The dealer informed the contact the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,444.

The brake lines and fuel lines were corroded. The corrosion of the brake lines would lead to brake failure and the corrosion of the fuel lines would lead to a fire. The Hyundai dealer was the first to find the brake problem and after inspection by my mechanic, the fuel lines were also found to be corroded. I took my car in for a recall service at the dealer and after the service my brake light would illuminate when decelerating(with or without brakes being applied) .

I was driving home on January 1, 2023 at 5 am at about 60 mph on an interstate when I heard a sound come from the back of my car and then looked into the rearview mirror and smelled smoke and saw fire flames in my rear and side mirrors. I tried to use my brakes to stop my car, but the brakes would not work, so I took it out of drive and put it into park… which slowed the car down and I was able to exit the car right before it burst into flames. The car is now a total loss.

The hecu has been malfunctioning in my car for over a year now. It is an open recall for my make, model and year of car. I took it to bob rohrman indy Hyundai and they diagnosed the failed part. This part affects my abs. There are currently two warning lights on one for the ecs which is the traction control stabilizer and the abs light is on. Meaning the use of the breaking system is limited and not working properly. I have asked the corporate Hyundai to uphold the recall warranty but I was advised they would not cover this because my vehicle has a rebuilt title. I drive my vehicle on a daily basis and I’m terrified of my brakes going out. The corrosion from the fluid is what causes the hecu to malfunction and it is so scary to think about. This problem was diagnosed and first reported to my his dealership on 6/23/2022.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis coupe. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal went to the floorboard while depressed. The contact firmly depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The contact changed the brake fluid; however, the failure recurred. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulics). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

Brakes stop working randomly. Press pedal down and there is very little braking power. Had to pump brakes and limp home. Came back after sitting a while. This has happened several times - 6/7.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that the brake pedal was squishy which resulted in farther brake pedal travel while attempting to stop the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

I was driving down the road and my brakes had been working fine. On my way to work while approaching a stoplight my brake pedal was pushed all the way to the floor with little result. I am mediately pump my brakes afterwards and the corded stop. The rest of the way to work I had to continuously pump my brakes in order to stop. My brake fluid was checked and was full. I drove home with same issue and have not drove car since. When the problem first happened I came off a highway exit to a stop light.

My car at 58000 miles whenever I brake on slippery surface where abs is activated my brake pedal goes nearly down to floor. And continuous for days going down nearly to floor on normal braking before brake pedal comes back up to normal level again. This has happened now every time abs is activated. Dealer wants nearly $3000. To replace the abs.

Braking effectiveness is significantly reduced unexpectedly / randomly. Dealer could not reproduce the problem so no fix was done. There was a Hyundai recall, #114, which required the changing of the break fluid due to corrosion of the hecu. This was performed in 2014 but apparently this has not solved the problem. The vehicle is now unsafe to drive.

I purchased my used pre-certified Hyundai Genesis 20 11 car in February 2014 and shortly thereafter I found that my brakes which originally were firm would go down to the floor or nearly to the floor within 6 months I did some research on the car and found that in 2013 Hyundai corporation issued a recall on the abs system do 2 corrosive brake fluid that was could potentially corrode the abs system and 2013 the brake fluid was replaced on my car prior to my purchase. However Hyundai did not inspect whether abs systems had already been damaged by this corrosive brake fluid and merely replaced it my car has an abs system that has been tested and it fails. The brake pedal on my car nearly touches the floor and it is difficult to stop the car safely. I was driving in the rain recently and just missed hitting a car that stopped suddenly.

My 2011 Hyundai Genesis is experiencing braking failure. I have almost had accidents due to my car's inability to come to a stop in a reasonable time, especially when following vehicles that come to a sudden stop. The pedal depresses almost to the floor and is very spongy. The problem is intermittent but consistent. I researched the issue and found that there was a recall related to this issue, but for some reason, Hyundai excluded my VIN despite it falling within the manufacture period of Hyundai cars experiencing the issue. I took the car to the Hyundai dealership and they diagnosed a failed abs system, specifically stating that the internal seals of the hecu (esc unit) were worn causing poor sealing. This may be related to the corrosive brake fluid that they replaced for their campaign tl6. Under Hyundai's recall campaign 114, the hecu system should have been inspected and repaired or replaced in addition to changing the fluid. Hyundai merely replaced the fluid. This has caused a dangerous situation with my braking system that could have been avoided.

Nhtsa campaign number: 13v-489 Hyundai notice 13-01-006 campaign 114. I have had my brake pedal go almost all the way to the floor 3 times now in the last 2 months. This is extremely dangerous and luckily I have been able to stop in time not to cause an accident. Review of the Hyundai forum indicates that my abs module or hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu) is failing. Brake pedal feel will then go back to normal after I restart the car several times. I have an appointment with dennis Hyundai in columbus, OH today and I hope they are willing to replace the abs module for free as required.

Brakes are very mushy. Often going to floor without stopping. Have to pump brakes to stop. Dealer says the hec unit needs to be replaced (part is $3500). This 2011 Hyundai Genesis was built in during time frame of earlier recall because Hyundai was using corrosive brake fluid. Earlier models were recalled but mine was not? why? now that 6 years have passed, the corrosive brake fluid is now causing later models to fail. All models built during the time frame in which corrosive brake fluid was used should be recalled and mfg should be responsible for replacement of the hec unit . . . Not just the brake fluid. All questionable vehicles should have been recalled in the first recall.

