TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AT RANDOM. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO RECOMMENDED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF PARTS, WHICH WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JANUARY OF 2020. FUTURE HYUNDAI OF CONCORD (1051 BURNETT AVE, CONCORD, CA 94520, (866) 979-7218) STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE.

THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME THE BRAKE LINES WERE BLED, AND THE BRAKES STILL FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE AND PUSHES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE DRIVING CAUSING INABILITY TO BRAKE THE CAR. MECHANIC SAYS THE PROBLEM MAY BE HECU AS WITH THE PRIOR RECALL FOR GENESIS SEDANS. THERE ARE NO OTHER BASES FOR THE FAILURE THAT HE CAN FIND.

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH AN INCONSISTENT BRAKE PATTERN. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED IT SOMETIMES WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND REQUIRE THE OPERATOR TO "PUMP THE BRAKES" IN ORDER TO REGAIN THE BRAKING ABILITY. THE BRAKE PEDDLE DOES NOT REQUIRE THIS ALL THE TIME. I WILL BE HAVING THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY A TECHNICIAN TO VERIFY THAT THERE IS CORROSION IN THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AS IT APPEARS TO MYSELF TO BE CONTAMINATED. THE VEHICLE SPEED HAD NO CORRELATION TO WHEN BRAKES BEGAN TO FAIL AND REQUIRED PUMPING THE PEDDLE IN ORDER TO REGAIN BRAKING POWER.

I KNOW THAT OTHER GENESIS OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. I KNOW THAT HYUNDAI HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM DUE TO FAULTY BRAKE FLUID THAT DISTROYS THE HECU. IT SURE SEEMS TO BE WHAT HAPPENED TO MINE.

Official recalls
4Jul 25, 2024
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Genesis Coupe vehicles. A return spring in the ignition lock switch may fracture, which can result in unintended vehicle movement when the vehicle is started in gear, without the parking brake applied.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Unintended vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the ignition lock switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2024. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 266.
Sep 22, 2023
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Sonata Hybrid, 2012-2015 Accent, Azera, Veloster, 2013-2015 Elantra Coupe, Santa Fe, 2014-2015 Equus, 2010-2012 Veracruz, 2010-2013 Tucson, 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell, and 2013 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the ABS fuse, free of charge.

Oct 7, 2016
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Genesis Coupe vehicles manufactured December 12, 2008, to June 11, 2016. The electrical harness connector for the front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may dislodge when the seat is moved.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the disconnected OCS would, by default, cause the first stage, and only the first stage, of the air bag to deploy, whether there is a child seat in the front seat and the bag should not deploy or if the crash is severe and both stages should deploy. Either scenario increases the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.
Remedy: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will secure the OCS connector to prevent it from disconnecting, free of charge. Parts are not currently available and a second letter will be sent to owners when parts are available. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 151.
Nov 16, 2015

In the affected vehicles, if the differential and the suspension rear crossmember were not properly aligned during vehicle assembly, the bolts that secure the differential may loosen.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the rear differential loosens from its mounting position, the driveshaft may disconnect from the differential, resulting in a loss of propulsion and an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will verify the proper assembly of the differential, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai's customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 135.
