| Description of the problem | Driving in a 45 mph road, there was a traffic light that turned red. My speed before starting to brake was approximately 40 mph. When i pressed the brake pedal, it went almost to the floor and the car was not stopping. Immediately i pumped the brake pedal several times and fortunately the brakes slowed down the car until it came to a stop almost at the middle of the intersection. It was a blessing that there was no other car in front of me or crossing the intersection at the time. Drove home very slowly and towed the vehicle to the service center. Abs module was replaced at a cost of over $2400. 00. A few months before the car had the brake fluid replaced due to a vehicle recall from hyundai. Service performed by the same service center that replaced the faulty abs module. |
