| Description of the problem | As i applied the brakes i could feel the abs trying to kick in and then the car started excellerating. I was approaching a very busy street so i put the car into a snowbank. I had the car towed to dealership, in fear of driving it, to get ot inspected. Mind you, this make and model car has had several recalls. While in shop they fixed two recalls #'s 132 and 136 and then they diagnosed that the brake sensor malfunctioned and that they had to recode it. I was fortunate to have avoided what could have been a major accident. They, hyundai, don't really want to stand behind their product once it's past warranty. |
