Description of the problem	On october 23rd, 2019, the brakes on my 2012 hyundai genesis r-spec sedan suddenly failed with the brake pedal going all the way to the floor before the vehicle eventually stopped luckily avoiding an accident. I was driving on the highway. The vehicle has 79k miles. I then took the car to the hyundai dealer in st. Louis park, mn and they determined that the brake master cylinder was faulty and replaced. The diagnosis and repair did not fix the issue as the brake pedal was still spongy and going to the floor intermittently. I will be taking the car back to the dealer to have them fix it correctly. While researching the issue, i have found that multiple other owners of the same car have experienced this issue and the dealer had to replace the abs hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu) as it contained corrosion within the unit due to bad design which causes hydraulic braking failure to occur at any time. This campaign/recall below outlines the issue which i am going to present to the dealer to fix correctly as i am still under warranty. To me, this is a life or death type failure and could result in injuries. Hyundai should be responsible for replacing all abs hecu before lives are lost for all 2009-2012 hyundai genesis, not just some vins that they deemed troublesome. They should take responsibility for all cars and immediately contact their owners.
