I was driving and my car started beeping and the wheel jerked to the left and my car slowed down from 65mph to 20mph and almost caused me to have an accident. After I replaced the breaking module, my battery started shorting out and my car once again jerked off to the side and then slowed down abruptly from 65 mph to 20mph.

Sometimes when you are driving, the steering wheel will jerk in either about 2 inches. It is not enough to force you into the other lane but enough to scare you. When you try to correct it, the steering wheel seems to be hard to turn like it is locked. If I turn the wheel back the other way the attempt to steer normally, the wheel is loose and normal. Speed is not a factor as this has happened at various speeds from 35 to 70 ph. I asked the dealer about this and they "test drive it but could not replicate it". I was told they could keep it for a week and let someone drive it around and they would try to figure it out. In the meantime, I would be without a car. Also, there is an electrical buzzing noise coming out from under my dashboard behind the speedometer. I have actually called a couple different dealers and let them listen to it but no one knows what it is. My local dealer want s to again keep my car for a week to investigate. I took it to them while it was making the noise and the computer said nothing was wrong. This seems to be related to the climate control system according to my experimentation with the noise and changing the settings on the climate control. Both issues have been reported to my dealer since about 4 months after I bought the car. When I asked the dealer for documentation, no one actually put my complaints in the system.

I have had my alternator and battery replaced within the last month and my car is cutting off while I'm driving it. The lights on the dashboard come on the radio powers off and the wheel starts jerking back and forth and it cuts off or begins to cut off and corrects itself. I was driving in the city during these incidents and the car was either turning or pulling off. Once on the highway it cut off while in motion.

I noticed a previous recall but when I told key hyundai about the problem, I was told my VIN number was covered by the recall
