| Description of the problem | On 05/10/2018, i noticed severe vibration and clunking in steering wheel. Brought vehicle to hyundai dealer and they replaced the flexible coupling in the steering column due to wear. On 08/08/2018, i brought the vehicle to the hyundai dealer for routine service and asked them to check the brakes as i experienced an intermittent loud squeaking from the brake pedal. They were unable to diagnose the problem. On 09/25/2018, i attempted to start the vehicle from a stationary position and when i depressed the brake, the pedal went all the way to the floor and a warning came on the dash advising me that the brakes had failed and i needed to stop immediately. I shut the vehicle off and then attempted to restart. Upon restart the warning condition did not reoccur. Vehicle towed to hyundai dealer for diagnosis. I was advised that the issue seems to have corrected itself and the brake system simply needed to be recalibrated. |
