After having repeat brake issues and bringing the brake issues to the attention of the authorized dealer: Steele Hyundai South Loop in Houston, TX. There was no resolution. I visited with the management of Steele Hyundai on March [XXX], 2023. I was in a car accident on March [XXX], 2023 where brake failure occurred. I took the vehicle to Firestone on March [XXX], 2023 for a full inspection. Firestone determined the brakes were not repaired properly. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
ENTERING INTO A RIGHT TURN LANE THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE GRAZED A CURB. IMMEDIATE EXPLOSION & BOTH RIGHT SIDE AIR BAGS BLEW CAUSING MINOR INJURIES TO PASSENGERS. THE CAR IS NEW, APPROX. 985 MILES AND THE TIRES HAD BEEN REPLACED THAT MORNING WITH MICHELINS UNDER A TIRE EXCHANGE PROGRAM. THERE IS NO EXTERNAL BODY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THE REAR AXLE APPEARS TO BE BENT. WHY WOULD AIR BAGS DEPLOY BY BUMPING A CURB AT LOW SPEED?

Starter wiring burned and caused a small, localized fire in the engine compartment of the vehicle. Replacement of the starter assembly along with related engine wiring harness is necessary for vehicle operation. After mechanic review, it was determined the vehicle will catch fire upon attempt to start the vehicle. The vehicle was parked near our home when the internal burning and subsequent small fire started. The problem was reported to our nearest Hyundai dealership and the car was evaluated by the dealership to confirm the above. The car was inspected by Progressive insurance as well at the dealership and it was determined it was not included in TSB 24-01-057H recall for this VIN for the 2015 Hyundai Genesis. For this specific issue, there was zero indication this was a possibility.
My car was leaking brake fluid but no spots on ground. My brakes started locking and not work at all. After having car serviced multiple times my brakes completly stopped all together. Left for mechanic and my car in the engine bay caught fire. Burned completly for total loss. ABS modularor had recall causing engine bay fires. Was wondering if this was why
My car spontaneously caught fire while in a parking lot. I had left it for approximately 45 minutes. When I returned and opened the trunk, smoke began pouring out. Frightened, I called 911. The fire department came. When they opened the driver door, much more smoke poured out. My car continued to smoke I believe for a long time. I was ill for several days with headache and asthma as I am a senior and have scarred lungs. A mechanic later determined that the passenger car motor had burst into fire. He said the motor, seat, carpet and seat belt were beyond repair. No warning lights ever came on. After suggesting a buy back of the car in an earlier conversation, the manufacturer said yesterday upon viewing a photo I provided of the burned seat motor that it wasn't that bad. I refuse to keep the car or drive it because it could happen again and it reeks of fire.
On 4/5/2021 my vehicle caught fire while I was driving. The fuel line corroded and shot fuel into the manifold and the engine caught fire and was a total loss. Two other vehicles the same year also caught fire from the same issue within two months

This has been a recurring safety issue problem! The front turn signals repeatedly have indicated on etiher side that the bulb is burned out and hence do not light up nor flash when this occurs. Some folks chalk this up to it is normal for bulbs to burn out so I have been replacing them when this happens. But, a new bulb doesnt always work! It gets to be a game of try this bulb and then that bulb and then sometimes nothing works and I plug the turn signal harness back in and maybe a few days later it starts to work so it is more than a bulb issue and a significant safety issue if folks assume that the turn signal is performing correctly and the oncoming cars dont see any sign that I'm planning on turning. I can put in a new bulb and try adjusting the bulb in its seated position and grab the wires and jiggle to see if there is a short or bad conection and nothing changes the fact that the new bulb is not working. Also the bulbs that arent working appear to be in good working order when looking at the 2 filaments
I was driving in the road about 50mph and with the wet road. I lost the car control without any reason, even with the low speed. Looks like the break or the ABS system wasn’t working and I got hydroplaning and an accident.
I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON 50 MPH ON LA PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AND SLOWED DOWN TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AFTER I PRESSED MY BREAK AND MY CAR FULLY STOPPED, THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING FORWARD WHILE MY BREAK WAS PRESSED FULLY DOWN AND AS A RESULT I HIT THE TRUCK FRONT OF ME FROM THE BACK TO LOOK VERY MUCH AS MY FAULT, WHILE IT WAS THE VEHICLE'S ISSUE WITH THE BREAK
ELECTRONIC GREMLINS PERIODICALLY HIT. -AT RANDOM TIMES THE FRONT OR REAR SENSORS DON'T "SEE" OBJECTS. I HAVE KISSED BUMPERS WITH ANOTHER CAR WHEN NEITHER OF US SAW THE OTHER, AND MY GENESIS FAILED TO SEE. IT'S ALLOWED ME ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS TO PULL TOO CLOSE TO OBJECTS IN FRONT. -WORSE, THERE ARE RANDOM EPISODES WHERE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO SEE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF IT. NUMEROUS TIMES WE HAVE NARROWLY MISSED COLLISIONS WHEN WE HAD TO QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY APPLY BRAKES. I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS AS HAS MY WIFE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY CLIENTS! -THE SELF-RETRACTING MIRRORS FREQUENTLY TO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND WE HAVE TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE.
ON THREE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK I LOST ALL ABILITY TO BRAKE. THE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IS TO ENGAGE THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE. ON TWO OF THOSE OCCASIONS THE CAR ONLY STOPPED WHEN HITTING A SNOW/ICE BANK. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, A LOUD AIR PRESSURE RELEASE SOUND WOULD EMIT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO NOTHING WAS REPLACED. NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HOPE I DON'T CRASH INTO SOMETHING.
