Brakes Failed Problems of Hyundai Genesis - part 1

Brake failure. Brake pedal must be pumped to completely depress the brakes and stop the car. This issue persists throughout use of the vehicle and no matter whether at highway speeds or in town. The issue began suddenly and has been consistent with the vehicle since that point. The brakes not being fully functional render the car unsafe to drive under any driving conditions. Cruise control light turns on intermittently and cruise control is fequently unavailable on the car.

Ibrake failure! hydraulic module assy failure was driving the vehicle and during the drive, my brake all of a sudden became soft and required me to push all the way to the floor to stop the car. I believe it's referred to as spongy brakes. I took the car to an independent mechanic shop and they diagnosed a faulty hydraulic module assembly. I also called the dealer and they mentioned there was a recall on the brake fluid due to its potential to cause corrosion in the brake system. The dealer is now quoting me ~$3,400 to repair and replace the hydraulic module assy. Wow!! I called Hyundai USA and they said since the car was out of warranty they would not cover the repair, I informed them of the recall on fluid and they said it does not cover the parts that were damaged by the bad fluid. This is unfair and excessive behavior on the part Hyundai. Clearly they recognized the fluid was damaging brake components but are unwilling to cover related repairs. The brakes on this car are an accident waiting to happening since the brakes are failing. I would not buy another Hyundai vehicle knowing they won't cover critical safety components. Others have voiced the same issue with no support from Hyundai .

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.

Recall on car back in 2014 for brake failure. Improper fluid used causing abs assist module to fail resulting in soft break pedal. Purchased vehicle in 2014 used and never told of this issue after purchasing vehicle nor never sent any info. Electrical problems , drive seat wont respond , wind shield wipers randomly turning on . Tail lights not working also on recall. This notification also never sent to use resulting in the vehicle being rear ended last year . Passenger seat head rest deployed and not drivers. Car was fixed and a couple of weeks ago the passenger head reset deployed again hitting my daughter and at the same exploded and came of its frame landing in the back seat. Hyundia dealer wont do anything other than whats on recall now.

Steering is extremely tight and difficult to turn. Brake failure, had it checked out by the dealer who "fixed" it, however, the problem came back on after 3 weeks.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that the abs system on her vehicle was defective. The contact stated that when driving at any speed her brakes failed. There was no collision and there were no warning lights illuminated before or after the failure. The vehicle was taken to the earnhardt Hyundai north scottsdale dealership (8445 e frank lloyd wright blvd, scottsdale, az 85260) where the vehicle was diagnosed. The diagnosis determined that the failure part was the abs system. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. Approximate failure mileage was 36,000. The VIN was not provided. Sh.

When applying brakes whether on residential streets, backing out of the garage or on the highway the brake peddle continues to sink to the floor and only provides very little stopping power (something like a coasting stop). Since this recently started happening I have discovered that pumping the brakes helps to get better stopping results but it is now scary to drive. I had the break fluid replaced as a result of Hyundai's campaign 114 recall in July of 2014, however I am now experiencing what appears to be consistent brake failure. I have contacted Hyundai consumer affairs and they basically stated that because I had the campaign 114 recall done that there is nothing else they can do regarding the possible hecu module failure as a result of deterioration due to the dot-3 brake fluid exposure. I also find it hard to accept that the hecu module was taken off and the valves inspected by the dealer as part of the recall. I sincerely believe that this issue was never resolved on the original 114 recall and now I am responsible for the repair cost as Hyundai is refusing to cover this under warranty. My car has 74k miles on it. Something needs to be done as anyone driving one of these vehicles is in very serious danger of severe injury or death to themselves or others as this car is not safe to drive as a result of an oversight by Hyundai.

After driving steadily at 35-40 without braking, applied brakes approaching cars stopped a light. The brake pedal went nearly to the floor and the car only slowed minimally. After several pumps, braking returned and I was able to stop before colliding with the stopped traffic. After that, the car braked normally. This was the 2nd time this happened, the first time being just a few days earlier. The initial episode was less dramatic. There were no warning lights before or after the event. The car is at the dealer for service now. This was incredibly scary; I could have pushed the car in front of me through the intersection into 60mph highway traffic. The brake fluid had been replaced under a TSB at 6,502 miles due to corrosion issues related to the hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu). It's frightening to think this problem may be responsible for a serious brake failure at just 64,000 miles.

