1 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2016

As I was driving, the ground became unleveled, I tried to slow down my speed and I experienced brake failure. My brake petal sunk down to the floor before my car would come to a complete stop. For two months my car has been in and out of Hyundai dealerships trying to figure out the issue, all the while charging me for test, and no one can correct this issue. It's now 2 1/2 months and I'm still without my car. I need for Hyundai to be held accountable.

3 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2014

Brakes completely failed as I entered NJ turnpike. No braking power was restored. Drove in lowest gear and used emergency brake. Second incident with this car in 6 weeks.

4 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2014

On 7/1/2014 I was driving at approximately 35 mph when I put my foot on the brake of my 2010 Hyundai Genesis and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor of the car and the car did not stop. The next day I phoned Hyundai about the incident and asked if I could bring the car in for a brake inspection. I was told do to 4th of July holiday they would not be able to look at the car. Since they would not make this a priority I took the car to my local mechanic for inspection on 7/3/14. The local mechanic was not able to determine the cause. Later that day the car had begun stopping as needed with no cause identified so I went back to normal driving but maintained feeling uncomfortable. I had forgotten that previously I had taken my car to Hyundai service to have a safety recall performed on 1/27/2014 (recall #114) that specifically related this this as a possibility. The service involved replacing the brake fluid due to having too low of a boiling temperature leading to eventual corrosion of the hecu anti-lock braking component resulting in reduced stopping ability or complete failure of braking power which is what occurred. On 8/13/2014 once again I went to put my foot on the brake while driving and again my foot went straight to the floor and was unable to stop the vehicle resulting in me almost hitting another car in my work parking lot. I immediately took the car to the dealer insisting they perform a brake inspection. They determined after a few days that it was the hecu unit that needed replacement and proposed charging me $3500 for the repair later reducing that to $2500 when I complained that my vehicle had relatively low mileage and complete brake failure was unacceptable and their responsibility. The cost of repair and other expenses incurred (rental car) is completely Hyundai's responsibility since lose of braking relates directly to safety recall #114.

5 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2014

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe. While driving approximately 50 mph, the brake pedal failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed. The emergency brake had to be applied in order to stop the vehicle. The dealer stated that the brake fluid was contaminated and the entire brake system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulics). The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

6 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2013

I was traveling approximately around 45mph when I pressed on the brake to stop at a intersection. However the car had other plans and didn't stop as desired due to the brake pedal going to the floor! thankfully, no traffic was in the oncoming lane and the turn lane for me just turned green. I was able to go around the car ahead of me and make the turn without incident. I then proceeded to limp the car over to the local Hyundai dealership here in jacksonville, FL. They diagnosed it as a bad abs module for the brakes. My 3rd party warranty company wouldn't repair the car due to no check engine light coming on from this brake failure. Key Hyundai repaired the car at no additional cost to me even with my car having 63k miles on it. Another thing to note is that they had just changed out the brake fluid due to a TSB a few months prior of which the old fluid could cause corrosion on the brake system from what I understand.
