2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS Recalls, Complaints & Safety

Brakes went completely out while driving, absolutely terrifying. Pedal went straight to the floor and wouldn't stop. I had to manually downshift until it was under 5 mph and then it would barely stop.

While driving, throttle stuck wide open. It was like I was flooring the gas pedal. I managed to pull over and stop vehicle. I restarted and was able to drive home.

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that after parking and exiting the vehicle, moments later after returning to the vehicle it was discovered that the driver’s and passenger’s side headrest restraint had deployed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure and indicated that the headrest needed to be replaced but no further assistance was offered. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 125,000

While attempting to brake on exit ramp off an interstate highway, the brake pedal was depressed almost to the floorboard with minimal slowing. The brakes were pumped several times with slowing vehicle speed. Fortunately, the exit ramp was long enough to allow a safe stop. Pedal remains soft and spongy. No warning lights are on. Brakes functioned normally until this incident at 138,200 miles. However, master cylinder was replaced at 102,000 miles for a similar problem at an independent auto shop. I am awaiting a dealer repair time. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WHILE DRIVING MY GENESIS 2010 SEDAN, THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THEN THE POWER STEERING DID NOT RESPOND. I WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE AND I HAD TO WRESTLE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL UNTIL I GOT HOME. THE SCARY PART WAS THAT I UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER STEERING DURING A TURN AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. LUCKILY, NO ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS NEAR AS I COMPLETED THE TURN ON THE OPPOSITE SLIDE OF THE STREET. I FORTUNATELY ARRIVE HOME, PARKED THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANICS. I LEARNED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AND SO DID THE BATTERY. LUCKLY, DURING THE TURN I DID NOT CRASH, BUT IT WAS VERY NERVOUS THE REST OF THE WAY.

I WAS DRIVING IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AND WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AT MAYBE 2 MILES AN HOUR AND BOTH MY FRONT HEADREST DISCHARGED.

CAR SEEMS TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES IT JUST SHUTS OFF ETC JUST FOUND OUT I PURCHASED A LEMON ODOMETER ROLLBACK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO IDLE MODE. AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT OF DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUND ROCK AUTO GROUP (2301 N INTERSTATE 35, FRONTAGE RD #300, ROUND ROCK, TX, 78664 855 996-3127) WHERE THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY DASH ACCELERATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,031. *TR..*BF *DT*JB

HEADIGHTS TURN OFF FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE DRIVING THEN COME ON AGAIN EVENTUALLY. BOTH HEADLAMPS GO OFF TOGETHER. HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN MANUAL ON POSITION, NOT THE AUTO ON/OFF POSITION WHICH I DO NOT USE.

