| Description of the problem | The problem started december 27, 2004 as i was pulling up a private drive and attempting to stop my sante fe. As i approached the top of the drive i applied braking, my vehicle slowed and came close to what i thought would be a full stop when the abs brake system suddenly activated. I held the brake pedal down but the braking distance increased and it was then that it made contact with a parked truck. The vehicles hit front bumper to front bumper. Fortunately no one was injured but both vehicles were damaged from the impact. My vehicle had been recalled previously for a problem with the abs brakes |
