1 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2013

The brakes on the 2012 Hyundai Veloster will work fine one minute and then go to the floor suddenly with no braking action. You will have to pump the brakes to get them to work. At one point, the brakes went to the floor and pumping the brakes failed to work and I went over a curb in a parking lot. I took the car into regional Hyundai in the first part of 2014 due to this situation becoming concerning. They kept the car for several days but said they did not know the reason for the brake problem. They stated they would call the Hyundai engineers to discuss the issue but never called me back. It is now July 2014. I still have not heard back from Hyundai and the situation with the brakes is worse. I am taking the car back into regional Hyundai on Thursday, July 10, to try, once again, to find an answer to this problem. The car is extremely dangerous to drive with the brake situation and I am afraid to drive it.
