The brake lines and fuel lines were corroded. The corrosion of the brake lines would lead to brake failure and the corrosion of the fuel lines would lead to a fire. The Hyundai dealer was the first to find the brake problem and after inspection by my mechanic, the fuel lines were also found to be corroded. I took my car in for a recall service at the dealer and after the service my brake light would illuminate when decelerating(with or without brakes being applied) .

I was driving home on January 1, 2023 at 5 AM at about 60 mph on an interstate when I heard a sound come from the back of my car and then looked into the rearview mirror and smelled smoke and saw fire flames in my rear and side mirrors. I tried to use my brakes to stop my car, but the brakes would not work, so I took it out of Drive and put it into park… which slowed the car down and I was able to exit the car right before it burst into flames. The car is now a total loss.

THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE FIRST HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, WHEN TRYING TO STOP FROM 40MPH AT A RED LIGHT. THE BRAKES FAILED AND I RAN THE RED LIGHT AVOIDING ANY ACCIDENT. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 25 MORE MILES WITH NO OCCURRENCE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. NEXT MORNING WHEN DRIVING INTO THE GAS STATION AS I HIT THE DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE APPROXIMATELY 15MPH I WAS BRAKING AND THEN BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE PRESSURE CAME BACK AND I FINALLY STOPPED. I TURNED AROUND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER WITH NO OTHER ISSUES ALONG THE 8 MILE DRIVE. DEALER CHECKED ALL NORMAL ISSUES DROVE IT THEMSELVES AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ?DUPLICATE THE COMPLAINT?. APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS LATER AFTER DRIVING 25 MILES ON THE FREEWAY I WAS EXITING MY EXIT TO WORK SLOWING DOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH WHILE BRAKING AND SLOWING DOWN THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ALL PRESSURE WAS LOST I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND THEY WORKED. 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING SURFACE STREETS AND WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT AT A RED LIGHT AT ABOUT 30MPH THE BRAKES FAILED I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES AGAIN TO REGAIN PRESSURE AND I STOPPED AS I ROUNDED THE CORNER INTO THE CROSS WALK. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALER YET. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A DIFFERENT CAR AND PARKED THIS ONE UNTIL MY SCHEDULE ALLOWS ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON THE HYUNDAI FORUMS FOR INFORMATION AND THIS APPEARS TO BE ON THE FORUMS A LOT. SEVERAL HAVE RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS, EVEN A TOTAL LOSS OF ONE PERSON?S CAR. THE FORUMS ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS A VOLUNTARY RECALL AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER, DEALER REPLACES AS THE COMPLAINTS COME IN. I GUESS I WILL FIND OUT. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
