Summary

Brake system failure. Brake pedal and goes all the way to the floor. Hyundai dealership explained that the HECU has failed. In 2014 there was a recall on this car for this issue, Hyundai Recall 114. This recall was for "GENESIS SEDAN HECU INSPECTION AND BRAKE FLUID REPLACEMENT". The known issue is that the part breaks down over time and just changing the brake fluid doesn’t stop the corrosion process. The HECU part should have been replaced and not allowed to degrade further as it has now done on my vehicle.

THEY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND I WAS INFORMED BY THAT TIME AND VISIT; THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY $4200 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT THEY NOW SEE. I HAD ALSO BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT MY ABS/ESC/AUTO HOLD LIGHTS WERE CONSTANTLY FLASHING, NOW THEY REMAIN SOLID. IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK WHEN IN REVERSE. I HAVE READ ABOUT SEVERAL RECALLS REGARDING ISSUE. THE SITUATION HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I WAS TOLD IT IS NOW LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOW GIVEN ME A PRICE TOTALING $7000 TO REPAIR OR PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS MONEY I CANNOT PAY AND I KNOW MY VEHICLE WAS STILL COVERED WHEN THE PROBLEMS/ RECALLS STARTED.

APPROACHED AN EXIT FROM A PARKING LOT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE. WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GET THE BRAKES TO WORK. THE PEDAL NOW IS ABOUT HALF OF WHAT IT USED TO BE AND REQUIRES PUMPING EACH TIME THE BRAKES ARE USED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. PEDAL IS ERRATIC; SOMETIMES I HAVE ABOUT HALF PEDAL BEFORE A FIRM BRAKE PEDAL. OTHER TIMES IT IS EVEN LOWER. I HAVE NO PICTURES OR DOCUMENTATION TO INCLUDE THAT WOULD BE RELEVANT TO THIS ISSUE.

MY VECHILE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS TIMES. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN WHICH LIVES COULD BE LOST . THIS EEMS TO BE PROBLEM WITH THE GENESIS FROM 2012 TO 2016 FROM MY RESEARCH. I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM . THE DEALERS CANT FIND THE PROBLEM OR WHY IT IS OCCURING . THE DEALERS GIVE YOU NUMEROUS REASONS AS TO WHAT MIGHT BE THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE . THIS COULD COST A CONSUMER $1000 OF DOLLARS JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS . THIS OCCURS WHEN JUST DRIVING DOWN A STREET, ON CURVES OR GOING STRAIGHT. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET! IM TRYING TO AVOID THIS .THIS OCCURS WHEN MY GAS TANK GETS LOW , THAT IS WHAT I HAVE NOTICED .

EVERY DAY DRIVING IS A CONTINUATION OF TENSION. I WENT TO THE DESIGNATED SERVICE CENTER AND INSPECTED IT. DURING THE RE-RUN, THE SAME PHENOMENON CONTINUED, AND AFTER A WEEK AGAIN, I HAD TO CHANGE THE ABS MODULE. HOW MUCH OF AN ABS MODULE DOES IT HAVE GROUNDED LIKE A BRAKE PAD? I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT. I LOOKED AT THE INTERNET AND THE MODEL I WAS RIDING WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL.

I OWN A 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS AND EXPERIENCE A VERY LOW GRIP ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAS JUST BEEN CONFIRMED FROM A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT THE HECU IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (11/20/19). HYUNDAI HAS RECALLED CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009-2012 GENESIS SEDANS UNDER RECALL 114 OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN 13V489 FOR THE HECU. I HAVE BEEN TOLD, HOWEVER, THAT MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SAFETY REPAIR. I FIND IT HIGHLY UNUSUAL THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT SO MANY OTHER GENESIS SEDANS HAVE FACED, YET AM BEING DENIED THE NECESSARY REPAIR. I AM ASKING THAT MY VIN BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AT THIS POINT. KEEPING IN MIND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AS WELL, ALL GENESIS SEDANS MADE DURING 2009 AND 2012 SHOULD BE RE-LOOKED AT AGAIN. IT IS A $3000 FIX AND I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW UNFAIR IT IS TO KNOW THAT OTHER HYUNDAI GENESIS OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR HECU'S REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL. WHY IS THEIR SAFETY MORE IMPORTANT THAN MINE?

Summary

ON OCTOBER 23RD, 2019, THE BRAKES ON MY 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS R-SPEC SEDAN SUDDENLY FAILED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED LUCKILY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS 79K MILES. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER IN ST. LOUIS PARK, MN AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAULTY AND REPLACED. THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STILL SPONGY AND GOING TO THE FLOOR INTERMITTENTLY. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM FIX IT CORRECTLY. WHILE RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND THAT MULTIPLE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE ABS HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (HECU) AS IT CONTAINED CORROSION WITHIN THE UNIT DUE TO BAD DESIGN WHICH CAUSES HYDRAULIC BRAKING FAILURE TO OCCUR AT ANY TIME. THIS CAMPAIGN/RECALL BELOW OUTLINES THE ISSUE WHICH I AM GOING TO PRESENT TO THE DEALER TO FIX CORRECTLY AS I AM STILL UNDER WARRANTY. TO ME, THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH TYPE FAILURE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURIES. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING ALL ABS HECU BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST FOR ALL 2009-2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS, NOT JUST SOME VINS THAT THEY DEEMED TROUBLESOME. THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL CARS AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THEIR OWNERS.

I STATED THAT NO ONE BUYS A CAR EXPECTING THE HEAD REST TO POP OPEN AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THEY INSIST IT IS MY ISSUE. CAR WAS IN GARAGE WHEN HEAD REST POOPED OPEN. IF WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I AM SURE AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. EVEN IF I HAVE IT REPLACED, WHAT ASSURANCES WOULD I HAVE THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. AND IF IT DOES AND EITHER MY WIFE OR I DRIVING THE VEHICL,E WE COULD BE INJURED THIS IS A VEHICLE DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TODAY 08/23/19, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD, BARELY ESCAPING REAR ENDS OF SEVERAL VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK. THERE IS THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. HAVING ENTERED MY VIN # INTO THIS SITE HAS PROVIDED NO RECALLS. ALTHOUGH READING EVERYTHING ABOUT NO.114, THAT I HAVE SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD BE AND IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED. SOME PEOPLE, WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM, SAID THAT THE BRAKE FLUID USED WAS CAUSING FAILURE IN THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER VALVES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER ERROR, AND HYUNDAI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR DUE TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD OVER HOUR AND A HALF FROM HOME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED/FIXED QUICKLY.

