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.
The low beams do not light high enough. Reduced visibility. All dealer could do was aim the lamps higher. Not tried different bulbs, but prior complainant did to no help.
When driving at night on Southern Maryland country roads, I have very poor visibility on low beams. My wife has a 2010 Santa Fe and her low beams are almost twice as bright! I took it to my Hyundai dealer and they said it was within specifications. I replaced low beam halogen bulbs with (brighter bulb) Eiko H11B's, with no improvements. I have to drive on high beams on country roads, so I don't hit another deer!!
