While traveling at about 10mph in a parking lot the brake pedal went to the floor when I tried to stop. There was minimal braking. The brakes started to work normally and then failed again within minutes. The car was then towed to the dealer. The dealer said there was no recall on my car and so did Hyundai. I researched the NHTSA data base and found the recall related to brake failures in the Genesis which would have affected my car. I have never received a recall notice even though my car was produced 3/24/12 and according to NHTSA all cars produced up to and including 3/28/12 were to have been recalled.

I was driving at a speed of around 35 to 40 mph on a street (that's not highway). I was maintaining a proper distance too from the car in front of me. For some reason the car in front of me stopped suddenly. I responded immediately, but the braking was so soft and I felt like nothing has been done and I bumped into the car ahead of me. I really thought at the time of the incident that, something was not right, but didn't think too much into it. A day after I heard these recall news and I can now totally relate my case with the descriptions of other victims.
