CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe apparently has a problem with the engine stalling while driving.
In a 2-page letter to Santa Fe owners from August 2014, Hyundai claims the engine stalling only occurs under a "specific set of operating conditions".
However a class action lawsuit filed around the same time details multiple claims from Sante Fe owners that claim the engine stalling happens at any time, under any conditions.
Although the model year range in the lawsuit is 2010-2012, the stalling complaint trend hasn't shown up in our data for the 2010 model year. Both the 2011 & 2012 Santa Fe model years DO show a significant defect trend of the engine stalling.
Currently we're not rating the 2010 Santa Fe as "bad" or "poor". Just be aware of this potentially serious problem.
We noticed our paint bubbling up last year .We didnt know this was such a big issue until i started reading other post on line .Our santa fe is garage keep too but it doesnt seem to matter .I'll never by another hyundai unless they make it right.
The paint start peeling during the 2016 summer under the sun. The dealer told me that I have received rocks and the water goes under the paint and that makes it peel...The paint is not supposed to stick to the primer?!!!!!
To fix it they had to remove the primer so the paint can be ok.
My 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe White Pearl Paint started peeling 3 years ago and has accelerated rapidly in the past few months. I have 2 large spots on the hood getting bigger every day, lifting on the door handles several spots on the side panels and now a very large patch over the windshield.
Would welcome any/all of the following:
• Input on how I can stop each patch from getting worse at minimal cost
• Links to current class action suit or suits (nationally or in FL)
• Input on getting Hyundai to pay for fixing the finish!?!!
