  ON 11/5/13, I RECEIVED EMAIL NOTICED FROM NHTSA'S ODI OF CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V489. UPON CLICKING THE LINK I WAS PROVIDED FURTHER INFORMATION INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: "HYUNDAI WILL INSPECT THE HECU MODULE FOR PROPER OPERATION, AND WILL REPLACE THE MODULES AS NECESSARY." AFTER RECEIVING A NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL (13V113), I CONTACTED HYUNDAI, AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE RECALL SERVICE FOR BOTH CAMPAIGNS DONE AT CAROUSEL HYUNDAI, WEST CHESTER, PA ON 12/17/2013. CAROUSEL INSISTED THE BRAKE FLUID SERVICE WAS BASED DID NOT INCLUDE COMPONENT INSPECTION BASED ON SERVICE BULLETIN 13-01-006-02, AND FAILED TO PERFORM AN INSPECTION, BUT NOTED ON MY INVOICE "COMPLETED CAMPAIGN TL6 AS REQUIRED." ON 12/30/13, I CONTACTED HYUNDAI BY TELEPHONE, ASKED WHY THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER INFORMATION TO PERFORM THE INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE ON 12/17/13. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT IF I WANTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS INSPECTED FOR CORROSION DAMAGE, I WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN ADDITIONAL RECALL SERVICE. SINCE NHTSA PROVIDED ME WITH THE PROPER RECALL INFORMATION FOR THIS CAMPAIGN ON 11/5/13, IT IS NOT CLEAR WHY HYUNDAI FAILED TO PROVIDED THIS INFORMATION TO THEIR AUTHORIZED SERVICE NETWORK UNTIL AFTER 12/17/13, MORE THAN 30 DAYS LATER, RESULTING IN IMPROPER SERVICING TO COMPLETE THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN. MANY CONSUMERS ARE UNLIKELY TO CHALLENGE THE LACK OF INSPECTION AND MAY THEREFORE CONTINUE DRIVING VEHICLES THAT ARE IMPROPERLY SERVICED, AND PRESENT A POTENTIAL LIFE SAFETY AND COLLISION DAMAGE RISK. MEANWHILE, I WILL BE REQUIRED TO WAIT LONGER AND SPEND ADDITIONAL TIME TO HAVE THE PROPER SERVICING PERFORMED. CAROUSEL DID TAKE THE TIME TO INFORM ME ABOUT OTHER, UNRELATED, SERVICING THEY RECOMMENDED, AND OFFERED TO PERFORM FOR A FEE. *TR

• 12/28/2013· SEAT BELTSCrash

  MY VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE REAR WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY ON THE EXIT RAMP APPROACHING A STATE HWY. ,TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH AT THE TIME.THE IMPACT DEPLOYED THE HEADRESTS BUT THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT RESTRAIN THE DRIVER OR THE PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CAUSING HEAD TRAUMA TO THE DRIVER.AS A RESULT OF HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DRIVER WAS TAKEN , BY AMBULANCE,TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. THAT DAY I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE INSPECTED ( SEAT BELTS AND HEAD REST) AT A LOCAL DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THE HEAD RESTS BE RE-SET. HYUNDAI REFUSED TO ALLOW THE DEALER TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE AND HIRED A 3RD PARTY ENGINEERING FIRM TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE INSPECTION WAS PERFORM AT MY LOCAL DEALER AND I WAS PRESENT DURING THE INSPECTION ( MEASUREMENTS ONLY WERE TAKEN). HYUNDAI CONTACTED ME AND SAID THAT SEAT BELTS AND HEAD RESTS WERE FOUND TO BE OPERATING ACCORDING TO DESIGN. THEY ALSO DIRECTED ME TO SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE FOR MY REQUESTED CRASH TEST DATE WHICH THEY DID NOT SUPPLY. I CHECKED THE WEBSITE AND ONLY FOUND ROLLOVER, FRONTAL AND SIDE CRASH DATA. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE NHTSA REVIEW TEST DATA FOR REAR END COLLISIONS WITH BOTH VEHICLES MOVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25-30 MPHFOR 1ST VEHICLE AND 40 MPH FOR THE 2ND VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THE HEADRESTS WILL DEPLOY BUT THE SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RESTRAIN THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CANNOT BE KNOWN TO THE GENESIS OWNERS UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. I DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO HAVE THE ENGINEERING DONE TO PROVE MY POSITION BUT NHTSA HAS THE DATA OR CAN CONDUCT THE APPROPRIATE TESTS TO SAVE ANOTHER UNKNOWING OWNER FROM POSSIBLE SEVERE INJURY. HYUNDAI 'S RESPONSE WAS THAT THE VEHICLE MET ALL THE FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS. *TR

