## Narrative
2014 Hyundai Santa Fe are not safe vehicles as I have experienced many issues with this vehicle since purchase such as several recalls and recently the motor gave out. Due to recent class action lawsuit on this vehicle the dealer replaced the motor for free. My daughter recently reported to me the brakes appeared to not work properly and she planned to take it to the dealer on Monday, but over the weekend the brakes failed resulting in her crashing into a tree. My daughter could have been killed due to safety issues with this vehicle. The car is a total loss.  These vehicles are not safe and should be pulled off the road. The first dangerous issue was the vehicle stalling in traffic as the motor malfunctioned and now the brakes. Please advise.
