| This incident occurred at night time. about 10 min from a cold start, i turned onto the 210 fwy. there was a 270 degree downhill turn (a steep curve) so i had the brakes on while doing 15 mph. half way into the turn, i suddenly lost brake and steering wheel froze. with some effort, i managed to turn the steering and stop the car. the engine died without warning. later i sent the car to dealership but they could not reproduce the event. | |||

| Recently while driving the car seems to hesitate then has a minor acceleration. it seems as if its about to stall but catches and accelerate or increases to original speed. this is concerning especially when it occurs during rush hour traffic. in addition, i had to replace the battery at 24, 348 miles as the car killed on me twice while traveling. i purchased a battery from o'rielly auto parts as it was closer to my home. the dealer would only state that battery failure has occured with less than 30,000 miles on the sante fe however since i didn't bring my car to them the battery is not covered under warranty. it is unbelievable that battery life is this short. | |||
