Description of the problem	Ibrake failure! Hydraulic module assy failure was driving the vehicle and during the drive, my brake all of a sudden became soft and required me to push all the way to the floor to stop the car. I believe it's referred to as spongy brakes. I took the car to an independent mechanic shop and they diagnosed a faulty hydraulic module assembly. I also called the dealer and they mentioned there was a recall on the brake fluid due to its potential to cause corrosion in the brake system. The dealer is now quoting me ~$3,400 to repair and replace the hydraulic module assy. Wow!! I called hyundai usa and they said since the car was out of warranty they would not cover the repair, i informed them of the recall on fluid and they said it does not cover the parts that were damaged by the bad fluid. This is unfair and excessive behavior on the part hyundai. Clearly they recognized the fluid was damaging brake components but are unwilling to cover related repairs. The brakes on this car are an accident waiting to happening since the brakes are failing. I would not buy another hyundai vehicle knowing they won't cover critical safety components. Others have voiced the same issue with no support from hyundai.
