WAS DRIVING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP, TOWING COMPANY LITERALLY DRAGGED THE CAR ONTO TOW TRUCK. SPOKE WITH MECHANIC AND HE SAID THEY HAVE AN 05 IN SHOP FOR SAME THING, THEY ARE PRETTY SURE IT IS THE HECU WHICH CAUSED A RECALL IN HYUNDAI GENESIS, BUT NO RECALL ON OTHER MAKES

WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR ON A HIGHWAY THE BRAKES BECAME STUCK AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT MOVE ANY DIRECTION. IT WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED BUT WAS TOLD THIS BRAKES WILL COST OVER $1000.00 BECAUSE OF AN ABF? NEEDED.

BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PUSH, INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ROLL ON ITS OWN AND BRAKE NEEDS TO BE REAPPLIED.THIS WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR UNTIL PEDAL IS ALMOST AT THE FLOOR.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN INFORMED THAT BOTH BREAK LIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AN I NO LONGER HAVE ANY BREAK LIGHT TO SIGNAL IF I WAS BREAKING. I TOOK CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT THE FUSES NOR WAS IT THE STOP SWITCH THAT IS CAUSING IT TO MALFUNCTION. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WIRING ISSUE OF THE CAR. I THEN WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE TYPE OF VECHILE THAT I HAVE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THE VEHICLE