Bh Genesis sedan hecu inspection and brake fluid replacement (recall 114). Brake failing, dealer diagnosis (attached) said that the brake fluid has already been change before I bought the car and that the hecu that is failing should be at my charge. Car only has 70,000 miles, 5 years old , I argued that this unit should not been failing and that they may have take too long to change the fluid that caused corrosion. Hyundai was fine for recall long overdue. Attached is diagnosis, recall from NHTSA and fine. Thank you for your help.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that while in attempt to make a right turn at 5 mph that the vehicle stalled causing the power steering to seize, the brakes failed with the battery and check engine warning lights illuminated. The failure had occurred two more additional times. The last occurence, the vehicle was pushed to a parking lot. A tow company was called, however the vehicle started back up on its own. The vehicle was not towed, and driven back home. The local dealer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Jb.

I was driving at a speed of about 50mph when a large truck ran through a stoplight on 9/10/2017. I applied my brakes and the pedal went all the way to the floor. The vehicle slowed and I was able to narrowly avoid the truck actually by inches. My car was towed to the Hyundai dealer and has had the abs brake module replaced. The brake fluid recall tl6 was performed 6/17/2013. On 5/26/2016 I took the Genesis to the dealer because of a similar brake failure. Dealer told me everything was normal and sent me home with the car. I was not notified that this has been a danger with this car. I feel it is a serious danger to me and to the safety of the public and I should have been notified of the danger when the fluid recall was done in 2013.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. While driving approximately 7 mph, the brakes failed to work when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a wall. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000(service brakes, hydraulic), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that the brakes failed even when the pedal was depressed to the floor. The dealer stated that the hydraulic electronic control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,000.

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.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. While driving 5 mph, the brakes failed. The contact continued to depress the brake pedal and it traveled to the floorboard of the vehicle. The contact was able to use the brakes just enough to get the vehicle to a dealer. The dealer repaired the brakes, but the issue recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 47,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that approximatley 80% of the vehicle's brakes failed while driving approximately 50 mph. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was not diagnosed. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired according to NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes) in February of 2015. The vehicle was not reapired. The manufacturer was notfied of the failure. The failure mielage was approximately 63,000.

The brake pedal would become soft while driving and would travel to the floor with little to no stopping power. Several times both on city streets and freeways the vehicle became difficult to slow or stop and almost resulted in several collisions. The vehicle had been recalled and previously serviced with new brake fluid per NHTSA campaign 13v489000. At 59,000 miles I had alerted the Hyundai service department about the brake failure. They were unable to reproduce the problem. The problem persisted and now they were able to reproduce the issue. The intermittent failure of the brake system is life threatening and needs to be addressed. Their is quite obviously degradation of the brake system components due to the original brake fluid not having corrosion inhibitors.

Brake pedal occasionally will not engage the brakes until it is at the floor. Feels like a brake failure at first and the pedal moves all the way to the floor before the brakes engage. Almost had a wreck running into the back of someone from this. It does not do this all the time, but is now happening more frequently. Usually once or twice a week.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis. While driving 35 mph merging into traffic, there was no response when the brake pedal was depressed. The brakes failed and the vehicle jumped a curb. There were no injuries. The front bumper and front and rear wheels were damaged. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear braking system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 68,000.

2009 Hyundai Genesis, in motion street and highway. Total brake failure. No warning, no dashboard light warning. Columbia Hyundai advised that the brake failure is due to failure of the abs control box. In other words total, un-announced failure of anti skid control box caused a complete brake system failure in this car.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact was driving approximately 60 mph and attempting to stop the vehicle when the brake system failed causing the brake pedal to extend to the floor and extending the stopping distance. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact indicated that the remedy for NHTSA recall number 13v489000 (braking system) was completed 4 months earlier but the failure still occurred. The failure mileage was 101,000. Jft.

