2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

I OWN A 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS CLEARLY AFFECTED BY THE RECALL ON BRAKE FLUID THAT AFFECTS THE BRAKE MODULE. MY CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, BUT WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EFFORTS ACCORDING TO MY SERVICE ADVISOR. I BEING ASKED TO PAY AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE. MY ADVISOR HAS INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EFFORTS. SO, IT APPEARS THAT ALTHOUGH I OWN A 2009 WHICH IS A YEAR THAT IS AFFECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM....MY SAFETY DOES NOT MATTER FOR SOME REASON. MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND WILL PROBABLY CREATE AN ACCIDENT IF IT IS DRIVEN. MY CAR SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS NOT. THE BRAKES CAN BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR BOARD AND THE CAR WILL STILL BEGIN TO ROLL FORWARD. IT WILL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT STIFF AND MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH AND WOULD NOT INCREASE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE ELECTRONIC STABILTY CONTROL LIGHT ILUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS OVERHEATED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,060.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE. IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE CAR COULD ONLY SLOW MODERATELY REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE ENGAGEMENT AT THE TOP OF THE PEDAL TRAVEL. AT HOME, I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE PEDAL DISPLACEMENT RELATIVE TO THE FIREWALL AND CAN PROVIDE THEM. PHOTO 1 SHOWS THE STATE OF THE PEDAL WHEN I ARRIVED HOME. IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF PEDAL FORCE YOU MIGHT USE WHILE PARALLEL PARKING OR SLOWING FOR AN OFF RAMP ON THE HIGHWAY. WITH THAT AMOUNT OF FORCE, THE PEDAL WAS WITHIN ~2" OF THE FIREWALL. PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL LED TO INCREASED "FEEL" AND RESTORING BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS. PHOTO 2 SHOWS A LARGER GAP TO THE FIREWALL AFTER 5 PEDAL REPETITIONS, AND WITH INCREASED FORCE APPLIED. PHOTO 3 SHOWS AN EVEN LARGER...

RECURRENT/ONGOING BRAKES LIGHTS FAILURE SINCE JUNE 2012 (BRAKE LAMP DIODE BLOWS OUT FREQUENTLY CAUSING BRAKE LAMPS TO BE INOPERATIVE). SPONGY BRAKES. HAVE TO PUMP AND PUSH HARDER THAN NORMAL ON BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. CAR SERVICED AT TAMERON HYUNDAI DEALER IN B'HAM, AL (STATES ESC HYDRAULIC MODULE INTERNAL VALVE MALFUNCTION, NEEDS REPLACEMENT). *TR....UPDATED 05/20/14 *BF THE CONSUMER NO LONGER OWNS THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS VOLUNTARILY RELEASED TO THE CREDITOR AND WAS SOLD APRIL 2014. THE CONSUMER DOES NOT KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 05/28/2014 *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH IN 4 LANE I-95 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ESC LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT. I TURNED ON FLASHERS AND DRIFTED MY WAY THROUGH 3 LANES AND PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT NOT THE ESC LIGHT. THE CAR RAN A BIT ROUGH WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. BASED ON OWNER REPORTS AT THE GENESIS OWNERS WEB SITE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OWNERS OF 2009 V6 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL DEADLY SITUATION. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A HIGHWAY, A...

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE 2/16/13 I HAVE BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS OF BRAKE PEDAL GRADUALLY GOING DOWN TO THE FLOOR AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKES WOULD GRADUALLY LOSE PRESSURE AND THE CAR WOULD START CREEPING FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING WHETHER I AM DRIVING 30 MPH ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS OR 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY (WHICH I STOPPED DOING!). MY HUSBAND ALSO DRIVES THE CAR AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP. DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER HAS BEEN ALMOST HAZARDOUS. CAR TAKEN BACK TO DEALER (MARCH 7, 2013), HAD PART REPLACED, PICKED UP CAR ON MARCH 8, 2013 AND HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK THE VERY NEXT MORNING, MARCH 9, 2013, AND THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE THAN WHEN IT WAS TAKEN IN THE FIRST TIME. WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING, I WAS VERY AFRAID OF...