AT 31,500 THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR FAILED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ABOUT THE COMPRESSOR FAILING. HYUNDAI WILL NOT SHARE THE TSB'S ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE. AN AC COMPRESSOR SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 50,000 MILES AND IN REALITY A LOT MORE MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY GARAGE PARKED AND THE COMPRESSOR WENT BAD. I FOUND OUT THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR AND THE COMPRESSOR DID NOT WORK. THE COMPRESSOR INSIDES WERE PLASTIC ACCORDING TO THE HYUNDAI MECHANIC JACK THAT WORKED ON THE CAR AT SAN TAN HYUNDAI. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT LET HYUNDAI SELL JUNK THEN CHARGE FOR REPLACEMENTS.

Summary

AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY I SHIFTED OUT OF 6TH GEAR (70MPH) AND PRESSED THE BRAKES TAKING IT DOWN TO 40MPH. THE RPMS CONTINUED TO REV UP TO 6K AND BEYOND. THE BRAKES DID RESPOND, SO I FELT THERE WASN'T IMMEDIATE DANGER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED MY CAR BY TURNING OFF THE KEY. TURNING THE CAR BACK ON, NOT IN ANY GEAR, NOT PRESSING THE GAS, THE RPMS BEGAN TO REV JUST AS HIGH AGAIN. SO I TURNED THE KEY OFF AGAIN. I DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN, STARTED THE CAR, IT BEGAN REVVING UP THE RPMS. I SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND IT BEGAN TO DECREASE IN RPM. THEN IT BECAME NORMAL. BUT NOW THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHEN I ACCELERATE THAT WAS NOT PRESENT BEFORE. IT'S LESS NOTICEABLE AT 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, BUT GETS MORE PRONOUNCED FROM 3RD GEAR ONWARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE ENGINE MAY NEED REPLACED. I DID FIND THERE WAS A REPORT OF ENGINE PROCESSING FLAWS THAT COULD RESULT IN A KNOCKING NOISE ON VARIOUS NEWS SITES BUT NOTHING OFFICIAL. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 40K~ MILES. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2011 AS I BOUGHT IT HOT OFF THE LOT AT 6MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES USING SYNTHETIC OIL ONLY. IT'S MINT. NO REASON FOR THIS TO BE OCCURRING.

REF: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO 13V489000 HYUNDAI GENESIS 2012, 4.6L, V8, 4 DOOR SEDAN, WITH APPROX 77000 MILES. IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS WE HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR 3 TIMES WITH LITTLE OR NO BRAKING OCCURRING. TWO WEEKS AGO THIS CAR WAS TAKEN INTO LIBERTY (FELDMAN) HYUNDAI IN NEW HUDSON, MICH FOR REPAIR OF THIS BRAKE PROBLEM. AFTER $95 FOR AN 'INSPECTION,' WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE ANY OIL CHANGE, THE REPORT WAS THAT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THIS CAR WAS SERVICED IN MARCH, 2014, PER HYUNDAI RECALL NO. 114 BH HECU, WHICH CALLED FOR INSPECTION AND REPLACING THE BRAKE FLUID. THIS WAS DONE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO BRAKE PROBLEMS SINCE THAT TIME UNTIL ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO. THIS CAR WAS SERVICED IN MARCH, 2014, PER HYUNDAI RECALL NO. 114 BH HECU, WHICH CALLED FOR INSPECTION AND REPLACING THE BRAKE FLUID. THIS WAS DONE.

THERE HAVE BEEN NO BRAKE PROBLEMS SINCE THAT TIME UNTIL ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT EVEN THOUGH HYUNDAI RECALL NO. 114 WAS ACCOMPLISHED, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FULLY CORRECTED. SOME PEOPLE, WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM, SAID THAT THE BRAKE FLUID USED WAS CAUSING FAILURE IN THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER VALVES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S ERROR, AND HYUNDAI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

Summary

HELLO, MY 2012 GENESIS SEDAN 5.0L R-SPEC ONLY HAS 33K MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT AT 21K. I AM THE 2ND OWNER AND THEREFORE TECHNICALLY OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, I KNOW THIS. HOWEVER, MY GENESIS' TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ROUGH AND OCCASIONAL SLIPPING SHIFTS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. THROUGH RESEARCH AMONGST OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE IS QUITE COMMON IN THIS MODEL YEAR CAR AND THAT HYUNDAI HAS ALREADY REPLACED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THESE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT INDICATES A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN AND I BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT FACT AND REPAIR OR REPLACE THE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY OR GOODWILL IF OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE CAR OR MYSELF WHEN DRIVING IF IT DECIDES TO SUDDENLY SLIP WHEN I AM MAKING A TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE WAY. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING MY CAR. SPECIFICALLY, THE PROBLEM OCCURS MOSTLY SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS 2&3, 4&5 AS WELL AS 5&6 AND USUALLY SLIPS RPMS A LITTLE FROM 6 TO 7 OR 7 TO 8. THE SHIFTS, WHEN NOT SLIPPING, WILL BE ROUGH AND ABRUPT. I WOULDN'T DESCRIBE IT AS SLAMMING INTO GEAR, BUT RATHER A JOLT THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE SEAT AND JUST ISN'T AS SMOOTH AS OTHER GEARS. I ALSO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, DRIVE TO PARK, PARK TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO PARK, OR ANY COMBINATION OF THE DESCRIBED SHIFTS WILL CREATE A ROUGH CLUNK WHEN THE GEAR ENGAGES. YOU CAN ALSO FEEL A THUD WHEN KICKING DOWN THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS A VEHICLE AS IT DOWNSHIFTS THROUGH GEARS. ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS ON TOP OF A FLUID CHANGE PRODUCING NO POSITIVE RESULTS INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT 33K MILES.