  The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that while his girlfriend was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The driver was forced to apply the parking brake to stop the vehicle. His girlfriend was able to drive the vehicle home while the parking brake light remained illuminated on the instrument panel, even after releasing the parking brake. The contact called the dealer and was informed that his vehicle was already serviced prior under NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V489000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) for the same failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and provided him with the same information as the dealer. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 154,850.

  HAVE 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS AND HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE CAR PULLING TO THE LEFT AND THEN THE RIGHT. HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP OVER 5 TIMES, MULTIPLE REPAIRS OF ALIGNMENT AND CAN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE. I EVEN HAD 3 INDEPENDENT SHOPS EVALUATE AND THEN CONFIRM ISSUE AND NOW HYUNDAI STATES THEY CAN NO LONGER CONFIRM PROBLEM. THEY WERE SURPRISED WHEN I PRODUCED THE INDEPENDENT OPINIONS. I WILL NOT PLACE MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE. HYUNDAI NEEDS SOME PRESSURE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND THEIR BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN APPALLING. I REALIZED THIS ISSUE THE DAY AFTER I PICKED UP THE CAR AND HYUNDAI HAS BEEN VERY RESISTANT TO HELP BUT I THINK IT IS BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

  "I WAS SUBJECTED TO A SUDDEN ACCELERATION LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS 4.6. I LEFT A FULL STOP AND SIGHTED ANOTHER CAR SPEEDING TOWARD A STOP SIGN COMING FROM MY LEFT. TO AVOID BEING BROADSIDED I SWERVED TO AVOID AND MY ACCELERATOR JAMMED. I SPED ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO A LANDSCAPED AREA. I HIT A TREE AT THAT POINT WHICH BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND I WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT. I SUSTAINED SOME IMPACT INJURIES THAT APPEAR TO BE OF A MINOR NATURE. A LAKE WAS LOCATED JUST BEYOND THE TREE AND I DELIBERATELY SELECTED THE MEDIUM SIZE TREE AS A TARGET. I WAS FORTUNATE. I SUSTAINED A BACK INJURY SOME YEARS AGO AND DRIVE WITH TWO FEET - ONE FOR THE ACCELERATOR AND ONE FOR THE BRAKE. THERE WAS THEREFORE NO CHANCE THAT MY FOOT SLIPPED FROM ONE PEDAL TO THE OTHER.

  BRAKES ARE A CONTINUING PROBLEM OR BETTER SAID BAD BRAKES, LIKE SOMETIMES GOING TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE ESC DASH LIGHT IS ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK EITHER. I HAD COMPLETED A RECALL ON THE BRAKE FLUID,BUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT MY MY PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BEING CONCERNED, I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE ROTORS, BRAKE LINES AND PADS. UPON BLEEDING THE SYSTEM, THE DEALERS NEW BRAKE FLUID CAME OUT WITH SLUDGE FLOATING ON TOP OF CLEAR FLUID. I CONTACTED THE DEALERS GENERAL MGR. AND COMPLAINED OF A BAD DRAIN REPAIR. HE ASKED ME TO BRING MY CAR IN AND THEY'LL CHECK IT AGAIN. I SHOWED HIM THE PICTURES AND THEY DENIED THAT IT CAME FROM MY CAR, BUT THEY WOULD FIX MY CAR'S BRAKES FOR $2700.00 WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULDN'T COST MORE. THIS WAS TOM AH DEALER SHIP IN LIMA, OHIO. I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE BRAKE PROBLEMS.I HAVE THE FLUID SAVED AND PICTURES ALSO. UPON CHECKING THE INTERNET, I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE ESC AND CRUISE CONTROL IS WIRED TO THE ABS SYSTEM. I WAS ON INTERSTATE 75 AND THE CAR JUST STARTED APPLYING THE BRAKES BY THEMSELVES. A RATCHETING ON OFF EFFECT. I SLOWED THE CAR DOWN AND PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE. I WAS WITHIN SIGHT OF MY TURNOFF STATE RTE 274 OH, SO I CONTINUED ON. I WENT TO STOP AND MY PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS GOING SLOW, MADE MY TURN AND STOPPED. I GOT UNDER THE HOOD JUST TO SEE IF SOMETHING VISUAL WAS THERE. I WAS WITHIN 7 MILES OF MY HOME A STRAIGHT LINE, SO I WENT FOR IT. I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP. I BACKED UP AND WENT FORWARD AGAIN, SHUTTING OFF THE CAR & RESTARTING IT. BRAKE WAS RELEASED, BUT PETAL STILL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I DROVE HOME 20 MPH, HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID, BUT CHARGED $677.00. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, MY PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. THATS WHEN I DID THE REPAIRS NOTED ABOVE. STILL HAVE PROBLEMS.

THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2009 GENESIS BUT SINCE THEY HAD CHECKED IT IN 2014 IT WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR US. THIS WAS NOT TRUE AND OTHERS MAY HAVE THE PROBLEM IF THE ABS SYSTEM IS NOT REPLACED.

WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. IMMEDIATELY I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND FORTUNATELY THE BRAKES SLOWED DOWN THE CAR UNTIL IT CAME TO A STOP ALMOST AT THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. IT WAS A BLESSING THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR CROSSING THE INTERSECTION AT THE TIME. DROVE HOME VERY SLOWLY AND TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE CENTER.

• 12/15/2014· SERVICE BRAKES

  THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN APPLIED, TRAVELED WELL BEYOND THE NORMAL POINT OF STOPPING, ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS AND RESULTS WERE GREATLY DIMINISHED AND THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY "SPONGY"/NOT FIRM AS NORMAL. IN AN EMERGENCY STOPPING SITUATION, THE CAR SIMPLY COULD NOT HAVE STOPPED IN TIME TO AVOID COLLISION. THIS WAS NOT AN INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCE. ONCE THE SYMPTOM MANIFESTED ITSELF, IT HAS DONE DO CONSISTENTLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO THE HUMBLE TX HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHICH HAS IDENTIFIED THE HECU COMPONENT AS THE PROBLEM, AND NOT THE MASTER CYLINDER.

  AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAD COME TO A STOP AND NOTICED THE CAR STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY MOVING TOWARD THE FLOOR. I THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY LOW BRAKE FLUID, BUT CHECKED IT AND IT WAS FINE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND SEEMED TO SLOWLY GET WORSE. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE AND REPAIR OF THE BRAKE RELATED RECALL ITEMS. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED THE ABS CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $2400.

IT WAS CORRECTED THE NEXT DAY AFTER MY CAR WAS LEFT UNTIL FIXED. I WAS JUST NOTIFIED BY NHTSA THAT A RECALL ( CAMPAIGN # 14V713) WAS JUST ISSUED FOR FAULTY STOPLIGHT PROBLEM. I CALLED MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER TO SEE ABOUT RE-IMBURSEMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL ISSUED YET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS GIVEN THE # FOR CUSTOMER CARE. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS BEING WORKED ON ( CAMPAIGN 125) AND THAT I WOULD BE RECEIVING A LETTER IN THE FUTURE. I ASKED IF THAT WOULD BE IN DAYS,WEEKS , MONTHS OR YEARS ,HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW. REMEMBER THE BRAKE FLUID RECALL ! NOW HERE WE GO AGAIN...........A SAFETY ISSUE BUT NOT A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR HYUNDAI. YOU WOULD THINK THAT AN IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION WOULD GO OUT TO EACH DEALER SO EVERY VEHICLE THAT THEY SERVICE COULD BE BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION. THIS COULD PREVENT A FUTURE REAR COLLISION AND POSSIBLE INJURY/ DEATH. IS THIS YET ANOTHER INDUSTRY STONE WALLING OF A" SAFETY ISSUE " IE KEY SWITCH AND AIR BAG. HOPEFULLY A FELLOW GENESIS OWNER WILL NOT HAVE A SERIOUS REAR END COLLISION IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *TR

