| Description of the problem | On two separate occasions, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. The first time this happened, the car had been sitting all night and it immediately malfunctioned when i started it. After driving a short distance, turning the car off, and restarting it-the brakes worked. My husband took the car to an independent mechanic who could find nothing wrong. The second time this happened, someone pulled out in front of me and i had to hit the brakes. The abs engaged and i did get the car to stop, but the brake pedal went to the floor again. After pumping the brake, it worked again but the brakes still seem soft. I have scheduled a visit with the hyundai dealership in 2 days. There are no warnings before this happens and it seems like a terrible safety issue. After reading all the other complaints, i don't understand why hyundai has not done more with this issue. |
