My brake lights are not going off when I take my foot off of the brake pedal. I have had to start disconnecting the battery cable so it will not drain the battery. I stop lamp switch replaced when it was recalled. And the steering wheel tilt does not stay in the high spot it falls to the lowest position.

Car power goes out for a few seconds while driving. Happened several times such as when turning lights on or signal and all lights on dash go out. Car has also lost power when putting it into reverse and had to restart it. Its an automatic so shouldn't be happening. Also auto locks aren't at times. Hyundai has already replaced the radio and locks thinking this was the fix and clearly its not.
