What owners say
Brakes failed, brake pedal goes to the floor. Its very difficult to stop the vehicle and sometimes I end up not being able to stop and have to go through the red light or into the ditch. The dealership looked at the car and said that it is the hecu. I have seen numerous realls for hyundai vehicles for the hecu including the 2011 , 2012 genesis. And now more hyundais are being recalled this car needs to be recalled !

Genesis coupe has been to the mechanic three times for brake failure. The rotors, pads, and calipers were replaced the first time and the brakes still didnt work. The second and third time the brake lines were bled, and the brakes still failed. The brake pedal loses pressure and pushes all the way down to the ground while driving causing inability to brake the car. Mechanic says the problem may be hecu as with the prior recall for genesis sedans. There are no other bases for the failure that he can find.
While driving when I go to stop or slow down the brake pedal goes to the floor. It's real hard to stop the car, I brought it to the dealer and I was told that it's the hecu a 3,000 $ fix. I know that other genesis owners have complained of the same problem. It's very dangerous for me and other vehicles around me. I know that hyundai has recalled other vehicles for this problem due to faulty brake fluid that distroys the hecu. It sure seems to be what happened to mine.
