| Description of the problem | I experienced brakes issues with my 2009 hyundai genesis on 31 oct 13. Driving home from work, i had to push my brakes all the way to the ground and pump them several times to get the vehicle to stop. I called the hyundai dealership to get an appointment for my car, they were able to see my car on 4 nov 13 (today). I received a call from the hyundai representative (waldorf, md - store #md041) this morning notifying me that my car's brake system - hydraulic electronic control unit is failing. This seems to happening more often to these particular cars. I was told the brake fluid was replaced in my car in march 2013. The change of the brake fluid was to prevent this from happen. The brake fluid did not prevent this from happening to my vehicle. I believe hyundai should recall/fix the faulty hydraulic electronic control unit for the hyundai genesis versus the customers paying a $3,000. 00 bill which is unnecessary. |
