WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKES GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR AS IF IT'S GIVING OUT. I'VE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THEIR BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THE REPAIR NEEDED WAS THE HYDRAULIC MODULE. BY READING THEIR COMPLAINTS, I'M HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS MY BRAKE HYDRAULIC MODULE THAT'S ABOUT TO GO OUT, CALL HYUNDAI TO REPORT IT BECAUSE THEY HAD A FEW CUSTOMERS IT HAPPENED TO AND THE REPAIR IS $3000.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO NEARLY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE CAR CAUSING A PANIC AND AGGRESSIVE BRAKING BEFORE NEARLY GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDAL TO MAKE THEM WORK. THIS HAPPENED AT ANY SPEED AT RANDOM TIMES. THE BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND STILL HAVE PLENTY OF PAD LEFT. CAR HAS 125K MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. MULTIPLE MECHANIC ADVICE AND ON LINE ISSUES POINTS TO A FAULTY $1600 ABS MODULE. I HAVE TWO OTHER MUCH OLDER VEHICLES WITH WAY MORE MILES WITH NO SUCH ISSUE

GENESIS COUPE HAS BEEN TO THE MECHANIC THREE TIMES FOR BRAKE FAILURE. THE ROTORS, PADS, AND CALIPERS WERE REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AND THE BRAKES STILL DIDNT WORK. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME THE BRAKE LINES WERE BLED, AND THE BRAKES STILL FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE AND PUSHES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE DRIVING CAUSING INABILITY TO BRAKE THE CAR. MECHANIC SAYS THE PROBLEM MAY BE HECU AS WITH THE PRIOR RECALL FOR GENESIS SEDANS. THERE ARE NO OTHER BASES FOR THE FAILURE THAT HE CAN FIND.

NHTSA ODI 11276997

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH AN INCONSISTENT BRAKE PATTERN. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED IT SOMETIMES WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND REQUIRE THE OPERATOR TO "PUMP THE BRAKES" IN ORDER TO REGAIN THE BRAKING ABILITY. THE BRAKE PEDDLE DOES NOT REQUIRE THIS ALL THE TIME. I WILL BE HAVING THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY A TECHNICIAN TO VERIFY THAT THERE IS CORROSION IN THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AS IT APPEARS TO MYSELF TO BE CONTAMINATED. THE VEHICLE SPEED HAD NO CORRELATION TO WHEN BRAKES BEGAN TO FAIL AND REQUIRED PUMPING THE PEDDLE IN ORDER TO REGAIN BRAKING POWER.

WELL IT ONLY HAPPENS ON HOT DAY OR IN SUMMER. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. WHILE I'M DRIVING THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN GAS FUMES FILL UP THE INSIDE OF MY CAR SO BAD THAT I GOTTTA PULL OVER FOR A WHILE. THE OTHER DAY IT HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN AND I ALMOST PASSED OUT WHILE DRIVING. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEIRS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OR THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. I'VE OWND THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND IT'S BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THEN. NOW THAT IT ALMOST MADE ME BLACK OUT WHILE DRIVING WAS THE LAST SRRAW FOR ME. IT'S MADE ME HAVE HEADACHES BEFORE BUT NOT PASS OUT LIKE THE OTHER DAY. THIS IS WHY I'M REPORTING THIS TO YOU GUYS HOPING YOU COULD HELP ME. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M I. STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN THE CITY WHEN IT'S REALLY HOT OUT.

DRIVING LESS THAN 3000 MILES SINCE PURCHASED (74,000) - THE VEHICLE HAS POWERED DOWN/ENGINE SHUT 4 TIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT AND 1 TIME WHILE ACCELERATING UP A HILL. ALL 5 TIMES HAVE BEEN IN TOWN ROADS GOING UNDER 40 MILES PER HOUR OR AT A STOP. THE KEY HAS BEEN PLACED IN THE KEY INSERT EVERY TIME SO THERE WAS NO WAY FOR US TO BUMP IT WHILE DRIVING. IN ORDER TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND POWER IT UP AGAIN. MOST RECENT HAPPENED TODAY SO WE ARE NOW FILING A COMPLAINT.
