Consumer Description

UNDER REGULAR DRIVING CONDITIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BECOME SO HARD THAT THEY COULD NOT BE PRESSED DOWN, THE SPEED WOULD DECLINE TO 5 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR WOULD START SMOKING. THE ABS AND ESC LIGHT WOULD COME AND WOULDN'T GO OFF UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF. THIS S DUE TO A FAULTY ABS HECU UNIT (HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT) AND THE RIGHT FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARM. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI WHO WOULDN'T PAY THE DEALER TO FIX MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA GLS V6 WITH 65,263 MILES. THEY ADVISED THAT THE ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE ABS HECU UNIT IS FAULTY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND FELLOW DRIVERS. *TR
