2 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2013

The cruise control on Hyundai Elantra failed to disengage while I driving on highway at 70 mph despite repeatedly pushing the "cancel" and "off" buttons. Firm braking also failed to disengage the cruise control. I managed to stop only after pulling the emergency brake and applying heavy/maximum braking. Smoke. Tires destroyed. Scary! my child and I almost died. The abs and esc off lights came on and remained on. Kia and Hyundai recently recalled 1. 9 million vehicles to fix this issue. However, this incident suggests that Hyundai has not fixed the problem because my car had the recall procedure completed one month prior to the incident occuring.
