Brakes Failed problems of the 2009 Hyundai Genesis

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.

2009 Hyundai Genesis, in motion street and highway. Total brake failure. No warning, no dashboard light warning. Columbia Hyundai advised that the brake failure is due to failure of the abs control box. In other words total, un-announced failure of anti skid control box caused a complete brake system failure in this car.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact was driving approximately 60 mph and attempting to stop the vehicle when the brake system failed causing the brake pedal to extend to the floor and extending the stopping distance. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact indicated that the remedy for NHTSA recall number 13v489000 (braking system) was completed 4 months earlier but the failure still occurred. The failure mileage was 101,000. Jft.

On September 19, 2015, when approaching a red light, the brake pedal went all the way to the floorboard and the car would not stop. Repeated pumping of the pedal finally brought the car to a stop. Within an hour a second event occurred on the freeway when approaching another car from the rear. The brake pedal had no resistance and went all the way to the floorboard. It has not occurred again. Two days later I took the car (carefully) into the dealer. They have, as yet, been unable to replicate the problem (as Hyundai requires for warranty consideration). However, I will not drive this car or let my wife use it until this is diagnosed and repaired. It is extremely unsafe. This type of brake failure has been noted repeatedly in the 2009 Hyundai Genesis. I am stuck with an unusable car and a manufacturer who will not recognize the severity of this issue. The dealer does not want to repeatedly subject their staff to the risk of an accident but Hyundai requires the problem be validated by another occurrence when driven by dealer staff.

Brake pedal almost went to floor before it started to come to a stop. We didn't hit anything because we were in parking lot but if this had happened on the highway, there would have been an accident. This problem started suddenly and has continued. The car is now in a repair shop. There was a recall to replace the brake fluid and this was done in January 2014. The wrong brake fluid was in the car for four years before it was replaced. It seems reasonable that this current brake failure is due to the four years of improper brake fluid although Hyundai will take no responsibility for this brake issue.

While returning home today I was on the freeway when traffic slowed suddenly I braked somewhat firmer than normal and pedal went soft and travelled to the floor. I pumped the brakes quickly but pedal stilled travelled close to the floorboard. I stopped just barely in time, probably just a few inches from the car in front of me. So the brake system failed somewhere in the hydraulics I believe. I am aware there has been many complaints of this car doing this.

When I try stopping the brake pedal pushes to the bottom but doesn't stop the car. The brakes fail. I brought it into Hyundai service and they said they can't duplicate the problem. It happens around 50% of the time while driving.

In July 2014, I visited my local Hyundai dealership to take care of a recall notice that I had received and they promptly took care of two recalls, one of which was campaign 114 - replacing brake fluid and inspecting the hydraulic ecu (hecu). The recall has to do with the old fluid corroding portions of the hecu and causing brake failure. Well to that point, I had not had any brake failures or problems, but it was within a week of the inspection I applied the brakes very hard to stop and avoid hitting a car on the highway, the brakes worked fine, but upon hitting the brakes a second time, the pedal went all the way to floor before any braking was applied to the wheels. It stayed that way for the remainder of my trip (some 10-15 more miles) I attempted to pump the brakes and even stopped at a local gas station and turned the car off and on again to see if it remedied the problem, it did not. When I returned home, I began to look into what would cause this, and that is when found out that campaign 114 was in play to actually attempt to prevent this type of disaster. The next day I drove a different vehicle to work and when I returned home (still the month of July 2014) I tried the brakes on the Hyundai again and they seemed to work fine. I cautiously drove the car and didn't have another failure until today, when I was on the highway and applied the brakes harder than usual, the very next braking event my pedal again went all the way to the floor. I assume that whenever a hard braking event occurs these symptoms return. I made it to work and spent 4-5 hours there and left early to the dealer told them the story and said they are working fine right now since the car was off and on again, and while they are still investigating this, they told me already that the hecu is checking out ok. This is dangerous and needs to be recalled.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. While driving at an unknown speed, the brakes failed and the brake pedal sank to the floor. The dealer stated that the inner ball joints and the hydraulic electronic control unit failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Forty five minutes after picking up my new ( to me ) car at the dealership I had purchased it from I was driving down the road and in an instant I had to step on the brakes hard because the truck in front of me stopped quickly to make a left hand turn. Upon doing so the brake pedal went all the way down and I crashed into the truck. After the crash I restarted the car to move it to the side of the road and it stopped normally like it should. I was left with the feeling that I had no brakes for that instant. Totally un aware of a brake recall on the new car, when I found out later that night about the recall I was upset because I couldnt believe that a well established 30 years in business dealership would sell me a car and not have mentioned or even taken care of it. On the following Monday after the accident I called Hyundai motor of America to verify that my new to me Genesis had never been recalled (repaired yet ) . Hyundai said they were sorry and sent me out an investigation packet that I am currently filling out and gathering information for. They also asked me what I was seeking from Hyundai. I replied. I wanted my car fixed perfect. The truck I hit repaired. My recall taken care of and would like some sort of statement or document stating that my car was prone to brake failure so I can appeal the sir charge I will recieve from my insurance company for the next five years at 500-600 per year for an at fault accident. My car was towed away to a body shop with considerable damage and is currently unable to be driven.

