Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe

The abs system light has turned on. It happened before the above date, stopped coming on, and now has returned. I put brake fluid in the little compartment under the hood. The light goes out temporarily. Pep boys told me the problem is abs related. Also, a very costly job. The car also has a problem accepting gas. I have been told that the gas may be pouring into the tank too fast at the station and splashing on the side of the tank making the pump think it is full. Pep boys told me that it is a problem with evaporation and that it is a very costly job of roughly 1000. 00. America should be a more ethical and moral country. The consumer should not be "ripped off"" after choosing to purchase a used vehicles. Foreign cars should not be allowed into this country when they have defects. All used vehicles should have to conform to state inspections and garage inspections before offering it to the consumer. Consumers should get a clean bill of health from the dealership about the car. Money is so precious and rare. Why are we expected to spend it on a "lemon?" I went to a used car dealership and the car had a multitude of problems that were not revealed. I paid far too much for a used car with problems. I have made a lot of repairs. I re-purchased the car in repair costs. Cars are not like clothing whereby you try it on and if it doesn't fit you don't buy it. A car should undergo intense inspection by the state before a dealership can put it on their lot. The inspection should create more validity about the amount charged for a used car. It would be a good way to spend taxpayer dollars, given the current cost of taxes.

At low speeds the brakes lock up and the car goes into a jerking motion while approaching a stop light and while going into a store parking lot. The car is hard to steer and stop and the brakes must be depressed harder than normally required. This happens when the car gets wet but also during dry times. The abs light has been coming on.

The contact owns a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. On may 27, 2008, while driving between 1-20 mph, the abs light illuminated and the vehicle would not stop. The contact was able to avoid crashing several times by applying the hand brake. On June 17, 2005, she took the vehicle to the dealer for NHTSA campaign id number 04v131000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module); however, they could not duplicate the failure in the 2002 model. The manufacturer advised him to take the vehicle back to the dealer for a diagnosis. The contact will take the vehicle back to the dealer. The failure mileage was 50,744 and current mileage was 115,864.
