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.
omg on a trip away for a long weekend at my home on the white stone bridge, smoke was coming out of steering wheel. panic set in and I was ready to leap from car, put on 4 way flashers which seemed to help problem for short term. when turned off, smoke started again. got home and took out fuse and here I am today with no directional.
