Hi all,

I have a strange problem with my car and wanted to check if anyone else face this, since I am not able to find a solution.

So whenever I have hit a pothole or some deformity in the road and I need to break immediately after that for some reason the brakes locks up.
 I had this happen to me a few times, so it wasn’t one off problem.

Since then, I have replaced all 4 tyre and brake pads.

I have showed the car to hyundai service center, they ran all computer checks and said there was no issue with ABS. Same from a local garage.

It’s very strange. I want to sell the car but I feel morally obliged to solve the issue before selling.


I bought the car approved used from Hyundai 1-2 years ago. It’s a 2013 1.4 Hyundai i30 classic. (It had only driven 23k and had 4+ owners, perhaps that was my clue, but it didn’t click then)

Thanks

To be clear are you saying braking is normally fine, but after the car has had a jolt then they lock up next time you brake?

One wheel?

That’s exactly what is happening.

I can’t pin point which wheel, but it locks up and I have to repeatedly brake to get control over the car

Wow! That's crazy. Can't say I've ever heard of that fault before.

That’s what is mind boggling. For the life of me, I can’t figure out the issue.

The car had 4 owners within 22k miles. Doesn’t sound normal.

Yes, that is highly unusual and does ring a few alarm bells!

My old car had 4 owners within 2 years. 1st was the dealer, because they pre-registered it under their name. I was registered as the 2nd owner, which was a mistake because it should have been registered to the lease company. When lease company finally twigged, they became the 3rd owner, then when I bought it at the end of the lease, I became the 4th owner.

In summary, 4 owners in 2 years, but apart from the first 327 miles, it was in my care the whole time.

Cool - makes sense.
Still can’t find answer to the problem, I was hoping someone here might be familiar to such issue.
