| Description of the problem | My h. E. C. U. Is failing just like the recall 13v48900 states.. My brakes have on three occasions failed which almost resulted in a serious accident. I brought this to hyundai attention. But they tell me there's nothing they can do about it. It's on me. Now my car is up for inspection and it won't pass because of this issue.. It will cost me $500. 00 for the mechanic to replace the master cylinder just to pass inspection... If there's a defect in the fluid which causes corrosion, and now the master cylinder and h. E. C. U. Are not holding pressure.. The recall states this is a common problem,,why do i have to be made pay for something that is a well documented defect.. If i or a member of my family get into an accident hyundai has been made aware of issue. *js |
