| Description of the problem | Brakes are very mushy. Often going to floor without stopping. Have to pump brakes to stop. Dealer says the hec unit needs to be replaced (part is $3500). This 2011 hyundai genesis was built in during time frame of earlier recall because hyundai was using corrosive brake fluid. Earlier models were recalled but mine was not? Why? Now that 6 years have passed, the corrosive brake fluid is now causing later models to fail. All models built during the time frame in which corrosive brake fluid was used should be recalled and mfg should be responsible for replacement of the hec unit ... Not just the brake fluid. All questionable vehicles should have been recalled in the first recall. |
