dealership in myrtle beach has not responded to them. meanwhile i am driving in a very scary situation not knowing when this will occur. This happens at random times with no warning. This has happened at least 10 times in the last few months.

The cruise control uses a camera, the is supposed to watch your eyes, to make sure you are watching the road. Unfortunately, if you are wearing glasses ( which I must when I am driving ) the light reflecting off them makes the unit think I am not watching the road. For backround, I was a highway patrol offiger for 30 years. I am very attentive to the road ahead of me. It seems Hyundai knows of this problem, which suddenly disengages the cruise control, causing rapid deceleration of the vehicle. At highway speed, this is very dangerous. It has been noted on many forums, and my dealer knows about the problem, but there is no way to disconnect the camera from the system. This is really an accident waiting to happen.

While I was driving, my new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe suddenly experienced issues with the digital dashboard panel and a loss of speed. The dashboard went haywire, and my speed dropped from 60 mph to approximately 25 mph on the highway. The vehicle also struggled to accelerate from a standstill. After shutting off the vehicle and waiting a few minutes, the dashboard appeared to reset, and everything returned to normal. I immediately returned the vehicle to the dealer, but they could not find any issues as no codes were displayed. The abrupt decrease in speed while driving is a significant concern, as it could have resulted in a rear-end collision on the highway.