Summary

FOLLOWING A HARD TURN WHICH ACTIVATED MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), I LOST ALL PRESSURE IN MY BRAKE PEDAL AND IT SUNK TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS FOLLOWING A NEAR-ACCIDENT IN WHICH I HAD TO ENGAGE MY ABS SYSTEM BY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. EVER SINCE THAT ABS ACTIVATION, MY BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT FELT THE SAME. IT TAKES MORE EFFORT TO STOP NOW AND YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL FARTHER THAN USUAL TO GET BRAKE ACTIVATION. I CAN RECREATE THE PROBLEM BY GETTING THE ESC TO ACTIVATE AGAIN IF I SPIN THE TIRES ON A HARD TURN. IMMEDIATELY AFTER DOING SO, I WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY BRAKING POWER OR PEDAL PRESSURE. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS WITHIN THE AFFECTED PRODUCTION YEARS, THEY CLAIM MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. THE RECALL WAS CAMPAIGN 114 WHICH EVENTUALLY TURNED INTO A MANDATORY RECALL. THE POTENTIALLY AFFECTED YEARS RANGE FROM 2009-MARCH 28TH 2012. MY VEHICLE WAS MADE JANUARY 10TH, 2012. THEREFORE IT SHOULD QUALIFY BUT THEY CLAIM IT WILL NOT. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKES AND FIX MY PROBLEM BEFORE I DIE FROM IT. THE 3 INSTANCES I'VE HAD THE ISSUE HAVE ALL OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A HARD RIGHT TURN WITH LOW TRACTION AND THE ESC LIGHT FLASHES MEANING THE ABS WAS INDIRECTLY ACTIVATED. AFTER THIS TURN AND ESC ACTIVATION, THERE WILL BE NO PRESSURE IN THE BRAKES UNTIL IT GETS PUMPED SEVERAL TIMES. SOMETIMES I WILL HAVE NO BRAKE PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL UNTIL I'VE STOPPED 3 OR 4 TIMES AND PUMPED THE BRAKES.

Summary

ENGINE STALLED RANDOMLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, USUALLY WHILE TURNING. LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES - EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL CAR AND UNBELIEVABLY DANGEROUS. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES AND MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TWICE, ALL WHILE TURNING FROM A HIGHWAY OR HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY I HAD TOLD HER IT MIGHT HAPPEN TO HER AND WHAT TO EXPECT IF IT DID. GIVEN THE NUMBER AND CONSISTENCY OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED, IT IS EQUALLY UNBELIEVABLE THAT SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED. IT IS SO RANDOM THAT IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE, BUT GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURIES OR DEATHS THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.

Summary

BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO REQUIRE MORE AND MORE TRAVEL TO ACHIEVE BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK. THERE WAS NO REDUCTION OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. THE ABILITY TO MODULATE BRAKING FOR CONDITIONS SUCH AS SLOW SPEED (PARKING LOT) DRIVING IS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED. THE ISSUE ALSO HAS REQUIRED A VERY HEAVY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ALLOW THE ENGINE TO START (PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH). I HAVE LEARNED THAT HYUNDAI HAS IDENTIFIED AN ISSUE WITH BRAKE FLUID THAT FAILED TO PROTECT THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (HECU). RESULTING CORROSION WITHIN THE BRAKE SYSTEM LEADS TO THE FAILURE MODE I AM EXPERIENCING. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON A CAR DRIVEN BY AN 86 YEAR OLD WOMAN. THE SITUATION CAME ON OVER TIME, BUT BECAME VERY NOTICEABLE WITHIN THE LAST 6 - 8 MONTHS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 21.4K MILES ON IT.

Summary

EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE SUDDENLY ACTIVATES WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY CONTROLS. EPB LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN CAR IS PLACED IN PARK, EPB LIGHT GOES OFF BUT EPB IS STILL ENGAGED. EPB LIGHT REAPPEARS WHEN CAR IS PLACED IN DRIVE AND EPB IS STILL ENGAGED. TURNING OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTING DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE AND FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR. EPB MAKES LOUD NOISE AND THERE IS SIGNIFICANT RESISTANCE FROM THE EPB BUT THE EPB FINALLY DISENGAGES AND CAR DRIVES NORMALLY. SMELL IS PRESENT FROM THE EPB SYSTEM AND RESULTANT EXAMINATION OF SYSTEM SHOWS FLAKING OF PAD FROM HEAT CAUSED BY PROCEDURE. DEALER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF PROBLEM SINCE 2013 BUT SAYS IT CAN DO NOTHING BECAUSE IT CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS THREE CODES DEALING WITH EPB SYSTEM BUT DEALER SAYS CODES ARE "GENERAL" IN NATURE AND DO NOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. SAYS NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNTIL PROBLEM IS REPLICATED IN PRESENCE OF DEALER. FAILURE HAS THUS FAR ONLY OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED BUT MY FEAR IS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTING TO DISENGAGE THE EPB USING THE EPB TAB FOR "ENGAGE/DISENGAGE" DOES NOT WORK. DATE GIVEN BELOW IS THE LATEST OCCURRENCE. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED ON AND OFF FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS. PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY AND INTERMEDIATELY. VEHICLE LEFT WITH DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS BUT DEALER COULD NOT GET PROBLEM TO OCCUR AND WILL NOT MAKE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THIS.

Summary

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

Summary

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WHETHER ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS, BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE OR ON THE HIGHWAY THE BRAKE PEDDLE CONTINUES TO SINK TO THE FLOOR AND ONLY PROVIDES VERY LITTLE STOPPING POWER (SOMETHING LIKE A COASTING STOP). SINCE THIS RECENTLY STARTED HAPPENING I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT PUMPING THE BRAKES HELPS TO GET BETTER STOPPING RESULTS BUT IT IS NOW SCARY TO DRIVE. I HAD THE BRAKE FLUID REPLACED AS A RESULT OF HYUNDAI'S CAMPAIGN 114 RECALL IN JULY OF 2014, HOWEVER I AM NOW EXPERIENCING WHAT APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT BRAKE FAILURE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY BASICALLY STATED THAT BECAUSE I HAD THE CAMPAIGN 114 RECALL DONE THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO REGARDING THE POSSIBLE HECU MODULE FAILURE AS A RESULT OF DETERIORATION DUE TO THE DOT-3 BRAKE FLUID EXPOSURE. I ALSO FIND IT HARD TO ACCEPT THAT THE HECU MODULE WAS TAKEN OFF AND THE VALVES INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AS PART OF THE RECALL. I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NEVER RESOLVED ON THE ORIGINAL 114 RECALL AND NOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST AS HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS 74K MILES ON IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS ANYONE DRIVING ONE OF THESE VEHICLES IS IN VERY SERIOUS DANGER OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS AS THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS A RESULT OF AN OVERSIGHT BY HYUNDAI. *TR

AFTER DRIVING STEADILY AT 35-40 WITHOUT BRAKING, APPLIED BRAKES APPROACHING CARS STOPPED A LIGHT. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR ONLY SLOWED MINIMALLY. AFTER SEVERAL PUMPS, BRAKING RETURNED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE COLLIDING WITH THE STOPPED TRAFFIC. AFTER THAT, THE CAR BRAKED NORMALLY. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE FIRST TIME BEING JUST A FEW DAYS EARLIER. THE INITIAL EPISODE WAS LESS DRAMATIC. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE OR AFTER THE EVENT. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE NOW. THIS WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY; I COULD HAVE PUSHED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THROUGH THE INTERSECTION INTO 60MPH HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN REPLACED UNDER A TSB AT 6,502 MILES DUE TO CORROSION ISSUES RELATED TO THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (HECU). IT'S FRIGHTENING TO THINK THIS PROBLEM MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A SERIOUS BRAKE FAILURE AT JUST 64,000 MILES.

