I bought a CRDI ASTA Diesel I20 from a dealer in my home state of Maharashtra in September 2011. From the day of its purchase I have been facing problems regarding the braking system of the car. Whenever brakes are applied suddenly over a bumpy road, the brakes seem to be failing as either the brake pedal gets stiff and hits the foot back or there is a momentary and complete loss of braking power.
Whenever this happens my heart just stops beating for awhile and my blood pressure shoots up. I am scared to take this car out on the roads. When I took up this matter with the Company service center, I was given no satisfactory reply.
It sure is one hell of a major problem and I came to know from few other sources that the problem lies in the faulty ABS system provided by the accessory manufacturing vendor of Hyundai Cars and that the Company is probably unaware of the magnitude and the gravity of this problem.
Please do join me in raising this issue with the Company if you own this type of car and have faced similar problems.
