Unknown. I think the ABS module light appeared instantly on the dashboard. It's the anti-lock brakes that aren't working. I immediately contacted my hyundai dealership when I saw a brake light come up on my dashboard when I went to brake but I had none and the brakes went all the way to the floor and I almost went over a cliff and died or badly hurt others or myself in a car accident. I'm willing to try and get it fixed at other independent service centers in plymouth massachusetts. The event had happened a week before but I didn't report this incident to the police, insurance representatives/others or any other manufacturer because there wasn't officially any automobile accidents. Finally, my hyundai accent 2012 was donated to me by "good news garage" over 2.5-3 yrs ago through a work-to-program/donation under the m.r.c. Or massachusetts rehabilitation center in plymouth massachusetts which is permanently closed and is now called mass options and that's the only thing I know about this situation with no brakes. Please help me. I need to know my next steps. Thank you! Owner and driver [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Hyundai's current handling of recall 251 is inadequate, posing significant danger to drivers and passengers. Hyundai's remedy for Recall 251 replaces ABS fuse with a lower amperage fuse. While this may prevent fires caused by brake fluid leaks, it disables the ABS, introducing severe safety hazards: •Without ABS, the risk of wheel lockup during heavy braking increases, leading to skidding and loss of control. •ABS reduces stopping distances, especially on slippery surfaces. Disabling it may result in longer stopping distances, raising collision risks. •Drivers accustomed to ABS may not be prepared for how the vehicle behaves without it, potentially leading to improper braking. Federal regulations mandate that all U.S. cars and minivans manufactured in 2012 or later must have four-wheel ABS. By disabling the ABS, Hyundai circumvents this requirement, compromising safety. Despite attempts to communicate these safety issues, Hyundai has shown inadequate response. This suggests a disregard for customer safety and an effort to avoid liability and the cost of providing loaner vehicles or temporary replacements. Hyundai has not offered alternative transportation to affected drivers. Given these safety risks and Hyundai's inadequate response, we urgently request the federal safety agency to: 1.Ensure Recall 251 Remedy does not compromise safety by disabling the ABS. 2.Hold Hyundai accountable for maintaining four-wheel ABS in affected vehicles. 3.Require Hyundai to develop a safer recall remedy that: oFixes the Root Cause: Properly addresses the brake fluid leak to eliminate the fire risk without compromising the ABS. oMaintains ABS Functionality: Ensures the ABS system remains fully operational. oProvides Safety Support: Advises vehicle owners not to drive affected vehicles until the new remedy is implemented and provides loaner vehicles or temporary replacements. We urge the federal safety agency to take immediate & decisive action to compel Hyundai to develop a safer, more effective solution.

my dealership, palmers hyundai on airport blvd in mobile, al said I can make an appointment to come in to have the abs fire hazard addressed, but there is no guarantee that they will have the part to fix the recall problem because they don't receive the item in bulk. I would have to make appt, come in and wait until my turn and then see if they would have the part to be able to fix it that day
