Description of the problem	On 7/1/2014 i was driving at approximately 35 mph when i put my foot on the brake of my 2010 hyundai genesis and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor of the car and the car did not stop. The next day i phoned hyundai about the incident and asked if i could bring the car in for a brake inspection. I was told do to 4th of july holiday they would not be able to look at the car. Since they would not make this a priority i took the car to my local mechanic for inspection on 7/3/14. The local mechanic was not able to determine the cause. Later that day the car had begun stopping as needed with no cause identified so i went back to normal driving but maintained feeling uncomfortable. I had forgotten that previously i had taken my car to hyundai service to have a safety recall performed on 1/27/2014 (recall #114) that specifically related this this as a possibility. The service involved replacing the brake fluid due to having too low of a boiling temperature leading to eventual corrosion of the hecu anti-lock braking component resulting in reduced stopping ability or complete failure of braking power which is what occurred. On 8/13/2014 once again i went to put my foot on the brake while driving and again my foot went straight to the floor and was unable to stop the vehicle resulting in me almost hitting another car in my work parking lot. I immediately took the car to the dealer insisting they perform a brake inspection. They determined after a few days that it was the hecu unit that needed replacement and proposed charging me $3500 for the repair later reducing that to $2500 when i complained that my vehicle had relatively low mileage and complete brake failure was unacceptable and their responsibility. The cost of repair and other expenses incurred (rental car) is completely hyundai's responsibility since lose of braking relates directly to safety recall #114.
