Description of the problem	My 2008 santa fe with 109,000 miles suddenly shut off on me when approaching a stop sign. The stop sign was on a slight turn and i never realized it until i had no power steering and saw all the lights lit on the dash. I put car in park and it restarted with no issues. Later that day i went to start the car and engine made a loud clunk sound and car shook for a second. I decided not to drive it that day. It has been 3 days since the first shut down and so far the car has been running like normal. Called hyundai and made note of my complaint but didn't seem to know about this issue or so maybe they are not at liberty to say if they have. They never gave me an answer except to take it to a dealer to see if they can diagnosis the problem. I see recall was put out for the 2010-2012 model years but not for older models.