I was traveling approximately 25 mph in a residential neighborhood, preparing to come to a stop at an intersection when I depressed the brake pedal and it went all the way to the floor without stopping the car. I pumped the brakes and it then engaged and stopped the car. I carefully and slowly drove the car to the dealership the following morning. After inspecting the car, the dealership told me that the hecu and abs module would need to be replaced and the brake fluid flushed and replaced. They said this would cost about $3,000 and they contacted my extended warranty insurance carrier to attempt to get the cost covered by insurance. A day later the dealership told me that the insurance company had sent an inspector out to test drive the car and would send another inspector tomorrow to inspect the hecu and abs module and they're still attempting to work with them to get the cost covered. I took the car in for the safety recall on 10/24/13 and the brake fluid was replaced, and I also had new brakes installed on 3/8/14, yet I still had the brakes fail a month later. Hyundai should be doing the repairs without question and instead they're trying to get the extended warranty insurance carrier to cover it and I'm having to wait it out while they bicker about costs.

While driving the car at 5. 20 pm on Monday December 2, 2013, my brakes failed. The brake pedal almost went to the floor, were very soft, and only barely worked. I managed to stop the car without hitting any other vehicle. Since I was close to home, I carefully maneuvered the car to my garage where it was safely parked. On Tuesday morning (the next day) I had the car towed to shawnee mission Hyundai. That afternoon they called me back to say that the problem was complete failure of the brake control module (hecu). Upon investigation, and without any advice or assistance from the people at Hyundai, I have discovered that this is a known issue for Hyundai, and the subject of a recall. I am writing to inform the authority that the parts failed on my car.

This is the second time in a week where the brakes have just failed. The brake pedal will go all the way to the floor. After pumping the pedal pressure is restored. Concerned about safety going forward.

I missed my right hand turn that I usually make to exit my community, so I stopped and put the vehicle in reverse using the backup camera as a guide. I noticed that I was getting too close to the sidewalk curbing and I noticed a large tree not to far from the curbing, so I turned my body around to my right side to get a visual look. While I was doing this I put my foot on the break pedal,turned my body back to a normal driving position and the brake pedal went right to the floor never stopping the vehicle. The steering wheel suddenly moved to the right and then I heard a large sound ( the rear end of the vehicle crashing into the tree that I saw. ) all of this that happened took about seven to ten seconds!! I released my seat belt and got of the car to see the damage. The rear end of the bumper on the passenger side was severely damaged, the quarter panel on the same side was blown out and the top of the trunk toward the right side was actually ripped and dented. Ironically I had an appointed with the dealership to check the brakes the same day of the accident. I was determined to find out why the brakes failed. So I drove the vehicle knowing I had no brakes and miraculously made it to the dealership. The service personal saw how badly the vehicle was damaged and I explained to them what had happened. One of the girls in service department, I don't remember her name, completed the paper work and I was told I had to leave the vehicle. She also told me that there would no charge for any repairs because thats how Hyundai treats their customers thats' when old light bulb went off and I asked her if there were any recalls on vehicle and she said no. The next day I saw the repair form and that brake fluid was replaced twice and failed twice. He noticed that the auto antilock braking system module failed. He replaced that brakes o. K. I received back injury,under doctors care.

I was driving out of my community to an appointment I had with Hyundai dealership to check brakes when I missed right turn. I stopped the car putt it in reverse using camera as my visual. I noticed I was getting closer to curb and sidewalk so I turned my body to my right and saw there was a big tree close to sidewalk. I was turning back to normal driving position and applying the brakes at same time when the pedal went completely to the floor,the steering moved to the right, never stopping the car. I heard a loud crashing noise and my body being severely jerked back and forth. I noticed the auto collapsing head rest popped up. I removed my seat belt put the car into park and went to see the damage. Sure enough I had hit the tree which showed no sign of damage but the rear bumper on the passenger side was severely damaged,quarter panel was blown out and top of the trunk middle right was actually ripped and torn. I was determined to see why the brakes failed so I drove the car without any brakes and miraculously made it to dealership. One of service girls saw my damaged car and asked what happened. I told her brakes failed. She told me not to worry because they will fix car without any charge because thats how Hyundai treats their customers. I asked if there were recalls on the car, she said no. They told me my car will be ready next day. I went next morning and asked for the report on car which said brake fluid was changed twice and brakes failed twice. The service tech noticed auto anti locking brake module failed. He put in a new one, replaced braking fluid for third time, test drove the car and said brakes ok. When driving car brakes felt better. At home I started to feel light headed and few days latter back and neck pains started to get worse. Pain was so bad I went to urgent care center, gave me an injection and predizone for inflammation and pain. I'm under pain doctors care.

My local dealer, kuhio motors, has failed to correct a brake problem that has been on-going for over two months. The dashboard warning lights for the anti-lock brakes (abs) and electronic stability control (esc) have been burning continuously for over two months. Kuhio motors, my Hyundai dealer, has failed to correct the problem after three visits for service. I understand that several Genesis drivers have experienced brake failure due to a defective braking control module.
