“Partial loss of braking - while traveling down the highway at 45 MPH the vehicles in front of me abruptly slowed down requiring me to quickly apply my brakes. Upon application of my brakes, I started to slow down and then the brake pedal suddenly released, providing limited braking. I continued to push the brake pedal towards the floor and the vehicle came to a stop but it required a longer stopping distance than normal. Updated 9/28/18”
NHTSA complaint #10985676, filed 2017-05, 78,880 miles“I was driving on spring cypress rd (spring, tx) approaching state highway 249 at 30 MPH, I stepped on the brakes at the intersection and the pedal went all the way down to the floor. If I didn't start pumping the brakes, I would have rear ended car on front of me. If this incident had happened while I was on the sh249 freeway, I wouldn't be here filing this report. I was able to drive slowly to the Hyundai dealer using side roads.”
NHTSA complaint #10783774, filed 2015-10, 29,630 miles“As I was exiting the highway, the brakes went almost all the way to the floor. The rest of the trip I needed to pump the brakes to enable me to stop. I took it the Hyundai dealer the next day and they said it there was a recall for the ABS module. I had the dot4 fluid recall done on december 3rd 2013 (up until then I had never had a brake issue) and apparently the ABS module recall came out dec 20, 2013. The dealer replaced the module under warranty and now the car brakes fine. I just wanted to document the failure.”
NHTSA complaint #10559460, filed 2014-01, 48,080 miles“When driving the vehicle, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and my brakes went totally out. It is a miracle there wasn't a crash with someone killed. There was a recall for this same issue and my recall was done last december but obviously the damage was already done and it did not fix my car. I called that dealership back today and they advised me that because the recall had been done and my car is out of warranty, that everything will be at my expense to repair. I will also have to pay to have it towed to be repaired. …”
NHTSA complaint #10648728, filed 2014-10, 81,000 miles“I was traveling approximately around 45mph when I pressed on the brake to stop at a intersection. However the car had other plans and didn't stop as desired due to the brake pedal going to the floor! Thankfully, no traffic was in the oncoming lane and the turn lane for me just turned green. I was able to go around the car ahead of me and make the turn without incident. I then proceeded to limp the car over to the local Hyundai dealership here in jacksonville, fl. They diagnosed it as a bad ABS module for the brakes. …”
