NHTSA Complaint #10818410 — 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ

THE BREAK, ABS, ESC AND CHK ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND LITERALLY EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO STEERING (EXTREMELY DIFFICULT), AND WORST OF ALL NO BREAKS. I COULD BARELY BRING THE CAR TO A STOP WITH BOTH FEET AND HAD TO DIVERT MY TRAVEL INTO A PARKING LOT TO AVOID GOING THROUGH A RED LIGHT. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM A FAULTY ABS MODULE AND HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ON VARIOUS WEB SITES. THE REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY AND THE CONSEQUENCES ARE SO POTENTIALLY DEADLY I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ITEM.. PLEASE DO THE DRIVING PUBLIC A HUGE FAVOR AND INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT AS THOUGH HYUNDAI DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
