Just recently my brakes have become extremely soft and the vehicle is slow to respond to braking. I have had the brakes pads replaced and still and extremely soft pedal with little to no braking reaction until I am almost to the floorboard. Like others have said there was a recall but my vehicle was not included. This happens every time and is not sporadic as some have stated.
Since purchasing the car, used, in 2014, we have had numerous, random instances where the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. It's happened in all types of weather and temperatures. We presently have around 76k miles. I've had the car in for checkups to our mechanic twice, with no findings. The problem happened again this morning, while my wife, who is 9mo pregnant was driving to work. Until today I did not research the issue online. I found today that our car was among the batch that did eventually get the fluid swap done(recall). Ours was done when we bought it. They did not inform us that the problem was actually the hecu unit. Today, I called our local Hyundai dealer, who told me they would be glad to replace it, but that we would be paying for it all. I have loved the car, but I'm fairly disgusted that Hyundai has so many documented cases of this part failing, yet will not replace it. The brake pedal, at any speed, randomly loses pressure, and goes all the way to the floor. Once there, they feel like the brake pads fell out. The vehicle stops, but very abruptly. Its terrifying. The last time it happened was roughly may 2018. Does not seem to matter if we are pulling out of the garage, riding through the neighborhood, or driving on the highway. Happens in all variety of situations. Tonight, we left the car at my in-laws because my wife is afraid to drive her own car.
