| Description of the problem | My genesis has less than 26,000 miles on it. Three days ago the brakes failed. The garage stated that it was master cylinder for the brakes. Today they called and stated that the hydraulic control unit also needs to be changed out. My wife was traveling at approximately 45 miles per hour when she attempted to slow the car down for an intersection. She was on lewis ave. In temperance mi. The brake pedal went to the floor board. It did eventually slow the car enough and she was able to exit into a parking lot. At this point we had the car towed to a garage. |