On September 19, 2015, when approaching a red light, the brake pedal went all the way to the floorboard and the car would not stop. Repeated pumping of the pedal finally brought the car to a stop. Within an hour a second event occurred on the freeway when approaching another car from the rear. The brake pedal had no resistance and went all the way to the floorboard. It has not occurred again. Two days later I took the car (carefully) into the dealer. They have, as yet, been unable to replicate the problem (as Hyundai requires for warranty consideration). However, I will not drive this car or let my wife use it until this is diagnosed and repaired. It is extremely unsafe. This type of brake failure has been noted repeatedly in the 2009 Hyundai Genesis. I am stuck with an unusable car and a manufacturer who will not recognize the severity of this issue. The dealer does not want to repeatedly subject their staff to the risk of an accident but Hyundai requires the problem be validated by another occurrence when driven by dealer staff.

Brake pedal almost went to floor before it started to come to a stop. We didn't hit anything because we were in parking lot but if this had happened on the highway, there would have been an accident. This problem started suddenly and has continued. The car is now in a repair shop. There was a recall to replace the brake fluid and this was done in January 2014. The wrong brake fluid was in the car for four years before it was replaced. It seems reasonable that this current brake failure is due to the four years of improper brake fluid although Hyundai will take no responsibility for this brake issue.

While returning home today I was on the freeway when traffic slowed suddenly I braked somewhat firmer than normal and pedal went soft and travelled to the floor. I pumped the brakes quickly but pedal stilled travelled close to the floorboard. I stopped just barely in time, probably just a few inches from the car in front of me. So the brake system failed somewhere in the hydraulics I believe. I am aware there has been many complaints of this car doing this.

When I try stopping the brake pedal pushes to the bottom but doesn't stop the car. The brakes fail. I brought it into Hyundai service and they said they can't duplicate the problem. It happens around 50% of the time while driving.

In July 2014, I visited my local Hyundai dealership to take care of a recall notice that I had received and they promptly took care of two recalls, one of which was campaign 114 - replacing brake fluid and inspecting the hydraulic ecu (hecu). The recall has to do with the old fluid corroding portions of the hecu and causing brake failure. Well to that point, I had not had any brake failures or problems, but it was within a week of the inspection I applied the brakes very hard to stop and avoid hitting a car on the highway, the brakes worked fine, but upon hitting the brakes a second time, the pedal went all the way to floor before any braking was applied to the wheels. It stayed that way for the remainder of my trip (some 10-15 more miles) I attempted to pump the brakes and even stopped at a local gas station and turned the car off and on again to see if it remedied the problem, it did not. When I returned home, I began to look into what would cause this, and that is when found out that campaign 114 was in play to actually attempt to prevent this type of disaster. The next day I drove a different vehicle to work and when I returned home (still the month of July 2014) I tried the brakes on the Hyundai again and they seemed to work fine. I cautiously drove the car and didn't have another failure until today, when I was on the highway and applied the brakes harder than usual, the very next braking event my pedal again went all the way to the floor. I assume that whenever a hard braking event occurs these symptoms return. I made it to work and spent 4-5 hours there and left early to the dealer told them the story and said they are working fine right now since the car was off and on again, and while they are still investigating this, they told me already that the hecu is checking out ok. This is dangerous and needs to be recalled.

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.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. While driving at an unknown speed, the brakes failed and the brake pedal sank to the floor. The dealer stated that the inner ball joints and the hydraulic electronic control unit failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

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.

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.

Forty five minutes after picking up my new ( to me ) car at the dealership I had purchased it from I was driving down the road and in an instant I had to step on the brakes hard because the truck in front of me stopped quickly to make a left hand turn. Upon doing so the brake pedal went all the way down and I crashed into the truck. After the crash I restarted the car to move it to the side of the road and it stopped normally like it should. I was left with the feeling that I had no brakes for that instant. Totally un aware of a brake recall on the new car, when I found out later that night about the recall I was upset because I couldnt believe that a well established 30 years in business dealership would sell me a car and not have mentioned or even taken care of it. On the following Monday after the accident I called Hyundai motor of America to verify that my new to me Genesis had never been recalled (repaired yet ) . Hyundai said they were sorry and sent me out an investigation packet that I am currently filling out and gathering information for. They also asked me what I was seeking from Hyundai. I replied. I wanted my car fixed perfect. The truck I hit repaired. My recall taken care of and would like some sort of statement or document stating that my car was prone to brake failure so I can appeal the sir charge I will recieve from my insurance company for the next five years at 500-600 per year for an at fault accident. My car was towed away to a body shop with considerable damage and is currently unable to be driven.
