In owners' own words
The vehicle brakes malfunctioned while driving over bumpy pavement in a parking lot. There was a loss of ability to stop the vehicle, the breaks seemed locked or ineffective. This cause me to come close to rear ending the vehicle in front of me. My foot was pushed FIRMLY on the break and the vehicle seemed to continue to lurch forward. The collision warning alarm was sounding and the brake pedal was vibrating. Service brakes
I live in an area that gets snow (Flagstaff, AZ), this morning 3 times the brakes locked up on me going at low speed and almost hit 2 cars because once they lock, the brakes don't let up until the car comes to a complete stop. This is a known issue with this model but Hyundai has done nothing to address it (per google). I am scared to drive the car in any weather conditions and that is what I bought it for!! Service brakes
In Easton, on a sunny dry day in the 70s. Coming to a stop sign at the bottom of a 30ish degree decline. As I approached the stop sign the brakes at around 10mph started to lock. It felt like ABS kicking in on ice. I skidded past the stop sign. There was nothing I could do to stop it. Luckily no one was in front of me, I would have hit them. I have already reported one very similar incident. Service brakes
