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.
Warranty just fixed oxygen sensor problem. Week later the fuel injector flapper (what us old mechanics called the butterfly) is bad, now they want 900.00 to fix it. Bull rott.... Did not happen until they messed with my vehicle. Its made right here in Alabama but can't get it fixed under the extended warranty which should be covered up to 100k mileage. The dealership I bought it from in SD says it should be covered as well and several of the people whom work at the Hyundia plant says too it should be covered.
