| Description of the problem | I had two prior incidents where partial to complete braking failure occurred previously, but the issue was only temporary (a single stop). This incident persisted for duration of my drive, prompting research into the issue (and discovery of the known abs hecu corrosion issue. I was attempting to slow and make a turn onto a sidestreet on the way to work, when the brake pedal went to the floor with minimal resistance (and limited braking effectiveness). This prompted a panicked pumping of the brakes to eventually stop the vehicle 5-10ft shy of the rear bumper of another car. After carefully testing to ensure i had some braking effectiveness, i finished the short distance to my office, noting that the pedal remained very soft, going to the floor with ease, and having limited success in stopping the vehicle. I shudder to think what would have happened had this issue presented itself at highway speeds. I have already contacted hyundai corporate and dropped my vehicle off with a dealership for recall repair. I am hoping this incident, coupled with my manufacture date (prior to june 1, 2010 cutoff date) will justify a full abs hecu replacement under recall. |
