Periodically losing brake pressure causing the break pedal to go down the floor with no breaking action. Need to pump the break in order to stop. Plenty of brake fluid.
I am getting a error - flashing blue lights saying ' hybrid system warning do not drive ' check brakes. The car will not drive, and the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor.
While driving down the interstate at 70 mph in the fast lane I received loud alarm "hybrid system warning! safely stop and do not drive. Also on the dash board was a yellow triangle with an asterisk. In addition the red brake warning light was illuminated. The car accelerator no longer responded but lucky I was able to get the car to the side of the highway. If traffic were heavier (which it normally is in my area) I could have been involved in a high-speed collision. Once I got to the side of the road and pressed the brakes, there was a very loud noise and vibration felt in the seats and brake pedal. The vehicle finally stopped, I turned it off, checked the brakes for leaks. I also checked the brake fluid level. Everything looked normal when I restarted the car, not alarm. Everything cleared up. This is dangerous. I have searched the web and found that many others are having this same problem. For now the car is sitting in my drive-way. We don't feel safe driving it and from what I read the fix is expensive. I have a video of the dashboard during the malfunction if needed. Thank you.

Yesterday, I noticed driving that 3 sensors came on in my car. The sensors were ABS, ecs, and low tire pressure. I called my dealership immediately and stated the problem the gentleman told me to come in Thursday July 25th 2019 and that it will be free of charge for a diagnostic. Thursday morning I awoke and travel 30 minutes away to the dealership. Upon 15 minutes from my departure a 4th light illuminated on my dashboard (eps) I begin to feel tension in my steering wheel. Once I arrived at the dealership I informed them that during my route here another light came on which turned out to be electric power steering. He informed me that it was a bad ABS speed sensor and that the cost of the repair would amount to roughly $600 R. we asked two of the employees if it was safe for us to even drive they both stated yes I departed from the dealership and once I merged onto the highway my heart dropped as I seen a new light illuminate on my dashboard and it just so happened to be my check engine light my steering wheel felt as if it locked up on me I went to press the brakes and the pedal went to the ground I was about 20 ft behind another vehicle if it wasn't for the shoulder I would have crashed not only were myself and my fianc's life at risk but my unborn child also and the innocent civilians in the vehicle in front of me that I would have rear ended at 60 miles per hour this has me very upset and anxious being I almost got in a serious accident 2 week before my expected due date. I feel this is very unsafe and no car should be doing this unexpectedly, with no accidents or damage to the car. I don't know what else to do.

My sockets constantly melt, the connector for my starter melted and my car would not start Hyundai wanted me to pay thousands to replace my wire harness when they are aware 2011-2014 have electrical issues, also my lights do not turn off I have to unhook my battery every time I get out of my car. My brake lights do not turn off while driving so nobody knows if im stopping or notand every Hyundai I see seems to have the same problem. I know it is a defect that they do not want to claim. I have had my engine replaced, also my brakes go bad extremely fast due to an issue with my axles that were mysteriously replace a month before I bought the car but they wont cover me because im a second owner.
