1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2025

After Hyundai performed a recall service on my vehicle, the radiator hose burst while I was driving on the highway, causing the engine to fail completely. Smoke came from the engine compartment, and I had to pull over immediately with my family to avoid a serious accident. Before the recall, the vehicle had no issues and ran perfectly for three months after purchase. The problem occurred only a few days after the recall service, which included work on the abs module. Hyundai refused to take responsibility, even though this failure happened right after the recall repair. The dealership and manufacturer did not inspect the vehicle properly and made their decision based only on a phone conversation. This is a severe safety concern because the engine failed suddenly on the highway. I believe this failure is directly related to the recall work performed under NHTSA recall #21v160000, which is still listed as incomplete on NHTSA records.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2021

Esc failed. I was attempting to make a left turn from a stopped position at a typical intersection. I lost control of the vehicle as it started to fishtail once I began the turn. Brakes did not respond and I ended up hitting the curb on the outer lane with both front and rear tires. Side curtain and passenger seat airbags deployed. Vehicle is now a total loss. I believe the faulty esc poises a lot more risk that just a fire. From other reports on Genesis forums by consumers like me, this problem with Hyundai's esc seems to be a common and reoccurring problem. Recall should be updated to include that esc may fail and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive.

15 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2021

This issue has started with my car stalling out in a parking lot sitting idle. The car just turned off. I restarted the car and it turned off again. After this happened I have noticed turning my car on its slow - like the battery is dieing. I went to Hyundai to get a diagostic test and nothing came up and they could not duplicate the car turning over slowly. Since then my car is still slow to start - "sometimes" . Now, I can go out and if I have to make several stops - it is garanteed to start slow and get stuck with the auto brake on - which you can not release. I have a picture of the dashboard and a video of what happens when I drive - no rpm. This is causing me not to drive this car - I use to be a very happy Hyundai Genesis owner.

The brakes drag on the primarily on front passenger side and sounds like its cutting into the rotor. They've been replaced several times and after a few months the issue reappears.

While approaching a red light on a city street with oncoming traffic, brakes were applied. The car started jerking violently, and the brakes were not working. The car then lost power and then power steering. Fortunately, I was able to man handle the car into a hard right and avoid an accident. This was a life threatening situation. The car was towed to jim ellis Hyundai, 5785 peachtree ind. Blvd. , chamblee GA for repair. The shop was unable to replicate any problem and did not fix anything related to brakes or power steering.

23 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2017

On three occasions in the past week I lost all ability to brake. The pedal would go to the floor and the only way to stop the vehicle is to engage the electronic parking brake. On two of those occasions the car only stopped when hitting a snow/ice bank. When depressing the brake pedal, a loud air pressure release sound would emit. Had vehicle towed to dealer but they were unable to duplicate the issue so nothing was replaced. Now I have to drive the vehicle and hope I don't crash into something.
