Brake pedal suddenly becomes soft. Front brake pads were replaced 10/15/19. Problem corrected for three month. Pedal suddenly very soft without warning. Car will stop but not as expected. Dangerous if not anticipated. Diagnosed as hydraulic control module. Estimated cost to repair $3800.
Brakes are spongy. 63000 miles. Brake pads are at 70% on the back and 50% on the front. Brake fluid level is ok. When using the brake pedal it seems to come to a stop and then I am able to push down more. Pushing down more is what is required to stop thevehicle.
As I was driving down a major street traveling around 35 mph, the car in front of me began to stop. As I began to apply the brakes, my car's pedal went to the floor. I pumped the brakes a few times and began to get some pressure, but I was not able to stop in time before rear ending the car in front of me. I never knew what the issue was and I couldn't get the problem to duplicate, but the brake pedal was soft since that day. I have changed the pads, and rotors, so those are not the issue. This week, my fuel pump went out and I took the car to the mechanic for that issue. My mechanic informed me that the car needed an abs pump. The dealers are well aware of the issue because when we checked the price of the part ($2600), the parts agent immediately knew the problem. There are numerous complaints online about the exact same issue. This is truly a safety issue for these cars. There are many complaints online with the same problem!!!!!!!.
Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe. The contact reviewed a service campaign consent letter from the manufacturer which indicated that the the hecu was to be serviced and replaced for all Genesis vehicles but when the contact called the manufacturer they specified that the Genesis coupe was not included in that manufacturer campaign. Contact stated that there was a random progressing failure in which the brake pedal was applied and it was slow to respond. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop who drained the brakes, replaced the brake pads and serviced the brake system. The dealer was notified of the brake system failure and indicated that the independent repair shop had not completed the repair correctly. The contact notified the repair shop and they stated the repair was completed correctly. The manufacturer refused to service the hecu system pertaining to the service campaign so the contact was unable to determine a permanent remedy for the condition. The vehicle was parked due to the failure. The contact was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v113000 (exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic) and 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 66,500. Dyd.
