When I apply the brake, it feels like the abs on steroids kicks in, on dry pavement, (this was after I had new brakes installed) I ended up having two new sets of brakes installed. Had it to the dealership for the same issue after they put the �factory brakes� installed for the same issue and they looked at me like I am crazy, so they greased what they could and said if it kept doing it to bring it back. This was oct 2017. It was good for a while and then started up in November and again in December about once a week. I bought a new 2018 elantra and gave the Santa Fe to my grandsons. They came over and said �grandma, what's up with the brakes� they finally knew what I meant. When driving on dry pavement, in the city, putting on brakes coming to a light then the abs kicks in. I put in a complaint to the consumers affairs at Hyundai. They told me to take it to a dealer and have them check it. My grandsons took it over to the same place and an older man drove it (keep in mind it does not do it all the time) and he said he could feel something and said it was the master cylinder and it would cost $800 to bleed the lines and put a new master cylinder in. Well, the brakes don't give out and they do not go all the way to the floor � they act like abs on steroids. So if I have them replace the master cylinder for $800, plus whatever, and it still does it, then what? I see others are having the same trouble � what is up Hyundai? sounds like this is happening to others too. :/ this started about June 2017 and sporadically until now. Few times a month and now more . For the lighting - the front headlight goes out once a year like clockwork and the interior light is only half on.

Driving 15-17 miles an hour, rush hour, on street tried to stop, bump car in front, dealer said I need an master cylinder and an break booster, brought my car 4/9/16, certified used car, now I have to pay 1200. 00 to get the brakes fix plus 500. 00 deductible for accident plus 100. 00 deductible for easycare, this is not fair.

Unable to depress brake pedal. This is the third time in twelve months that this has happened. Last may 2014 I was in grand rapids michigan going about 45 and the same thing happened I kept moving over to a clear lane on my left trying to depress the bake and had to turn into the median and do a u turn, the car rolled to a stop. I got out and checked under the pedal and there were no obstructions. I checked the brake fluid reservoir at the master cylinder and it was full. I got back in the car and tested the brakes and found them to work. I called my Hyundai dealer and had them look the car over and they had no explanation. Yesterday I was in stop and go traffic approaching a line of traffic and the same thing happened, I did not think to use the emergency hand brake but the good news no damage.

I was stopped in a left turn lane and I believe I was the 8th or 9th vehicle in line. I had my foot on the brake pedal and the pedal went to the floor! I turned my steering wheel to the left as far as I could, but I tapped the bumper of the vehicle in front of me. There were no injuries and very minor damage to the rear bumper of the vehicle in front of me, and very minor damage to my front bumper. No other vehicles were involved. I called the Hyundai dealership and told them that my brakes had failed and had caused an accident. I was told that it was probably not the brakes, but the master brake cylinder. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership (carl gregory Hyundai, at northlake, columbus, GA) this morning I called to check on the status of the vehicle and was told that they had driven the vehicle for 200 miles and could not reproduce the problem. I had already told them that I was stopped in a turn lane when the brakes failed!! I was told that the Hyundai representative told them to replace the master cylinder.

2002 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS. When moderately braking to slow down to exit the interstate the car rapidly decelerated and vibrated violently. Pulled over and could not get the car to go over 20 mph. My initial impression was that the transmission was failing. This happened randomly on several occasions. The 2nd time it occurred I had the car towed to the nearest Hyundai dealer. Dealer could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. I drove the car back without incident and dropped it off at the Hyundai dealer that sold me the car. They had the vehicle for several days before they could reproduce the problem. The diagnosis was a faulty brake system master cylinder and proportioning valve. Cost of the repair was over $500. I investigated this problem at various Hyundai forums on the internet and learned that this same problem has been reported on other Hyundai vehicles (including my generation of Santa Fe). I feel that any brake system failure is a serious safety defect that should be investigated.

The contact owns a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving 4 mph, the brake pedal extended to the floor or within an inch of the floor when it was depressed. When he pumped the pedal, it resumed the proper position. Throughout the day, the brake pedal would extend approximately two inches from the floor when it was depressed. If he stomped on the brake pedal, it would go all the way down as well. Midas stated that they could find no failure and that it was a "Hyundai problem". The master cylinder, brake pads, and fluid were cited to be functioning properly. The purchase date was unknown. The current mileage was 148,000 and failure mileage was 145,000.

The 1st -Dec. 23 2004. My husband and I was traveling on the interstate and the car began to slow down. My husband pulled to the side of the road and there was smoke coming from the brakes. After getting out and inspecting for problems we got back in the car and attempted to proceed forward and the car would not move. We called the tow truck. By the time car got to the service department, they were able to drive the vehicle. When they did their inspection, they could not find any problems. We went a week later and pick the car up and drove away. Within 2 weeks, a similar problem arose, but the car was still drivable; therefore we did not take it in, but did call to inform the dealership of the problem. In February 2006, the problem came again and the car had to be towed to the nearest dealer. Initially there was no problem found, but I requested they check the brakes and it was a faulty master cylinder. This was replaced. Within 2 months, we were pulling from the driveway and it appeared my husband had mistakenly put his foot on the gas, however we were sure it was the brakes and the engine revved up and continued to move forward. We called and reported and they said we could bring it in for service. , however they rely on the computer to indicate the problem. No problem existed based on the computer. As recent as Saturday, April 8, 2006, my son and I was driving and I was pulling behind a line of cars that were stopping at a stop light and the engine revved as I put my foot on the brakes. The car did not stop until I quickly put it in park. We took the car in today, Monday, April 10 and again, no problem being found. I called the Hyundai customer service, who is investigating the incident. My concern is that we know that there is a problem, but since we now rely solely on computer to locate problems we may never get the problem solved. I hope it doesn't take an accident to get this problem resolved.
