- Service brakes
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…
- Service brakes
All my dash lites came on dealership said the HECU unit was bad not under recall the coup is but the 4 door isnât Iâve been waiting a month for part on backorder canât drive my car too dangerous brakes may not work if my sedan is not under recall then why are the parts on backorder with no ETA car not safe to drive yet canât get fixed
- Service brakes
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
- Forward collision avoidance › Automatic emergency braking
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 donât understand the difference.
- Electrical system
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.
- Engine
The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the contact heard an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where he was informed that the sound was normal. The contact stated that the sound remained. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
