Consumer Description

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
