| Description of the problem | I had an accident this morning in my 2015 hyundai sonata se due to brake failure a vehicle stopped in front of me about one-and-a-half crawler and i applied my breaks because i saw when the vehicle stops when i apply my brakes they didn't work it went completely to the floor and had no breaks whatsoever and i slammed into the back of another vehicle at about 45 miles per hour all of the airbags deployed the steering wheel crack the front of my car is demolished i contacted hyundai to try to find out whether they had a recall on break for the sonatas and they said that there were no open recall on my car so i found it very strange that they said no open recall on my car but they never said that they didn't have open have any incidents with people with brake failure and i just wanted to make this publicly known that there is an issue with the brakes and i wish if there's anybody else out there that has had a similar problem they would come forward with this because i wasn't hurt very very badly but i got bumps and bruises but i could have died the same way if i was going at a high rate of speed and someone should have stopped i could have killed myself and someone else. |
