| Description of the problem | I was stopped at a red light in the left turn lane. All of a sudden i was rolling forward while my foot was firm on the brake. I was able to press the brake even further, but i kept rolling forward until i crashed into the car in front of me. Thankfully, it was a very sturdy truck with a trailer hitch. I have damage to my grill where the hitch hit my car. The brake pressed to the floor and did not stop my car from rolling forward. I was able to drive the car to the closest parking lot in that intersection. I waited for a tow to the dealership. The brakes seemed to work fine again; the service department told me there was nothing wrong with my car or its brakes. I left the car with the mechanic to drive home and continue to test it to reenact the problem. When i googled "hyundai genesis brake failure", there were a few other instances of this issue. I am so scared to drive my car again. |
