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?.
When I was braking, the passenger front brakes made a horrible metal on metal sound. I had a mechanic look at the brakes (to far from a Hyundai dealer). The mechanic could not find any problems. This. Has gone on for months. I had the brake pads replaced even though the original pads were still good. I finally took my car to the Hyundai dealer who explained to me (the rotors were extremely rusted and needed to be replaced) what, this sounds like a manufacturing issue. No, I had all rotors replaced and new brake pads all the way around. Guess what, still making the sound in the front passenger side.