Summary

I HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS 5.0 R-SPEC. I HAVE AN ONGOING EXHAUST SMELL/LEAK. IT IS VERY STRONG WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND AT IDLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE SMELL SEEMS TO BE EITHER RAW FUEL OR RAW EXHAUST THAT IS LEAKING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM. I HAVE TO PLACE MY AC SYSTEM ON RECIRCULATE OR LOWER A WINDOW OR THE FUMES BECOME OVERWHELMING. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING THE SMELL SUBSIDES. ON 01/18/2017 MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP PREFORMED AN EVAP SERVICE TO POSSIBLY FIX THIS ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. A SECOND EVAP AND AC SYSTEM SERVICE ON 02/01/17 WAS PREFORMED AND STILL THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE CHARCOAL FUEL TANK FILTER IS FINE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY LEAKS IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THE SMELL IS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR POSSIBLY THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM PLUMING. THE CAR USES DIRECT INJECTION WHICH IS UNDER VERY HIGH PRESSURE WHEN WORKING. I AM WORRIED THAT TO MUCH CARBON MONOXIDE COULD POSSIBLE BUILD UP INSIDE THE CAR AND CAUSE AN ADVERSE HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE.

Summary

SINCE NEW IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN ALIGNMENT. AT FIRST IT WOULD BE ALIGNED AND THEN IT WOULD TAKE 5000 MILES TO MOVE OUT OF SPEC (BAD ON ALL NUMBERS, BUT CAMBER AND CASTER ARE THE WORST). SERVICE HAS TRIED TO CLAIM IT RECEIVED FRAME DAMAGE AT SOME POINT. AFTER CONDUCTING AN UNDERCAR REVIEW THERE APPEARS TO BE NO DAMAGED SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. THERE IS A NON-STRUCTURAL PLASTIC SUPPORT AT THE BASE OF THE RADIATOR THAT WAS DISTORTED WHEN THE CAR STRUCK A TIRE TREAD ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BY THE INSURANCE CARRIER, DETERMINED BRACE NOT STRUCTURAL AND DID NOT REPLACE, TREATED FOR COSMETIC DAMAGE AND RETURNED TO SERVICE. PRIOR TO THIS THE VEHICLE ALREADY HAD ISSUES WITH PREMATURE TIRE WEAR, PULLING TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN ALIGNMENT. FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 25,000 MILES I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE VEHICLE RE-ALIGNED EACH 3000 MILES. AT ONE TIME WE'D BE ABLE TO ALIGN THE SUSPENSION BUT WITHIN 500 MILES IT WOULD BEGIN MOVING BACK OUT OF SPEC. CURRENTLY THE MECHANICS ARE FINDING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO GET IT WITHIN SPEC. THE FACT THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME, IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE MUST BE EITHER AN UNDERLYING DESIGN FLAW, OR THERE IS A COMPONENT FAILURE OCCURRING SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE HYUNDAI GENESIS HAS NO MECHANISM TO HANDLE CASTER OR CAMBER ADJUSTMENT. THE MECHANICS HAVE ALL STATED THAT THE ONLY OPTION TO ENABLE THE VEHICLE TO BE PROPERLY ALIGNED IS THE INSTALLATION OF A 'CAMBER/CASTER ADJUSTMENT KIT'. HOWEVER THEY SAY THIS ISN'T SOMETHING AVAILABLE FROM HYUNDAI (THOUGH I HAVE READ OTHERWISE FROM ONLINE SOURCES), AND SINCE THE VEHICLE IS STILL WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN I AM HESITANT TO HAVE SUCH A PRODUCT INSTALLED ANYWHERE BUT AT A DEALERSHIP AS I EXPECT IT WOULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FINGER-POINTING AND WARRANTY DEBATE DOWN THE ROAD.

ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND LOST STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. DETAILS: ON BOTH THE TIMES, WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT A SLOW SPEED THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING WAS WELL AS BRAKES. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND PUSH BUTTON TO START THE CAR AGAIN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WAY (CAR OR A PEDESTRIAN), OR ELSE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THIS COULD BE AN EVEN DANGEROUS ISSUE IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN OR WHEN ON A FREEWAY. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS, AND HAVE HYUNDAI FIX THIS PROBLEM.

BRAKE PEDAL WANTS TO GO TO THE FLOOR NEARLY AT TIMES, BEFORE THE CAR BEGINS TO STOP, WITH LESS THAN 48,000 MILES ON THE CAR. ISSUE JUST STARTED DOING THIS, RIGHT AFTER MY LAST SERVICE APPOINTMENT, WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT MY FRONT BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT MY WARRANTY HAD ENDED A MONTH EARLIER. THIS PROBLEM POINTS TO A POSSIBLE $2600 HECU UNIT PROBLEM. AMAZING HOW THIS STARTED RIGHT AFTER I HAD SERVICE PERFORMED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HAVE ALL 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS VEHICLES RECALLED TO HAVE THE BRAKE FLUID CHANGED, NEW BRAKE BOOSTER, AND THE HECU MODULE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

