I got into an accident in October 2019 where I was rear ended and carried into another vehicle but my air bags did not deploy although my headrests did deploy but prior to the accident my car would fishtail when making turns when the roads were wet and while driving on the highway trying to merge into traffic my car loses acceleration all on its own and then gradually picks up speed again I've almost got hit several times because of this. Also my car has shut off on its own in traffic with heavy traffic it was very scary we didn't know what was happening to the car and this has happened twice. Now my car is showing a lot of hard code errors from the abs/esc system to power seat modules they say it's something wrong with the computer system itself because it doesn't notify you of any issues on the dashboard at all. And today I took it to a mechanic shop and multiple b codes showed up which didn't make any sense even cam sensor codes and I just got this car in March 2019.

Sometimes the car won't power on until I slam the door or go through the trunk to wiggle the battery cables. If I turn the steering wheel left it knocks the power out. Sometimes while driving when dark the headlights and go off suddenly then flash back on.

Driving less than 3000 miles since purchased (74,000) - the vehicle has powered down/engine shut 4 times while stopped at a light attempting to turn left and 1 time while accelerating up a hill. All 5 times have been in town roads going under 40 miles per hour or at a stop. The key has been placed in the key insert every time so there was no way for us to bump it while driving. In order to get it started again, you have to place it in park and power it up again. Most recent happened today so we are now filing a complaint.

Brakes failed, brake pedal goes to the floor. Its very difficult to stop the vehicle and sometimes I end up not being able to stop and have to go through the red light or into the ditch. The dealership looked at the car and said that it is the hecu. I have seen numerous realls for Hyundai vehicles for the hecu including the 2011 , 2012 Genesis. And now more Hyundais are being recalled this car needs to be recalled !.
My Hyundai dealer called me today may 15, 2019 and said that the estimate to repair my Genesis brakes would cost $2770. 00 at a minimum, maybe more if the whole system had to be replaced. In other words; (please write a blank check to us. ) this is a Hyundai problem as a manufacturer. They put dot 3 fluid in the system at birth of the car and it caused corrosion interacting with the zinc plating internally. Proper testing wasn't done prior to assembly signoff. The recall changed the fluid to dot 4 and in my case the fluid was not property drained and changed and my pictures of the fluid prove the separation and crud in the brake system. Many Genesis have had this problem and Hyundai should be forced to make this repair on the affected cars. What is a bigger safety concern then having your brakes go out when applied. My car won't stop as the brake pedal goes to the floor all the way down. The abs & esc lights come on when this happened. The brake fluid was changed in 2014 and again in 2019. A new master cylinder, front brake lines, brake light switch and diode was installed in March 2019. Took it to dealer in April 2019 and they all was ok except esc light was on. Drove it home and less then 60 miles the brakes petal again went to the floor. Taking it back to dealer in lima, OH on may 15, 2019. I put in a complaint to consumer affairs@hmausa. Com, but the girl who returned the call, read from a script and said sorry, your car is out of warranty. Please reference your case number 15737333. This car is unfit to drive and from other postings, it will cost $2500 to repair. The cars value is between $3600/5600 dollars. This is an on going safety problem that Hyundai has put off making a proper repair, relying on time and miles to get out of a safety recall. I'm uploading photos of brake fluid taken from my car in March and April 2019.

Brakes are a continuing problem or better said bad brakes, like sometimes going to the floorboard. The esc dash light is on and the cruise control doesn't work either. I had completed a recall on the brake fluid,but shortly after that my my petal went to the floor. Being concerned, I replaced the master cylinder, brake rotors, brake lines and pads. Upon bleeding the system, the dealers new brake fluid came out with sludge floating on top of clear fluid. I contacted the dealers general mgr. And complained of a bad drain repair. He asked me to bring my car in and they'll check it again. I showed him the pictures and they denied that it came from my car, but they would fix my car's brakes for $2700. 00 with no guarantee that it wouldn't cost more. This was tom ah dealer ship in lima, ohio. I feel that Hyundai should be held responsible for these brake problems. I have the fluid saved and pictures also. Upon checking the internet, I have been advised that the esc and cruise control is wired to the abs system. I was on interstate 75 and the car just started applying the brakes by themselves. A ratcheting on off effect. I slowed the car down and pulled the car over to the side. I was within sight of my turnoff state rte 274 OH, so I continued on. I went to stop and my petal went to the floor. I was going slow, made my turn and stopped. I got under the hood just to see if something visual was there. I was within 7 miles of my home a straight line, so I went for it. I pressed on the gas and my left front wheel was locked up. I backed up and went forward again, shutting off the car & restarting it. Brake was released, but petal still went to the floor. I drove home 20 mph, had car towed to dealer for repair. Don't know what they did, but charged $677. 00. A couple days later, my petal went to the floor again. Thats when I did the repairs noted above. Still have problems.

