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.
While driving on highway, on beautiful winter late morning, heard extremely loud explosion. Upon inspection of vehicle found that my sunroof had exploded. This definitely was from inside to outwards, Remaining glass was pointing to the sky. Very frightening, and also extremely dangerous. Fortunately I had the sun shade closed which possibly saved me from serious injury. Is in dealer and manufacturer's hands on whether they will cover the cost of repair. Never have I experienced anything like this while driving.
