| Description of the problem | Brake pedal almost went to floor before it started to come to a stop. We didn't hit anything because we were in parking lot but if this had happened on the highway, there would have been an accident. This problem started suddenly and has continued. The car is now in a repair shop. There was a recall to replace the brake fluid and this was done in january 2014. The wrong brake fluid was in the car for four years before it was replaced. It seems reasonable that this current brake failure is due to the four years of improper brake fluid although hyundai will take no responsibility for this brake issue. |
