Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY USED PRE-CERTIFIED HYUNDAI GENESIS 20 11 CAR IN FEBRUARY 2014 AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER I FOUND THAT MY BRAKES WHICH ORIGINALLY WERE FIRM WOULD GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR OR NEARLY TO THE FLOOR WITHIN 6 MONTHS I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE CAR AND FOUND THAT IN 2013 HYUNDAI CORPORATION ISSUED A RECALL ON THE ABS SYSTEM DO 2 CORROSIVE BRAKE FLUID THAT WAS COULD POTENTIALLY CORRODE THE ABS SYSTEM AND 2013 THE BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED ON MY CAR PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. HOWEVER HYUNDAI DID NOT INSPECT WHETHER ABS SYSTEMS HAD ALREADY BEEN DAMAGED BY THIS CORROSIVE BRAKE FLUID AND MERELY REPLACED IT MY CAR HAS AN ABS SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN TESTED AND IT FAILS. THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY CAR NEARLY TOUCHES THE FLOOR AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR SAFELY. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN RECENTLY AND JUST MISSED HITTING A CAR THAT STOPPED SUDDENLY.
