CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 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 to owners in 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.
It's really disappointing to be left on the side of the road. I'm tired of replacing the battery often. I've replaced alternator and battery, and am getting a little tired of spending money on the same thing. Hyundai needs to figure out what is going on.
Car won't start on winter days despite having remote start. Service department manger claims starter must be frozen, then tells me to drop the car off so they could take a look at it. How did he think I was going to get it there? Push it?
