BUT THEY TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT'S ON ME. NOW MY CAR IS UP FOR INSPECTION AND IT WON'T PASS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE..IT WILL COST ME $500.00 FOR THE MECHANIC TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER JUST TO PASS INSPECTION...IF THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE FLUID WHICH CAUSES CORROSION, AND NOW THE MASTER CYLINDER AND H.E.C.U. ARE NOT HOLDING PRESSURE..THE RECALL STATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM,,WHY DO I HAVE TO BE MADE PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED DEFECT..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE REVERSING. EACH TIME, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE BY OPENING AND CLOSING THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. REPLACED TAIL LIGHT SWITCH.DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" > MY 2011 HYUNDAI GENESIS SEDAN HAS BEEN GRANTING MANY PROBLEMS WITH STARTING. SOMETIMES IT WILL START UP IMMEDIATELY, THEN SOMETIMES IT WILL START SLOWLY OR NOT START AT ALL AND SIMPLY REVERT TO A CLICKING AND NO START. THIS SEEMS TO ALSO BE GIVING MANY OTHER DRIVERS PROBLEMS AS I LOOK ONLINE. PLEASE UPDATE THIS INFORMATION AS I DO NOT WISH TO BE LEFT STRANDED. THE VEHICLE IS OFF WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO WEST BROAD HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 8903 W BROAD ST RICHMOND VA 23294. THE DEALER STATED THE ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC AND MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000.

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.

CAR IS AT 57K MILES AND REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION! THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ADJUSTS FOR ISSUES RELATED TO A TRANSMISSION TO ENSURE A SMOOTH SHIFT AND RIDE ESSENTIALLY HIDING THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A STEERING ISSUE WHICH REQUIRED RESETTING THE ADAPTIVE CONTROL. WITH THIS, THE CAR'S PREVIOUSLY HIDDEN TRANSMISSION ISSUE WAS AMPLIFIED RESULTING IN SEVERE JERKING AND SHIFTING GEARS.

ENGINE SOMETIMES CUTS OFF WHEN I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAY ON. ENGINE STARTS WHEN I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH START BUTTON WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. NEW SPARK PLUGS AND AIR CLEANER AND FUEL INJECTION CLEANER HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE.

CAR HAS A MANUAL 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE (ONCE UNDER WARRANTY FOR 5TH GEAR GRIND @ 45K MILES AND AGAIN AFTER FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED WITH < 30K ON NEW TRANSMISSION). I HAD TO PAY OVER $2K OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AS HYUNDAI WOULD NOT WARRANTY IT. THE 6SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON DEFECT FOR ALL GENESIS COUPE MODELS, WITH MANY OWNERS NEEDING TO REPLACE IT MORE THAN ONCE AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
