What would cause a 2004 hyundai santa fe suddenly fall into limp mode?
It has a failure in the engine or transmission, this was sensed by the control computers and to avoid any further damage it put you in the low power limp mode. You need to have the system control modules scanned for fault codes to see what went wrong.

I assume your vehicle is 3.5 V6?... What you describe is 'LIMP HOME' mode of the Electronic Throttle System. Have it PROPERLY diagnosed by a qualified Hyundai Technician.... ONLY SOLUTION ( NOT JUST THE BEST SOLUTION).

''check engine light'' illuminated, 1004 Hyundai, Santa Fe
If you live in the US, take it to qany Auto Zone store and thy will read the codes off for you, I would suspect any right thinking competitor would do the same, check if you don't have one near by.

Hope this is of some help.
