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.
I notice the engine lagging about 2 weeks after I purchased my car which was September 6, 2016. So today I decided to check the recalls to see if somebody has had the same problem, only to see that there is a problem.
When backing out of my driveway, and shifting from Reverse to Drive, the fuel/engine seems to lag, as if fuel starved for a split second, and seems to want to stall.
