| Description of the problem | While driving on h street ne in washington dc during the day, i applied the brakes from a speed of approximately 25 mph. As i passed over some gravelly surface, the anti-lock mechanisms activated. After the initial rapid pulsation associated with antilock braking, however, the brake pedal went soft and traveled nearly the full distance to the floor before re-engaging. The brakes remained in this condition for several minutes, but they returned to normal after about 10 minutes and several applications. The incident occurred again on a gravel road in late july 2012. This time the brakes never returned to normal. Instead, to apply the brakes, i would have to push the pedal nearly all the way to the floor. The local hyundai dealership took my car in for service, and after a few weeks and different attempted solutions, fixed the problem. The problem has not recurred since july 2012. |