Nhtsa campaign number 16v575000 - my Hyundai is experiencing the exact same symptoms that is portrayed in the campaign number I have listed. I have taken it to a Hyundai dealership multiple times and have been told that they are unaware of what the issue is or have "attempted" to fix the issue yet it still occurs. Now, because I have just surpassed my warranty, the Hyundai dealership is making me pay for all diagnostics and fixes. My VIN, however, does not show that this was a part of this recall. All of my warning indicators illuminate. My steering becomes tight. My backup camera will not work. And my speedometer and tachometer will glitch and not accurately display my speed or rpms. All indicators inside the lcd screen will show me that I have a malfunction. This includes my passenger seat belt, my lane keep assistance, my autonomous emergency braking, my tire pressure, my engine light, as well as my blinkers not properly illuminating or making any sound when turned on. This will occur from time to time and is not always constant. It will also occur at random, whether I am driving, stationary, or if I have just turned my car on for the first time of the day. I have videos and pictures of these events occurring.
This car loses control on ice covered roads, and has happened numerous times. The car appears to be over correcting when roads are ice covered. The rearend of the car begins to slip from side-to-side beginning at speeds of around 40/45 mph. The problem is, it does not happen all the time. It is like there is something wrong with a stability module or something. Dealer say there is nothing they can do unless they can recreate the problem. A very scary situation when it occurs.
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.
"takata recall" I was in motion driving less than 30miles/hour in traffic, stopping few times and kept a good distance. All of a sudden, I applied the brakes to stop but the vehicle did not stop and kept moving fast. I applied the brakes soo hard, vehicle did not stop the collision system that was suppose to stop the vehicle and avoid the collison did nothing. I reported the same issue when I took the vehicle to the dealership during my 1st service and expressed concern regarding the sensors not working. The car has only 6,000 miles. The day was sunny and this happen during rush hour off on golf road in des plaines illinois.
I own a 2009 Hyundai Genesis clearly affected by the recall on brake fluid that affects the brake module. My car has been deemed too dangerous to drive, but was never included in the recall efforts according to my service advisor. I being asked to pay an exorbitant amount to replace the abs module. My advisor has informed me that my VIN # is not included in the recall efforts. So, it appears that although I own a 2009 which is a year that is affected with this problem. . . . My safety does not matter for some reason. My car is experiencing the same issues and will probably create an accident if it is driven. My car should also be included and I do not understand why it is not. The brakes can be depressed all the way to floor board and the car will still begin to roll forward. It will not stop completely! this has been an ongoing issue for a months now and the dealer is telling me my car is not covered by this recall! I am putting today's date, but it has been months now and my safety should be considered as well before something terrible happens.
Tl - the contact stated that he purchased a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated while driving at approximately 75 mph, the traffic began to slow when depressing the brake heard an abnormal noise and the brake pedal felt stiff. The vehicle slowed down to thirty mph, when pressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle would not accelerate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact proceeded to pull over to the right shoulder and called roadside service. The vehicle was turned off and restarted the electronic stabilty control light iluminated the vehicle restarted the function was normal. The vehicle was taken into the dealer to be diagnosed and the failure code indicated brake rotors overheated. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the road failure the vehicle was not repaired . The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70060.
While traveling on the highway, the brake pedal went nearly to the floor before the car began to decelerate. It was clear that the car could only slow moderately regardless of how hard I pressed the brake pedal, and there was no brake engagement at the top of the pedal travel. At home, I took photos of the pedal displacement relative to the firewall and can provide them. Photo 1 shows the state of the pedal when I arrived home. Imagine the amount of pedal force you might use while parallel parking or slowing for an off ramp on the highway. With that amount of force, the pedal was within ~2" of the firewall. Pumping the brake pedal led to increased "feel" and restoring brake effectiveness. Photo 2 shows a larger gap to the firewall after 5 pedal repetitions, and with increased force applied. Photo 3 shows an even larger gap after ~20 pedal repetitions and even higher force applied. The final photo shows that at maximum force, I could only get the pedal to ~3" from the firewall. This was similar to the state that the vehicle was in this morning, and felt "normal" in terms of pedal effort and travel. To reiterate: during the failure, the pedal would push to within 2" of the firewall with minimal effort, and with little braking effectiveness. I could not have performed a panic braking maneuver in this state, and only continued to drive due to the lack of traffic and proximity to my home. After subsequent pedal cycling in my driveway, I could only get the pedal to more than 3" from the firewall with maximum effort, and the base braking function appeared to be normal. To date, the dealer has been unable to reproduce the problem and thus unable to gain authorization from hma to perform any repair. I consider the car undriveable. This vehicle was already serviced for the hecu/brake fluid recall. Hecu passed the screening at that time.
While driving the car, the car speeds up on its own without me pushing the accelerator. The car also has rev hang and the rpms rise by its self and stays their. Usually between 6500rpm. I have to press the break in order for the rpms to drop so its doesn't blow the motor.
The vehicle sets brakes when I accerlate and brings my car to a stop. It will not release the brakes. When the vehicle comes to a stop the vehicle won't move. Yesterday it occurred twice and the second time a female contact her huband and he told her to have me pump the brakes to see if they release. The brakes released. The traction control on the dash figure came on and would not clear. I believe it has be something wrong with that feature on the vehicle. A very dangerous fault.