HELLO NHTSA ADMINISTRATOR, I BOUGHT A NEW HYUNDAI GENESIS IN MARCH 2010. AROUND AUGUST 2010, I HAD A SMALL FENDER BENDER IN THE PARKING LOT. TO KEEP WARRANTY INTACT ON THE CAR, HYUNDAI INSISTED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE CAR BE REPLACED, WHICH I DID FOR APPROXIMATELY $5000. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC ITEMS GO BAD IN THE CAR. I REPLACED SOME OF THESE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. BUT THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE WITH SOME EXPENSIVE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS GOING BAD OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, THESE COMPONENTS SHOULD NOT GO BAD OVER THE LIFE OF THE CAR, AND CERTAINLY NOT AT A FREQUENCY THAT THEY HAVE FAILED IN MY CAR. I ATTRIBUTE THESE FAILURES TO BAD/DEFECTIVE JOB DONE DURING WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT. BUT HYUNDAI HAS REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BELOW IS A LIST OF THE BAD COMPONENTS, APPROXIMATE DATE OF THE COMPONENT GOING BAD, WHETHER IT IS REPLACED/FIXED AND APPROXIMATE EXPENSE TO FIX THEM 1. TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL--2015--REPAIRED AS PART OF WARRANTY 2. POWER SWITCH ASSEMBLY DRIVER'S SEAT--JAN 2016--$236.19--PAID OUT-OF-POCKET TO GET IT REPLACED 3. JOG DIAL ASSEMBLY--OCT 2016--$1031.70--PAID OUT-OF-POCKET TO GET IT REPLACED 4. FRONT CABIN DOME LIGHT ASSEMBLY--FEB 2017--$376.91--PAID OUT-OF-POCKET TO GET IT REPLACED 5. SMART CRUISE CONTROL--MAR 2017--NOT REPLACED--DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A QUOTE OF ~$4500 TO REPLACE 6. PASSENGER CABIN DOME LIGHT ASSEMBLY--AUG 2017--NOT REPLACED--$4500 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE 7. MULTI DISC CD PLAYER--FEB 2018--NOT REPLACED--$1000 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE HYUNDAI FOR THIS MATTER AND FORCE THEM TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. AS A CONSUMER, I FEED CHEATED AND BEING FORCED TO DOUBLE PAY FOR REPAIRS - ONCE FOR THE WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT AND NOW FOR ALL PROBLEMS ATTRIBUTED TO IT. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HEADLIGHTS FLASH WHEN SWITCHING FROM "AUTO" TO "ON" POSITION. OCCASIONALLY THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE "ON" POSITON WILL BLACKOUT FOR 2-5 SECONDS UNTIL HEADLIGHT STALK IS GIGGLED. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL "NOISE" (LIKE A SHORT CIRCUIT SOUND...A "POP") WHEN SWITCHING FROM AUTO TO ON. THE TURN SIGNALS ALSO SEEM TO TRIGGER THE "SHORT CIRCUIT". ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS CAN OCCUR MOVING OR STANDING STILL.ON ANY TYPE OF ROADWAY.

ENGINE CRANKS NORMALLY ATTEMPTING TO START. WHEN FAILED TO START, THE 'START' BUTTON IS PUSHED TO STOP THE ATTEMPT. TRIED AGAIN. TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS TO FINALLY START. ONCE STARTED THE ENGINE REVS AT HIGH RPM'S. WHEN PUT IN 'D' THE CAR LURCHES AND ACCELERATES WITHOUT PUSHING GAS PEDAL. IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AFTER STARTING AND RESTARTED, FAST ACCELERATION IS ELIMINATED. CAR HAS ULTIMATELY STARTED, BUT THE FEAR IS IT WILL GET WORSE AND ULTIMATELY FAIL TO START STRANDING THE DRIVER. CAR RUNS PERFECTLY IN NORMAL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ALMOST DAILY FOR 90 DAYS. HYUNDAI SERVICE: TAKEN TO HYUNDAI ON TWO OCCASIONS. THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES GENERATED. STUMPED! CAN DO NOTHING IF PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED BY SERVICE TECH! KEEPING QUIET? NEW CONDITION 4/26/18! CAR HAS SHUT DOWN TWICE AT A STOP LIGHT, 4/26 AND 4/29. FEAR OF SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN TRAFFIC AS REPORTED IN USER FORUMS. HYUNDAI USER FORUMS: DOZENS OF OWNERS DISCLOSE THAT THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ACROSS YEARS AND MODELS. REPORT THAT HYUNDAI DENIES THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH PROBLEMATIC STARTING AND STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS! OWNERS REPORT FEAR OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE CAR STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY, ENTERING TRAFFIC OR MAKING TURNS ACROSS TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. A DEALER HAD NOT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL CAMPAIGN IN 2014 AND 2016; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V113000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL EXCESSIVELY IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN HYUNDAI (1814 MAPLELAWN DR, TROY, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST SINCE THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

BRAKE PEDAL ONE 2 OCCASIONS WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY DIMINISHED STOPPING POWER THE FIRST TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS DECEMBER 31 2017 I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND DID NOT DRIVE IT TILL TUESDAY, JAN 2ND, 2018 WHEN IT DROVE IT SLOWLY TO THE DEALER ON THE WAY THERE THE PEDAL GOT FIRMER BUT STILL SPONGY NOT NORMAL THE DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT HELP ME I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR

THERE IS A SPLIT ACROSS MY DASH WERE THE AIR BIG IS I CALL THE MAIN OFFICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.MY CONCERN IS MY FAMILY SAFETY

