Description of the problem	My 2011 hyundai genesis is experiencing braking failure. I have almost had accidents due to my car's inability to come to a stop in a reasonable time, especially when following vehicles that come to a sudden stop. The pedal depresses almost to the floor and is very spongy. The problem is intermittent but consistent. I researched the issue and found that there was a recall related to this issue, but for some reason, hyundai excluded my vin despite it falling within the manufacture period of hyundai cars experiencing the issue. I took the car to the hyundai dealership and they diagnosed a failed abs system, specifically stating that the internal seals of the hecu (esc unit) were worn causing poor sealing. This may be related to the corrosive brake fluid that they replaced for their campaign tl6. Under hyundai's recall campaign 114, the hecu system should have been inspected and repaired or replaced in addition to changing the fluid. Hyundai merely replaced the fluid. This has caused a dangerous situation with my braking system that could have been avoided.
