Kia Spectra5 brake and battery lights activated after driving through puddle, car lost power requiring restart on Kia Spectra5

Some Kia Spectra5 owners report experiencing simultaneous illumination of the brake and battery lights after driving through a puddle, which may indicate potential issues with the vehicle's braking and electrical systems. These warning lights can arise from water entering sensitive areas of the vehicle, potentially leading to electrical malfunctions and affecting components like the alternator, which may cause the battery light to activate due to improper charging. Owners are advised to pull over safely and inspect the car when these warning lights appear unexpectedly, and to restart the vehicle to see if the lights persist. Continuing to drive with these warning lights can be risky, as it may impact the car's electrical systems and lead to a discharged battery. If the battery light remains illuminated, it is recommended to turn off the engine, assess the situation, and seek professional inspection if the warning lights do not disappear after restarting the vehicle.
