| Description of the problem | I have a new 2008 hyundai santa fe with 1,500 miles. After driving on an interstate and driving a short distance after stopping for the exit ramp, i attempted to stop again. The brake pedal went to the floor with no action whatsoever. I tried again and it stopped. I checked the brake fluid level and it was still full. I checked for any visible signs of liquid leaks around the wheels, but observed none. Two hours later the same occurrence and the next day the same occurrence. There were no injuries or accidents as i kept driving slowly and checking the brakes frequently. I've scheduled an appointment with the local hyundai dealer. |
