Exclamation Electrical seems to loose power when braking

I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6. When applying the brakes and the vehicle slows down to between 25-35mph the headlights dimm, radio shuts off, and AC turns way down. Then it all goes back to normal as the car slows down to a stop and sits idle. I tested this driving down the road slowing the vehicle down to 25-35mph and it does it every time. I will be taking it to the dealer tomorrow. Anyone have any idea of what might be causing this?

My coworker owns the same vehicle. He seems to love it. I've never heard anything like this...take it to the dealer. What you're describing doesn't sound normal to me.

It sounds like a short circuit of some sort in the braking system, the lights or the ABS, but it could also be an alternator or module issue. Some of these systems are very complex, and it is a little difficult to figure out without more details.
