| Description of the problem | The brake pedal makes a noise when you depress the pedal. At times the pedal sticks momentarily then the brakes will grab, as if i slammed on the brakes. The issue was looked at by the dealership who verified the, squeak, duck sound coming from the pedal area but they were not able to determine the cause. This issue was bumped up to hyundai corporate engineers who have not "found" a solution. The sound is consistent and the sudden brake grab occurs intermittently. |