BACKGROUND: AM ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS THAT WAS PURCHASED JULY 31, 2010 AND THAT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ON IT. ISSUE: UNEXPECTEDLY, THE BRAKES BECAME "SQUISHY" (I.E. BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED A LONG DISTANCE BEFORE ENGAGING BRAKES). ADVISED BY HYUNDAI DEALER THAT IT IS A FAULTY HECU UNIT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $3,800. NOTE: THE BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED IN APRIL 2013 AND THE HECU UNIT WAS SUPPOSEDLY INSPECTED IN JANUARY 2014. I BELIEVE THESE WERE DONE IN RESPONSE TO PRIOR RECALLS. THAT SAID, UPON SOME FURTHER READING ON THE INTERNET, I AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED FOR RECALL, THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE RESULTED IN MY HECU UNIT BEING REPLACED, NOT JUST INSPECTED. I INTEND TO RAISE THIS ISSUE WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND, HOPEFULLY, HYUNDAI WILL STAND BEHIND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HECU UNIT WITHOUT CHARGING ME.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATOR IS ON AND IT WON'T GO OFF. THE DEALERSHIP AT HYUNDAI WEST BROAD ST IS TELLING ME THAT IT NEEDS A PODS ECU, WHICH COST 3,000.00 AND I TOLD THEM THEIR IS A RECALL ON THE GENESIS COUPE/2010 FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND WHY ISN'T THIS COVER BY HYUNDAI FOR THE GENESIS SEDAN? THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS NOR WILL THEY CALL HYUNDAI AND ASK WHY ISN'T THIS SAME DEFECT COVER FOR THE SEDAN JUST LIKE IT IS FOR THE GENESIS COUPE? WEST BROAD HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN RICHMOND, VA. WANTS TO CHARGED ME $3,500.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON MY CAR SO IT WILL PASS STATE INSPECTION.

THE TMPS LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. WEST BROAD HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN RICHMOND, VA. WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOT KNOWING WHY IT'S HAPPENING. THEY HAVE RESET IT BU TIT KEEPS COMING BACK ON.

PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING - WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME ABRUPTLY SLOWED DOWN REQUIRING ME TO QUICKLY APPLY MY BRAKES. UPON APPLICATION OF MY BRAKES, I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY RELEASED, PROVIDING LIMITED BRAKING. I CONTINUED TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TOWARDS THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP BUT IT REQUIRED A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE THAN NORMAL.*BF UPDATED 9/28/18*JB

BREAKS FAILED. TAKING EXIT FROM HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP AS THE BREAKS WOULD WORK. WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE FOUND GAP BETWEEN TWO LANES AND AVOIDED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. DEALER CONFIRMED THE BREAKS FAILED AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS BREAK FAILURES REPORTED WITH GENESSIS. HAD RECENTLY GOT BREAKS CHECKED AND WAS TOLD 'EVERY THING IS FINE'. QUESTION IS WHY DIDN'T HYUNDAI DO A RECALL AND PROACTIVELY REPLACE MY BREAK SYSTEM? ONE WHOLE DAY OF SUSPENSE ABOUT HOW MUCH IT WILL COST ME... AND I WAS TOLD HYUNDAI WOULD COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT AS IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. DEALER CALLED IT 'GOODWILL WARRANTY'.

I HAVE COMPLAINED AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES CONCERNING A SUDDEN ACCELERATION FROM THE STOP POSITION. THE ENGINE REVS UP AND THE CAR TAKES OFF WITHOUT MY DOING IT. I'VE REPORTED THIS IN 2014, AND 2016 - NOW I SEE THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION BUT MY CAR ISN'T ONE OF THEM? REALLY...

