CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe has a problem with the engine stalling while driving. Both our data & the NHTSA's complaint data show a significant defect trend at low mileage.

In a 2-page letter sent August 2014 to Santa Fe owners, 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.

Santa Fe 4-cyl

  • 31,345 miles
I was showing my new/used 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe to some friends when we heard a pop and the rear windshield shattered. No one else was around the vehicle and where it was parked there was no where someone could have shot the window with a pellet gun or something like that. Earlier in the morning I had the rear window defogger on to clear light fog off the rear windshield. It was only on for approximately 5 minutes until I shut it off while driving.
