Description of the problem	There are actually 2 issues going on. First off, i purchased the car new in september 2011 (to replace a gm lemon) and ever since i've had the vehicle, it has pulled to the right. Second issue, i left work pulling onto the road, drove a couple of blocks when traffic had stopped at the upcoming light; therefore i had not completely built up speed to the speed limit (40) when i had to stop. I applied the brakes and did not completely stop before hitting the toyota 4runner in front of me, i felt like i was driving on ice. When i hit the brakes, the car started to stop but the brakes kept going further down to the floor, with no feeling of stopping. The dealership that repaired the vehicle through the insurance company( gm) said they did not find anything wrong with the brakes so i took it took it to my local hyundai dealer, who did find that my brake lines had air in them. I don't know how since i had never had them worked on and it's a sealed system. After the technician called hyundai, they assigned a case number. While my car was being repaired, i mentioned that the car pulled to the right so they did an alignment on it, since it was a front end crash. They did notice the pulling but the alignment did not help and thought i may have a bad tire, but with 21,000 miles, would not replace it. I get my tires rotated faithfully and have already been told they are wearing out. This is the first foreign car i've owned and (as prev. Noted) got it to replace a gm lemon, now i don't feel safe driving this car and i have to use it to travel across the state. Between the steering and the brakes, i don't know what to do. Did i get another lemon? Since i can't seem to get any satisfaction,i'm contacting you, i'm tired of calling the hyundai dealer since they say can't do anything. I don't want to get satisfaction, only after my family is writing my obituary. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
