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.

I am not dissatisfied with the vehicle,but this problem is becoming more and more frequent. This is the fifth time it has happened. In contacting the dealership I purchased it from they (the service manager) tell me that this is part of a theft control system which doesn't make any since at all. This is my wifes car that she uses for work and I have had to go get her twice. I am only asking to have this problem fixed,or if there is something I I can do to fix it.
