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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Kumho solus KL21 tires size 235/65 R17 showing sidewall cracking at 23,000 miles. I have properly maintained (rotated, inflated, balanced, alignment) the tires. All 4 are showing sidewall cracking. I have 2 other cars that have been exposed to the same conditions with tires that are at least 2 years older that are not showing sidewall cracking. Concerned about potential blow-out at high speed.
2012 Hyundai sante fe. Consumer writes in regards to problems with tires on vehicle. The consumer stated while driving, the right front and the right rear tire blew out, within 1/4 mile of each other. Controlling the SUV became difficult, but she managed to pull over safely on two mangled, dead flat, shredded tires. The roadway she was traveling was clear of debris, potholes, etc. The SUV was damaged and the two tires were un-salvageable. Updated 05/07/14 updated 05/20/14
