| Description of the problem | This complaint is in junction with the brake fluid recall for hyundai genesis. Had to step on my break all the way to the floor in order to stop vehicle. Almost crashed into car ahead of me. Took vehicle immediately to dealership. Notified by dealer that the hydraulic electric control unit needs replacement. Did research and realized most likely due to the corrosive brake fluid that is a known recall. Dealership is being difficult in replacing hecu even though it is clearly related to the corrosive brake fluid recall. This is a serious safety hazard as if i was driving faster or braked later it could have been a multi vehicle accident. |
