1 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 09/22/2017

About a week ago I was driving home on my lunch break and was heading down main street in saugus, MA driving about 35mph. I came to the end of the road, and as the light turned yellow, I proceeded to slow down and come to a stop. As I was slowing down my brakes locked up, and I couldn't stop. The abs light did not illuminate in my dash. The brakes ended up "kicking in" thankfully allowing me to stop in time. The same day, as I was driving back to work, I was going 15 mph by wakefield high school, and I went to go brake, and I couldn't stop. Abs sounded like it was kicking in, but no illumination, and thankfully stopped in time before hitting the car in front of me. That following weekend, same thing happened pulling off of my street, and I couldn't stop at the stop sign, and instead, skidded down the hill and stopped about 2 feet passed the stop sign. No illumination. It feels like your sliding down an icy hill and the abs kicks in, but the light doesn't turn on warning me. It literally just works when it wants and it's extremely unsafe and scary. The last time I drove it was this Monday, and when braking, I couldn't stop right away, abs kicks in, no illumination, and my heart in my throat. When reading on what was going on that night, I found that the 2015 Hyundai Sonata model had a recall for abs malfunctions during may 28th 2014 to August 21st, 2015 where Hyundai recalled over 65,000 vehicles for the same issue with the following: " in the event of an abs malfunction, the brake system warning light will illuminate, but the abs warning light will not illuminate. Since the vehicles have abs malfunction lights that do not illuminate, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 135, "light vehicle brake systems. " I sincerely feel that my vehicle is also affected and should be honored by this recall.
