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.

At first start up every morning for 1 to 3 seconds the engine sounds like there is not a drop of oil in the top end after that the engine is quiet and runs perfect. The next morning it starts again. There is oil as my Hyundai dealer changed it.
Can anyone help me with the fix?
