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.
Being stranded is no fun. When the battery died, the doors lock with the keys inside. We had to go 80 miles to the dealership with proof of ownership to have a key made. We have traced the draw to a fuse marked P/WDW RH 25A. It has a .8 amp draw. supposing that P/WDW RH stands for power windows right hand. The windows function with the fuse removed.
