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.

2012 Hyundai Santa Fe Owner Comments

problem #1

Nov 012013

Santa Fe Limited 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

Adding or deleting phone numbers/ agency personnel know little or nothing! Each refers me to someone else. My 2012 Owner's Manual does not seem to show my unit or how to operate it.

Same is true for managing the station selection.

What is the point of having a system if minimal questions achieve nothing!
