2019 GENESIS G70 Service Brakes Problems

I'd like to note that I've seen a large amount of 2019 Genesis G70 RWD drivers make the same complaint as myself, the VSS completely and suddenly just stopped working. No heavy or hazardous driving to report. The VSS ties into the ABS, forward collision, and blind-spot safety cameras making them all inoperable.

I had 2 accidents in the same week. First one was Monday 2-20-2023. Leaving work heading home, I was at a red light. The light turned green and the car in front proceeded to go. As I hit the accelerator, my car ran into the back of a car full speed. Every attempt to stop car and was unsuccessful. I called to make appt at dealership to have car inspected. Before I could get to said appt at dealership, a very similar incident happened again 2 days later as I was pulling into parking lot of work. Pulling into parking spot, my car continued to accelerate into the building. Again, attempted to stop but was unsuccessful. I suffered mild concussion from hitting head on steering wheel. Air bags DID NOT deploy. No warning from car until impact happened. Was taken to hospital via ambulance for further examination.

WHEN BRAKING THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKE PEDAL, AND EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE CAR PULSES/SHAKES/VIBRATES. WHEN I HAD MY FIRST MAINTENANCE, I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT IT AND THEY TEMPORALLY FIXED IT BY SHAVING THE ROTORS. IT COMES WITH BREMO CALIPERS BUT NOT BREMO PADS, ROTORS, ETC. I'VE SPOKEN WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE OVER SOCIAL MEDIA AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO BEING DONE IS SHAVING AND REPLACING THE ROTORS/PADS WITH THE SAME ONES THAT HAVE THE ISSUE. MANY HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY RELYING ON AFTERMARKET PADS AND ROTORS WHICH ARE EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE SPORTINESS OF THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE TO BUY EXPENSIVE AFTERMARKET PARTS TO FIX A SAFETY HAZARD AND POTENTIALLY VOID ANY WARRANTY WHEN WE BUY/LEASE A NEW EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP, THANK YOU! *TR

AT AROUND 8:45 A.M. ON JAN. 19, 2020, I LEFT MY HOUSE, DROVE TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE SUBDIVISION, AND TURNED LEFT ONTO THE CITY STREET. BECAUSE OF THE BAD WEATHER IN EARLIER HOURS, I KNEW THAT THE ROAD WAS RATHER ICY. SO I WAS EXTRA CAUTIOUS AND ESTIMATE MY SPEED WAS AROUND 25 MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT IS 40 MPH). JUST ABOUT 0.1 MILE FROM ENTERING THE CITY STREET, I SAW THAT THE STREET LIGHT ABOUT 100 YARDS AHEAD OF ME WAS RED. I TURNED MY SIGNAL TO GO INTO THE RIGHT LANE (STREET HAD BECOME 2 LANES VS ONE LANE AT THAT POINT) WHILE STARTING TO GENTLY PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO FURTHER DECELERATE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR SEEMED TO DO ITS OWN THING, SLIDING AND TURNING ALMOST 90 DEGREES AND HITTING THE SNOW BANK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE STREET, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR (PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF $3,743 WHICH MAY GO HIGHER). WHEN I STARTED DECELERATING, MY SPEED MUST HAVE BEEN AROUND 25 MPH. ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW THE SPEED AT THE POINT OF IMPACT, IT MUST HAVE BEEN RATHER LOW SINCE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF AND I DID NOT GET ANY WHIPLASH. OF COURSE, I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. HERE IS WHAT I BELIEVE HAPPENED: THIS CAR HAS A STRANGE-FEELING BRAKE. IF YOU PUSH GENTLY ON IT, AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS IT BRAKES HARDER AND INDEED JERKS THE OCCUPANTS BEFORE STOPPING. I KNEW THIS IRRITATING THING FOR A WHILE SINCE I HAD OWNED THE CAR SINCE THE SPRING OF 2019, BUT NEVER THOUGHT THAT IT COULD BECOME A HAZARD. I BELIEVE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE GENTLY ON THE ROAD, IT STARTED BRAKING HARDER AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL ON THE RATHER ICY ROAD. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ESC SYSTEM COMES INTO PLAY AS WELL OR NOT, BUT I AM CONFIDENT ABOUT HOW THE BRAKE ACTS. THIS BRAKING CONDITION IN MY CAR HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY ANOTHER DRIVER AND I AM OPEN TO FURTHER VERIFICATION. I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR.
