The acceleration of the vehicle from a stop. Whether from a stop sign, stop light, even sometimes after slowing down after a turn. It hesitates while the gas pedal is still being applied. Causing the vehicle to slow and other vehicles are forced to brake. The engine does not rev and the tachometer does not move. There are no warnings lights or vehicle notifications. After several attempts to bring it to the dealership, they are never able to replicate the issue. The OBD scans show no issues. It has never been a constant problem, however it remains as a "hit or miss" issue. Could be days of no problems and then popping back up every stop.

Within the last few weeks my 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUV has been experiencing few noticeable issues. 1st my vehicle doesn’t want to start when I turn the key, I have to open the door close it then try again and it will turn over to start. 2nd recently driving on the highway my vehicle slowed all the way down and started jerking like it wanted to cut off. I would push my accelerator down as far as possible and it will still go slow and not speed up.3rd my vehicle is making a throttle/knocking noise and a blinking check engine light is on as well.

I noticed at roughly about 120,000 miles the vehicle started slowly consuming oil. Vehicle now consumes excessively at 1 quart of oil about every 800 to 1000 miles. Oil level needs to be checked daily for fear of further damage. I recently changed the oil on 3/12/23 and checked oil on 3/15/23 and vehicle was a half quart low.

The electric windows motor on the left back window was heating up it was making this unique sound every 2-4 min till I finally got tired of it and had someone find out what it was. We had to unplug the motor because It would of caught on fire while I was driving eventually

We have always had our 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T serviced at our local Hyundai dealership in St. Cloud MN. All required maintenance has been done. Our vehicle has 68400 miles on it. We left MN for our winter home in Apache Junction Az after Christmas. We experienced loss of power and the check engine light came on. We were in the higher elevations of AZ and experienced blizzard conditions during this loss of power we barely made it to our destination due to this lack of power. Our vehicle is at a Hyundai dealership in Apache Junction AZ for 9 days counting with no back up vehicle. The dealership called us and said our vehicle has experienced engine failure. Now waiting on Hyundai. Very disappointed!!!
