The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the brakes had been leaking fluid out of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired and the fluid was replaced. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The brake line was diagnosed as the cause of the failure and replaced. The failure recurred and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle would not start and was taken to the dealer again where the brake control unit was replaced. After driving approximately 35 mph, flames appeared from the exhaust. The contact stated the vehicle was pulled to side of the road and restarted and smoke began to flow from the exhaust and engine. The brake warning indicator illuminated during the first two failures and, during the last two failures, all the warning indicators illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.

As I was driving the skid control light came on. At first, nothing was different, then all of a sudden my car started slowing down and would accelerate with gas being applied. Then, it started moving again. After a while the light went off, but then came on and did the same thing.

While in drive but sitting at a stop sign or stop light, the tension(?) in the brake pedal changes as you're pressing on it. The pressing leg moves so slightly that you almost can't tell its happening. But when you press harder on the pedal there is more room to do so. Wait about 5-10 seconds and there is even more room to do so. This can continue multiple times until the pedal is touching the floor. There has been three times so far where it has done this without me realizing it, and I've looked up just in time to catch the vehicle as it's rolling forward. Luckily I haven't hit anyone or anything, at least yet. This doesn't occur every time, just occasionally. Also, it doesn't happen every day either.

Since I bought the car late Feb. 2011 (after they release the new modeled cars in the last days of the previous year)...I have complained and inquired about an occurrence that happens with the brakes on occasion that seems to be triggering: Vsm, ESC, tcs, ABS, brake assist and/or ebd safety systems under normal road, temperatures, speeds, brake pressure. There has been at brake delays, very loud grinding noise, and at times provided a violent push back and pumping unlike any normal ABS system and those times were few but again under normal conditions no sudden breaking. The grinding sounds and feels a bit like a second after you apply pressure to the brake an anchor drops on the road and bounces and grinds against mental and the pavement. It feels like an empty brake pad (but is not) and stop as if one also. However not all the time and when the brakes are normal it feels safe. However, it happens even slowly parking in my flat smooth driveway sometimes (no sand I check everytime). I have avoided many accidents just barely when this is triggered and it most often causing double the stopping time. I end up into the intersecting streets beyond a stop sign or stop light by about half a car length. It doesn't always kick in right away with brake pressure but trips it up a second later and you have to almost trick the brake and steering to get control and stop in time. There has been too much of a process in an effort to correct it, other issues found, and multiple accident caused from it one of which cause a hospital visit and an injury leaving me will a hematoma and crooked smile still. I need help and more space to explain. Please email me for details.