Summary

THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (HECU) IN MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED PER THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AT A COST OF $2600 ($1900 PART/$700 LABOR). THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE RELIABLY, NEARLY RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS IN HYUNDAI GENESIS OWNER FORUMS REGARDING THE FAILURE OF THESE HECU MODULES IN 2009-2012 MODELS, WHICH HYUNDAI HAS CLEARLY BEEN AWARE OF SINCE 2013, BUT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADEQUATELY RESOLVE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE OWNER AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND IT SEEMS OUTRIGHT CRIMINAL THAT HYUNDAI HAS NOT BEEN FORCED TO REPLACE THESE HECU MODULES ON EVERY MODEL PRODUCED WITH THESE FAILING PARTS. NHTSA CAMPAIGN 13V489000 ADDRESSING THE INTERNAL CORROSION OF THE MODULE DUE TO DOT-3 BRAKE FLUID DOES NOT COVER MY VIN DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING MONTH IN 2012 (WHEN SUPPOSEDLY A DIFFERENT HECU BEGAN BEING USED), BUT AS MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED, THE MANUFACTURING DATES THAT HYUNDAI CLAIM THE PROBLEM AFFECTED ARE CLEARLY NOT ACCURATE. HYUNDAI WAS/IS AWARE OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS PART FAILURE AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLES THEY PRODUCE. I DID NOTHING BUT RAVE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM AND PLANNED ON BEING A GENESIS OWNER FOR LIFE ... I'M NOW DISGUSTED.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT SOFT. THE CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN I HIT THE PEDAL BUT IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR I HAD TO NEARLY PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. LATER IN THE SAME DRIVE THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES FOR AT LEAST A WEEK UNTIL MY DAUGHTER DROVE THE CAR AND NEARLY HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP AS SHE EXPECTED. I NOTICED THAT IF I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE PRESSURE WOULD RETURN FOR A WHILE BUT THEN IT WOULD GO SOFT AGAIN ONCE I DROVE IT AND THE PEDAL IS PRESSED. AT THE POINT THE PRESSURE WOULD NOT RETURN CONSISTENTLY AND IT WAS QUESTIONABLE IF THE CAR WOULD STOP I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE ABS MODULE HAS FAILED AND THAT IT WOULD BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE MY BRAKES WOULD TOTALLY FAIL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THE ABS MODULE FAILING. NO ABS LIGHT; NO BRAKE LIGHT; NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. FOR THIS TO AFFECT THE SAFETY SYSTEM OF THE CAR I WOULD EXPECT THERE TO BE SOME TYPE OF INDICATION OF FAILURE. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE MODULE IS $2200 FOR REPLACEMENT! THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD WHY WOULD THE ABS MODULE FAIL IN SUCH A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE?

INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURES. SEEMS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR BAD BRAKE FLUID ON THIS MODEL YEAR HYUNDAI GENESIS SEDAN. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER THIS VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL WHEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT SOFT BRAKE PEDAL WHICH GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR UNDER HARD AND SOFT BRAKING CONDITIONS, WHETHER MOVING FAST OR SLOW AND IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE BRAKE PADS AND ALL 4 ROTORS ARE IN GOOD REPAIR. THERE IS NO AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES. IT APPEARS TO BE THE ABS MODULE THAT IS FAILING AND CAUSING UNSAFE BRAKING CONDITIONS WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUM COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODULE WHICH SEEMS TO BE A FAULT IN DESIGN BY HYUNDAI. MY HOPE IS THAT NHTSA CAN INFORM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL YEAR THAT UNSAFE BRAKING CONDITIONS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME FROM FAILURE OF THIS ABS MODULE. *TR

SPORADICALLY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. PEDAL HAS TO BE PUMPED 2-3 TIMES BEFORE BRAKES ENGAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 DRIVING OCCASIONS OVER 10 DAYS. TOOK IT TO DEALER THIS MORNING WHO SAID UNLESS HE COULD REPLICATE ISSUE, HE WILL NOT REPAIR DESPITE PRIOR RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE. YESTERDAY ON PHONE, HE SAID HE WOULD INSPECT AND FILE CLAIM WITH HYUNDAI. APPARENTLY BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED IN 2013 DUE TO RECALL BY PRIOR OWNER. NOW SAME THING IS HAPPENING. PROBLEM OCCURS UNTIL ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. 3 TIMES IN 10 DAYS IS FRIGHTENING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS FAR ENOUGH BEHIND CAR IN FRONT TO HAVE TIME TO PUMP BRAKES. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING AND WENT OVER A SLIPPERY AREA AT AROUND 40 MPH IN THE CITY WHILE BRAKING AND MY BRAKES WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY COME TO A STOP. HOWEVER, SINCE THEN MY BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, THEY SLOWLY GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR UNDER ANY BRAKING CONDITION. AND WHEN I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT THE PEDAL CONTINUES TO DEPRESS UNTIL IT'S AT THE FLOOR. IN THE PAST I HAD THIS ISSUE WHEN I WENT OVER A LARGE DIP WHILE BRAKING. HOWEVER IT RESET ITSELF SHORTLY AFTER AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE ISSUE AGAIN UNTIL TODAY. MY CAR WAS PART OF THE LARGE RECALL FOR THE GENESIS IN WHICH THE BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS 3.8 SEDAN. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER. SHE CAME HOME ONE EVENING AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR FAILED TO STOP AND WENT INTO THE INTERSECTION AS SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP FOR A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR DOWN THE STREET AND OBSERVED THAT YOU HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO STOP AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ADDED SOME BRAKE FLUID AND PUMPED THE BRAKES. I DROVE THE CARE THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND NOTICED THAT OVER TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HAD ALL THE BRAKES CHANGED. THAT COST ME OVER $320.00. THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THE CAR HAD A FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER. TO SHORTEN THE STORY. DUE TO THE DEALER COST OF FROM $275.00 TO $365.00 FOR A MASTER CYLINDER. I BOUGHT 2 ONLINE AND 1 AT OREILLY AUTO PARTS. I SPENT $105.00, $81, AND $79.00 FOR EACH RESPECTIVELY. EACH TIME THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THE WERE NOT COMPATIBLE. HE WAS SO CONFLICTED BY THE PROCESS ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE CARE TO THE DEALER AND TOLD ME THAT WITH ONLY 91000 MILES AND A WELL MAINTAINED 4 YEAR OLD CAR, IT IS UNHEARD OF FOR A MASTER CYLINDER TO BE FAULTY. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL NOR WAS MY VEHICLE COVERED BY MY FACTORY WARRANTEE. I AM A RETIRED AUTO THEFT OFFICER SO I DECIDED TO CHECK WITH NHTSA FOR COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS. I AM POSITIVE THAT THIS RECALL APPLIES TO MY CAR. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROCESS HAPPEN TO ME REGARDING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT HELP SO I FOUND A MOTOR AT A JUNK YARD. I PAID TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. HOWEVER IT ONLY WORKS AT ONE SPEED. I WOULD LIKE IT REPLACED AND A REFUND FOR THE COST INCURRED TO FIND AND REPLACE IT. I ALSO WOULD LIKE THE BRAKING SYSTEM REPAIRED AND COMPENSATION. HYUNDAI'S RECALL NUMBER IS 114. I WOULD LIKE TO INVOKE THE LEMON LAW..

