Description of the problem	Hello. So i am driving hyundai sonata 2012 since february 2015. I bough it used with approximately 42000 miles. When i bough a car i didn't pay attention but realized that braking on low speeds downhill or on flat surface - brakes would go all the way down to the floor. At around 55000 miles i replaced front brake pads and rotors and did brake fluid change, and then later i replaced rear brake pads and rotors. The issues still is there. At 107000 miles i recently changed again front pads and rotors and the problem still exists. The dealer said that it it fault hecu unit. I saw that there is recall #13v489000 for hyundai genesis with what appears like exact same problem. Is there a chance that my vehicle is affected by that recall? Or that you have some complains from other owners or current investigation on this matter?
