| Description of the problem | Engine stalled (died) when attempting to cross 3 lanes of traffic. This occurred 2 times when on vacation. Vehicle was returned to dealer for service. Dealer had vehicle for over a month and said they couldn't duplicate problem. During this time there was a national recall issued by hyundai for santa fe. I thought are problems would be solved. But was informed that the recall only covered upto production year 2015. We received a 2017 santa fe loaner for use during the time they assessed our vehicle, this vehicle also stalled. I reported this to the service mar. He said he couldn't do anything until hyundai authorized a recall for 2017. I told him that they probably won't until they sold off all their new vehicle inventory. We took our vehicle home. 1 day later the vehicle stalled when my wife pulled out on to a busy highway. These vehicles are a significant safety hazard. *js |
