Description of the problem	I purchased the 2011 hyundai sonata june 2010. I was really enjoying the new sleek look of the sonata. I have never owned any type of hyundai vehicle before. Well as i began to drive the vehicle - i noticed that there was a bit too much skidding on water or during rain fall. This was during a simple take off from a stop. January 2011 i was traveling at about 35 miles per hour light snow was falling but the roads were clear. As i was approaching traffic ahead the light turned green and traffic began to move. I noticed the car in front of me not quite taking off with traffic so i began to brake. To my surprise - guess what - the car was not stopping. My nice picture of the skidding car lite up and the vibration under the brake pedal started. So i let off and pressed again and there was still no stopping. I began to blow my horn in a panic to warn the driver ahead i was coming. (well as you all may or may not know - the horn is pretty lousy and according to the other driver - after i hit him - he didn't realize it was my car until it was too late.) i literally had my foot pressed to the floor blowing the horn and trying to stop this car but to no avail it did not until we collided. Thank god there was only cracked bumpers involved but it truly could have been so much worse. I am truly afraid to drive this car in the various elements now because i just don't know what to expect and the next time will i be alive to tell another story. Pretty scary.
