Car was driven about 10 miles and then parked inside an attached garage. No issues were present during the drive. The ignition was turned off and key removed from vehicle. After approximately 1 hour had passed the car started on fire. Flames were visible behind the front right headlight and front right wheel. Luckily no one was harmed. The fire caused significant damage to the garage and home. Fire department investigation concluded that the cause of the fire was not external to the vehicle.

Several months ago the fan in engine continued running after vehicle was turned off. Ran battery down. We could hear the fan running but had no idea how to stop it. No problems until yesterday when the same thing happened. Only difference was we could not hear the fan running until we popped the hood to jump start the car.

On Saturday 6/3/17 I was driving home from a baby shower when I heard a metal sounding noise towards the front of my car after hitting a bump. The noise only happened once and when I pulled in the driveway and turned my car off it sounded like metal parts falling out under my car but when I crawled under my car nothing looked abnormal, so I got back in the car to start it and it would not start. Monday 6/5/17 I had my car towed to kelley radiator to be looked at, after them checking everything they told me my engine is seized. The owner of kelley radiator cannot figure out why my engine seized, he has checked everything such as fluids to mechanical parts and everything checks out good. I did some research and found engine failure is a common problem with certain Hyundai cars. I have contacted Hyundai but no response. I have had this car for 2 years, faithfully getting oil changes and I still owe $12,366.67 on this car. I cannot afford a new engine without applying for a loan and really cannot afford a lawyer so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated

While driving the motor locked up with no warning. No oil left in the pan but no lights came on.

- Wellsville, OH, USA

On 3 separate occasions my vehicle would rev up the RPM's and then slow way down and vehicle paused for about 5-10 seconds then reengaged. Also, the engine seems accelerates and slows down on its own, doesn't feel like taking fuel at times. My complaint sounds similar to NHTSA id# 10744564, however, my vehicle did not make a loud sound from underneath. I have had my 60000 mi service completed and issue presented afterwards. Luckily, these 3 incidents happened on low volume traffic streets. I have had service after at different Hyundai dealers without explanation.

I was stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake, when the engine suddenly revved very quickly and lurched forward towards the car in front of me. I turned the engine off and the car stopped. Fortunately there was enough room between my car and the one in front of me that I didn't hit it. When I restarted it, it worked fine.

We own a 2011 hynudai Santa Fe and had an incident last night pulling into a parking spot, which appears to be something others have experienced: Sua sudden unintended acceleration. I was pulling into the parking space with my foot on the brake and the motor just started racing full throttle for no apparent reason. I mashed on the brake and felt it fade out under the force of the increased motor RPM. I quickly shifted into neutral and the engine continued to race but I had my foot completely removed from the brake or accelerator pedals. I then shut the engine off. My wife and I were shaken but uninjured. After completing our reason for the stop, the vehicle started normally and we returned home with no further incident. But our confidence in the vehicle has gone to zero. This was the first and only time this has occurred so far on this vehicle.

- Elmwood Park, IL, USA

Driving on interstate 1 hour East of asheville, nc in heavy traffic. At approximately 230 pm on 8/20/2014 the check engine light came on, the car shuddered and lost all acceleration. Complete loss of power managed to coast to the side of the road and turned car off. Restarted and drove to Hyundai dealership in asheville, nc about 30 miles away. They performed a software update and stated problem was resolved. Continued driving on highway (traveling back to dayton oh), and within 1 hour check engine light came on, at about 700 pm, a complete loss of power and no acceleration, and had to coast to the side of the road, restart the engine, etc. Again, incredibly dangerous situation on a busy interstate. The same exact situation happened 2 more times on our way home on the interstate, until we could finally take it to our dealer where they replaced the throttle control assembly and did another software update. This was incredibly dangerous, could easily have resulted in a very bad accident and merits investigation. Please contact me if I can provide additional information. Thank you for your consideration.

Engine shuts off after taking foot off gas, slowing down and then applying gas to accelerate. After a short pause aproximately 15 to 20 seconds, the engine will restart and resume normal operation. No check engine light appears. The engine has three times in the last 14 months. Car was brough to dealer after first time and no codes or issues could be found. I will bring car back to dealer now after the third time. This is last stall resulted in a close call in heavy traffic.

While driving the engine died suddenly, I was able to restart the engine. This has happened multiple times and is very dangerous for a rear end collision, I have taken the car to Hyundai dealerships but they are unable to duplicate the problem and say that they can't find anything wrong with the vehicle. I have notified Hyundai of the problem and they just tell me to take it to a different dealership. I have researched this issue on the internet and there seems to be many Hyundai owners having the same issue with the same year and make of vehicle. There doesn't seem to be a fix for this problem that Hyundai is aware of. Please help! thank you

2011 Hyundai Santa Fe. Consumer writes in regards to while driving vehicle engine shut off and car died. The consumer stated when he slowed down to go around a curve, the vehicle shut off. He could barely get the vehicle to the side of the roadway, because there was no power steering or power brakes. Tech support, recommended replacing the throttle body, since the dealer could not find a problem. However, on March 1, 2014, while driving in a parking lot at 10 mph, the engine shut off again. The power steering and brakes were not operable. He let the vehicle sit for several minutes before re-starting it. The consumer returned to the dealer, and after a thorough examination, they were unable to duplicate the problem.
