SERVICE BRAKES
The brake pedal travel is inconsistent when applying the brakes. Sometimes when you press the brake pedal the brakes respond immediately. Other times when you apply the brakes you have to push the brake pedal an uncomfortably long distance before the brakes start to respond. This problem is intermittent, so you never really know when its going to happen. This is dangerous. It appears that vehicle models in prior rears, up to 2012, have a recall for the ABS / Stability Control System for these same car types.

I received the letter to call the dealership to fix the recall involving the anti-lock break system. I called my local dealership in Enfield, CT and they had me bring my car in on Thursday [XXX]. So I made arrangements to leave my car there for the day. I get a call in the afternoon stating that they didn’t have the part to fix it and they would have to get it. So after being inconvenienced by not having my car for the day, the problem wasn’t even fixed. So after a couple of weeks of not hearing anything from the dealership, I called to check on it. They still didn’t have the part. So now it’s August 19th and I called again to check on it and there’s still no part to fix it. This is very discouraging since I drive this car often and there’s a fire risk of it being parked or driving. I don’t really understand what is going. Is there no part to fix the recall?

recall issued for significant fire risk from ABS system. It has been over a year now and Hyundai will not even give a time estimate of when they will offer to replace the fuse block that is the fire risk. They tell me to just park my car far from any buildings?!? This is NOT a reasonable plan nor should it be this long. Waiting for the day my car combusts is not reasonable. NHTSA recommended that the dealer offer a loaner vehicle but they have not done that either.

Dallas, TX
SERVICE BRAKES
Intermittent softening of brake pedal when applying pressure to brake while driving and when parked. The brake pedal becomes soft where the vehicle does not slow down because the brake is not applied until you push further. Applying full pressure on the brakes sometimes does not bring the vehicle to a complete stop. This is unsafe because when driving on the highway and traffic comes to a sudden stop, the time for my car to come to a complete stop is significantly and dangerously delayed. If driver does not keep a distance that is more than normal, vehicle has the possibility of crashing and putting the driver and other vehicles near in danger. When taken to Clay Clooney Hyundai of Mesquite, they did not acknowledge recall because there is no remedy for it. The failure of the brake pressurization began early summer of 2023. The vehicle is ready for an inspection to resolve the recall upon request.

This car, along with millions of others, are under a recall since Sept 2023. The car could catch on fire even when parked. They have not come up with a fix. I feel that this is an extreme danger to not only myself and my property, but to others living around me. They are taking way too long for a fix to be determined and the work to be done.

Hyundai is saying I can’t park or drive without concern of a fire hazard. Hyundai was called and they said a remedy would be available by the end of the month. That was said in November and now it is the middle of January. I need a vehicle for everyday life and this is getting costly for me. Usually a remedy is to be resolved within a reasonable time, two weeks on average, contractually speaking. Please resolve this problem immediately.

I was driving to work on 07/14/2022 and my brake pedal was going soft. I than got an abs light and a traction control light. I was concerned and took it in to get a health report on it and to see if there were any codes. The service center than pulled a c2380 code for a Faulty HECU. I started researching this code for myself and seen that there have been recalls for this exact thing for the Hyundai genesis sedans but not the coupes. Please Hyundai revise your list and add the Hyundai Genesis Coupes on to it and make this right.

Vehicle braking fades in a random manner. An independent service center technician experienced the problem during one test drive. The technician assessed the braking system and stated that the master cylinder is operating correctly and there is no air in hydraulic lines. The tech suggested that it could be an issue with the hydraulic ECU which was part of a recall campaign for prior year models. This condition puts the safety of driver, passengers, and other vehicles on the road at risk. No alerts, warnings, or indicators have been triggered on the dash.
