| Description of the problem | The brake pedal would become soft while driving and would travel to the floor with little to no stopping power. Several times both on city streets and freeways the vehicle became difficult to slow or stop and almost resulted in several collisions. The vehicle had been recalled and previously serviced with new brake fluid per nhtsa campaign 13v489000. At 59,000 miles i had alerted the hyundai service department about the brake failure. They were unable to reproduce the problem. The problem persisted and now they were able to reproduce the issue. The intermittent failure of the brake system is life threatening and needs to be addressed. Their is quite obviously degradation of the brake system components due to the original brake fluid not having corrosion inhibitors. |
