This vehicle was driven approx. 1/2 mile from home when power steering and brakes failed. It was pulled off of the road and stopped with the emergency brake. Immediately flames shot up the windshield. The entire interior was completely destroyed as well 3/4 of the exterior.
: the contact stated the brakes failed while parking which caused the vehicle to hit a building. The vehicle was traveling 2-3 mph. There was damage done to the front end of the vehicle. While driving to the dealership, the brakes failed again. While the vehicle was at the dealership, they could not duplicate the brake problem. After leaving the dealership, the brakes failed again.
Brake failure of my 2004 Hyundai, Santa Fe. The car had 1,940 miles on it at the time of the incident. I braked, to stop behind a car that was stopped for another car turning left. The brake pedal went to the floor and my car rolled into the stopped car. Hyundai is denying there is anything wrong with the car! I have been without a car for a month now (without a rental car due to the fact they can find nothing wrong) and they tell me, to pursue the cause of the failure, will take up to two months. One of the three dealer mechanics that looked at the car told me they had this happen before (brake failure, and could find nothing wrong then either). After checking the NHTSA website, I find 4 other brake failure complaints similar to mine since October 8th of 2003, with Hyundai denying there is any problem with the cars. I believe there is definitely a problem with this many incidents in such a short time frame(how many have not been reported to your website?).
