The brake pedal travel is inconsistent when applying the brakes. Sometimes when you press the brake pedal the brakes respond immediately. Other times when you apply the brakes you have to push the brake pedal an uncomfortably long distance before the brakes start to respond. This problem is intermittent, so you never really know when its going to happen. This is dangerous. It appears that vehicle models in prior rears, up to 2012, have a recall for the abs / stability control system for these same car types.
2013 Hyundai Genesis sedan (bh) is experiencing the intermittent soft brake pedal and reduced braking pressure that matches the TSB 22-br-001h for the hecu on 2009-2012 Genesis sedans. I took it to the local dealership but their mechanic said they could not recreate the condition. The abs and esc lights have both come on at times but I was told there are no stored codes. The tech noted that the rear driver brake pads appeared to have some additional wear indicating additional abs activity or sticking brake pads. I paid to have a brake service performed and the brake fluid flush/replacement performed to eliminate the concern of any air entrapment or sticking brake pads. However, this work did not resolve the problem. The shop said there are no open recalls nor brake related tsbs for the 2013. They have not fully tested the master cylinder, booster, nor the hecu. With no support for the model year, despite the many issues reported for this problem on the 2013 and Hyundai's knowledge of these problems form 2009-2020 model years, this TSB should be expanded for additional model years and likely should be considered as a recall repair due to the safety risk of brake pressure loss.
Dealer and corporate is refusing to do a safety recall without a paid diagnostic first.

I brought the car in the dealership for the recall (251). The dealership was not able to fix the recall, which affected other parts of the car. The dealership could not fix the other parts. The vehicle was inspected by the manufacturer. The dealership did not allow to pick up the car from their parking lot. The manufacturer refuses to pay for the car or other expensives caused by this recall.
I received the letter to call the dealership to fix the recall involving the anti-lock break system. I called my local dealership in enfield, CT and they had me bring my car in on Thursday [xxx]. So I made arrangements to leave my car there for the day. I get a call in the afternoon stating that they didn’t have the part to fix it and they would have to get it. So after being inconvenienced by not having my car for the day, the problem wasn’t even fixed. So after a couple of weeks of not hearing anything from the dealership, I called to check on it. They still didn’t have the part. So now it’s August 19th and I called again to check on it and there’s still no part to fix it. This is very discouraging since I drive this car often and there’s a fire risk of it being parked or driving. I don’t really understand what is going. Is there no part to fix the recall? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My car caught on fire after going to Hyundai and being told “the only thing you have to worry about is your breaks locking up. My car was parked in the driveway and caught on fire from the engine bay.
Soft brake pedal on application. . . And continues to floor before any active braking. No warning or lights active on dash. This results in extended braking distance and possible collision with vehicles ahead. Issue is known to manufacturer and dealers. Dealers delay avoid repairs stating no parts (58920-3m3a6) available. Hyundai TSB 21-br-001h-1 issued for Hyundai Genesis 2009thru 2012 manufacture date, however braking failures continue for later model years due same part #. Dealer diagnosed issue.
There is an unresolved recall. This recall has been going on since sept with no resolution I feel it is vital to get this resolved ASAP.
Hyundai is saying I can’t park or drive without concern of a fire hazard. Hyundai was called and they said a remedy would be available by the end of the month. That was said in November and now it is the middle of January. I need a vehicle for everyday life and this is getting costly for me. Usually a remedy is to be resolved within a reasonable time, two weeks on average, contractually speaking. Please resolve this problem immediately.
Brake pedal has to be pushed harder than normal to get brakes to engage. Dealer has diagnosed problem as faulty abs module which is not considered as part of recall for ccu unit on other Hyundai models.
On multiple occasions, occurring more and more frequently, my 2013 Genesis r-spec sedan has experienced brake pedal fade issues. The brakes work fine one minute and the next the pedal will go almost to the floor before slowing the vehicle down. The car has approximately 150k miles and is still in great shape. Brakes have been serviced, checked, and inspected by a reputable mechanic. No leaks or other issues noted. I did find a TSB related to this, Hyundai TSB 21-be-003h-1, also it looks like there is a recall on earlier models, recall number13v-489 / 114, built on or before March of 2012. My car was built oct 2012, but I believe it is affected. I contacted my local dealer to check to see if the TSB had been expanded or if there were any other issues and no deal. The person on the phone did tell me my car was not covered under the two issues above. I have since made an appointment to have the computer scanned to gather additional data. Please advise.

