Description of the problem	Dashboard warning signs started blinking (wrench, battery, etc) while i was driving the car on a city 4-lane highway (route 1 in baltimore) at a speed of 30-50 mph. After starting and stopping my car, a sonata hybrid, several times, eventually i lost all power to the car such that the brakes and steering would not work. At this point i was only going ~10 mph. Luckily i was at the mall at this point and the car came to a stop on its own. The car would not start and the door locks and fob did not work. I then had it towed to the dealer. They replaced an electrical board of some type and then were able to drive it but also noted all of the dashboard alarms going off. Their current working diagnosis is that there is a problem with the connection to the electric battery causing high resistance. It is still under repair at the dealer. I am worried that this could happen again.
