Husband driving at low speed, car in front of him stopped; brakes on sonata failed-hit brake pedal to the floor, but sonata still did not stop; car was at the dealer (savage hyundai) the week before for inspection and all was fine; husband hit car in front of him and that person hit another car. In addition, air bags did not deploy even though there was $6700 worth of front end damage; told dealer-said high hit; called hyundai-implied damage was high and perhaps air bags should have deployed, but make it very difficult to file a formal complaint; said we needed pictures, etc.; car was at the hyundai dealer being fixed; both hyundai dealer and hyundai corporate not making things easy.
