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.
Car ran fine, no issues at all prior to the fire. Came home parked car. 4 hours later car was on fire - car was totaled by insurance company. Not only was car totaled, the fire also damaged my house. Fire department stated that the fire started in the wiring in the front passenger side.
