Description of the problem	This is my latest issue with my 2012 santa fe (the previous being a bad transfer case which made it sputter, a bad 4wd coupling assembly which made it clunk while turning & a bad transmission range shaft which caused it to not start occasionally)... It now just turns off while driving. Happened twice in the past few weeks. The first time, 2/5/14, i was turning across 2 lanes of cross traffic around 20 mph and it just turned off and drifted! At first i didn't even realize what happened... Thank goodness i wasn't hit by oncoming traffic! On 2/22/14 it happened again as we were driving down a hill coming to a stop! Fortunately the brakes still worked but again it just turned off with no warning... Both times there was sufficient gas in the vehicle and it started right back up. It is going to the shop this week, but i really feel like i got a lemon of a vehicle! I owned 3 other hyundais previously and never any problem and now it is constant!!! I don't want this vehicle as i do not feel safe in it at all but the dealership says that there's no way to get out of this lease!
