| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Since the purchase of my vehicle, i have experience problems with the abs system, similar to those included in the recall of the 3.5l santa fe's. i know that recalls are vin specific, but i feel that hyundai and nhtsa should look into recalling the 2.7l lx santa fe also. my concern is that when stopping the abs will intermittently activate causing the braking distance to increase. when it activates, there is a rumbling noise and vibration and the vehicle will not stop at a safe distance. at many times, i have run through stop signs or entered too far into intersections at red lights due to the brake failure. sometimes i have to hit a bump or ice for this to occur, but more times than not, i am on a smooth, dry surface when it happens. i have mentioned this to the dealer on more than one occasion and they expect me to believe that this is normal abs function. |
