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.

A crack in the Rack and Pinion power steering. Leaking the power steering fluid. Only 84,000 KM (51,500 miles). $2200 CAN. ($1700 US). The dealer had the part in stock because this is a known issue.
