Engine Stall problems of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe

To whom it may concern, two weeks ago my 2013 Hyundai santafe sport turbo (which I purchased new in 2013) experienced an engine stall as I was driving on the freeway. I was able to coast to the side of the road and then experienced an engine fire that has caused extensive damage. The fire was extinguished as quickly as possible, but not before extensive damage had been caused. I had my car towed to my local auto shop and they have quoted the damage in excess of $2,000 and indicated that they believed the fire was due to a short in the electrical system. Upon doing some quick research on the internet, it seems that my experience is not uncommon. I see that an official investigation was opened in July 2018, yet there has not been a recall yet. If a recall had been issued, I would not have experienced this loss. Please let me know what course of action I should be taking. Thank you for your assistance.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe sport. While driving 20 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart. Also, the vehicle experienced a jerking motion and the check engine indicator illuminated periodically. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (major Hyundai 1534 n. 9th street, stroudsburg, PA 18360), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). The parts were not available. The manufacturer stated that the remedy was not available and could not provide a time frame. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

My neighbor sold me my car. So he usually will take it in for my oil changes to save me the trip. He picked my car up as usual and headed to the dealership, which is about 25 miles away. He called me less then a half hour later saying the car was broken down on the side of the road. I was livid. The vehicle was towed to circle Hyundai of shrewsbury NJ. They did not touch the car the afternoon it came in. That upset me even more. The next day I finally received a call in late afternoon that the engine suffered a "catastrophic failure:" my engine was seized. I was told my oil level was fine. My oil was clean. The could not explain the cause of what caused the failure. I was informed that a new engine would be installed. A long block. I have not heard from the dealer since. I have to say, I drive allot for my work. I also take at least two cross country trips a year. I don't trust this vehicle anymore. I feel I am entitled to a new vehicle at what my current load due amount is. How can I trust this car to get me to my job? I shoot weddings for a living. I am pretty sure a bride is not going to want to hear about my car engine seizing, that is why I missed her wedding ceremony. Hyundai should make this right!!!.

What I am about to describe happens randomly. The only discernible pattern is that it happens when accelerating from rest or from slow speed. It has happened about 15 times in the first 800 miles of driving. When I begin to accelerate slowly forward from rest or from a slow forward roll there is no response. It feels like the engine has stalled, but hasn't. Continuing to push down brings no result. After approximately a 2 to 5 second delay, the rpms begin to build up rapidly. The first two or three times it happened I suddenly surged forward in a very dangerous manner. The real problem, however, is that with following traffic expecting me to accelerate and continue to accelerate and I suddenly stop accelerating without having applied brakes, thus activating brake lights, there is a rear end collision waiting to happen. Here is an example from last night. I was rolling slowly in a left turn lane, foot off the gas, waiting for oncoming traffic to clear. It did and I begin the turn simultaneously pressing down on the pedal--no response. Let up and pressed down again--no response. I let up again, rpms came up, I pressed down again and proceed normally into a parking lot. I was perpendicular to 3 lanes of oncoming traffic and dead in the water for maybe 3 to 5 seconds. Essentially the same thing has happened while accelerating out of a u turn and also coming out of a slow right turn. It happened while accelerating slowly through an opening security gate. I have left the car with the dealer overnight so they could drive it and hook it up to their error code machines. They could not observe the issue or diagnose the problem. Nonetheless, it is real and very dangerous. It has been a matter of pure luck that no one has been close behind me during any of these power losses. I hope this report is useful. I would be happy to talk to anyone who might want more information.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. Consumer states issues with hesitation and stalling when accelerating. The dealer informed the consumer the problem was caused by electronic fuel injection, which was common among several brands of automobiles and there was no fix for the problem. The hesitation at acceleration occurred at slow speeds while turning and the engine would momentarily stall.
