I have had intermittent brake pedal to the floor issue for the past two years. It started off occasionally, but turned into daily. It's very very dangerous as the brakes barely work. To remedy, I had the brake rotors and pads changed, brake fluid flushed. Did not fix the issue. Had the Master Cylinder replaced and it fixed the issue, but then two days later my brakes started binding (opposite problem). Replaced the HECU / ABS Module and still have the same issue. Now the car is not drivable because the brakes are binding. I called a local Hyundai Dealership to see if they would try a goodwill HECU service, since previous years Hyundai Genesis were recalled with the exact same issue, but they said they would not do it for me. So I am trying to work out the issue through independent mechanics. This is a very dangerous issue as the brakes do not work and is a widespread issue affecting multiple BH model Hyundai Genesis owners.

My HECU unit failed at only 61k miles. My car is a sedan not a coup, so Hyundai does not want to cover it under the recall. This is redicules, my safety is at steak

HECU failure only has 61k this is an ongoing issue with Hyundai. Hyundai covers the 2014 coup, but not the sedan in a recall for this issue. I don’t understand the difference.

It's termed as a "Dead Pedal" with the accelerator pedal sensor as to when the accelerator pedal is applied to move the car, the signal to apply gas to the engine to move it , doe's not happen, and the car will not move, momentarily causing a very unsafe situation in traffic. this problem is sporadic and you never know when it will happen. to my knowledge this is happening in the 2009 to 2015 models Hyundai Genesis cars with the 3.8 and 4.6 and 5.0 engines. Any car with the drive by wire is effected with this problem, and should be looked into and repaired. I have not gone to the dealer with this problem and there is no check engine light on when it happens.

ALSO MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN IN TRAFFIC WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC IT WAS VERY SCARY WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE CAR AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. NOW MY CAR IS SHOWING A LOT OF HARD CODE ERRORS FROM THE ABS/ESC SYSTEM TO POWER SEAT MODULES THEY SAY IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM ITSELF BECAUSE IT DOESN'T NOTIFY YOU OF ANY ISSUES ON THE DASHBOARD AT ALL. AND TODAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND MULTIPLE B CODES SHOWED UP WHICH DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE EVEN CAM SENSOR CODES AND I JUST GOT THIS CAR IN MARCH 2019.
