2011 Hyundai Genesis brake problems

SERVICE BRAKES

Noticed after driving my Hyundai genesis and once running for roughly 15-20 mins once the engine has warmed up I noticed a bounce feeling coming from the front end(I thought)and then noticed my speed dropped and when pressure was apply to the gas pedal it wouldn’t go, as the car slowed down by itself until it came to a complete stop I cutt the car off and began walking around to where I smelled something burning and then seen smoke coming from my front driver wheel to discover my brake had locked up for no reason. I left the car to cool down and returned to get it and luckily it was unlocked and was successful to drive it home(4min drive), a couple days later I had to take my son to school to where it did the exact same thing again, days later I had all braking replaced which failed to solve the issue. This has been happening for over 4 months now and has always been my daily driver and has always been upkept and never had any issues with my car until now. I’m a single parent with two children whom I have to take to school daily and pickup and this issue has already cost me a lot however I was made aware of this issue by a professional mechanic whom said my car has a current recall for this exact issue I’m having but my vin doesn’t show it even thought everything lines up!

The HECU has been malfunctioning in my car for over a year now. It is an open recall for my make, model and year of car. I took it to Bob Rohrman Indy Hyundai and they diagnosed the failed part. This part affects my ABS. There are currently two warning lights on one for the ECS which is the traction control stabilizer and the ABS light is on. Meaning the use of the breaking system is limited and not working properly. I have asked the corporate Hyundai to uphold the recall warranty but I was advised they would not cover this because my vehicle has a rebuilt title. I drive my vehicle on a daily basis and I’m terrified of my brakes going out. The corrosion from the fluid is what causes the HECU to malfunction and it is so scary to think about. This problem was diagnosed and first reported to my his dealership on 6/23/2022.

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 Z01 DIODE FAILED CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THERE IS NO WARNING TO THE DRIVER THAT THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HYUNDAI. THEY RELEASED A TSB, TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 09-BE-023, CONCERNING THE ISSUE BUT THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE SAME DIODE WHEN IT HAS FAILED. NO IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE PART MORE RELIABLE. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER HAS NO INDICATION THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PUTTING THEM, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK OF A SERIOUS REAR END COLLISION.

MY 2011 HYUNDAI GENESIS IS EXPERIENCING BRAKING FAILURE. I HAVE ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO MY CAR'S INABILITY TO COME TO A STOP IN A REASONABLE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN FOLLOWING VEHICLES THAT COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. THE PEDAL DEPRESSES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND IS VERY SPONGY. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT CONSISTENT. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON, HYUNDAI EXCLUDED MY VIN DESPITE IT FALLING WITHIN THE MANUFACTURE PERIOD OF HYUNDAI CARS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED A FAILED ABS SYSTEM, SPECIFICALLY STATING THAT THE INTERNAL SEALS OF THE HECU (ESC UNIT) WERE WORN CAUSING POOR SEALING. THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THE CORROSIVE BRAKE FLUID THAT THEY REPLACED FOR THEIR CAMPAIGN TL6. UNDER HYUNDAI'S RECALL CAMPAIGN 114, THE HECU SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED IN ADDITION TO CHANGING THE FLUID. HYUNDAI MERELY REPLACED THE FLUID. THIS HAS CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY BRAKING SYSTEM THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.

BRAKES ARE VERY MUSHY. OFTEN GOING TO FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING. HAVE TO PUMP BRAKES TO STOP. DEALER SAYS THE HEC UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (PART IS $3500). THIS 2011 HYUNDAI GENESIS WAS BUILT IN DURING TIME FRAME OF EARLIER RECALL BECAUSE HYUNDAI WAS USING CORROSIVE BRAKE FLUID. EARLIER MODELS WERE RECALLED BUT MINE WAS NOT? WHY? NOW THAT 6 YEARS HAVE PASSED, THE CORROSIVE BRAKE FLUID IS NOW CAUSING LATER MODELS TO FAIL. ALL MODELS BUILT DURING THE TIME FRAME IN WHICH CORROSIVE BRAKE FLUID WAS USED SHOULD BE RECALLED AND MFG SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE HEC UNIT ... NOT JUST THE BRAKE FLUID. ALL QUESTIONABLE VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE FIRST RECALL.

AFTER A BRAKE JOB, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO SAY THAT THE PEDAL WAS GOING TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TOLD I HAD A LEAK IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. GOT THAT REPAIRED. AFTER HAVING THE MASTER CYLINDER REPAIRED, I AM NOW BEING TOLD I HAVE TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ABS, HECU). DID SOME RESEARCH, AND SAW THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE FOR 48,000 GENESIS BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2008 AND 2012. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY BRAKE FLUID CORROSION. MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I REPORTED THE INITIAL ISSUE AT 64,000 MILES. CAR IS NOW AT 80,000. IT HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT HAD AN ENGINE REPLACED COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE THE AUTOMOBILE IS IN MOTION THE BRAKE PEDAL IS MUSHY TO THE POINT THAT IT ALMOST REACHES DEAD BOTTOM BEFORE ENGAGING THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE STREET NO MATTER THE SPEED. REPAIR SHOP STATES THAT ITS THE ABS HYDRAULIC MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. HYUNDAI DEALER STATES THAT IT IS FOR THE FLUID RECALL. IT IS NOT FIXING THE BRAKES.

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.

TWICE IN LAST MONTH I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES ALMOST HITTING THE CAR DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL IN BOTH CASES TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO FINALLY SLOW DOWN AFTER PUSHING THE PETAL AGAINST THE FLOOR AS HARD AS I COULD. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE BOTH TIMES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE FLUID PER THE 114 RECALL AND THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE STOPPING ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE ABS MODULE WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A $2200 FIX THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR AND THAT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER THE REQUIRED PARTS AND LABOR AND THAT THE WARRANTY AND EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I HAVE WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. IT SEEMS THEY ONLY REPLACED THE FLUID THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE WITH THE MODULE, BUT WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THE CRITICAL PARTS THAT THE BRAKE FLUID COMPROMISED. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS CAR AND AM BEING TREATED LIKE IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE ISSUE THEY CAUSED. I AM STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE NO CHOICE. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE?

WHEN THE BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM IS ACTIVE AND THE CAR WAS STOPPED IT WOULD NOT MOVE AN INCH. NOW THE VEHICLE INCHES FORWARD AND MAKES A VIBRATION SOUND UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE DISC BRAKES LOCK UP AND THE CAR STOPS ROLLING. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI OF ORANGE PARK AND SHOWED THE SERVICE WRITER THE ISSUE. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. SINCE THIS HAS NEVER OCCURRED UNTIL RECENTLY, AND I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS, THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE.

MY 2011 GENESIS SEDAN WITH 30,000 MILES HAD BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL 2 TIMES. I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKES AND NONE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A FAILED DIODE PER THE DEALERSHIP. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A BRAKE LIGHT RECALL FROM HYUNDAI-KIA THAT I SAW IN THE NEWS TODAY. HOWEVER, THE ARTICLE SEEMED TO SUGGEST THAT IT ONLY COVERS THE GENESIS COUPE. HOWEVER, I CAN TELL YOU THAT I HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE GENESIS SEDAN AS WELL WITH THE DIODE FAILURE MENTIONED ABOVE. ON THE FIRST INCIDENT AROUND 10/2012, ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE ROAD ALERTED ME REGARDING THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME, AROUND 1/2013, I NOTICED IT ON THE DRIVEWAY.
