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 took the vehicle into the garage while I was on holidays down south and they inspected all the brakes and struts and could find nothing wrong. They suggested the transmission control module and/of the speed control module as they had had numerous similar complaints.

Replaced the engine last year, now the transmission is gone. My pockets are empty. I still make payments. How do I get out of this?
