2011 HYUNDAI GENESIS Complaints

While driving on the highway at 65MPH the driver front tire wables, the tires feel unsafe and not stable. When going over long road cracks on the highway the whole car wabbles and if i dont grab the stearing wheel really hard to not loose control of the vehicle. The ESC light its always on so i know the traction or stability control is not working properly, also the TPM light is also not working because its always been on since purchased the car.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SQUISHY WHICH RESULTED IN FARTHER BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V489000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000.

THE CAR WAS PARKED (NOT RUNNING OR MOVING) IN AN OPEN AIR GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. I WAS IN THE GROCERY STORE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES AND CAME OUT TO FIND A CROWD AND A FIRE CREW WHO HAD JUST PUT OUT THE FIRE IN THE HOOD AREA OF MY CAR. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE CAR BUT THEY ARE ON MY PHONE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEND THEM TO COMPUTER.

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. *TR

THE HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE 2011 WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE CRASH. HYUNDAI INSPECTED THE CAR AND DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

CAR HAS SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED. JERKS THEN SHUTS OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND FOOT ON BRAKE. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT WITH NO ISSUES. NO LIGHTS OR ANY THING CAME ON. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN.

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 CAR AT 58000 MILES WHENEVER I BRAKE ON SLIPPERY SURFACE WHERE ABS IS ACTIVATED MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES NEARLY DOWN TO FLOOR. AND CONTINUOUS FOR DAYS GOING DOWN NEARLY TO FLOOR ON NORMAL BRAKING BEFORE BRAKE PEDAL COMES BACK UP TO NORMAL LEVEL AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW EVERY TIME ABS IS ACTIVATED. DEALER WANTS NEARLY $3000. TO REPLACE THE ABS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY BRAKES HAD BEEN WORKING FINE. ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESULT. I AM MEDIATELY PUMP MY BRAKES AFTERWARDS AND THE CORDED STOP. THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY PUMP MY BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP. MY BRAKE FLUID WAS CHECKED AND WAS FULL. I DROVE HOME WITH SAME ISSUE AND HAVE NOT DROVE CAR SINCE. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST HAPPENED I CAME OFF A HIGHWAY EXIT TO A STOP LIGHT.

FREEWAY DRIVING AT SPEED LIMIT (65MPH) PASSENGER SEAT HEAD REST SELF ENERGIZED CAUSING PASSENGER TO BECOME UNCONCIOUS FOR ONE OR TWO MINUTES, WITHOUT WARNING. AUTO HAD NO ACCICENTS NOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE TO HEADREST OR SEAT. PASSENGER COMMENT AFTER HE BECAME CONCIOUS WAS "WHY DID YOU HIT ME." PRECEEDED BY A NOISE LIKE A METAL PIPE BEING DROPPED. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE 'REAR END COLLISION SENSOR LOCATED AT SEAT BASE TO ENERGIZE. THE HEADREST CAME FORWARD STRIKING BACK OF HEAD CAUSING A POSSIBLE CONCUSION. A DIFFERENT RESULT WOULD HAVE CAUSED DEATH IF IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE. FAILURE WAS CAUSED BE SPRING TENSION CONTINIOUS ON PLASTIC AND BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR PIECES, BUT ONLY THE FRONT PART IS AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THIS FORCES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HEADREST ASSEMBLY. (QUOTED $792). REPAIR NOT AVAILABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
