Brakes Failed problems of the 2011 Hyundai Genesis

Ibrake failure! hydraulic module assy failure was driving the vehicle and during the drive, my brake all of a sudden became soft and required me to push all the way to the floor to stop the car. I believe it's referred to as spongy brakes. I took the car to an independent mechanic shop and they diagnosed a faulty hydraulic module assembly. I also called the dealer and they mentioned there was a recall on the brake fluid due to its potential to cause corrosion in the brake system. The dealer is now quoting me ~$3,400 to repair and replace the hydraulic module assy. Wow!! I called Hyundai USA and they said since the car was out of warranty they would not cover the repair, I informed them of the recall on fluid and they said it does not cover the parts that were damaged by the bad fluid. This is unfair and excessive behavior on the part Hyundai. Clearly they recognized the fluid was damaging brake components but are unwilling to cover related repairs. The brakes on this car are an accident waiting to happening since the brakes are failing. I would not buy another Hyundai vehicle knowing they won't cover critical safety components. Others have voiced the same issue with no support from Hyundai .

Recall on car back in 2014 for brake failure. Improper fluid used causing abs assist module to fail resulting in soft break pedal. Purchased vehicle in 2014 used and never told of this issue after purchasing vehicle nor never sent any info. Electrical problems , drive seat wont respond , wind shield wipers randomly turning on . Tail lights not working also on recall. This notification also never sent to use resulting in the vehicle being rear ended last year . Passenger seat head rest deployed and not drivers. Car was fixed and a couple of weeks ago the passenger head reset deployed again hitting my daughter and at the same exploded and came of its frame landing in the back seat. Hyundia dealer wont do anything other than whats on recall now.

Steering is extremely tight and difficult to turn. Brake failure, had it checked out by the dealer who "fixed" it, however, the problem came back on after 3 weeks.

The brake pedal would become soft while driving and would travel to the floor with little to no stopping power. Several times both on city streets and freeways the vehicle became difficult to slow or stop and almost resulted in several collisions. The vehicle had been recalled and previously serviced with new brake fluid per NHTSA campaign 13v489000. At 59,000 miles I had alerted the Hyundai service department about the brake failure. They were unable to reproduce the problem. The problem persisted and now they were able to reproduce the issue. The intermittent failure of the brake system is life threatening and needs to be addressed. Their is quite obviously degradation of the brake system components due to the original brake fluid not having corrosion inhibitors.
