Description of the problem	Vehicle stalled as turning into driveway of shopping complex. The steering wheel froze as i was trying to turn left. In the dashboard, no lights on except "malfunction indicator" light was lit. Restarted car and drove on, the "malfunction light" got turned off, came home and then called dealer. Drove to dealer but they could not diagnose the issue since the light was not on and so no code can be found. Car is less than 3 months old and not even 3000 miles on the car. I feel this car is not safe unless hyundai takes care of the problem. Not diagnosing and addressing the issue makes me concerned. If car stalls while driving then that is very dangerous as it can cause an accident such as car hitting from behind. I am very much concern with such a problem for car as new as mine.
