2007 Hyundai Tucson Brakes Problems

“I was doing a 75mph in the state of colorado and suddenly I lost all the power in steering. The brakes were jammed. The steering wheel won't budge. I got rattled in this situation but adrenaline took over and I could slightly swerve the car off the highway and then on the shoulder. I had to use the emergency brakes often, just to slow down the speed and hence to a full stop. The parking brake was my only resort in this incident. I was fortunate to not have met with an accident. It would have been fatal. …”

“I was driving when informed that both break lights went out at the exact same time an I no longer have any break light to signal if I was breaking. I took car to the mechanic and was told it was not the fuses nor was it the stop switch that is causing it to malfunction. It has to do with the wiring issue of the car. I then was informed that there had been a recall on the type of vechile that I have and several people been having the same issue with the make and model of the vehicle”

“Was driving and brakes locked up, towing company literally dragged the car onto tow truck. Spoke with mechanic and he said they have an 05 in shop for same thing, they are pretty sure it is the hecu which caused a recall in Hyundai genesis, but no recall on other makes”

“Brakes are very hard to push, increased stopping distance. Sitting at a stop light the vehicle starts to roll on its own and brake needs to be reapplied.this will continue to occur until pedal is almost at the floor.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph when the contact noticed smoke coming from the front driver's side brakes. The contact was able to pull over and had the vehicle towed to the contact's residence. The contact stated no warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer. The manufacturer was informed of failure and told the contact that their VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.”
