| Description of the problem | This is a public announcement!!! I have a 2015 hyundai genesis with only 63k miles on it. The rear brake lines busted without warning and hyundai refuses to cover repair under warranty or notify consumers that the brake lines can fail without warning!! This to me is a major safety issue! Thank god i was not on the highway! They're telling me its due to corrosion and the warranty is 5 years 60k miles! Are you kidding me... Im at 63k miles! Also, will cost me 4k because the whole rear end needs to be disassembled to replace both brake lines!!! This is disgusting! Be warned! I will take this to the public news!
