| Description of the problem | Unable to depress brake pedal. This is the third time in twelve months that this has happened. Last may 2014 i was in grand rapids michigan going about 45 and the same thing happened i kept moving over to a clear lane on my left trying to depress the brake and had to turn into the median and do a u- turn, the car rolled to a stop. I got out and checked under the pedal and there were no obstructions. I checked the brake fluid reservoir at the master cylinder and it was full. I got back in the car and tested the brakes and found them to work. I called my hyundai dealer and had them look the car over and they had no explanation. Yesterday i was in stop and go traffic approaching a line of traffic and the same thing happened, i did not think to use the emergency hand brake but the good news no damage. .. Updated 03-16-15 *bf also, the front spring was replaced and the air bag light has since illuminated. |
