CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe apparently has a problem with the engine stalling while driving.
In a 2-page letter to Santa Fe owners from 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.
Although the model year range in the lawsuit is 2010-2012, the stalling complaint trend hasn't shown up in our data for the 2010 model year. Both the 2011 & 2012 Santa Fe model years DO show a significant defect trend of the engine stalling.
Currently we're not rating the 2010 Santa Fe as "bad" or "poor". Just be aware of this potentially serious problem.
Never noticed the back right passenger door never locked and probably hasn't locked since day one. It wasn't until later when I seen that it hadn't locked after I pushed the electric lock button. Checked a couple of times and it never would lock. I can physically lock the door, but destroys the purpose of automatic locking doors.
Just waiting for the day I forget to lock it and all my stuff gets stolen or someone jumps in the car with me at a red light because it didn't automatically lock while I was driving down the road.
