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.

Santa Fe SE AWD 3.5L V6

The AC is slow and weak. The mechanic says that is due to the design and they can do nothing about it. If you enjoy driving a Santa Fe with sweating as wet as swimming, go for it.
