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.
These tires do not handle highway roads to an acceptable degree of safety - two tires (rear) blew out on HWY 95 S outside Baltimore that nearly caused an accident. The dealer would not assist with tire replacement. The other two tires showed signs of excessive wear indicating a wheel alignment was needed , 21,500, yet the wheel alignment was fine. Since these are items that wear over time, the dealer would not assist with the cost to replace.
The vehicle now has superior tires (Cooper) - little to no road noise, excellent handling, especially during wet road conditions, and a better ride. We were not aware of the dramatic difference in the operation of the vehicle just by changing to better tires, which are less $'s than the stock Bridgestone tires.
