ON 9/16/15 THE BRAKES ON MY 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS FAILED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AS THE BRAKE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO STOP WITH EXCESSIVE PUMPING OF THE BRAKES. ON 9/16/15 I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO JIM ELLIS HYUNDAI TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE CAR AND COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE I HAD EXPERIENCED EARLIER IN THE DAY. THE DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR AND DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS AND NOW THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE. MY CAR HAS 115,561 MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM. ON 04/30/15, I BROUGHT IN THE CAR FOR TWO RECALLS, ONE THAT INCLUDED A BRAKE FLUID FLUSH. A MONTH LATER, I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THAT CAUSED ME TO LOSE BRAKE PRESSURE.AFTER A FEW DAYS THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS AUTOMOBILE, ESPECIALLY AFTER READING SO MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS ALREADY FILED WITH THE GOVERNMENT.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WITHOUT WARNING, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR BEFORE STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST OCCASION HAPPENED ON AUGUST 7, 2013, BUT THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF AND THE BRAKES SEEMED FINE UNTIL OCTOBER 20, 2013, WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I WERE VACATIONING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA, APPROXIMATELY 5 HOURS FROM OUR HOME. AGAIN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STOPPING THE VEHICLE. WE MADE IT HOME SAFELY, BUT THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. AFTER SEEING INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT A RECALL OF THE GENESIS RELATED TO THE BRAKES, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN GOLDSBORO, NC, ON OCTOBER 23, AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE FLUID, WHICH FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THEY TOLD US THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BASED ON THE HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM, WE DID NOT AGREE WITH THAT DIAGNOSIS AND, ON OCTOBER 24, TOOK THE GENESIS TO JOHNSON HYUNDAI IN RALEIGH, NC, WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC MODULE FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE HYUNDAI COMPANY TOLD US THEY ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 GENESIS BUT THE INVESTIGATION IS NOT FAR ENOUGH ALONG TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL WILL BE MADE. FURTHER, THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE (OVER $2100) AND IF A RECALL IS MADE, WE WOULD BE REIMBURSED. JOHNSON HYUNDAI IS TRYING TO HELP US FIND A RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND ABOUT 10,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY; $2100 IN A REPAIR BILL IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR US TO PAY FOR A BRAKE PROBLEM OF WHICH HYUNDAI IS ALREADY AWARE. ...UPDATED 11-12-13 *BF JOHNSON HYUNDAI AND HYUNDAI CORPORATION REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE ABS MODULE AT NO CHARGE.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS WAS SEVERELY REDUCED (COMPARED TO NORMAL). THIS WAS THE FIRST STOP AFTER A "PANIC STOP". THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED AT WILL. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, THE SAME FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED (AGAIN AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST STOP AFTER A PANIC STOP, BUT THIS TIME TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 M.P.H.). AGAIN, THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE REPRODUCED AT WILL AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR

TRAVELING TO INDIANA FROM NORTH CAROLINA ON THE 6TH OF MAY 2011. ON A RURAL ROAD TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ESC WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER THAT WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE WAS NO POWER. ELECTRICITY WAS STILL THERE AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON, BUT NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO TURN THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND MOVED ONTO THE SIDE. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS AROUND. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PRETTY DANGEROUS IF THERE WERE CARS AROUND AND MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON BUT I HAD REGAIN THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED INTO A HOTEL AND CALLED HYUNDAI. THE CLOSEST DEALER WAS GADDIS HYUNDAI OF MUNCIE, INDIANA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSING BUT I DISCUSSED WITH TECHNICIAN. HE INDICATED THAT IT WAS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE SENSOR. HE INDICATED THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX IT MONDAY, BUT THAT IF THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND IT WAS RUNNING OK, IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOLD HIM THAT I NEED TO BE DURHAM , NC ON MONDAY. HE INDICATED THAT IF IT HAPPEN AGAIN. TO TURN OFF AND RESTART AND IT SHOULD RESET. ON MY WAY BACK FROM INDIANA TO NORTH CAROLINA I STAYED IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTART AND CONTINUE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE STEVENSON HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN JACKSONVILLE, NC. HERE IS A FORUM WEB SITE THAT REFLECTS SIMILAR PROBLEM IDENTIFIED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS RELATED TO THE HYUNDAI GENESIS V6 AND V8.

