| Description of the problem | I have had my car for a couple years. Randomly, i got an alert while keeping regular maintenacnce on my car saying "check brakes" and "hybrid system warning". I brought it to the dealership and they said the "hecu, hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu)" is faulty. This is an issue with the hyundai genesis, but not an active recall on the 2013 sonata hybrid. However, i believe my model of car is affected by this issue, as well. The dealership said they could not do anything for me because there is not active recall, so i am reaching out to you to report this. I hope an investigation can take place for this because i know i am not the only one affected by this issue at no fault of my own. Thank you so much. |
