The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving, the abs system locked up. While in the parking lot, the vehicle was smoking. Additionally, while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal high pitch winding noise detected . The parking and abs warning indicator lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who informed him they were not equipped to service the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.
For the past 2 weeks I have noticed a problem with the emergency brakes. Now 2 days ago while on a hill and in park I had the emergency brakes on and the car started rolling with me in it before I even got out of the car. Back in August I told my dealer the car was rolling backwards when I would park on a hill and they checked it out and it stopped doing this, but they said they found nothing wrong. Now it is getting more serious.
