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.
The car stalls and completely loses power. We just hit the 62K mile mark. When it loses power even the brakes do not work. When you stop at a stop light or stop sign the car jerks. The exhaust is smoking badly. This has happened on more than one occasion and with more than one driver.
The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving 25 mph, the engine failed on more than one occasion. The warning light for the engine remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 12,000. Updated 02/10/16
On two separate occasions while driving on the highway, call lost power and would not operate in a normal fashion. RPM gauge was highly erratic and pushing the accelerator to the floor did not result in increased speed. The first time I took it in, they said nothing was wrong with it. The 2nd time I had to have it towed, as it would no longer start. That time they told me it was a catastrophic engine failure caused by a spark plug.
