Description of the problem	Car brakes failed to slow car in emergency traffic on highway, brakes were working fine then the pedal went to the flood and almost hit the car ahead. Rear brakes were new, replaced front pads, but brake pedal still goes to the floor. There was a recall for genesis hcu , which has the same part as this car, the cost of repair is $3000. The car has 39000 miles , i believe the car has a defective hcu, similar to the sister car the genisis which was recalled. It is dangerous to drive, the repair cost is enormous and forces people to keep driving with defective brakes. Driving without needing to stop suddenly the car works fine. Only when traffic stops suddenly do you notice the need to put the foot to the floor , and it takes 100 extra feet to stop. This is after replacing all pads and having the system checked. At the brake shop. I drive less than 500 miles a month and have had 2 near accidents.
