2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS — Complaint #1630326
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:ELECTRIC:CONTROL MODULE filed December 19, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1630326 (ODI reference 11290156) concerns a 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS and was filed on December 19, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 22, 2019. The vehicle had 152,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Ohio 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 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 2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
BRAKES ARE A CONTINUING PROBLEM OR BETTER SAID BAD BRAKES, LIKE SOMETIMES GOING TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE ESC DASH LIGHT IS ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK EITHER. I HAD COMPLETED A RECALL ON THE BRAKE FLUID,BUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT MY MY PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BEING CONCERNED, I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE ROTORS, BRAKE LINES AND PADS. UPON BLEEDING THE SYSTEM, THE DEALERS NEW BRAKE FLUID CAME OUT WITH SLUDGE FLOATING ON TOP OF CLEAR FLUID. I CONTACTED THE DEALERS GENERAL MGR. AND COMPLAINED OF A BAD DRAIN REPAIR. HE ASKED ME TO BRING MY CAR IN AND THEY'LL CHECK IT AGAIN. I SHOWED HIM THE PICTURES AND THEY DENIED THAT IT CAME FROM MY CAR, BUT THEY WOULD FIX MY CAR'S BRAKES FOR $2700.00 WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULDN'T COST MORE. THIS WAS TOM AH DEALER SHIP IN LIMA, OHIO. I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE BRAKE PROBLEMS.I HAVE THE FLUID SAVED AND PICTURES ALSO. UPON CHECKING THE INTERNET, I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE ESC AND CRUISE CONTROL IS WIRE