A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO THE BRAKES ON MY 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE AND GOT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL EVENTUALLY REGAINED PRESSURE AND BEGAN FUNCTIONING AGAIN. OVER THE NEXT 5-6 MONTHS THE BRAKES PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE EACH TIME I DROVE THE CAR. I WAS CONSISTENTLY HAVING TO PUMP THE PEDAL AND NEEDED TO KEEP GIVING MYSELF MORE AND MORE DISTANCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS AND OTHER SENSORS ON THE CAR WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING ENTIRELY FOR PERIODS OF TIME. THOSE LIGHTS AND SENSORS EVENTUALLY QUIT AND NEVER TURNED BACK ON. AT THIS POINT VEHICLE BRAKES WERE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AND IT HAD NO FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THAT I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR FROM FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS TO THE CAR BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE. THEY DOCUMENTED AND DESCRIBED SOME SORT OF CONTAMINATION IN THE BRAKE FLUID THAT HAD TURNED IT INTO A WHITE GOOEY SUBSTANCE AND THAT FLUID CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND WORE COMPLETELY THROUGH THE ABS MODULE. COINCIDENTALLY THAT IS THE EXACT SAME DESCRIPTION THAT WAS GIVEN FOR THE RECALLS IN 2013 THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR (NHTSA CAMPAIGN 13V489000). THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID HAVE THOSE 2013 RECALL REPAIRS MADE AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES BUT THE SAME ISSUES THAT CAUSED THE FIRST RECALL ARE OBVIOUSLY OCCURRING AGAIN WITH THE CAR CURRENTLY AT ABOUT 120,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER DEALER WANTS $2500 TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE AND TO RESET THE COMPUTER WHICH IS OVER HALF OF THE BLUE BOOK VALUE. THAT ALONG WITH THE $1000 ALREADY SPENT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEMS, THE CAR IS NOW BORDERLINE TOTALED AT THIS POINT.

MY CAR SHUT OFF/THE ENGINE LOST POWER, WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC. I FELT A SLIGHT ROUGH IDLE, THEN REALIZED ALL MY DASH LIGHTS WERE ON, AND THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, AND PUSHED THE ENGINE START BUTTON. CAR STARTED BACK UP, BUT EVERY TIME I STOPPED I HAD TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND KEEP MY FOOT SLIGHTLY ON THE GAS TO KEEP IT FROM IDLING ROUGHLY AND SHUTTING OFF AGAIN. I HAD TO DO THIS FOR A HALF HOUR UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. AFTER SETTING FOR 4 HOURS THE CAR STARTED FINE AND I HAD NOT FURTHER ISSUES. BUT MY FEAR IS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR POSSIBLY WHILE DRIVING, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

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.

