| Description of the problem | In the snow, my hyundai sonata will drive fine until turning. During turning, even with minimal snow, my brakes lock up and my car slides slowly but at that point i am unable to do anything, usually making me hit a curb. This has happened twice in the last two weeks costing me $2200. I have had two cars before my hyundai sonata and haven't had issues with such a problem. The mechanic scratches his head in confusion as to how almost the exact same thing happen in such a small time frame. It is a major safety issue, i believe something with traction control or braking is wrong. Had i been a worse driver the damages could be worse. |
