Usually when there are rainy conditons when I am attempting to inititate driving my vehicle, I have a problem with braking, the brakes will sound very loudly and experience excessive vibration and have extended stopping distance. In a few instances I almost hit other cars and the curb because the car would not stop.

Santa Fe 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Was pulling into parking lot of shopping mall, as I pulled into parking space I applied the ABS brakes and they went all the way to the floor without stopping my vehicle. I then took my foot off the brake and applied it again, with the same results. Before I could use the emergency brake I struck the vehicle ahead of me.