MY HYUNDAI DEALER CALLED ME TODAY MAY 15, 2019 AND SAID THAT THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR MY GENESIS BRAKES WOULD COST $2770.00 AT A MINIMUM, MAYBE MORE IF THE WHOLE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN OTHER WORDS; (PLEASE WRITE A BLANK CHECK TO US.) THIS IS A HYUNDAI PROBLEM AS A MANUFACTURER. THEY PUT DOT 3 FLUID IN THE SYSTEM AT BIRTH OF THE CAR AND IT CAUSED CORROSION INTERACTING WITH THE ZINC PLATING INTERNALLY. PROPER TESTING WASN'T DONE PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY SIGNOFF. THE RECALL CHANGED THE FLUID TO DOT 4 AND IN MY CASE THE FLUID WAS NOT PROPERTY DRAINED AND CHANGED AND MY PICTURES OF THE FLUID PROVE THE SEPARATION AND CRUD IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. MANY GENESIS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE THIS REPAIR ON THE AFFECTED CARS. WHAT IS A BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN THEN HAVING YOUR BRAKES GO OUT WHEN APPLIED. MY CAR WON'T STOP AS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ALL THE WAY DOWN.THE ABS & ESC LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS CHANGED IN 2014 AND AGAIN IN 2019. A NEW MASTER CYLINDER, FRONT BRAKE LINES, BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND DIODE WAS INSTALLED IN MARCH 2019. TOOK IT TO DEALER IN APRIL 2019 AND THEY ALL WAS OK EXCEPT ESC LIGHT WAS ON. DROVE IT HOME AND LESS THEN 60 MILES THE BRAKES PETAL AGAIN WENT TO THE FLOOR. TAKING IT BACK TO DEALER IN LIMA, OH ON MAY 15, 2019.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET WHEN ANOTHER MOTORIST SIGNALED THAT FLAMES WERE COMING OUT OF FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BUMPER. FORTUNATELY, MY WIFE WAS NEARING HOME AND PULLED OVER IN FRONT OUR HOUSE WHERE I SPRAYED AND SOAKED AREA OF FIRE UNTIL IT RECEDED. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO VIEW DAMAGE, THE DRIVERS SIDE FOG LIGHT BULB AND HOUSING HAD DROPPED THRU THE LARGE HOLE WHICH HAD BURNED THRU THE PLASTIC BUMPER. THE BULB AND HOUSING EVIDENTLY DISLODGED FROM THE FOG LIGHT SOCKET AND DROPPED INTO THE SURROUNDING PLASTIC BUMPER BELOW AND TRIGGERED THE FIRE . OUR COMPLAINT IS THAT THE CAR HAS AT LEAST TEN DEALER SERVICE REPAIRS WHICH SHOWS REPLACEMENT OF SEVERAL LIGHTS AND BULBS INCLUDING THE FOG LIGHT INVOLVED IN THE FIRE. FURTHER, THE REPLACEMENT OF BULBS THRU OUT THE VEHICLE HAS SOLELY BEEN DONE AT THE DEALER FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FOG LIGHTS NEEDS TO BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. AN INSINUATION BY THE DEALER THAT WE ARE SOMEHOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FIRE AND THE COST OF REPLACING THE FOG LIGHT AND BUMPER IS ABSURD AND FALSE. I AM LEARNING HOW TO SCAN AND UPLOAD AND WILL FORWARD THE DEALER REPAIR INVOICES SOON.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2009 GENESIS THE POWER STIRRING PUMP FAILS SUDDENLY CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND YOU CAN STIR THE CAR! I'VE REPLACED THE PART TWICE BEFORE IN AROUND 90 DAYS AND IT FAILED AGAIN IN LESS THAN A YEAR! THE PART COST &1100 AND $2200 TOTAL PRICE! THIS IS A DOCUMENTED ISSUE AND A FACTORY RECALL SHOULD BE FORCED ON HYUNDAI BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE! NOW HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE PARTS AND STATED 'OUR PARTS DONT GO BAD!'..... THEN THE PARTS MANAGER AT POHANKA HYUNDAI IN CAPITAL HEIGHTS MD HUNG UP THE PHONE! VERY POOR SERVICE AND THE HYUNDAI GENESIS HAS SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS! EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM IT'S ALSO A KNOWN DEFECT... THE ABS ALSO HAS CATASTROPHIC FAILURES AND YOU HAVE NO BRAKES! I'VE CHECKED AND FROM 2009 UNTIL NOW (2018) THESE ISSUES ARE IN EVERY GENESIS MANUFACTURED AND THEY WON'T PROPERLY ENGINEER THE PARTS? SO HYUNDAI CAN BUILD A VERY NICE 'PROFILE' CAR THAT WE CAN'T STIR OR STOP! I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER AND I'M A RETIRED QUALITY ASSURACE ENGINEER FOR NASA!

FOR THE FIFTH TIME I AM HAVING AN OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED ON MY GENESIS (THE VEHICLE HAS 4). THE SYMPTOM HAS BEEN A "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" THAT RESULTS IN AN INTERMITTENT, OCCASIONAL PROBLEM WHEN STOPPED AND IDLING. THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTS TO FLASH, THE ENGINE BEGINS TO IDLE VERY ROUGHLY, AND THERE'S BARELY ENOUGH POWER TO CREEP THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THIS CONDITION CLEARS UP PRETTY QUICKLY BUT THE LIGHT REMAINS ON. THE FLASHING LIGHT/ROUGH IDLE/LOSS OF POWER RECURS. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED REQUIRING AN OXYGEN SENSOR CHANGE FIVE TIMES STARTING IN MID-2016 AT AROUND 100,000 MILES.
