Description of the problem	I have experienced brake failure on 2 occasions. I took my 2008 hyundai santa fe to the dealer on monday, march 1, 2010. The brakes were checked completely, and the vehicle was taken on several test drives. The service tech was unable to duplicate the failure. Therefore nothing was replaced or repaired. The first occasion of brake failure was on wednesday night, february 24th, i was slowing down and getting ready to make a right turn, as i approached the driveway i put my foot on the brake pad, and it went to the floor, and i coasted past the driveway. Went up turned around, with no brake problem. The second incident was on sunday february 28th, as i pulled into the church parking lot, i tapped the brake to slow down and turn to park, as i hit the brake, my foot went to the floorboard, and i again coasted past where i wanted to turn. Luckily there was no one walking or stopped in front of me. I am concerned that the next time this happens someone will get hurt. And, i no longer feel safe driving my car.
