Description of the problem	My vehicle is a 2012 hyundai santa fe with 131,000 miles. I was driving on the highway traveling about 65 mph and lost power steering, power breaks, and speed control. My car began to slow and would not accelerate and was difficult to steer. Fortunately i had enough power/speed still to get over into the breakdown lane. I was able to use my directionals and hazard lights once on the side of the road. I shut off the car and attempted to start it again several times without success. The check engine light was on, as was the oil light and battery light. There was no discernible warning that would have indicated an impending engine failure. I had already driven 75 miles of my trip and it simply stopped running. In the middle of the highway! The cause of the problem is unknown to me and currently unknown to my mechanic. I had to have my car towed 50 miles to the mechanic. Getting it to a dealer would have been even father.
