Braking problems

[Hotlink]

anyone had problems with the brakes on the Genesis getting :mushy" after you do a fast (emergency) stop??? If so, do you know what the source of the problem is?

Please let me know.

For 2009 t0 2012 models, have you had the brake fluid changed? You did not state what year model you have.

Model years 2009 to about 2012 (not sure when fixed) had problems with failure of the HECU (anti-lock braking control unit). To find other threads in this forum on this subject, Google using these terms:

• genesis hecu

There was a recall to replace the DOT-3 brake fluid with DOT-4, but that did not correct any existing HECU valve corrosion problems, or completely prevent future problems (only made future corrosion problems less likely).
