| Description of the problem | Without any prior incidents or probable causes, the brakes suddenly went "soft", as in the pedal went to the floor and the brakes were practically ineffective. This has happened intermittently since, and from research done online, this appears to be a problem with the abs brake module, yet hyundai dealers that i have approached about the problem are unaware that this is fairly common, and are reluctant to replace this rather expensive component without toying around with other perceived "fixes", such as replacing the brake fluid and/or the master cylinder. |
