While attempting to brake on exit ramp off an interstate highway, the brake pedal was depressed almost to the floorboard with minimal slowing. The brakes were pumped several times with slowing vehicle speed. Fortunately, the exit ramp was long enough to allow a safe stop. Pedal remains soft and spongy. No warning lights are on. Brakes functioned normally until this incident at 138,200 miles. However, master cylinder was replaced at 102,000 miles for a similar problem at an independent auto shop. I am awaiting a dealer repair time. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

While driving my genesis 2010 sedan, the battery light illuminated, then the power steering did not respond. I was about 1/2 miles from my house and I had to wrestle with my steering wheel until I got home. the scary part was that I unexpectedly lost power steering during a turn at the traffic light. Luckily, no on coming traffic was near as I completed the turn on the opposite slide of the street. I fortunately arrive home, parked the vehicle and had it towed to the mechanics. I learned that the alternator went out and so did the battery. Luckly, during the turn I did not crash, but it was very nervous the rest of the way.

Hello nhtsa administrator, I bought a new hyundai genesis in march 2010. Around august 2010, I had a small fender bender in the parking lot. To keep warranty intact on the car, hyundai insisted that the wiring harness on the car be replaced, which I did for approximately $5000. Since then, I have had multiple electronic items go bad in the car. I replaced some of these at my own expense. But the problem has gotten worse with some expensive electronic components going bad over the last 2 years. in normal circumstances, these components should not go bad over the life of the car, and certainly not at a frequency that they have failed in my car. I attribute these failures to bad/defective job done during wiring harness replacement. But hyundai has refused to accept responsibility since the car IS out of warranty. below IS a list of the bad components, approximate date of the component going bad, whether it IS replaced/fixed and approximate expense to fix them 1. Telescopic steering wheel--2015--repaired as part of warranty 2. Power switch assembly driver's seat--jan 2016--$236.19--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 3. Jog dial assembly--oct 2016--$1031.70--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 4. Front cabin dome light assembly--feb 2017--$376.91--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 5. Smart cruise control--mar 2017--not replaced--dealership gave me a quote of ~$4500 to replace 6. Passenger cabin dome light assembly--aug 2017--not replaced--$4500 estimate to replace 7. Multi disc cd player--feb 2018--not replaced--$1000 estimate to replace I would like nhtsa to investigate hyundai for this matter and force them to pay for repairs. As a consumer, I feed cheated and being forced to double pay for repairs - once for the wiring harness replacement and now for all problems attributed to it. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

Engine cranks normally attempting to start. when failed to start, the 'start' button IS pushed to stop the attempt. tried again. took 3 attempts to finally start. once started the engine revs at high rpm's. when put in 'd' the car lurches and accelerates without pushing gas pedal. if the car IS turned off after starting and restarted, fast acceleration IS eliminated. Car has ultimately started, but the fear IS it will get worse and ultimately fail to start stranding the driver. car runs perfectly in normal driving on the highway. this has occurred almost daily for 90 days. hyundai service: taken to hyundai on two occasions. they say they could not duplicate problem and no computer error codes generated. stumped! can do nothing if problem can't be duplicated by service tech! Keeping quiet? new condition 4/26/18! car has shut down twice at a stop light, 4/26 and 4/29. fear of shutting down while in traffic as reported in user forums. hyundai user forums: dozens of owners disclose that the problem IS widespread across years and models. report that hyundai denies there IS an issue with problematic starting and stalling at low speeds and high speeds! owners report fear of serious accident if the car stalls on the highway, entering traffic or making turns across traffic.

