Tl the contact owns 2013 Hyundai Genesis coupe. The contact stated that the brakes failed to operate effectively while driving. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Honda morristown (4190 w andrew johnson hwy, morristown, TN 37814) however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated that the dealer completed a safety inspection on the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure persisted on a daily basis. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 112,000.
The vehicle has an issue with an inconsistent brake pattern. When the brake peddle is depressed it sometimes will go all the way to the floor and require the operator to "pump the brakes" in order to regain the braking ability. The brake peddle does not require this all the time. I will be having the vehicle looked at by a technician to verify that there is corrosion in the brake fluid reservoir as it appears to myself to be contaminated. The vehicle speed had no correlation to when brakes began to fail and required pumping the peddle in order to regain braking power.
I was stopped at a red light in the left turn lane. All of a sudden I was rolling forward while my food was firm on the brake. I was able to press the brake even further, but I kept rolling forward until I crashed into the car in front of me. Thankfully, it was a very sturdy truck with a trailer hitch. I have damage to my grill where the hitch hit my car. The brake pressed to the floor and did not stop my car from rolling forward. I was able to drive the car to the closest parking lot in that intersection. I waited for a tow to the dealership. The brakes seemed to work fine again; the service department told me there was nothing wrong with my car or its brakes. I left the car with the mechanic to drive home and continue to test it to reinact the problem. When I googled "Hyundai Genesis brake failure", there were a few other instances of this issue. I am so scared to drive my car again.
