| Description of the problem | On 5/11/15 the brakes on my 2010 hyundai genesis failed and the car would not stop as the brake pedal sank to the floor. On 5/12/15 i brought my car into global auto mall and drove very slowly to the dealer, pumping the brakes at every stop along the way to get the car to stop. Global auto mall diagnosed the problem and replaced the master brake cylinder assembly under warranty. My car had 45,381 miles on it at the time. On 8/29/15 the brakes on my 2010 hyundai genesis failed again and the car would not stop as the brake pedal sank to the floor. On 8/31/15 i brought my car into global auto mall driving very slowly to the dealer, pumping the brakes at every stop along the way to get the car to stop. My car had 49,179 miles on it at the time. Global auto mall has stated that after running diagnostics on the car they did not find any problems and now the brakes are working fine. A recall on the braking fluid that caused corrosion on the abs module was performed on my car already, but there is no way for the technician to actually check for corrosion inside the abs assembly. I do not feel that the car is safe to drive and the brakes are going to fail again, as nothing was repaired on my vehicle. |
