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.
Here is the notice for the issue. The car can not be driven because as soon as the car warms up the pressure pushes the oil out. In 5 minutes I lost about 500ml of oil. It cost $650 CD to fix. It is a known problem as a google search turns up an issue with this quickly.