Background: am original owner of this 2010 hyundai genesis that was purchased july 31, 2010 and that currently has less than 35,000 miles on it. issue: unexpectedly, the brakes became "squishy" (i.e. Brake pedal depressed a long distance before engaging brakes). advised by hyundai dealer that it IS a faulty hecu unit and needs to be replaced for $3,800. note: the brake fluid was replaced in april 2013 and the hecu unit was supposedly inspected in january 2014. I believe these were done in response to prior recalls. that said, upon some further reading on the internet, I am under the impression that when this problem was previously identified for recall, the recall should have resulted in my hecu unit being replaced, not just inspected. I intend to raise this issue with the hyundai dealer and, hopefully, hyundai will stand behind the replacement of the hecu unit without charging me.

- Brake hydraulic control module failure
On October 28, 2013, Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) to NHTSA describing a safety defect in the braking system of approximately 43,500 model year (MY) 2009 through 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedans (NHTSA Recall No. 13V-489).The Hyundai report indicates that the recalled vehicles…
On October 28, 2013, Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) to NHTSA describing a safety defect in the braking system of approximately 43,500 model year (MY) 2009 through 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedans (NHTSA Recall No. 13V-489).The Hyundai report indicates that the recalled vehicles may contain brake fluid that does not sufficiently inhibit corrosion on the zinc plating of control valve armatures in the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) module. The DIR indicated that, over time, the build-up of corrosion products may affect operation of HECU control valves, resulting in a low/soft brake pedal with reduced brake effectiveness, which may increase the risk of a crash.In October 2011, the HECU supplier notified Hyundai that the brake fluid used in production plants was causing corrosion of valve armatures in the control module.The supplier changed the coating of the valve armatures in late March 2012 to correct the problem in production vehicles.Hyundai's recall includes Genesis vehicles produced prior to the implementation of the HECU change.In March 2013, Hyundai initiated a Service Campaign (TL6) to replace brake fluid in the subject vehicles with brake fluid with better corrosion resistance properties.According to Hyundai's DIR letter, after PE13-033 was opened, the company noted that some of the vehicles serviced in the TL6 campaign subsequently required HECU replacement.This was an indication that internal corrosion had progressed enough to affect valve operation and brake performance, prompting Hyundai to conduct a safety recall.Hyundai's repair procedures for 13V-489 require brake system flushing and replacement in all recalled vehicles with a new fluid containing the necessary corrosion inhibitor.In addition, for vehicles produced prior to June 1, 2010, dealers will perform an inspection procedure to verify that the HECU is functioning properly and replace units that do not meet the test requirements.Hyundai indicated that, based on analysis of claim data, only vehicles produced prior to June 1, 2010 have been in service long enough to require the additional inspection/replacement of the HECU. Analysis of failure data reported to NHTSA and provided by Hyundai in response to ODI's information request letter for PE13-033 identified 756 complaints and 1,683 warranty claims for 30,114 subject vehicles produced prior to June 1, 2010, resulting in a complaint rate of 25.1 incidents per thousand vehicles (IPTV) and a claim rate of 5.6 percent.The MY 2009 vehicles, with the longest exposure times, experienced the highest complaint (33.5 IPTV) and warranty (7.0 percent) rates.For the 45,639 subject vehicles produced after June 1, 2010, ODI identified 13 complaints and 34 warranty claims, resulting in a complaint rate of 0.3 IPTV and a warranty claim rate of 0.1 percent, indicating that the brake fluid corrosion concern had not progressed far enough to result in significant rates of brake system performance symptoms in those vehicles.This investigation is closed.ODI will continue to monitor complaints to evaluate the effectiveness of Hyundai's recall.The VOQs noted in the Failure Report are: 10569231, 10560898, 10560495, 10559360, 10558279, 10558264, 10556964, 10556631, 10556577, 10556322, 10554988, 10554802, 10554122, 10552958, 10551817, 10551157, 10551110, 10551092, 10550791, 10550773, 10550431, 10549750, 10549634, 10549629, 10549567, 10549402, 10549376, 10549270, 10549228, 10549186, 10549021, 10548903, 10548823, 10548791, 10548737, 10548722, 10548716, 10548705, 10546565, 10544803, 10543663, 10542962, 10541959, 10541741, 10538208, 10537934, 10536652, 105354
