I was driving in town at a slow rate when my braking feel like there was born ABS and my car was getting to close and I applied pressure on the pedal but it wouldn't stop. My steering wheel became very stiff and couldn't turn it. An hour later, I was driving on the interstate when my ABS, traction control light and stability light came on. My car would not turn well and I was in the middle of passing a vehicle. I had no brakes at that point. This happened April 20, 2019. Clear road conditions. My Escape is becoming a big safety concern. When braking I feel my system keeps slipping in the front end and a sagging in the rear. When I drive it, I am terrified that this will happen again and won't be able to stop. Turning feelings rigid and stiff at times. A car had pulled out in front of me and had to do a hard stop on the interstate. I pressed on the brakes but the system would not stop and steering wouldn't allow to turn. I had to turn a harsh right to avoid causing an accident while attempting to drive off to the side of the road. This has happened since the 1st day I purchased this vehicle 26 May 2016 from glenbrook Hyundai in fort wayne, in.

While braking there is a vibration and engine stalls. The dealer claims they can not replicate and wants me to reschedule to bring it N again a week later. This happens every I stop or slow down in a right turn. I get the vibration and engine stalls. I have takes else where to check if there is something stuck in the brake but nothing found they do replicate problem but don't know what it is. I can not drive until this is fixed as it is a safety issue if the vehicle stalls. Dealer is no help maybe manufacture or someone else this has happened too can assist.
