What owners wrote
I parked my car parallel to the curb on a city street. I moved the shifter from "drive" to "park". I did not turn off the engine because I was only going to get out for a few seconds to open the door behind me to let some senior citizens to get in the car. I released my seat belt buckle and proceed to open the driver-side car door. As soon as my feet were on the ground and my body was outside of the car, the car started to move in reverse direction.
Santa fe will stall from a stop when making a turn also will stall at a slow speed when you try to give it gas the date I put on this form is the last time it happened. This problem has happened before.