THIS PROBLEM BEGAN OCCURRING AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. WHEN EITHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD EITHER NOT COME ON AT ALL OR WOULD JERKILY (IS THAT A WORD?) MAKE THEIR WAY ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN FREEZE. THEN AT SOME RANDOM TIME, THEY WOULD EITHER JERK THEIR WAY BACK TO THE PARKED POSITION OR CONTINUE JERKING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE WHOLE SWEEP AND THEN BACK TO THE PARKED POSITION, USUALLY STOPPING ONCE OR MORE TIMES ON THE WAY. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ACCORDING TO POSTS FOUND ON THE GENESISOWNERS.COM SITE. (HTTP://WWW.GENESISOWNERS.COM/HYUNDAI-GENESIS-FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=8567 ). IF YOU READ THE POSTS, ONE MAN ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A GASOLINE TRUCK WHEN HIS WIPERS DECIDED TO QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAINSTORM. MY LOCAL DEALER INSISTS HYUNDAI DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH TO ME IS MINDBOGGLING. WITH A POTENTIALLY RECORD BREAKING EL NINO NOW ON THE WAY, PERHAPS IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BEFORE HYUNDAI FINALLY SAYS, "GEE, WE GUESS IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AFTER ALL." IF THIS DEFECT IS NEWS TO DOT, I CAN SEE NO REASON NOT TO INSIST ON A RECALL. IF, HOWEVER, DOT IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT, SHAME ON THEM. SINCE HYUNDAI EXPECTED ME TO PAY $1,000 TO MOST LIKELY REINSTALL THE SAME FAULTY MOTOR AND LINKAGE, I GOT RID OF THE CAR. THE MOTOR COSTS $462 BY ITSELF.

Summary

THIS IHAS HAPPENED 4-5 TIMES. I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET, THANK GOD, I WAS NOT ON HWYWAY, ENGINE JUST STALLED AND STREERING WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS HARD BUT, SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET ON THE CURBE AND AVOID A CRASH. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I THINK, HYUNDAI SURE KNOW THIS PROBLEM EXIST IN GENESIS TOO. IT IS SAME PROBLEM ( SYMPTOMS) AS DESCRIBED IN HYUNDAI'S SONATA RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HYUNDIA WAITING FOR. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A $50,000 CAR . I HAVE NO TRUST ON THIS CAR ANYMORE. THIS WOULD BE MY LAST HYUNDAI. I KNOW, IF I TAKE CAR TO DEALERSHIP , I WOULD HEAR RESPONSE THAT , NO ISSUE FOUND. GENESIS HAS A SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEM WITH STALLING.

Summary

WHEN DRIVING OUR CAR, IT JUST DIES WITH NO FOR WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 7 OR 8 TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, SO IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE ALL THE WAY TO SLOWING DOWN FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC. WE STARTED WORKING WITH FORT MILL HYUNDAI OVER TWO YEARS AGO AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THINGS LIKE OUR OIL CHANGE WAS PAST DUE TO MY WIFE DOESN'T DRIVE THE CAR HARD ENOUGH, BOTH LAUGHABLE RESPONSES TO A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. WE WERE GETTING NOWHERE WITH THE DEALER SO I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND AGAIN GOT A LAUGHABLE RESPONSE FROM THEIR INTERNET TEAM. WHEN I PUSHED THE ISSUE AND BROUGHT UP SOMEONE WAS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED AND THEY WOULD HEAR FROM AN ATTORNEY THEY HAD THEIR REGIONAL MANAGER OUT OF ATLANTA CALL ME (I BELIEVE HIS NAME IS [XXX], HE TALKED ME INTO TAKING THE CAR TO KEITH HAWTHORNE HYUNDAI AS THE FORT MILL LOCATION DID NOT FOLLOW THEIR INTERNAL PROCEDURES. IN WORKING WITH THE KEITH HAWTHORNE TEAM THEY FELT THEY COULD HELP ME OUT. AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 10 DAYS THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME TO PICK UP THE CAR AS HYUNDAI WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THEM TO DO ANYTHING ON THE CAR. I COMPLETELY REALIZE THE TECHNOLOGY AND COMPLEXITY OF TODAYS AUTOMOBILES AND WAS TRYING TO REMAIN PATIENT AND WORK WITH THEM EVEN THOUGH I FELT IT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK. UNFORTUNATELY HYUNDAI HAS MADE THE DECISION TO NOT WORK WITH ME LEAVING ME NO OPTION BUT TO REACH OUT TO YOU. A SIDE NOTE, IF YOU DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH YOU WILL SEE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY GENESIS OWNER HAVING THESE PROBLEMS, SO HYUNDAI HAS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MY CAR.

Summary

THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY, I HAD JUST TURNED FOR HOME ON A 25 MPH STREET SO I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT I COULD MANAGE TO AT LEAST GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DO NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED 15 MINUTES EARLIER IF IT HAD SHUT DOWN ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE I WAS ON. IT DID START BACK UP AGAIN, BUT NOW AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI, BUT IF THERE FOLLOW-UP IS ANYTHING LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST, IT WILL BE A WASTE OF MY TIME. THEY WILL JUST SAY THAT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND SEND US A COFFEE MUG HOPING THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PREVIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES: SUCH AS CAR STARTING BACK UP BY ITSELF AFTER BEING SHUT OFF, THE RADIO LITERALLY POPPING ON AND OFF, THE RADIO LOCKING ON A STATION (YOU COULD CHANGE CHANNELS, BUT THE SAME STATION KEPT PLAYING), THE NAV TURNING ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. THE CAR HAD BEEN DOING OKAY THIS YEAR UNTIL THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT WHERE IT JUST FLAT SHUT OFF. DO NOT TRUST HYUNDAI TO SOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT IS TO SCARY TO DRIVE. AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A LEMON LAW IN THIS STATE. NO MATTER WHAT, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS WILL BE MY LAST HYUNDAI.

