The $ amt is currently unknown, I dont have my car with me milage is over 16000, I tried to conntact Hyundai via web couldn't will try tommarow. I just crested a short hill on a left hand turn. I saw a Mini-van at the bottom stopped. Mabey 3-4 car distances ahead I stared to brake I instancely noted I was not slow enough, I incresed brake press and filaly floored the bake, I went over a car and a half with the brake floored, when I was right on top of the Mini-van I relized the brakes were not working and that I was going to crash, I rearended the Mini-van, I left no skids and made no screech . When I floored the brake pedal I was expecting a quick but not rearending stop. Insted it was more like I put it in neutral and glided in. I have never had brake problems, and the brakes worked afterward though the care was only moved short slow distances.

The brakes failed.
While driving the brakes failed to work properly. The consumer can hear a loud clicking when making a left or right turn. Upon applying the brakes the engine locked and spun out of control. Also, the brake pedal is very hard to push down. The tires get very hot. Took to dealer several times and problem is still not resolved. . Nlm.
Brakes grind, there is brake dust all over hub cap, and sometimes when braking brake pedal has to be pressed almost to the floor to stop. In addition to periodic squeaking noises, consumer was informed this was normal.
