Brakes Failed Problems of Hyundai Genesis - part 2

I was traveling approximately 25 mph in a residential neighborhood, preparing to come to a stop at an intersection when I depressed the brake pedal and it went all the way to the floor without stopping the car. I pumped the brakes and it then engaged and stopped the car. I carefully and slowly drove the car to the dealership the following morning. After inspecting the car, the dealership told me that the hecu and abs module would need to be replaced and the brake fluid flushed and replaced. They said this would cost about $3,000 and they contacted my extended warranty insurance carrier to attempt to get the cost covered by insurance. A day later the dealership told me that the insurance company had sent an inspector out to test drive the car and would send another inspector tomorrow to inspect the hecu and abs module and they're still attempting to work with them to get the cost covered. I took the car in for the safety recall on 10/24/13 and the brake fluid was replaced, and I also had new brakes installed on 3/8/14, yet I still had the brakes fail a month later. Hyundai should be doing the repairs without question and instead they're trying to get the extended warranty insurance carrier to cover it and I'm having to wait it out while they bicker about costs.

While traveling at about 10mph in a parking lot the brake pedal went to the floor when I tried to stop. There was minimal braking. The brakes started to work normally and then failed again within minutes. The car was then towed to the dealer. The dealer said there was no recall on my car and so did Hyundai. I researched the NHTSA data base and found the recall related to brake failures in the Genesis which would have affected my car. I have never received a recall notice even though my car was produced 3/24/12 and according to NHTSA all cars produced up to and including 3/28/12 were to have been recalled .

While driving the car at 5. 20 pm on Monday December 2, 2013, my brakes failed. The brake pedal almost went to the floor, were very soft, and only barely worked. I managed to stop the car without hitting any other vehicle. Since I was close to home, I carefully maneuvered the car to my garage where it was safely parked. On Tuesday morning (the next day) I had the car towed to shawnee mission Hyundai. That afternoon they called me back to say that the problem was complete failure of the brake control module (hecu). Upon investigation, and without any advice or assistance from the people at Hyundai, I have discovered that this is a known issue for Hyundai, and the subject of a recall. I am writing to inform the authority that the parts failed on my car.

I was traveling approximately around 45mph when I pressed on the brake to stop at a intersection. However the car had other plans and didn't stop as desired due to the brake pedal going to the floor! thankfully, no traffic was in the oncoming lane and the turn lane for me just turned green. I was able to go around the car ahead of me and make the turn without incident. I then proceeded to limp the car over to the local Hyundai dealership here in jacksonville, FL. They diagnosed it as a bad abs module for the brakes. My 3rd party warranty company wouldn't repair the car due to no check engine light coming on from this brake failure. Key Hyundai repaired the car at no additional cost to me even with my car having 63k miles on it. Another thing to note is that they had just changed out the brake fluid due to a TSB a few months prior of which the old fluid could cause corrosion on the brake system from what I understand.

This is the second time in a week where the brakes have just failed. The brake pedal will go all the way to the floor. After pumping the pedal pressure is restored. Concerned about safety going forward.

I missed my right hand turn that I usually make to exit my community, so I stopped and put the vehicle in reverse using the backup camera as a guide. I noticed that I was getting too close to the sidewalk curbing and I noticed a large tree not to far from the curbing, so I turned my body around to my right side to get a visual look. While I was doing this I put my foot on the break pedal,turned my body back to a normal driving position and the brake pedal went right to the floor never stopping the vehicle. The steering wheel suddenly moved to the right and then I heard a large sound ( the rear end of the vehicle crashing into the tree that I saw. ) all of this that happened took about seven to ten seconds!! I released my seat belt and got of the car to see the damage. The rear end of the bumper on the passenger side was severely damaged, the quarter panel on the same side was blown out and the top of the trunk toward the right side was actually ripped and dented. Ironically I had an appointed with the dealership to check the brakes the same day of the accident. I was determined to find out why the brakes failed. So I drove the vehicle knowing I had no brakes and miraculously made it to the dealership. The service personal saw how badly the vehicle was damaged and I explained to them what had happened. One of the girls in service department, I don't remember her name, completed the paper work and I was told I had to leave the vehicle. She also told me that there would no charge for any repairs because thats how Hyundai treats their customers thats' when old light bulb went off and I asked her if there were any recalls on vehicle and she said no. The next day I saw the repair form and that brake fluid was replaced twice and failed twice. He noticed that the auto antilock braking system module failed. He replaced that brakes o. K. I received back injury,under doctors care.

I was driving out of my community to an appointment I had with Hyundai dealership to check brakes when I missed right turn. I stopped the car putt it in reverse using camera as my visual. I noticed I was getting closer to curb and sidewalk so I turned my body to my right and saw there was a big tree close to sidewalk. I was turning back to normal driving position and applying the brakes at same time when the pedal went completely to the floor,the steering moved to the right, never stopping the car. I heard a loud crashing noise and my body being severely jerked back and forth. I noticed the auto collapsing head rest popped up. I removed my seat belt put the car into park and went to see the damage. Sure enough I had hit the tree which showed no sign of damage but the rear bumper on the passenger side was severely damaged,quarter panel was blown out and top of the trunk middle right was actually ripped and torn. I was determined to see why the brakes failed so I drove the car without any brakes and miraculously made it to dealership. One of service girls saw my damaged car and asked what happened. I told her brakes failed. She told me not to worry because they will fix car without any charge because thats how Hyundai treats their customers. I asked if there were recalls on the car, she said no. They told me my car will be ready next day. I went next morning and asked for the report on car which said brake fluid was changed twice and brakes failed twice. The service tech noticed auto anti locking brake module failed. He put in a new one, replaced braking fluid for third time, test drove the car and said brakes ok. When driving car brakes felt better. At home I started to feel light headed and few days latter back and neck pains started to get worse. Pain was so bad I went to urgent care center, gave me an injection and predizone for inflammation and pain. I'm under pain doctors care.

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.

My local dealer, kuhio motors, has failed to correct a brake problem that has been on-going for over two months. The dashboard warning lights for the anti-lock brakes (abs) and electronic stability control (esc) have been burning continuously for over two months. Kuhio motors, my Hyundai dealer, has failed to correct the problem after three visits for service. I understand that several Genesis drivers have experienced brake failure due to a defective braking control module.
