Description of the problem	First time the incident happened i was driving about 20 mph, and as i made a left turn the car died completely. No control of steering and had to brake very hard to get the car to stop. Put it in park and car started right up again. Luckily no other cars were around me. It happened again about 1 month later after making a left turn again. Took the car to the hyundai service dealer and he replaced the throttle body and cleaned all the grounds. The car ran great for about 6 months and about 3 months ago i was driving on a freeway off ramp going about 25 mph and the car completely died again. I put the car in neutral and turned ignition on and it started right up. One more incident occurred, 2 weeks ago, while slowing to a stop sign the car died again. I even changed to a higher grade gas. But i am still having the same problem. I feel unsafe and insecure driving this vehicle. I don't think hyundai can figure out how to solve this problem with these santa fe's. We will be taking the car back to the hyundai service center again next week.
