| Description of the problem | My wife was driving our 2009 hyundai genesis eastbound on the florida turnpike at approximately 75 mph. A vehicle put on their brakes ahead of the car and my wife went to apply her brakes and the pedal went nearly to the floor causing her to nearly lose control of the vehicle before braking action finally activated. I immediately took the vehicle to our local hyundai dealership and was presented with a $2375 repair bill for a failed abs control module. I have since learned that this is a recurring failure with the genesis model and a recall is currently in effect for these vehicles on the brake system. This is a critical safety issue that must be addressed immediately! |
