Description of the problem	Just got out of a shopping center and onto mira mesa blvd, san diego. Car stalled! I was going @ 30 miles/hour or so. Total miles on the car when this happened were 5177 miles. When it stalls, it behaves as if key is moved to on position but car has not been started. This is the 4th time car has stalled since i bought new in august (yes, in 5 months and within @ 5,000 miles). Prior two times were just a before christmas on 12/23/2012 (on the same day, @ 1 minute apart). At this time i was going slow speed @ 25 miles/hour on a windy down hill road. Fortunately, there were no fast moving cars behind me in all 4 cases. I am afraid that someone may hit me from behind when car stalls like this. Car has been to dealer twice for the same issue. They seems to have no clue. Last time i went, just after christmas, that changed throttle body. I was hopping that it will fix the issue but i am not that lucky as it came back in just 3 weeks! I have opened a case with hyundai already right after the first incident, will have to follow up with them again.

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.
