My car was almost completely out of oil even though I just bought it 4 months ago at carmax where they performed an oil change. My car stalled while getting off the freeway and started tapping. The first shop couldn't find anything wrong and now Hyundai is investigating.

While driving I turned the corner going roughly 7 mph and my car just completely stalled out. I was able to get it back started but drove it home and didn't want to risk taking it out on a major highway or street.

While under normal driving conditions, after operating for approx. 10 minutes, I was driving on a state route with traffic and the engine completely shut off. No warning, no dash warning lights, not stalling of engine, it simply shut off. Had to pull off side of road, thru traffic, and leave vehicle sitting until it could be towed.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe sport - had engine replaced due to recall end of June 2019. October 6th car stared bucking and unable to go more than 3-5 mph with pedal to floor. Car towed to Hyundai who after inspection said it was throttle body. Cost to repair was just about $900. Had to rent car in order to get to work. Picked up car on Monday night. Wednesday morning made it about 2 miles from house and car did exactly the same thing. Had it towed to Hyundai again!!! the provided a rental car this time. They reset code and checked that throttle body was properly installed and that all connections tight. Hyundai said they drove car for 60 miles and could not replicate problem. Prior to pick up I informed Hyundai service manager that I was not confident that they fixed problem. Picked up car Friday. It is now Monday morning (3 days later) and didn't even make it out of my development. Same problem!!! shame on Hyundai!!! I am fearful to drive this car even if they fix this problem. Don't trust that engine replacement was done correctly.

My car has been stalling every time I start it . It's been happening since April and I just bought it in September.

Short version- this car stalled in the middle of highway traffic and would not start again, creating a traffic hazard and required towing and Hyundai dealer said there was nothing wrong with it. Later it also caught on fire while moving in a parking lot. There was smoke inside the car and smoking coming out the front grill. It has several known factory manufacture known issues that are well documented nationwide to create engine fires, stalling, seized engines, just like ours. . Hyundai refuses to remedy. Hyundai also did a software update to prevent engine seizure on an already dead motor, that is not performing its safety features as designed and they will not remedy. They are charging us for the motor that is still defective, and a safety issue, and they will not fix their factory defect lemon car.

I own a 2013 Santa Fe and I have had several issues with it, the engine being replaced due to failing while driving on the highway, it was serviced with a few other items dealer found to be needed for some recalls. But none I can recall for sure was regarding the engine itself, will need to check service records. Then later it was the fuel pump(injector) need to verify specifics, but gas fumes and smoke coming from the engine and this was replaced, then later again had to take in again for repair due to service error of tubing being bent ect when installed, noticed the high amount of gas fumes and smoke from the engine and into the cabin. This was a few months ago, then Nov 9 2018 my car caught fire and was destroyed by flames. I had just seconds to pull the car over and put in park, grab my 6 year old son and get out before flames covered the entire engine then the entire car. I was in my neighborhood and pulled over on the side of the street. I would like to start an investigation regarding this matter, I fear I and my son could have died due to this known and neglected issue these Santa Fe's have been having. I have had the car serviced at the dealership so I will be able to supply the service reports and the case number for the williamson county sheriff report of the fire and other documents needed. My cell 512-635-4955 please leave a message if I miss your call and email instructions and or information needed to move forward.

I purchased my vehicle brand new and have had problems randomly with the vehicle stalling or turning off while at a light or going slow. I have to restart vehicle and when I do it's like it can not accelerate and it vibrates or is bumpy. I feel at danger never knowing when this can happen luckily I have not been smashed into yet thank god considering I have small children. I have brought this concern and have had my vehicle looked at by the Hyundai dealer and they say nothing is wrong. I am very upset with the problem and Hyundai not doing anything about it except offering me a free appraisal for a turn in:-( this is horrible customer service I will never buy a Hyundai again and will advise family, friends and coworkers of this problem.
