Happend on 11/13/2021 morning around 10.30 AM. I lost complete control on my Hyundai GENESIS 2013 (v8, Race Specification 5.0) on brakes. I was gonig downhill and wanted to control the car but car was not responsive at all after applying breaks. This happened only for a few seconds, the engigne light came up on dashboard, a couple of other lights on dashboard also may have lighted, but I did not remember which one. I was very scared for a few moments. The engine light and other alram ligts went down and I got control. I want to take this car to nearby Hyundai dealer but I wanted to record this incident, so that if it happens while I drive, I should not be blamed for reckless driving. I am driving this car for many years (since 2013) and this has never happened before.

On Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at approximately 2:30pm, the engine failed suddenly while driving on the freeway in the left-hand lane at approx. 65 mph. Vehicle vibrated and gave off loud knocking sound and engine power was lost. Electrical power was maintained. No emergency lane was available on the left, so I had to coast to the right-hand emergency lane. Vehicles from behind came extremely close to striking my vehicle. The vehicle is currently in the possession of Hyundai; and appears to indicate connecting rod bearing failure.

While I am driving at around 20 mph, all of sudden engine shuts off, steering wheel is frozen, brake doesn't work, all light remained on dash board. I put it in park and start it. It comes back without any issues. No code are registered so dealer can not see the problem. Also happened in parking a lot about 5 weeks back. This is big safety issue where I might run into somebody without steering wheel and brake control.
