Description of the problem	After exiting a restaurant parking lot i attained a speed of about 35mph when a traffic lite about 100yds ahead turned to red. I took my foot off the accelerator and after a few yards applied the brakes only to find the pedal going down to the floor with little or no braking action. I grabbed and the pulled the hand brake as hard as reasonable without breaking the handle or doing other damage to the emergency braking system. Although i stopped about 2-3 car lengths short of an accident i'm sure that use of the hand brake prevented a rear end collision. Only after i had driven a few hundred yards to get off the roadway did the red brake failure lite come on confirming that i had survived a sudden brake failure as opposed to a slow leak failure. With a rather shaky hand, i grabbed a flash light and while my passenger pumped the brake pedal i found that the brake fluid was leaking from a location about 16 inches in front of the left rear tire. The car is in the yard now but w/o a lift the location of the failure is unknown. Hundai did not seemed too concerned about the near accident stating there are no known brake issues but did give me a case number for reference, that number is 6046357. Since hundai did not seem too concerned about near accident so i will be taking the sonata to a local dealer.
