What owners wrote
I have had no accidents for over 20 years, now I have two fender benders - rear end collisions. The first one, 10/07/11, was at less than or about 5MPH and I remember braking as usual but it failed to stop and rear ended the vehicle in front. Only minor damages due to the speed involved. Next, today 11/14/11, I braked when a truck cut me off and merged on to the freeway from an exit only lane at the last minute, still it made contact with that truck, this time moderate damage to my vehicle and none to the truck.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai genesis. While the contact was attempting to place the vehicle in drive and release the parking brake, the vehicle made a loud abnormal noise. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 129,000.
