Description of the problem	While i was driving along at approximately 25 mph in my hyundai santafe the steering became very difficult and there was no throttle response. I stopped the vehicle completely in the middle of the boulevard street and put the vehicle in park and restarted the engine. I was very frightened during the incident that someone was going to run into the back of my car and that the vehicle would stop again before i got home. I refused to drive the vehicle again and followed my husband in another vehicle as he drove the faulty vehicle to the dealer the following day. The tech rep we spoke with at the dealer casually said the throttle positioning sensor was bad and if we wanted it repaired it would cost about $400. I couldn't believe they would let me leave the dealership with this malfunctioning part. The symptoms are the same as the general motors ignition switch problem. I looked it up online and this seems to be a common problem with the hyundai santafe. Where is the outrage? Where are the recalls? Is it going to take many deaths and 10 years to correct this problem like gm ignition switch problem? Does somebody have to die before this is taken seriously? Hyundai management refuses to discuss this problem. I sincerely hope i can appeal to your sensibility and force this korean company to address this dangerous problem.
