| Description of the problem | On november 14, 2017, i began hearing some knocking noise. About 15 minutes later, while driving on the highway, the santa fe sport stalled with no warning. I was in heavy traffic and it was a very dangerous situation, where people were honking and having to go around me. I was so scared. I was able to restart the car and decided to return home instead of going to my original destination. Ten minutes later, in heavy traffic, the same thing happened, the santa fe sport stopped without warning. I was able to restart the car and get home. I never received any recall information in the mail. I later learned that it is hyundai recall 162. The santa fe has about 54,000 miles on it. |
