| Description of the problem | I am used to the brakes and do not believe they will actually fail me. My wife, when she drives the car (she owns a 2002 santa fe) complains that the brakes sink all the way to the floor. I grant that the pedal travel feels more than any other car i have ever driven (more than 30 models over the years). I, being very concerned about brakes, brought the car to toyota who checked the brakes, adjusted something but did not resolve the pedal travel. The pedal travel remained the same, almost reaching the floor. I was told that the brakes were normal for the car. |
