Light for brakes, ABS, eco are on brakes was done
Any time I let my foot off the gas the car dashboard lights dim, the radio loses volume, and the headlights dim. This is all very noticable. Recently the car would sometimes feel as though the brakes had been stomped on. When this happens I get and ABS system failure alert on the dashboard and my check engine light turns on. A couple of times this happened it has completely shut off the engine. Because it turned off I didn't have power steering, so I had to pull over and restart my engine. This happens as I'm driving, I noticed it happens when it shifts down gears. Sometimes when I accelerate and the car shift gears up it can happen as well. I found a notice about a recall on these cars for the ABS module system issue. Recall #172.

Driving 2006 hyundai azetra on I-95 on feb 10, 2018 @10:30 pm all dash lights beginning with ABS brakes went ballistic and car began to buck like a bronco, then began to drive car 2 to 3 lanes on right lane to exit in deerfield at sw 10th st on an incline ramp in which brakes were failing and steering wheel not working to maneuver a turn. Had to forcefully turn steering wheel hard to right to avoid causing car to crash or harming others on road (which caused extreme discomfort on shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand today) and engine turned off which car coasted downhill and made first right turn coasted a few feet and car stopped. When car was enabled onto flat bed by tow co, noticed red fluid on ground which could be transmission or gasoline??? Everything happened so quickly; very scared for our lives. Didn't sleep well and uneasy today I also notified hyundai today @1‑800‑633‑5151 and gave a report in which a case worker will notify us in 3 to 5 business days, confirmation # 11007142
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 hyundai azera. While driving 35 MPH, the headlights malfunctioned and dimmed without warning. Also, the vehicle speed reduced independently on more than one occasion and the ABS failure indicator illuminated without warning. An independent mechanic replaced the alternator, but the failures recurred. Kennesaw hyundai in kennesaw, georgia was contacted about the series of failures and stated that the failures corrected themselves. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Car was traveling at approx. 18 MPH. I applied brakes to make a left turn. When I pressed on the brakes, the car accelerated, and the brakes began stiff and would not stop the car. The car ran into a closed overhead double garage door, continued thru the garage and hit the brick wall on the back of the garage. The airbags did not deploy. I sustained lacerations and bruises. The car was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. Hyundai had the car inspected by an independent third party, and no problems were noted. Hyundai has not shared the results of the investigation with us. We have since used our own third party to test the car and the ABS and ESC warning lights remain on indicating there is a problem with both systems.
Trip computer returns to 00 without touching reset button, door lock sometimes does not open with transmitter. Trunk sometimes does not open with transmitter or interior trunk release.. Radio cuts off intermittently. Instrument panel light flickers, and engine will stall for an instant. Back window screen goes up and down by itself. Air conditioner came on without my pushing button. Warning messages will appear for few seconds "check engine", "ABS failure", etc. Twice took car to hyundai service department. Told they cannot fix anything unless these events are happening when I bring in car. Aside from these fairly minor problems, the steering wheel locked or power steering failed while driving.. The service department did find an oil leak and replaced hose. Replaced fuel level sender and driver door module. But the electric problems continue.. I am worried that electric and steering problems will cause a serious accident.
