| Electronic Stability Control 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 affairs@hmausa. Com, 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.
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.
Tl the contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that the esc, brake, and tpms warning indicators were flashing. The brake indicator randomly remained illuminated and the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. On other occasions, the rpms raced and the speedometer gauge would become stuck intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.
I own a 2009 Hyundai Genesis clearly affected by the recall on brake fluid that affects the brake module. My car has been deemed too dangerous to drive, but was never included in the recall efforts according to my service advisor. I being asked to pay an exorbitant amount to replace the abs module. My advisor has informed me that my VIN # is not included in the recall efforts. So, it appears that although I own a 2009 which is a year that is affected with this problem. . . . My safety does not matter for some reason. My car is experiencing the same issues and will probably create an accident if it is driven. My car should also be included and I do not understand why it is not. The brakes can be depressed all the way to floor board and the car will still begin to roll forward. It will not stop completely! this has been an ongoing issue for a months now and the dealer is telling me my car is not covered by this recall! I am putting today's date, but it has been months now and my safety should be considered as well before something terrible happens.
Tl - the contact stated that he purchased a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated while driving at approximately 75 mph, the traffic began to slow when depressing the brake heard an abnormal noise and the brake pedal felt stiff. The vehicle slowed down to thirty mph, when pressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle would not accelerate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact proceeded to pull over to the right shoulder and called roadside service. The vehicle was turned off and restarted the electronic stabilty control light iluminated the vehicle restarted the function was normal. The vehicle was taken into the dealer to be diagnosed and the failure code indicated brake rotors overheated. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the road failure the vehicle was not repaired . The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70060.
While traveling on the highway, the brake pedal went nearly to the floor before the car began to decelerate. It was clear that the car could only slow moderately regardless of how hard I pressed the brake pedal, and there was no brake engagement at the top of the pedal travel. At home, I took photos of the pedal displacement relative to the firewall and can provide them. Photo 1 shows the state of the pedal when I arrived home. Imagine the amount of pedal force you might use while parallel parking or slowing for an off ramp on the highway. With that amount of force, the pedal was within ~2" of the firewall. Pumping the brake pedal led to increased "feel" and restoring brake effectiveness. Photo 2 shows a larger gap to the firewall after 5 pedal repetitions, and with increased force applied. Photo 3 shows an even larger gap after ~20 pedal repetitions and even higher force applied. The final photo shows that at maximum force, I could only get the pedal to ~3" from the firewall. This was similar to the state that the vehicle was in this morning, and felt "normal" in terms of pedal effort and travel. To reiterate: during the failure, the pedal would push to within 2" of the firewall with minimal effort, and with little braking effectiveness. I could not have performed a panic braking maneuver in this state, and only continued to drive due to the lack of traffic and proximity to my home. After subsequent pedal cycling in my driveway, I could only get the pedal to more than 3" from the firewall with maximum effort, and the base braking function appeared to be normal. To date, the dealer has been unable to reproduce the problem and thus unable to gain authorization from hma to perform any repair. I consider the car undriveable. This vehicle was already serviced for the hecu/brake fluid recall. Hecu passed the screening at that time.
While driving at 65 mph in 4 lane I-95 rush hour traffic, the check engine light and the esc light both came on and the car would not accelerate. Pressing on the gas pedal had no effect. I turned on flashers and drifted my way through 3 lanes and pulled over and restarted the car. The check engine light came on but not the esc light. The car ran a bit rough with the check engine light on. The exact same thing happened the next day. I took the car to the dealer, and they replaced the throttle position sensor. Based on owner reports at the Genesis owners web site, this has happened to many owners of 2009 v6 Hyundai Genesis. This is very dangerous, and the car should be recalled to fix this potential deadly situation. If I had been driving in the left lane of a highway, a serious accident with potential deaths could have happened. I had to pay 325 dollars to have this issue fixed since it has not been recalled. Please work with Hyundai to ensure this major safety issue is recalled urgently.
On several occasions since 2/16/13 I have been having intermittent problems of brake pedal gradually going down to the floor at a stop light or while waiting at a stop light the brakes would gradually lose pressure and the car would start creeping forward. This has been occurring whether I am driving 30 mph on residential streets or 70 mph on highway (which I stopped doing!). My husband also drives the car and experienced the same issues. After pumping the brakes, I was finally able to stop. Driving in inclement weather has been almost hazardous. Car taken back to dealer (March 7, 2013), had part replaced, picked up car on March 8, 2013 and had to take the car back the very next morning, March 9, 2013, and the problem was worse than when it was taken in the first time. When this started happening, I was very afraid of having an accident, especially when I never could tell if my brakes would hold with just a simple stop light. I have spoken with other Genesis 2009 owners and found out that this problems as been occurring since July 2012 and Hyundai has been made aware of this problem and certain dealers are not handling the repairs in a customer friendly way, especially since is definitely a safety issue.
Recurrent/ongoing brakes lights failure since June 2012 (brake lamp diode blows out frequently causing brake lamps to be inoperative). Spongy brakes. Have to pump and push harder than normal on brake pedal to stop. Car serviced at tameron Hyundai dealer in b'ham, al (states esc hydraulic module internal valve malfunction, needs replacement). . . . . Updated 05/20/14.
