Gas pedal stops working, warning bells go off, speed drops

03/18/2026: This is the 2nd time the gas pedal became useless. Warning bells went off and it would go about 35 mph on the electric motor. I made another appointment with the dealership. when I drove it into service, it had been running alright, so they cancelled the appointment.

problem #1

Feb 102026

Santa Fe Hybrid Santa Fe Hybrid 1.6t 4-cyl Hybrid

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,910 miles

Gas pedal stops working, warning bells go off, speed drops

2/10/2026: Coming up the hill out of Durango, CO headed to Farmington, NM. Had the cruise control at 53 mps. When the speed limit increased, I tried to accelerate. Warning bells started and the gas pedal went completely useless!!

Eventually, after playing with everything I could think of, the bells stopped and the pedal started working. I took it to the dealer and they could find nothing wrong.

This is the first of three incidents!!
