Description of the problem	My santa fe limited awd 2008 was bought at the end of feb 2009 and now has ~44k mileage. I had two similar incidents with my santa fe today (7/6/2014), which led to significant power loss and speed loss of the car on the road. The first time, i was driving on a local road at ~45 mph. Suddenly i felt the car lost the power and began to slow down. I stepped down on the accelerator, but the car could not accelerate (the speed dropped to ~20 mph). I saw 3 system indicator/warning lights on: the esc off(electronic stability control) and check engine indicators had a steady light and the awd system warning light was flashing. I pulled off to the side of the road, shut off the car, waited ~1 minute, and then restarted the car. The check engine light stayed on, but the other lights went out. Then i drove the car to continue my grocery shopping (several stops, ~30 miles in total). The 2nd incident occurred on my way home. The same scenario except that i was driving at ~40 mph and going uphill at the time. The sudden power loss caused the car speed quickly dropped to ~10 mph and probably led the car behind mine to make a sudden stop to avoid a crash. Again, i pulled off to the side of the road, shut off the engine, and then restarted the car with the check engine light staying on. After got home safely, i did some search online and found several similar incidents reported on hyundai santa fe suvs before (see the attached links below). So i decided to report this serious issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
