| Description of the problem | On 9/16/15 the brakes on my 2009 hyundai genesis failed and the car would not stop as the brake pedal sank to the floor. I finally got the car to stop with excessive pumping of the brakes. On 9/16/15 i brought my car into jim ellis hyundai to fix the problem. The dealer inspected the car and couldn't replicate the issue i had experienced earlier in the day. The dealership ran diagnostics on the car and did not find any problems and now the brakes seem to be working fine. My car has 115,561 miles. This is the second visit to the dealership for this problem. On 04/30/15, i brought in the car for two recalls, one that included a brake fluid flush. A month later, i had a similar incident while driving on the highway that caused me to lose brake pressure. After a few days the problem subsided. I am seriously concerned about the safety of this automobile, especially after reading so many similar incidents already filed with the government. |
