Description of the problem	Please investigate the hyundai line of cars. I was driving this car that i owned. I had just driven 140 miles, and i was on city streets making my way to the inlaws. I stopped at a stop sign and as i accelerated and proceeded to make a right turn on to another city street, the engine completely died. I noticed it when my power steering locked up, i had no brakes and i was headed right toward a home's front door. I was able to stop the car when it hit the curb dead on. I then put the car in to park and turned the car back on and it fired up right away. I really believe that hyundai has the same problem as gm. There was nothing wrong with the car after that and i could not duplicate the incident. I traded the car in a few days later because i refuse to drive it. If you google the problem, i was able to trace it back at least 11 years. How can you trust a car that where the engine will just turn off sporadically. Dealership claims "they've never heard of such a thing..." lies. The know about it, they just haven't done anything about it. I seriously think there needs to be an investigation in to this vehicle. I saw stories of peoples hyundais dying on the freeway. They could have been killed. One lady said that she was told next time it happens to leave the car as is and they will tow it and check it out. They towed it after it died and nothing. That's what leads to me believe that in this vehicle, the key can also become disengaged while driving. Similar if not exactly to the problems with the gm. I beg of you to investigate!!!