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED, NO WARNING. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND TOLD ME THE CAR IS FINE NOW. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS GETTING OFF ONE MAJOR ROAD AND GETTING ON TO ANOTHER AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED AGAIN. WAITED AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THE THIRD TIME MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING FROM MY HOME TO THE FRONT OF MY DEVELOPMENT AND THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN NO WARNING. THE FORTH TIME WAS JUST THIS PAST WEEK WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY ROAD AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME SOMEONE HAD TO PUSH US OFF THE MAIN ROAD SO THAT WE DO NOT GET HIT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY HAVE THE CAR RIGHT NOW AND I AM DRIVING A LOANER CAR. I CALL HYUNDAI AND STARTED A CASE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS UP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY CAR IF THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I AM REFUSING TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND I AM AFRAID. WE HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY UP TO NOW THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN WORSE. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO NOW. BY THE WAY THIS IS A LEASED CAR. *TR

Summary

I HAD THIS VERIFIED SCENARIO BY THE LOCAL HYUNDAI TECHNICIAN WHILE HE HAD THE COMPUTER HOOKED TO MY CAR AND I CONSISTENTLY DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM. WHILE QUICKLY DECELERATING FROM 25-20 MPH TO UNDER 5MPH THE TRANSMISSION DELAYS THE SHIFT FROM 3RD OR 4TH GEAR DIRECTLY TO 1ST GEAR BY 2-4 SECONDS WITHOUT ANY POWER. WHEN IMMEDIATE POWER IS NEEDED THE DELAY CAUSES ME TO GIVE IT MORE GAS IN HOPES OF MORE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. EVENTUALLY THE CAR GIVES SUDDEN ACCELERATION OFTEN TIMES TRIGGERING THE TRACTION CONTROL TO ENGAGE. THIS HAS CAUSED A FEW NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS FOR ME. I BRING IT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERYTIME I HAVE THE CAR SERVICED BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR HYUNDAI HAS A FIX. I HAVE ALSO SENT IN THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY TO HYUNDAI USA. THE ISSUE IS THE SHIFT PATTERN FROM 3RD OR 4TH DIRECTLY TO 1ST GEAR. IF THE CAR WOULD DOWNSHIFT EVENLY 4,3,2 THEN THE PROPER GEAR WOULD BE ENGAGED WHEN POWER IS NEEDED. *TR

ON 08/02/2014 AT APPROXIMATE 6 P.M., MY 2012 GENESIS R-SPEC 5.0 SEDAN COMPLETELY STALLED OUT AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES UP TO THIS POINT. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND CONTINUED UNDER ITS OWN POWER. THIS TYPE OF UNEXPLAINED POWER LOSS COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT IS CURRENTLY NOT INDICATING ANY PROBLEMS SO I DOUBT IF THERE ARE ANY TROUBLE CODES STORED. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND NEVER IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

Summary

MY 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS 6 CYLINDER SEDAN HAS STALLED SINCE I BOUGHT IT (LEASED) NEW TWO YEARS AGO. EACH TIME I GO TO THE DEALER (OIL CHANGES, ETC.) AND ASK THEM ABOUT IT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND SINCE THEY CANNOT RECREATE IT WHEN THEY DRIVE THE CAR THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. JUST A SHORT TIME AGO MY FAMILY AND I WERE ALMOST IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT - THERE ALMOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY IF I HAD NOT LEFT ENOUGH ROOM WHEN TURNING LEFT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A STATE HIGHWAY. AS WITH ALL BUT ONE OF ABOUT 8 STALLS THE ENGINE CUTS OUT AS THE CAR SLOWS TO AT OR JUST BELOW 5 MPH. THIS TIME ONCOMING TRAFFIC CLEARED ME BY INCHES AS I MUSCLED THE TURN WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND THE CAR COASTED TO SAFETY. THIS HAS BECOME UNBEARABLE. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS CAR STICKERED AT $45K - I HAVE HAD MORE EXPENSIVE AND COMPARABLY PRICED CARS, AUDI, BMW, CADILLAC, ETC., BUT HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS! IT DID STALL ONCE AT 45 MPH BUT ALL OTHER STALLS HAVE BEEN AT THE POINT OF ALMOST STOPPING OR, IN TONIGHT'S CASE, DECELERATING SOMEWHAT RAPIDLY AS IN A LEFT TURN FROM 55 MPH. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING SPECIFIC ON-LINE ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY ELANTRA'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE(?). HAVE FOUND A FEW POSTINGS FROM OTHER GENESIS OWNERS, BUT I CANNOT FOLLOW THEM - I AM NOT A MECHANIC - THEY TALK ABOUT TURNING "ESC" ON AND/OR OFF; WHICH I KNOW IS ELECTRONIC STABILIZATION CONTROL, BUT, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TRYING TO STRONG ARM A SOLUTION - ESPECIALLY FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE CAR. AGAIN, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL GO TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN, BUT I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO SAY...WHAT ELSE CAN/SHOULD I DO? *TR

I RESEARCHED THE NHTSA DATA BASE AND FOUND THE RECALL RELATED TO BRAKE FAILURES IN THE GENESIS WHICH WOULD HAVE AFFECTED MY CAR. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS PRODUCED 3/24/12 AND ACCORDING TO NHTSA ALL CARS PRODUCED UP TO AND INCLUDING 3/28/12 WERE TO HAVE BEEN RECALLED . *TR

Summary

THE VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER AND THEN IN THE FRONT, COMPLETELY DEMOLISHING THE FRONT BODY WORK. ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED, LIKELY DUE TO THE INITIAL RIGHT REAR SIDE IMPACT. THE SOLE OCCUPANT (DRIVER) WAS NOT PROTECTED AND WAS INJURED (CRACKED PELVIS, CRACKED ORBITAL BONE, NOSE INJURY) BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS PROVIDED WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE SHOWING THE ABOVE, BUT HAS DECLINED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE BECAUSE "WE ATTEMPTED TO INSPECT YOUR VEHICLE AND BELIEVED THAT AN INSPECTION WOULD HAVE CONFIRMED THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG SYSTEM." THE CAR WAS SCRAPPED ALREADY AND NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. PHOTOS PROVIDED TO THE MANUFACTURER (AND AVAILABLE TO YOU) DEMONSTRATE CLEARLY THAT THE FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY BODYWORK WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF THE CAR, YET THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THAT WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THAT INTENDED SAFETY FEATURE. THE MANUFACTURER'S ASSERTION ABOUT CONFIRMATION OF PROPER AIRBAG SYSTEM OPERATION IS NOT CREDIBLE IN VIEW OF THE FACTS. PLEASE RESEARCH THE INFORMATION AND MAKE SURE THAT OTHER DRIVERS ARE NOT VICTIMIZED BY INADEQUATE SAFETY ENGINEERING. *TR

