Description of the problem	I bought this vehicle used in 2012 and experienced my first incident with the brakes approx. 5 mos later. Whenever i have to stop in a hurry at various speeds, the brakes do not engage. Vehicle slides, does not stop. I came close to having several accidents and was fortunate enough to drive the vehicle into next lane to avoid hitting car in front of me or going through a red light. This is very scary and i can't believe hyundai has not recalled vehicles with similar problems. Brakes work fine if you have plenty of time to stop, but if you have to make a sudden stop and step on the brakes, they will not engage even if you pump them. Vehicle just slows down on its own. I would like hyundai to explain the reason for this mal-function of the braking system in the santa fe models. This is very dangerous, people are going to be injured or die because they cannot stop their vehicle suddenly at average to high speeds when traveling.
