| Description of the problem | The brake pedal travel is very long. I must begin the stopping process much earlier than previous. The dealer diagnosed a failed hecu. The vehicle is only a few miles and one month out of warranty. Hyundai motor america had an inspection campaign for genesis hecu units, but not equus. How can the hecu be properly inspected without disassembling the unit? Hyundai should replace the failed hecu. |
