2013 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE — Complaint #1613627
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:ELECTRIC:CONTROL MODULE filed October 20, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1613627 (ODI reference 11269760) concerns a 2013 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE and was filed on October 20, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 20, 2019. The vehicle had 70,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:electric:control module, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:electric:control module failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
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.
