| Description of the problem | Breaks failed. Taking exit from highway and the car wouldn't stop as the breaks would work. Was very fortunate to have found gap between two lanes and avoided a major accident. Dealer confirmed the breaks failed and there have been numerous break failures reported with genessis. Had recently got breaks checked and was told 'every thing is fine'. Question is why didn't hyundai do a recall and proactively replace my break system? One whole day of suspense about how much it will cost me... And i was told hyundai would cover the cost of replacement as it was a known problem. Dealer called it 'goodwill warranty'. |
