 Description of the problemExited i95 going 60mph and as i slowed down for the ramp the steering wheel went loose. As i climbed up the ramp the car wouldn't accelerate and finally stopped 40 yards after the steering wheel went loose. I had no control over the speed after the steering wheel went loose since i could not accelerate. I learned the engine just stopped working. Based on what i've read this has happened to others with sante fes on the highway so i was lucky i had just gotten off the highway. I had it towed to hyundai who advised they had never seen this before and this was a 'unique' case and i should 'feel special'. No car should just stop unless the driver chooses to stop. After almost 3 weeks i got my car back (5/11/15). They had replaced the computer that runs the engine ('box assy- eng modu' & 'electronic contro'). My vehicle was purchased new in nov 2014 and this event happened in april 2015.
