Description of the problem	I was driving in town @ slow speed, & put on brakes to stop at a stop sign/cross walk. I began to brake a car & half length from the cross walk. The car did not stop & i felt it pull forward, felt a vibration in the brake peddle & hear the motor making a low revving or whining sound. The car went through the cross walk & into the middle of the intersection. At that point i took my foot off the brake & drove on until i found a place to pull over. The brakes were fine when i stopped the car at the parking spot. I left the car running & called my hyundai dealership. Explained the problem & explained that i was alarmed by this. The guy told me it was probably my abs brakes kicking in as it was raining. I have driven cars for years with abs brakes & had them kick in & this did not feel the same. This felt like my car was pulling forward rather than abs brakes activating. I could not stop the car with my foot on the brake peddle. This is the second time this has happened in the last 5 months. But i don't have the date of that incident. Both times i called the dealership. I was told to keep driving the car today & if it does it again to schedule an appointment as they have had some problems with the abs brakes. I am going on vacation in a couple of days & the dealership is 50 miles away, so i can't just stop by when this happens. My concern, which i expressed to the dealership, is that if someone had been in the cross walk i would have hit them as i had no way to stop the car and it was pulling forward. Or if i car had been coming through the intersection, i would have been hit and it would have been my fault. I am less than 3000 from my warranty being up and told the dealership to make a note of this as a problem at this point. I see where there are others who have had the exact same problem. I am very concerned that this is a dangerous situation with this car.
