THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPING THE CAR. ONCE STOPPED YOU HAVE TP PUMP THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD. THE HYUNDAI DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS WAS AN ABS FAILURE AND HE HAS REPLACED MANY UNITS ALREADY.. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WENT ON TO THE HYUNDAI OWNERS FORUM FOR THE GENESIS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ALOT TO THESE CARS. HYUNDAI HAS REPLACED THESE ABS UNITS WHEN THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A FAILURE TO WARN OWNERS OF A CONTINUING PROBLEM. *TR

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that she noticed that the brake lights would not illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the stop lamp switch needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The dealer stated that the diode wiring system needed to be replaced. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 13V113000 (Exterior Lighting). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,394.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, A FELLOW MOTORIST ALERTED HIM THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATING. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED TO ALERT HIM OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THE FUSE WAS NOT BLOWN. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE UNLESS THE SWITCH WAS SET TO AUTO MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V713000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,526.

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. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT TO CONSUMER [email protected], BUT THE GIRL WHO RETURNED THE CALL, READ FROM A SCRIPT AND SAID SORRY, YOUR CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. PLEASE REFERENCE YOUR CASE NUMBER 15737333. THIS CAR IS UNFIT TO DRIVE AND FROM OTHER POSTINGS, IT WILL COST $2500 TO REPAIR. THE CARS VALUE IS BETWEEN $3600/5600 DOLLARS.THIS IS AN ON GOING SAFETY PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI HAS PUT OFF MAKING A PROPER REPAIR, RELYING ON TIME AND MILES TO GET OUT OF A SAFETY RECALL. I'M UPLOADING PHOTOS OF BRAKE FLUID TAKEN FROM MY CAR IN MARCH AND APRIL 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.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING ALL NIGHT AND IT IMMEDIATELY MALFUNCTIONED WHEN I STARTED IT. AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE, TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTING IT-THE BRAKES WORKED. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES. THE ABS ENGAGED AND I DID GET THE CAR TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKE, IT WORKED AGAIN BUT THE BRAKES STILL SEEM SOFT. I HAVE SCHEDULED A VISIT WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN 2 DAYS. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AND IT SEEMS LIKE A TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HYUNDAI HAS NOT DONE MORE WITH THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 7 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V489000(SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY AND CATASTROPHICALLY WHILE DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN AT ANY RANGE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC AND I WAS INFORMED THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD FAILED. AFTER SOME BRIEF RESEARCH, IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN AMD DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. I AM AWAITING REPAIR(S) AND EXTENDED WARRANTY AUTHORIZATION AS MY CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE POWER STEERING IS NOT COVERED BY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE DONE AT THE MANUFACTURER'S COST UNDER FORMAL RECALL.

MY GENESIS HAS LESS THAN 26,000 MILES ON IT. THREE DAYS AGO THE BRAKES FAILED. THE GARAGE STATED THAT IT WAS MASTER CYLINDER FOR THE BRAKES. TODAY THEY CALLED AND STATED THAT THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT ALSO NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OUT. MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN FOR AN INTERSECTION. SHE WAS ON LEWIS AVE. IN TEMPERANCE MI. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. IT DID EVENTUALLY SLOW THE CAR ENOUGH AND SHE WAS ABLE TO EXIT INTO A PARKING LOT. AT THIS POINT WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE.
