| Description of the problem | When the brake pedal was depressed today 08/23/19, it traveled to the floorboard, barely escaping rear ends of several vehicles on the highway and city streets. There was no warning indicator illuminated. There is no evidence of a brake fluid leak. There is the appropriate amount of brake fluid in the reservoir. Having entered my vin # into this site has provided no recalls. Although reading everything about no. 114, that i have sounds like it should be and it should be corrected. Some people, who have also had this problem, said that the brake fluid used was causing failure in the master brake cylinder valves. This is obviously a manufacturer error, and hyundai should be held responsible. I have unfortunately had to leave my car due to this safety hazard over hour and a half from home. This needs to be addressed/fixed quickly. |
