My wife drives a 2007 entourage se that currently has 96,000 miles on it. A short time ago the brake pedal got 'soft' or what some people might call 'spongy' or "mushy" accompanied with gradual 'leak down'or "fading" of the brake pedal. As this is normally a symptom of a failing master cylinder, I replaced the master cylinder. This did nothing to solve the problem. Next, I replaced the rear brake pads (although they were probably only half worn) to push more fluid back into the reservoir in hopes it would 'tighten up' the pedal feel. This also did not improve the situation. The front brake pads are relatively recent and not in need of replacement. I next took the vehicle to a dealership for diagnosis. The dealership indicated that what I was experiencing was a failure of the ABS module (pump and control unit) that they don't see very often. Based on the dealership advice, I replaced the ABS module. This had no effect on the problem. In a final effort, I replaced the vacuum booster which also did nothing to correct the situation. After each of these repair efforts the brakes were bled manually and with the "auto bleed" function of a scan tool. Note that there are no ABS, ebd or etc diagnostic codes present in the vehicles diagnostic system. I've come to realize is the van is basically "unrepairable" by mere mortals. Perhaps a kia/hundai vehicle braking system designer with all the time in the world, following the 143 pages of brake system diagnostics present in the 2006-2007 service manual might stumble on a solution but I don't know anyone like that. Thus, it appears that I'm going to have to donate this vehicle to a charity for the tax writeoff with full disclose that I would not recommend it be driven in it's current condition. This is a real shame as we've had this van for 10 years since it's 2008 purchase and it looks great inside and out.

When approaching cross traffic on a busy state highway from a business parking lot at low speed, my 2007 hyundai entourage experienced a sudden unintentional acceleration (sua) and was unable to be stopped on dry pavement. Even though the foot brake was depressed with as much force as possible, the vehicle was slowed but still uncontrollably moved into cross traffic without my opportunity to stop and prepare for clear and safe entry onto the highway. The oncoming driver from the left, although not able to stop while sounding his horn, swerved to the left ahead of my vehicle thereby avoiding a broad-side collision with my vehicle. Speed limit on this straight section of road was 45 MPH and my car was still moving straight ahead at a 'walking pace' but still unstoppable. My car narrowly missed colliding with the vehicle that was passing in front of me to avoid the broad-side collision. After the car passed in front of my vehicle, I had maybe 12 feet until hitting the guard rail unless I turned sharply left which I did. Once heading left on the highway in the proper lane, the sua ended on it own. The entire event was over in just seconds. Fortunately there were no collisions and no injuries. Nevertheless, this sua represent a dangerous safety concern which was reported to hyundai USA.

I was driving the speed limit when all of sudden my hood flew up, smashed my windshield, thank god I was able to pull over and no one was hurt but, my hood was crunched and my windshield shattered, set up an appt. With hyundai dealership as they told me the latch for hood had been recalled. On my way home stopped for gas, pulled in behind a man with his young child in a car seat when the van just started to accelerate, I couldn't stop, even holding both feet on the brake peddle, my husband reached over and turned the van off. We slammed into the back of the car with the baby in it, again, thank god no one was hurt but had these been different circumstances who knows what would have happened. Have no idea what caused the van to accelerate, and am really afraid of driving now.
