My headlights on left side (low beam)and right side (high beam) have each burned out three times. My high mounted brake light has been replaced at least five times as well as my left and right brake lights. Now both of my tag lights went out and a right tail light. Also brakes keep grinding even after I replaced pads and rotors and NTB National Tire is telling me it-??s in electrical braking system or calipers. My car had 94,000 miles on it and I-??ve never had any car have caliper problems with low mileage.

Engineers shuts off while driving. When speeds at or over 65 in fwy steering wheel becomes unstable wheels start veers off road, have to hold tight grip onto steering wheel. When braking at sudden stops when brake the car skids. Very scary situations. Concern for my safety and safety of my children.

I drive a lot due to commuting to and from work. Recently I have had to brake suddenly due to rapid change in flow of traffic. I had a near miss. I was 5 car lengths behind a vehicle in front of me when traffic came to a halt. I was travelling at 55mph. I had stepped on the brake as far down and hard as I could. My vehicle wouldn't stop. I had to swerve around the vehicle in front of me in order to avoid hitting them. My seat belt didn't lock and I felt as if I wasn't slowing down. The same thing happened to me while driving at a slower speed of 30 mph. I broke again hard and my car wouldn't stop.

I have mid 26K miles I checked my brake fluid and pads they are both good. The brakes for the past 3 months roughly 15K miles (I drive 5K miles a month) have been spongy and soft. Unless I hit the brakes hard they barely work. Sometimes I have. To pump my brakes 2 or 3 times to have them feel normal. I'm going to take my car to the dealership and look over the ABS system and braking system since it seems very unsafe and I have a newborn. It seems like the car only does it at speeds above 25 or 30mph

My Hyundai Elantra brake pedal flutters when I press it to stop giving off a loud noise and doesn't allow me to brake at times. I've taken it to the dealer but they say no issues have been found. What can I do. I'm concerned the prior recall on the the 2017. Here is the link.
