| Description of the problem | Problem: upon applying brakes, reduced brake pressure & longer pedal travel, feeling like master cylinder problem- although brakes continued to work with greater effort. Nov. 2013 received hyundai safety recall notice 13v-113: replace stop lamp switch and flush/refill brake fluid. Dealer completed service noc 30, 2013. Dealer said that master cylinder needed replacement. Service performed dec. 5, 2013. Dealer then said hydraulic electronic control unit needed replacement. (parts ordered.) i feel that my brake problems were caused by the manufacturer installing inadequate/faulty brake fluid. The repairs need to be done at the manufacturer's expense. |
