Description of the problem	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.
