| Description of the problem | Had to brake hard to avoid debris on hwy exit. Following that the brake pedal began to intermittently fade noticeably. Within 2 weeks it became a chronic issue. Had the brake fluid flushed and replace. No better, had brakes replaced, no better, had the master cylinder and booster replaced, and again no better. I have spent several hundred to resolve this problem. Recently read an on-line forum where many genesis owners are reporting similar problems with similar problems narrowing it down. The consensus appears to be that the abs controller is faulty and at a cost of almost $3000 to repair. This is totally unsatisfactory! It isn't just the outrageous cost, but a safety item should not fail as frequently as they appear to be and not on a car that is still relatively "new". |
