3 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2017

My 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe keeps randomly stalling out. This has happened at least a dozen times in the past year. This has happened while merging onto the freeway, while making turns onto busy streets during rush hour after being stopped at a light, making turns after decelerating, no particular pattern. There is also no warning whatsoever! when the engine stalls out, I lose my power steering, thus basically having minimal control of the vehicle. I took my car directly into the dealer after this happened twice in one day. I was told that they could not replicate the event. I was then told that they could try replacing the throttle body and that it may fix the problem, but they were not sure because they did find a problem. As I stated before, this has happened at least a dozen times in the past year. There is a problem. I do not feel safe driving my car many times because I do not know when it is going to stall.
