Problems with 2.4 GDI

  • I have bought a santa fe in 2013. I really like the model. It is a 2.4 gdi engine schalt getriebe.


    from the beginning i have the following problems. Dealer can not help me. when i want to drive away for example at traffic light engine easily stops. I must controle by kuppeling and gas pedal. kupplungs pedal is going very heavy.It is not comfortable when driving and have a lot of stops. Lenk sticks during warm weather, just like glue in your hands.


    who have idea's to solve this problems.
    Thanks.

  • Here in Holland the dealer is not really willing to solve the problems.
    Germany is a country for high technology for cars. I was also looking when i bought this hyundai to german cars but the tax in holland is so high it was too expensive. It surprise me a little that nobody can give my ideas how to solve the problems.
    Thanks.

  • I send my questions to this forum because i expect there are much more hyundai santa fe cars sold in germany then in holland. If you bought a new car from 48000 euro you expect that a car dealer take your remarks serious from customers.
    answers like above are typical car dealer answers, for them normal.
    If they dont believe me it is better dont use this forum anymore.

    I can unterstand, you're not happy with your new Santa Fe, as long as there's no solution found, fixing the problem you've mentioned!


    There are about 200 new Santa Fe's sold every month in Germany. But mostly those are Diesels.


    So, you should better contact your Dealer or otherwise take a video of your problem while driving and show it to him. You've got a 5 Years Warranty!

  • Hoi Gerry,


    Thanks for your response. I was going several times with my car back to the dealer. He also drive with it and he also saw that the engine was stops very easily when you drive away. We bought this car for pulling a hanger with horse. It is dangerous when you want to drive away and the car stops. Dealer suggest to have chiptuning the engine.
    In holland almost all santa fe's are diesel and automatic. That was afterwards my mistake that i choose for hand gear and gdi engine.
    Any way thanks for your response
