Description of the problem	This incident has happened 3 times so far. While driving i start to reduce speed. The speed gets down to about 20-25 mph and the vehicle completely loses all power. It just shuts down in the middle of driving. There is no power steering or anything. I turn the ignition to start the car again and it starts no problem. I may not have the problem again for another month or so. This is a very dangerous and scary situation. I pray to god that it doesn't happen while i'm traveling down the highway. I asked hyundai about it and they didn't seem to be too concerned. They said there weren't any recalls but i could bring it in to get checked out.
