| Description of the problem | My 2011 genesis sedan (4. 6l v8) has an increasingly soft, spongy brake pedal past year or so. This occurs while driving in/out of my neighborhood, on busy nj highways, and when parked with engine running. Had rotors, pads, master cylinder and brake fluid replaced recently (~2 months ago; $1200; receipts available). Did not solve the problem. I feel unsafe driving the car and putting me/other drivers at risk. From researching the problem, including recently learning about the recall of 2009-2012 models for brake problems, i am guessing that either the brake booster and/or abs brake module are failing. I bought the car new and am its only owner. Car has only 73,000 careful miles on it. I'm reluctant to spend any more money. What can i do? |