• 11/25/2014· SEAT BELTS,SEATSCrash

  I AM FILING ANOTHER COMPLAINT TO RECORD THIS CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUE BASED ON ALL THE RECENT COVER-UPS BY THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. ON NOV 10TH,2013 MY VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE REAR WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A SPEED SLIGHTLY FASTER THEN MY VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE HIT US, THE HEADRESTS DEPLOYED MOVING OUR HEADS FORWARD BUT THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT RESTRAIN BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD TRAUMA AS A RESULT. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTORS ABOUT THIS SERIOUS CONDITION AND AFTER MANY LETTERS THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE MET ALL THE TEST DATA IN A COLLISION. WHAT THEY DIDN'T SAY IS THAT THERE ISN'T A TEST FOR REAR COLLISIONS REQUIRED BY THE NHTSB. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE HEADRESTS AND THE FUNCTION OF THE SEATBELT RESTRAINING CAPABILITY. THIS CAN ONLY BE PROVEN BY EITHER A REAR COLLISION RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR CONDUCTING A REAR END COLLISION AT A SLOW SPEED BY BOTH VEHICLES. HYUNDAI DID INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND THE SEATBELTS ( MEASURED THEM ; ONLY INSPECTION THAT COULD BE MADE). DO WE NEED TO SEE ANOTHER DEATH RESULTING IN THE NHTSB AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY AVOIDING TESTING TO SAVE MONEY OR IGNORE A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER OF VEHICLE INFRONT OF ME SUDDENLY STOPPED AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP AS WELL, MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR BUT HAD NO BRAKING POWER. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP SO UNFORTUNATELY I STRUCK THE VEHICLE INFRONT OF ME. ALL REPAIRS WERE FINISHED ON 8/29/13. AS I BACKED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I CONTACTED THE AUTO BODY SHOP AND THEY LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT DAY. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT IN DIRECT RELATION TO THEIR SERVICES RENDERED BUT THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY ALSO ADVISED ME THAT MY BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED SOFT AND SHOULD ALSO BE LOOKED AT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE FLUID AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH. THE BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED WORKING AGAIN PRIOR TO MY APPOINTMENT SO I ENDED UP CANCELING IT. IN EARLY NOV I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS AGAIN WERE NOT WORKING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY FIXED THE BRAKE FLUID AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH SAYING THEY WERE RECALLED. THEY ALSO ADVISED ME THAT MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND SHOULD HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND/OR REPAIRS. WHEN I GOT HOME AGAIN, I BACKED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING EVEN THOUGH I JUST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FIXED IT. RECALLS ARE STATING THAT THE PREVIOUS BRAKE FLUID MAY CORRODE THE BRAKE MODULE REDUCING BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS POSSIBLY ENDING IN A CRASH AND THAT THE STOP LIGHTS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED ON OTHER CARS.

• 11/08/2022· AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE

  The dash cover on my 2009 Genesis 4-door Sedan has developed large cracks where the passenger side air bag is located. The concern is that this may cause the air bag to deploy inadvertently or increase the chance of flying shrapnel if/when the air bag should deploy during an accident. This problem started around 90,000 miles and has continued to get worse (The vehicle currently has approximately 125,000 miles). I took the vehicle to the dealer when the problem first appeared, but was told it was not a safety concern, and that it was not covered under the warranty. However, I feel this in fact could cause injury to anyone riding in the front passenger seat. 1 picture is attached.

  WAS TRAVELING ON VACATION AND WAS NOTIFIED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED STOP LAMP SWITCH (#13-01-021-3). VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND NO COST FOR REPAIR. DEALERSHIP DID NOT INDICATE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PART OR WITH THIS ISSUE. HAD A SECOND INCIDENT, SIMILAR AS THE FIRST ONLY THIS TIME THE BRAKE LIGHTS FLICKERED WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A MOTORIST AND THEN WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT BY THAT MOTORIST TO TELL ME OF THE ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING DAY I SMELLED A VERY HEAVY ELECTRICAL SMELL WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE. I AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE SAME STOP LAMP SWITCH (DIODE) AT NO COST. HOWEVER, THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD NOT HAD ANY GENESIS IN FOR A SECOND TIME WITH THIS ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED THAT I WAS "RIDING THE BRAKE" AND SUGGESTED THAT THIS MIGHT CAUSE THE ISSUE. AGAIN, THERE WAS NO MENTION BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

  SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY MUSHY, AND HAD TO BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BRAKE THE CAR. AFTER BRAKE WAS PUMPED A COUPLE OF TIMES, ISSUE WENT AWAY. APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY ABS HYDRAULIC MODULE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE GENESIS OWNERS FORUMS, AND SEEMS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE HAS AFFECTED A NUMBER OF OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL.

  MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS EASTBOUND ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH. A VEHICLE PUT ON THEIR BRAKES AHEAD OF THE CAR AND MY WIFE WENT TO APPLY HER BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR CAUSING HER TO NEARLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE BRAKING ACTION FINALLY ACTIVATED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS PRESENTED WITH A $2375 REPAIR BILL FOR A FAILED ABS CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING FAILURE WITH THE GENESIS MODEL AND A RECALL IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR THESE VEHICLES ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

  IN SEPTEMBER, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS EXITING. TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP ON THE EXIT RAMP AND SO I WAS BRAKING AT THE TOP OF THE EXIT RAMP. THERE WAS A BUMP AT THE TRANSITION FROM ASPHALT TO CONCRETE AND I HIT THAT BUMP WHILE I WAS BRAKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT I WAS ALREADY SLOWED DOWN SO I DID NOT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ON THE RAMP. THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO BE MUSHY BUT I WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE BRAKES STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. ON NOVEMBER 4, 2014, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A SURFACE STREET AND HAD TO STOP FOR A PEDESTRIAN. WHILE I WAS BRAKING, MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE HIT A POTHOLE AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR SLOWED BUT DID NOT STOP COMPLETELY. I TURNED INTO MY PARKING GARAGE FOR WORK AND THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO SINK ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVERY TIME I NEEDED TO STOP. I INCHED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND CONTINUED TO WORK. WHEN I WAS GOING HOME, I TURNED THE CAR ON AND PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THE PEDAL CONTINUED TO BE MUSHY. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BECAUSE THE BRAKES WOULD SUDDENLY GRAB JUST BEFORE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I MADE IT HOME SLOWLY AND AM GETTING THE BRAKES LOOKED AT TODAY. *TR

  I EXPERIENCED BRAKES ISSUES WITH MY 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS ON 31 OCT 13. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I HAD TO PUSH MY BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND AND PUMP THEM SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY CAR, THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE MY CAR ON 4 NOV 13 (TODAY). I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVE (WALDORF, MD - STORE #MD041) THIS MORNING NOTIFYING ME THAT MY CAR'S BRAKE SYSTEM - HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT IS FAILING. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPENING MORE OFTEN TO THESE PARTICULAR CARS. I WAS TOLD THE BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED IN MY CAR IN MARCH 2013. THE CHANGE OF THE BRAKE FLUID WAS TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPEN. THE BRAKE FLUID DID NOT PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD RECALL/FIX THE FAULTY HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT FOR THE HYUNDAI GENESIS VERSUS THE CUSTOMERS PAYING A $3,000.00 BILL WHICH IS UNNECESSARY. *TR

• 11/02/2022· SERVICE BRAKESCrash

  My son was driving this car home from college mid-day on October 8. He had not driven the car for 10 days or so while at school and he did notice the brakes making an unusual sound that day he had never heard. While on the highway, there was a sudden stop ahead of him. When he pressed the brakes they completely stopped working and he rear-ended the car in from of him. The brakes were completely non-functional after the crash and he had to try to stop his car as best as he could without brakes. Luckily there were no injuries, however complete brake failure out of the blue is obviously enormously dangerous. The tow truck driver confirmed that brakes did not work at all and speculated that a "brake-line snapped". I have no idea if that is true or why he thought that. The car is totaled and no inspection of the car has taken place. We have the car at our house and it is available for inspection as we try to figure out what to do with it. There were no warning lights prior to the issue. Less than a week after the accident we received a Notification of Extended Warranty from the car manufacturer regarding a possible issue related to brakes. And we have read about other braking issues that have evidently arisen over the years with this model year car.
