Applying the brakes and they don’t engage abs. Couldn’t come to a stop at very slow speed. They jammed up. And the dash lights don’t illuminate. Very similar to recall 188 Thanks

ABS and BREAK lights have come on 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA that my daughter is driving. The local technician informed me that Hyundai vehicles have problems with ABS module breaking down and that there is a risk of catching fire. He suggested that I should contact the federal safety agency and Hyundai immediately for the recall and replacement of ABS module. While I have been parking the car outside my house away from structures until the recall repair is authorized and complete, I am afraid for my daughter to drive the vehicle.

Problem is associated with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V061000. This is for the ABS braking system catching fire. The recall partially addressed the issue, but not fully. The manufacturer installed a fix that addresses the issue while the car is turned off, however the problem still exists while the vehicle is powered on. Shortly after starting the vehicle and driving approximately 3 miles, smoke started billowing out from under the hood and side of the car. The ABS light came on at the same time. The braking function was impaired and sporadic. The vehicle was stopped, turned off and the smoking subsided. After about 15 minutes the vehicle was able to make it back to the owners residence, but the ABS light remained on. Later, the ABS pump was removed, revealing a hole burned in the back of the unit. Repairs were performed by the owner, consisting of replacing the ABS pump with a salvage part, replacing two ABS fuses and bleeding the brake system. After repairs the warning lights are off and the vehicle performs as normal. No inspections have been done by any mechanics or others. The vehicle easily could have caught fire and lead to an accident had the issue occurred outside a residential area traveling at higher speed.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that upon start up of the vehicle, her brakes would not function upon depression of the brake pedal; the emergency brake and the ABS warning lights illuminated. The contact immediately pulled back into her driveway and shut off the vehicle. As the vehicle was off, a white color smoke began to emit from the ABS system of the engine. Upon further inspection, the contact's husband saw that the wires connected to the ABS had began to melt; therefore, he disconnected the battery and fuses. The vehicle had yet to be serviced or diagnosed for the failure. Upon investigation, the contact linked her failure to the federal safety agency campaign number: 20v061000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact attempted to call the manufacturer but was unable to reach a representative. The failure mileage was 125,000.

I received a safety recall notice that my ABS module could develop a short circuit resulting in an engine compartment fire. This fire could occur even when the car is turned off, which increases the risk of injury. I received this notice today, april 7, 2020. I have called the hyundai dealerships in my pittsburgh area. The wexford site cannot serve me until may 18 because they have only received 5 recall parts from hyundai. The south hills site does not have any parts at all. Hyundai is failing to equip locations with necessary parts to address this recall. Therefore I and hundreds of other hyundai car owners are at risk of a fire that could develop and no way to prevent, as the fire could occur even when the car is off.

My car when I tried to brake on the highway starting pulling to the right and when I let off the brake it corrects back. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the brake caliper and brake hose...my brother is an auto mechanic for lexus and decided to look into it further and it is actually the brake actuator where the brake fluid isn't even getting to the caliper. I am afraid to drive the car. This is a huge safety concern for me. And I don't see where this is recalled by hyundai? And, the brake light isn't on telling me there is an issue in the ABS system?????? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Last jan we had our passenger side visor fall without any manipulation and after taking the vehicle to hyundai they told us that the screws which are holding them together are rusted. In july 2012 the driver side visor also fell off and we took it to hyundai and they quoted us $380 just to have it fixed. It was hyundai who placed unusable and rusted parts in vehicles and later stated that we are out of warranty and would need to furnish the payment for something that we are not at fault for. Also ABS light comes up and even after changing all the brake pads and rotors, does not resolve. It is the manufacturing defect which made the visors come off and hang by the wires so why should we be responsible to pay for the manufacturing defects?? Please investigate.
