| Description of the problem | While driving the car at 5. 20 pm on monday december 2, 2013, my brakes failed. The brake pedal almost went to the floor, were very soft, and only barely worked. I managed to stop the car without hitting any other vehicle. Since i was close to home, i carefully maneuvered the car to my garage where it was safely parked. On tuesday morning (the next day) i had the car towed to shawnee mission hyundai. That afternoon they called me back to say that the problem was complete failure of the brake control module (hecu). Upon investigation, and without any advice or assistance from the people at hyundai, i have discovered that this is a known issue for hyundai, and the subject of a recall. I am writing to inform the authority that the parts failed on my car. |
