Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brakes failed, brake pedal goes to the floor. Its very difficult to stop the vehicle and sometimes I end up not being able to stop and have to go through the red light or into the ditch. The dealership looked at the car and said that it is the hecu. I have seen numerous realls for Hyundai vehicles for the hecu including the 2011 , 2012 genesis. And now more hyundais are being recalled this car needs to be recalled !”
NHTSA complaint #11360444, filed 2020-09, 80,000 miles“Rear passenger side brake seizure or sticking. Happened when I went to a colder location. I took the car to the dealer and they lubed the guides, 2 months later, back in a cold area, the exact same thing happened again. The car doesn't roll in neutral and the brakes heat up, excessive wear on the pads on that brake.”
NHTSA complaint #10821856, filed 2016-01, 60,000 miles“While driving when I go to stop or slow down the brake pedal goes to the floor. It's real hard to stop the car, I brought it to the dealer and I was told that it's the hecu a 3,000 $ fix. 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.”
NHTSA complaint #11207584, filed 2019-05, 80,000 miles“Genesis coupe has been to the mechanic three times for brake failure. The rotors, pads, and calipers were replaced the first time and the brakes still didnt work. 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.”
NHTSA complaint #11276997, filed 2019-10, 55,000 miles“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.”
