| Description of the problem | On 9/6/2012 my wife was driving at approximately 40 mph, when a pickup truck pulled in front of her, she applied the brakes and the pedal went almost to the floor, but she managed to stop the vehicle. She immediately drove it home, and i tested the vehicle with the same results, the brakes went almost to the floor. Called hyundai and they had the car towed. Picked the car up on 9/12/2012. Hyundai diagnosed the problem as a failed abs unit. Thankfully the car was under warranty, since the cost to repair was $2071. Since i just heard about the recall, i thought it was important to report that the problem happened over 1 year ago. |
