In owners' own words
I live in an area that gets snow (Flagstaff, AZ), this morning 3 times the brakes locked up on me going at low speed and almost hit 2 cars because once they lock, the brakes don't let up until the car comes to a complete stop. This is a known issue with this model but Hyundai has done nothing to address it (per google). I am scared to drive the car in any weather conditions and that is what I bought it for!! Service brakes
In Easton, on a sunny dry day in the 70s. Coming to a stop sign at the bottom of a 30ish degree decline. As I approached the stop sign the brakes at around 10mph started to lock. It felt like ABS kicking in on ice. I skidded past the stop sign. There was nothing I could do to stop it. Luckily no one was in front of me, I would have hit them. I have already reported one very similar incident. Service brakes
In two instances overbthe last week, my wife has experienced her antilock brake system (ABS) initiating on dry, flat, asphalt pavement. The ABS deployment was obviously unexpected and caused the vehicle to shake abruptly and kept the vehicle from coming to a stop as quickly ad it should have. There seems to be an issue with the ABS system and is causing dangerous situations on the roadway. Service brakes
