2012 Hyundai Genesis owner complaints

The brake pedal goes completely to the floor. Brakes act as if failing. Dealer diagnosed brake master cylinder defect, requiring replacement of the master cylinder. Mileage only 67,000 miles.

Bh Genesis sedan hecu inspection and brake fluid replacement (recall 114). Brake failing, dealer diagnosis (attached) said that the brake fluid has already been change before I bought the car and that the hecu that is failing should be at my charge. Car only has 70,000 miles, 5 years old , I argued that this unit should not been failing and that they may have take too long to change the fluid that caused corrosion. Hyundai was fine for recall long overdue. Attached is diagnosis, recall from NHTSA and fine. Thank you for your help.

Brakes are spongy and do not engage properly

Brake failure. Brake pedal must be pumped to completely depress the brakes and stop the car. This issue persists throughout use of the vehicle and no matter whether at highway speeds or in town. The issue began suddenly and has been consistent with the vehicle since that point. The brakes not being fully functional render the car unsafe to drive under any driving conditions. Cruise control light turns on intermittently and cruise control is fequently unavailable on the car.

The brake pedal of my car is soft and deep, and the braking is not done properly. After about a month and a half, the symptoms appeared and I changed the brake pads. 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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle failed to stop as the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard. The contact had to pump the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in NHTSA campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to a dealer (merced Hyundai, 1620 v st, merced, ca 95340, 209-384-2000) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall; therefore, the contact should get the vehicle repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

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 ex

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?

Experiencing intermittent brake fade. When applying brake pedal, there is little to no brake pressure and pedal depresses all te way to floorboard. After pumping brake pedal, brake pressure will return. This occurs intermittently at any speed and driving condition.

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 (

Driving home in rain storm and wipers stop working. Took me 2 hours to get home after numerous stops. Did research and found out recall on that model but my car was 17 days outside of the date. I find it strange that same issue and my vehicle in not in recall.

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. While driving 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart on the first attempt, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,000.

When making a turn at a low speed the car will stall leaving the power steering and brakes difficult to operate and the need to pull the car to a stop, put in park and restart while trying to avoid an accident. Been to dealer twice with them unable to find any problem. Multiple same stories on web about 2009 thru 2014 Genesis with same problem and no solution. This has happen 4 times in the last 4 months.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that the cruise control was not engaging and disengaging properly. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,200. Updated 03/10/15*lj updated 9/12/2017*cn

While driving at night with headlights set to on used left turn signal and headlights briefly went out. Since then have had approximately 3 or 4 further incidents like this. I believe at least one incident occurred when steering wheel was turned but turn signal not used (was going around curve). Outage lasts for just about a second. *tr

According to Hyundai dealer, nothing wrong with transmission, they are unable to "duplicate the issue" I am experiencing, delayed shifting, high rpms, engine revs, and violently knocks into gear, runs normal for a few days and then back to the [xxx]! Also experiencing an issue when putting gas in the car, gas pump abruptly stops as if tank is full when it is not. We need a recall!

Tire wear uneven, right front passenger worst. Constant severe pull to the right able to change lanes to right without hands on steering wheel. And very minimal pull to left at times while driving on highway (most notable) and city streets. While driving feels like car bottoms out over bumps/holes or on city streets/highways with rough road since purchased in 2012. Cannot adjust alignment on right side, right camber always negative and told no fix for this and cause for excessive wear on tire and pulling to right. Paint chipping underneath driver side door on body. Bottoming out and tire pulling to right first looked at on 11/21/2012.

Rear left and center inboard female seat belt buckles are reversed. This prevents use of the center belt when the left outboard seat belt is buckled as the belt covers the inboard center buckle. Need dealer recall to fix problem and have Hyundai recognize their problem. *tr

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
