After driving my sante fe for little over 1000 miles, I was waiting behind several vehicles at a stop light in hyattsville and my vehicle shut off and wouldn't start. After trying to restart the vehicle for more than 15 minutes, it finally started. I drove to the next stop light and had to stop and the vehicle failed to restart. This happen two more times and then finally it started and I drove back to the dealership in gaithersburg (fitzgerald auto mall).