This car, along with millions of others, are under a recall since sept 2023. The car could catch on fire even when parked. They have not come up with a fix. I feel that this is an extreme danger to not only myself and my property, but to others living around me. They are taking way too long for a fix to be determined and the work to be done.
Recall issued for significant fire risk from abs system. It has been over a year now and Hyundai will not even give a time estimate of when they will offer to replace the fuse block that is the fire risk. They tell me to just park my car far from any buildings?!? this is not a reasonable plan nor should it be this long. Waiting for the day my car combusts is not reasonable. Nhtsa recommended that the dealer offer a loaner vehicle but they have not done that either.

Intermittent softening of brake pedal when applying pressure to brake while driving and when parked. The brake pedal becomes soft where the vehicle does not slow down because the brake is not applied until you push further. Applying full pressure on the brakes sometimes does not bring the vehicle to a complete stop. This is unsafe because when driving on the highway and traffic comes to a sudden stop, the time for my car to come to a complete stop is significantly and dangerously delayed. If driver does not keep a distance that is more than normal, vehicle has the possibility of crashing and putting the driver and other vehicles near in danger. When taken to clay clooney Hyundai of mesquite, they did not acknowledge recall because there is no remedy for it. The failure of the brake pressurization began early summer of 2023. The vehicle is ready for an inspection to resolve the recall upon request.
The problem is with the car's braking. Sometimes, the brake pedal will exhibit a "low brake pedal" problem, where the point where the brake pedal starts to stop the car is lower than normal. If I use the brakes and then use them again right away, the brakes always stop the car as they should. But sometimes, you have to press the brake pedal further to the floor to get the car to stop. I've had the brake fluid replaced and this didn't change the behavior. The Hyundai dealership said the problem is either a faulty automatic brake system (abs) component or a faulty master cylinder. At this point, the car still stops, however, it's odd to have to press the brake pedal further to have to get the car to stop. As this gets worse, the pedal may have to be pressed to the floor to get the car to stop. And eventually, the car might not stop even if the brake pedal is pressed to the floor. This problem is just like NHTSA recall campaign #13v489000, which affects Hyundai year models 2009-2012. But my car is a 2013, just one year after that recall's model year window.
I was driving to work on 07/14/2022 and my brake pedal was going soft. I than got an abs light and a traction control light. I was concerned and took it in to get a health report on it and to see if there were any codes. The service center than pulled a c2380 code for a faulty hecu. I started researching this code for myself and seen that there have been recalls for this exact thing for the Hyundai Genesis sedans but not the coupes. Please Hyundai revise your list and add the Hyundai Genesis coupes on to it and make this right.
Vehicle braking fades in a random manner. An independent service center technician experienced the problem during one test drive. The technician assessed the braking system and stated that the master cylinder is operating correctly and there is no air in hydraulic lines. The tech suggested that it could be an issue with the hydraulic ecu which was part of a recall campaign for prior year models. This condition puts the safety of driver, passengers, and other vehicles on the road at risk. No alerts, warnings, or indicators have been triggered on the dash.

Happend on 11/13/2021 morning around 10. 30 am. I lost complete control on my Hyundai Genesis 2013 (v8, race specification 5. 0) on brakes. I was gonig downhill and wanted to control the car but car was not responsive at all after applying breaks. This happened only for a few seconds, the engigne light came up on dashboard, a couple of other lights on dashboard also may have lighted, but I did not remember which one. I was very scared for a few moments. The engine light and other alram ligts went down and I got control. I want to take this car to nearby Hyundai dealer but I wanted to record this incident, so that if it happens while I drive, I should not be blamed for reckless driving. I am driving this car for many years (since 2013) and this has never happened before.