ATTEMPTED TO REDUCE SPEED TO ENTER NEIGHBORHOOD STREET AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. CONTINUED PRESSURE STOPPED THE VEHICLE. BRAKES COULD BE PUMPED UP AND CONTINUED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT WITH SERIOUSLY DEGRADED BRAKING CAPABILITY. AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD. STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, FELT NORMAL AT FIRST, THEN PEDAL GAVE WAY ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING POWER WAS VERY LITTLE. PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL RECOVERED SOME BRAKE POWER ONLY TEMPORARILY. PULLED OVER AND SHUT DOWN THE CAR. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE BRAKES WERE STILL POOR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT WORK ON IT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND I REFUSED TO TAKE BACK THE CAR UNTIL SOMETHING WAS DONE. THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR ABOUT SIX WEEKS AND ROAD TESTED IT ALMOST EVERY DAY BUT COULD NOT PROVOKE THE PROBLEM TO RETURN. I ASKED THE DEALER TO REPLACE ANY OR ALL PARTS THAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO SUCH A THING AND ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WAY FOR HYUNDAI TO DIAGNOSE THE TROUBLE. THEY RELIED ON ONLY THE ELECTRONIC SENSORS AND SINCE THERE WERE NO FAULT CODES THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY LIABILITY TO REPLACE PARTS ON A PRESUMPTIVE BASIS. I CONSIDERED THE CAR UNTRUSTWORTHY AND SAID IT SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. I TRADED THE CAR IN AT THE SAME DEALER FOR ANOTHER CAR WITH A DIFFERENT BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HYDRAULIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V489000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

BRAKES ARE SPONGY. 63000 MILES. BRAKE PADS ARE AT 70% ON THE BACK AND 50% ON THE FRONT. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IS OK. WHEN USING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT SEEMS TO COME TO A STOP AND THEN I AM ABLE TO PUSH DOWN MORE. PUSHING DOWN MORE IS WHAT IS REQUIRED TO STOP THEVEHICLE.

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE GROUND BECAME UNLEVELED, I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN MY SPEED AND I EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. MY BRAKE PEDAL SUNK DOWN TO THE FLOOR BEFORE MY CAR WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. FOR TWO MONTHS MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, ALL THE WHILE CHARGING ME FOR TEST, AND NO ONE CAN CORRECT THIS ISSUE. IT'S NOW 2 1/2 MONTHS AND I'M STILL WITHOUT MY CAR. I NEED FOR HYUNDAI TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE TURNING ON TO A MAIN STREET FROM A HIGHWAY. WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR ENTERED LIMP MODE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY ENGINE RESPONSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT DO MORE THAN ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAYS CAR HAS CODES FOR FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND IT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS. THEY WILL GO OFF FOR AS LONG AS TWO SECONDS AND THEN COME BACK ON. VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN ON STOPPED POSITION WAITING TO MAKE TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED DURING NIGHT, WHEN USING THE TURNING SIGNALS THE HEAD LIGHTS TURNED OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF WHAT WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I-10 W WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH, HAD TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPH BEHIND TRAFFIC THAT WAS SLOWING DOWN AND CAME TO COMPLETE HALT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED, ON RELEASING BRAKE AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO PARK POSITION AND TURNED OFF ENGINE AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO BE ON STARTER MODE EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE HAD STARTED. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE CAR RESTARTED BUT THE GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. MOVED THE SHIFT TO SHIFTRONIC MODE BUT THE CAR WOULD STILL NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. HAD TO CALL IN A TOW COMPANY AND WAIT IN THE CAR FOR OVER 30 MINUTES OF HARROWING EXPERIENCE IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE 4 INSTANCE WHEN THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC IN A HIGHLY UNSAFE SITUATION. THE CAR DEALERS RESPONSE HAS BEEN UNSATISFACTORY. WONDER IF THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THIS HIGHLY UNSAFE FAILURE IN THE CAR. NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE ON THE ROAD WITH RISK OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR STREET TRAVELING AROUND 35 MPH, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BEGAN TO STOP. AS I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES, MY CAR'S PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND BEGAN TO GET SOME PRESSURE, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I NEVER KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND I COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT SINCE THAT DAY. I HAVE CHANGED THE PADS, AND ROTORS, SO THOSE ARE NOT THE ISSUE. THIS WEEK, MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR THAT ISSUE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR NEEDED AN ABS PUMP. THE DEALERS ARE WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN WE CHECKED THE PRICE OF THE PART ($2600), THE PARTS AGENT IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THESE CARS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!!
