| Description of the problem | While slowing down, applying brakes to exit the highway into the cloverleaf off ramp, steering became very difficult and i was forced to continue in the current direction off the road into the grass. Upon stopping noticed dash lights were on and the vehicle had stalled. I was very lucky that i was headed into a grassy area and not into a wall as i couldn't steer in any other direction from when i lost power. Hyundai found no error codes and couldn't replicate the problem. Please see the following links for pages of similar experiences with hyundai santa fe: 15 pages of related issues - http://www.
