Antilock braking system has issues. On two separate occasions when stopping at an intersection with significant potholes the car shook and wouldn't come to a stop no matter how hard the brake was depressed. It would not come to a stop and had to take foot off the brake and press down hard again for it to respond.

We were driving down a rough road about 15-20mph coming to a stop sign when I started breaking the ABS breaks engaged and I could not stop the vehicle in time and almost got hit by oncoming traffic. After that event the car breaking system worked properly. I did not notice any warning lights on dash board. I have called the dealer waiting on a response.
While driving at slow speeds over bumps or potholes the vehicle shakes and doesn't stop. I have to remove my foot from the brake and smash the pedal to the floor. It happens at least once a week. The dealership hasn't seen it yet. I drive with my two kids in the car 90% of the time so it is a major concern.
Experience weird braking on bumps, potholes, sand, etc. Car won't stop normally when this problem activates. Very unsafe. Brake pedal starts "vibrating" when this is happening. It wont brake normally. There is no warning lights. No issues other than this.
Yesterday at roughly 6:25 PM while while coming to a stop traveling about 7-10 mph the braking system failed to stop the vehicle. The ABS system went off violently and the steering wheel and entire vehicle shook violently. It was as if the braking system completely stopped responding mid stop. The vehicle was within 3 feet of hi…

Yesterday at roughly 6:25 PM while while coming to a stop traveling about 7-10 mph the braking system failed to stop the vehicle. The ABS system went off violently and the steering wheel and entire vehicle shook violently. It was as if the braking system completely stopped responding mid stop. The vehicle was within 3 feet of hitting another vehicle. Well, this vehicle has exhibited these symptoms before it is usually only a shuttering, and the vehicle comes to a stop nearly normally. However, this time it did not Stop and continued forward. This has been inspected by the dealership once before with nothing found.

In two instances overbthe last week, my wife has experienced her antilock brake system (ABS) initiating on dry, flat, asphalt pavement. The ABS deployment was obviously unexpected and caused the vehicle to shake abruptly and kept the vehicle from coming to a stop as quickly ad it should have. There seems to be an issue with the ABS system and is causing dangerous situations on the roadway.
Seems the ABS system kicks in when it really should not. Just driving slowly and hitting a pothole and or going over a speed bump or something similar while braking will cause the ABS system to kick on and make the vehicle go further before actually stopping. This happened multiple times and two times I almost hit someone due t…

Seems the ABS system kicks in when it really should not. Just driving slowly and hitting a pothole and or going over a speed bump or something similar while braking will cause the ABS system to kick on and make the vehicle go further before actually stopping. This happened multiple times and two times I almost hit someone due to the ABS coming on and not stopping my vehicle in time. The vehicle will shake a bit and make a loud noise when this happened. The vehicle has been inspected and was told it is working as intended. Which I find hard to believe. Our Subaru does not do this. No warning lights are on. It is just a very unsafe thing to happen.
I bought this car 7/23/2024 and on 7/28/24 I noticed my coolant was almost empty after looking under the hood. I filled it myself and I took it back to the dealer to have it checked. They said everything was fine. Told myself I would just keep an eye on it. 8/11/2024 checked again and it went from full line to low line. Took …

I bought this car 7/23/2024 and on 7/28/24 I noticed my coolant was almost empty after looking under the hood. I filled it myself and I took it back to the dealer to have it checked. They said everything was fine. Told myself I would just keep an eye on it. 8/11/2024 checked again and it went from full line to low line. Took it back to dealership and they check it out again but explained coolant does fluctuate. Decided to keep an eye on it again because they say everything is fine. Today 8/26/24 checked my coolant again and it was completely empty! Not one drop of pink fluid was in the coolant container. Taking it back to the dealership AGAIN! We will see what happens this time.
See attached document for complaint.

My mom and children were in the car at the time, if there was no car infront of us we would not have stopped and would have ended up in an intersection and could have been tboned or if we going faster anti front end collision would not have been able to stop us and would could have been injured or worse ! The car has been brought in twice to two seperate Hyundai dealerships for diagnosis, they were unable to diagnosis anything.
