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.

Took car to dealer, was told nothing they can do, bring it back when problem occurs (like that will happen and it is the driver's front door). I took it back this week and got a different guy on the desk, he came out to look at it, looks like the handle needs to be adjusted. Car is going in on Friday for repairs. Finally!!!!!!!!!!

Also I have moisture in my rear tail lens, also to be fixed.