Summary

HYUNDAI GENESIS SEDAN W/TECH PACKAGE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A POORLY LIT ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, I ACTIVATED MY RIGHT TURN BLINKER TO TURN RIGHT AT AN UPCOMING INTERSECTION. AS SOON AS I SELECTED THE TURN SIGNAL, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT FOR A PERIOD OF 1 - 2 SECONDS, THEN CAME BACK ON. SINCE THE ROAD WAS DARK, I WAS LITERALLY DRIVING BLIND AND COULD HAVE ENDED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN A FEW GENESIS SEDANS REPORTING THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. WHEN I GOT HOME, I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS IN THE ON POSITION. THERE IS ALSO THE AUTO POSITION. WHEN IN ON, I COULD DUPLICATE THE ISSUE RANDOMLY BY SELECTING THE TURN SIGNALS, THOUGHT IT WASN'T CONSISTENT. WHEN IN AUTO, I COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

THE COMMON DENOMINATOR FOR WHAT I EXPERIENCED HAS BEEN THAT THE CAR IS MOVING SLOWLY, 5-20 MPH (7TH OR 8TH GEAR), AND YOU FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR WHILE CHANGING THE LANE (TO MERGE QUICKLY). ALL THAT HAPPENS FOR 1-2 SECONDS IS THAT THE CAR COASTS AT THE SPEED YOU WERE GOING (ABSOLUTELY NO POWER IS APPLIED TO THE WHEELS), AND YOU SEE THE REVS GOING UP AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING TO A LOWER AND LOWER GEAR (BUT NOT SENDING ANY OF THAT POWER TO THE WHEELS), UNTIL IT GETS TO THE 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AND THEN YOUR HEAD SNAPS BACK AS IT ACCELERATES VERY QUICKLY (BUT 2 SECONDS TOO LATE). SO INSTEAD OF THE EXPECTED TAKEOFF YOU GET 2 SECONDS OF COASTING WHILE THE CAR IN THE LANE THAT YOU GOT INTO IS GETTING UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE AND HAS TO BRAKE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNEXPECTED. *TR

Summary

IN 2011 I LEASED A 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS. ON JANUARY 25.2013 WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. I CALLED AAA, THEY CAME OUT AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON MY BATTERY AND TOLD ME IT WAS FINE, THAT SOMETHING IN THE COMPUTER, MOST LIKELY THE ALTERNATOR WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. ON JUNE 9TH 2013 WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I CAME TO A STOP AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 3 MORE MILES AT 45 MPH, MY VEHICLE AGAIN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, NO STEERING NO BRAKES. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I PROCEEDED TO THE NEAREST SERVICE STATION AND AGAIN CONTACTED AAA. THEY CAME OUT, DID A CHECK ON MY BATTERY AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING, SOMETHING IN THE SYSTEM IS DRAINING THE BATTERY. ON JULY 8TH 2013 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AAA CAME OUT JUMP STARTED MY CAR AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I DROVE MY CAR TO PLANET HYUNDAI ON .W. SAHARA AVE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY IN THE CENTER LANE AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER SUDDENLY. ALL OF THE INDICATORS CAME ON. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD USING MOMENTUM WITH NO POWER STEERING CROSSING LANES OF TRAFFIC. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD EASILY HAVE CREATED AN ACCIDENT. PREVIOUSLY THE CAR LOST POWER AT A LIGHT AND THE NAVIGATION AND BACK UP SCREEN HAS FLICKERED AND TURNED OFF AND THE MUSIC CONTROLS FREEZE. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT DIED THE FIRST TIME AND THEY REPORTED NO ERROR CODES AND DID NOT REPAIR THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR IN AFTER IT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEY ARE AGAIN REPORTING NO ERROR CODES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE MY CAR SUDDENLY LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. *TR

Summary

THE LCD INFORMATION DISPLAY LOCATED BETWEEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH IS TOO DIM TO READ DURING THE DAY UNLESS THE CAR IS IN THE SHADE. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE CERTAIN INFO IS NECESSARY WHILE DRIVING AND CANNOT BE SEEN UNDER THE STATED CONDITIONS. THE BRIGHTNESS CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM BUT SAID THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. IT IS POSSIBLE THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE 2012 NON-RSPEC 5.0 MODEL SINCE I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WITH THE RSPEC AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM. OTHER SIMILAR MODELS ON MY DEALER'S LOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE REPLY, THANKS. *TR

Summary

THE REAR CENTER SEAT BELT ANCHOR AND THE LEFT SEAT BELT ANCHOR ARE REVERSED. WHEN ONE PASSENGER FASTENS THEIR SEAT BELT IT COVERS THE ANCHOR POINT FOR THE OTHER PASSENGER. THE ONLY WAY TO CONNECT BOTH IS TO TWIST THE SEAT BELTS ACROSS EACH OTHER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE APPLIED FORCES WOULD NOT BE IN LINE WITH THE SEAT BELT ANCHOR POINTS AND WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT CONFORM TO THE INTENDED DESIGNS PARAMETERS. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE SEAT BELTS TO GO ACROSS MY GRAND CHILDRENS NECKS WHEN THEY ARE IN THE BACK SEAT IN THEIR BOOSTER SEATS WHICH WOULD CAUSE THEM SERIOUS HARM IN A ACCIDENT. THE HYUNDAI DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND AGREES THAT THE ANCHOR POINTS ARE BACKWARDS BUT THEY SAID THAT IT CANNOT BE REVERSED DUE TO THE WAY THE CAR IS DESIGNED. *TR

Summary

I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, NOW I HAVE TWO FENDER BENDERS - REAR END COLLISIONS. THE FIRST ONE, 10/07/11, WAS AT LESS THAN OR ABOUT 5MPH AND I REMEMBER BRAKING AS USUAL BUT IT FAILED TO STOP AND REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. ONLY MINOR DAMAGES DUE TO THE SPEED INVOLVED. NEXT, TODAY 11/14/11, I BRAKED WHEN A TRUCK CUT ME OFF AND MERGED ON TO THE FREEWAY FROM AN EXIT ONLY LANE AT THE LAST MINUTE, STILL IT MADE CONTACT WITH THAT TRUCK, THIS TIME MODERATE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND NONE TO THE TRUCK. THE SPEED HERE WAS ABOUT 10-15MPH. I HAVE OBSERVED THAT WHEN I PUT MY LEG ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE STARTING, IT GOES DOWN A LITTLE BIT WHICH MAY BE NORMAL, BUT, I AM AFRAID THAT SUCH A TRAVEL / PLY COULD HAVE HAPPENED DURING THE ABOVE TWO COLLISIONS BECAUSE I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT IT TRAVELED EVEN AFTER I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. *TR
