Service brakes
I purchased a new 2024 Hyundai Kona in September 2023 and followed its scheduled maintenance program. By August 12, 2026, I had noticed mild, intermittent excessive brake-pedal travel, especially at low speeds. I reported it to the dealer that day; September 14 was their earliest available appointment. By September 14, the pedal drop was more pronounced and frequent at low speeds. The dealer inspected the brakes and reported no abnormality. A technician verbally acknowledged some downward pedal movement but reportedly considered it acceptable. No cause was identified or repair made. By September 16, the problem had become persistent and severe: approximately the first 90% of pedal travel…

If there had been, I canât say for sure what would have happened,…

This occurs regardless of the time of day, weather conditions, or whether I am sitting upright or reclining. The warning randomly activates and deactivates, sometimes without any intervention.

I have…