While driving at 65 mph in 4 lane I-95 rush hour traffic, the check engine light and the esc light both came on and the car would not accelerate. Pressing on the gas pedal had no effect. I turned on flashers and drifted my way through 3 lanes and pulled over and restarted the car. The check engine light came on but not the esc light. The car ran a bit rough with the check engine light on. The exact same thing happened the next day. I took the car to the dealer, and they replaced the throttle position sensor. Based on owner reports at the Genesis owners web site, this has happened to many owners of 2009 v6 Hyundai Genesis. This is very dangerous, and the car should be recalled to fix this potential deadly situation. If I had been driving in the left lane of a highway, a serious accident with potential deaths could have happened. I had to pay 325 dollars to have this issue fixed since it has not been recalled. Please work with Hyundai to ensure this major safety issue is recalled urgently.
The common denominator for what I experienced has been that the car is moving slowly, 5-20 mph (7th or 8th gear), and you floor the accelerator while changing the lane (to merge quickly). All that happens for 1-2 seconds is that the car coasts at the speed you were going (absolutely no power is applied to the wheels), and you see the revs going up and the transmission shifting to a lower and lower gear (but not sending any of that power to the wheels), until it gets to the 2nd or 3rd gear and then your head snaps back as it accelerates very quickly (but 2 seconds too late). So instead of the expected takeoff you get 2 seconds of coasting while the car in the lane that you got into is getting uncomfortably close and has to brake to prevent an accident. This is extremely dangerous and unexpected.
On several occasions since 2/16/13 I have been having intermittent problems of brake pedal gradually going down to the floor at a stop light or while waiting at a stop light the brakes would gradually lose pressure and the car would start creeping forward. This has been occurring whether I am driving 30 mph on residential streets or 70 mph on highway (which I stopped doing!). My husband also drives the car and experienced the same issues. After pumping the brakes, I was finally able to stop. Driving in inclement weather has been almost hazardous. Car taken back to dealer (March 7, 2013), had part replaced, picked up car on March 8, 2013 and had to take the car back the very next morning, March 9, 2013, and the problem was worse than when it was taken in the first time. When this started happening, I was very afraid of having an accident, especially when I never could tell if my brakes would hold with just a simple stop light. I have spoken with other Genesis 2009 owners and found out that this problems as been occurring since July 2012 and Hyundai has been made aware of this problem and certain dealers are not handling the repairs in a customer friendly way, especially since is definitely a safety issue.
Recurrent/ongoing brakes lights failure since June 2012 (brake lamp diode blows out frequently causing brake lamps to be inoperative). Spongy brakes. Have to pump and push harder than normal on brake pedal to stop. Car serviced at tameron Hyundai dealer in b'ham, al (states esc hydraulic module internal valve malfunction, needs replacement). . . . . Updated 05/20/14.
While driving at 65 mph, the check engine light and the esc light both came on and the car would not accelerate. Pressing on the gas pedal had no effect. I pulled over and restarted the car. The check engine light came on but not the esc light. The car ran a bit rough with the check engine light on. The exact same thing happened the next day. I took the car to the dealer, and they replaced the throttle position sensor. Based on owner reports at the Genesis owners web site, this has happened to many owners of 2009 v6 Hyundai Genesis. This is very dangerous, and the car should be recalled to fix this potential deadly situation. If I had been driving in the left lane of a highway, a serious accident with potential deaths could have happened.
With electronic stability control engaged, my new Hyundai Genesis coupe locked the brakes while I was turning into a parking lot. This happened one other time while turning into my driveway. On numerous other occasions the abs has been engaged when making a turn into a slightly raised driveway, but not to the extent that the brakes actually lock; I am able to drive through the braking action. The Hyundai field service rep drove my car and was unable to get the brakes to lock, however, on at least four occasions he got the abs to engage while entering a driveway, accompanied by loud grinding noises. He stated that this was "normal operation due to driveway slope angle combined with wheel base and suspension characteristics. " he went on to say that he could get every Genesis coupe on the lot to do the same thing. Therefore, they felt no repairs were warranted even though I had told them that the brakes had actually locked up, placing me in a dangerous situation. A recent autoblog. Com article noted the severe deficiencies in the Hyundai Genesis coupe electronic stability control that mirror my own experience.
Hyundai Genesis 3. 8l v6 2009 model 1. Steering pull to left - significant pull despite alignment fix 2. Brake jam at low speeds including at traffic light stops 3. Steering noise - when turning left during car parking and back-up 4. Engine noise like motor cycle when driving at moderate speeds 30-65 miles/hour.
I own a 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe. It has multiple problems. The transmission was replaced at 4200 miles and still experiences problems (lurching when put in gear). The paint has had to be refinished, the bluetooth radio function is intermittently broken, traction control does not work on occasion (dash illuminator light indication). I have repeatedly filed complaints with Hyundai corporate regarding the traction control issue. After filing the initial complaint and following up 4 times over the course of a month, I have yet to hear back from them. The traction control turns off, and cannot be reactivated (particularly problematic when weve had so much snow). The bluetooth radio issue stems from the radio playing while the phone is connected. I cannot hear the caller, but they can hear me and the radio. The radio should be off when the phone is engaged. Most of the time, I just cant hear the caller but they can hear me.