While the automobile is in motion the brake pedal is mushy to the point that it almost reaches dead bottom before engaging the brakes. This happens both on the highway and on the street no matter the speed. Repair shop states that its the abs hydraulic module is defective. Hyundai dealer states that it is for the fluid recall. It is not fixing the brakes.

Brake padel is very soft or low after hitting brakes and will not re-adjust. See campaign 114 for more details.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis. While driving various speeds, the brakes malfunctioned without warning. The contact stated that the brake pedal nearly struck the floorboard on four occasions between August 11, 2017 and September 2, 2017. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact stated that a significant amount of brake pressure was applied to stop the vehicle on each occasion. The vehicle was taken to be reinspected per NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic) at araphoe Hyundai of denver, colorado. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and provided the contact with case number: 105-11-067. The failure mileage was 162,000.

I took this car to the north charleston Hyundai about 3 weeks ago around 6/16/17, told them about my braking issue and they told me after they inspected it that it would cost me 4-5 thousand dollars to fix my vehicle. The dealer said it was the recalled part that went bad. Now they are saying its not and Hyundai USA isn't standing by their product either said I was out of warranty by 5000 miles and they can't fix it. Its all on me now. Hyundai USA first told me they would meet me half way for the repairs but they didn't all they did is give me 1000 Hyundai points and that is maybe a 1/5 of the repair. I had a second opinion done at midas in mount pleasant SC done and they are saying its the recalled part that is bad, and that I need to get in touch with y'all. The whole braking system went bad while I was driving it, I was going around a turn at a high rate of speed and noticed that when I pressed the brakes they weren't responding so I threw it into manual drive, where I geared it down to 2nd gear and slowed down that way, enough I wouldn't run off the road and maybe hurt myself, my rider or someone on the interstate.

The vehicle was taken to lake norman Hyundai (20520 chartwell center dr, cornelius, nc 28031) where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic electronic control unit was corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.

My brakes have reduced pressure and spongy. I see others have same issue and possible recall. Hyundai says mine is not included although recall was for cars 2009-2012 (mine is 2011). I almost crashed because of reduced pressure and car would not stop.

Sporadic low brake pedal resulting in decreased braking performance. This problem will last for a day or two and then go away. Present at all speeds - even when stopped.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 hyundia Genesis. The contact stated that when pressing the brake pedal the vehicle would not immediately stop and the pedal had to be pushed to the floor to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 75,000. Jft.

I was sitting in my car with the emergency break engaged when my car started to roll back down my driveway. No matter how hard I tried I could not push the break in and the emergency break was on the entire time. My door is now crunched up from rolling back into a tree. It went all the way down my driveway, across the street and into my neighbors yard before my husband was able to get it to stop by pushing the break pedal as hard as he could. I bruised my shoulder trying to get out of the car while it was rolling away.

Tuesday February 2, 2016 I was driving on olympic blvd approximately 35 pmh. As I attempted to turn right on the round about to the avenue of the stars I was unable to brake. I floored the brake pedal and the brakes were unresponsive. I attempted to brake again but by that time it was too late. My car hit and drove onto the curb where it remained unable to move until aaa arrived. I broke both left wheels and the axel along with other serious damage to the front of my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that there was a increased in stopping distance when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

I was driving at 35 mph in the lane, the car on the left lane hit the rear body and tire of driver side, but the car didn't stop even after the impact. After the collision, I pressed very hard on the break pedal to stop, but it kept moving, even increased its speed up to 60 mph, and turned into the different direction. Also the wheel was stuck by itself and I was not able to turn anywhere with my hands. It went off the opposite side of the road without any control. 20 years old Toyota camry was able to stop at the spot of collision, but Hyundai Genesis couldn't. The wheel and the break were both stuck and unable to be controlled and crashed into the electric pole. The air bag was deployed, and Hyundai Genesis was totaled. In 2014, the break recall service was received two times from the dealer. There must be the mechanical failure in the break, speed control, and the wheel which caused this total loss. I was injured and taken by the ambulance later. I never had any accidents like this before with any other cars!.

Twice in last month I was driving in traffic and had a total loss of brakes almost hitting the car directly in front of me. I pushed the brake pedal in both cases to the floor and my car was not stopping. I was able to get the car to finally slow down after pushing the petal against the floor as hard as I could. Needless to say this was a very frightening experience both times. I took the vehicle in to the dealership after receiving a recall notice in the mail. I was told that they replaced the brake fluid per the 114 recall and that they were able to reproduce the stopping issue. The dealership stated that the abs module was not operating properly and that it was going to be a $2200 fix that I was responsible for paying for and that the recall did not cover the required parts and labor and that the warranty and extended warranty that I have would not cover the repairs. It seems they only replaced the fluid that was causing the issue with the module, but would not take responsibility for replacing the critical parts that the brake fluid compromised. I can not afford to fix this car and am being treated like it is my responsibility to fix the issue they caused. I am still driving an unsafe car because I have no choice. What is my recourse?.

When the brake assist system is active and the car was stopped it would not move an inch. Now the vehicle inches forward and makes a vibration sound until eventually the disc brakes lock up and the car stops rolling. I took my car to Hyundai of orange park and showed the service writer the issue. When the car was returned, they said there was no problem. Since this has never occurred until recently, and I have owned the car for 3 years, there is definitely an issue.
