Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My brake pedal became soft and sponge without any warning signal. I had to press brake pedal all the way down to floor in order to stop and it took much long distance to stop. Hyundai recalled my car back on 2013 and changed brake fluid. At that time I had no brake problem. I think they must recall for this terrible manufacturing default before anyone get into accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11074620, filed 2018-02, 38,000 miles“I was driving to my work. I saw red light signal and stepped on brake pedal. But the pedal just went down very softly without stopping my car. My car stopped after I pressed full force on brake pedal. By the time my car stopped it already passed 15 feet from the stop line where I had to stop.”
NHTSA complaint #10993734, filed 2017-06, 35,000 miles“Hyundai issued a technical service bulletin for the bh Genesis sedan hecu inspection and brake fluid replacement (recall 114). The dealer told me this service was performed on my car in 2014. My hecu has failed and braking is very limited. It appears that the resolution to this recall does not resolve the problem. My car is not safe to drive. Should the recall be issued again requiring replacement of the hecu?”
NHTSA complaint #11053833, filed 2017-12, 105,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11023789, filed 2017-09, 47,872 miles“While braking at a stop light, the brake pedal went to the floor and I lost anti-lock function and had to press hard on the pedal to stop. The problem persisted for a day or two, then went back to normal. After about a week, the same problem occurred. After researching this issue, I found numerous cars had the same problem, yet it seems Hyundai refuses to take responsibility. There is a recall NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000, however when I run my VIN #, no recalls are listed. My car is a 2012 Hyundai Genesis.”
