As I am driving my 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe down the highway at normal speed limit of 55 my engine stalls with no warning sign. . Very dangerous luckily I wasn't hit. . This is the third time this has happened the first time the car went to the shop and they said it was just the battery and nobody can figure out what's going on. . Snap the picture after everything happened then I get a light. Thank god me and my kids wasn't hit or killed.
Engine stall during stationary cranking and driving on city streets after shaking noise heard. Related to recall 49.
Engine stalls while driving on freeway - the temperature outdoors has to be cool and damp. Safety risk for kids and myself to have engine stall. Lights go out and cruise if on kicks off. Engine will restart itself, but after it happens - engine light stays on unless I accelerate. The engine stalling has happened for the past 4 years, but no one can find the issue.
On Monday, July 14, 2014, my wife rode her Santa Fe on a straight road accelerating slightly uphill when the engine stalled. On thurs. Dec. 5, 2013, I had a similar experience, which I reported to you at the time. This is the second time this has happened with this car. Again nobody touched the ignition key which has nothing hanging on it except the alarm and door lock dongle. My wife also suddenly lost power steering and power brakes, and luckily there was no other traffic, which could have caused an accident. She was able to bring the car to a safe stop and then was able to restart the engine and continue her trip. The 2010 car had a full tank of gas and has about 50000 miles on the odometer. It's awd and has a 6 cyl. Engine. Could this be related to the ignition switch problem that has plagued so many gm cars? needless to say we are worried driving the car because if this incident occurs at high speed, a serious accident could be the result. Do you know of any similar experience? what do you advise? albert nilles.
I have had the engine stallment issue with my 2010 Santa Fe limited since I bought this car new in 2010. My last 4 incidents have been reported to the dealer. They have not been able to duplicate the issue nor find any codes for it. They have performed the following fixes on my car in 4 separate attempts with no luck: - replace throttle body (2013) - replace main power cable - replace computer's main board - update software this is an extremely dangerous issue. Last time it happened I was driving my car on a downhill ramp to enter the freeway when the engine stalled. I can still hear the concrete truck's brake sound in my ears when it desperately managed to stop and avoid collision. I don't feel safe to drive this car anymore. I have also lost my confidence in the dealer's ability to permanently fix this issue.
