    Aggressive Braking - Vibration

    Although I've had my 2105 Genesis for a few months, I had never taken a good long road trip on Interstate highways until last week during which I was able get comfortable with my Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and Lane Assist system. However, one issue that I encountered was never noticed when...

    How does the Autonomous emergency braking work?

    Reference the Autonomous emergency braking, the UK web page says. The Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system automatically activates the brake when it detects dangerous sudden brake activation by the car ahead by reading the front radar signal from the Smart cruise control (SCC) and the...

    Is my Automatic Emergency Braking not working?

    I've had the car for about a week and a half and not once have I had the AEB flash a warning signal even when I've been very close to the rear of other cars (was trying to test it)? I've always had to brake myself. How can I really know if my AEB system is working correctly?

    SCC Issue. Sudden Braking

    Many electrical problems. Latest electrical problem very serious. While driving on the interstate, the radar cruise control malfunctioned. The vehicle dramatically slowed for no apparent reason. Lucky that no vehicle was following closely, otherwise I would have been hit.

    Second Generation Automatic Emergency Braking System Question

    I understand that this system uses both onboard forward looking cameras and the Smart Cruise Control System to determine if & when the automatic emergency braking system will be activated. Also, the driver must first put a "checkmark" beside the automatic emergency braking system in the driver...

    Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

    I've had a 2015 3.8 AWD Ultimate for almost three months. One thing I never got to try (for obvious reasons) was the Automatic Emergency Braking system. Today I was driving on the highway at about 65MPH and had auto-cruise set. Traffic was moving just fine, but someone made a quick maneuver and...

    Operation of "auto hold" braking

    The auto hold feature is enabled by a button on the console behind the shifter. Question: Can it be permanently enabled? From my experience so far, you have to enable it everytime you start the car, which seems a bit silly. It seems like one of the more useful of the many, many options on...

    Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEB)

    When I bought the 2015 Genesis, I expected it come with an AEB system. I don't have any messages on my HUD when I am driving. It appears AEB does not meet the specifications in chapter 5 of the owner manual. Does anyone can tell me if their AEB system works in normal driving mode?

    Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEB) alarms

    I just now drove home in a real frog-strangler of a rainstorm. It was raining so hard that the wipers could barely keep up. A big gust of flying water hit the car and I felt the brakes grab for just an instant. Then, a red triangle lit up on the panel and a box appeared on the LCD announcing...

    Strange bumping sound in tire/brake (?) when braking...

    Hey guys, I am experiencing an issue with my 2011 Genesis 3.8 and I hope someone can help! It sounds like there is some kind of bumping or thumping sound in the tire or brake area when I apply the brakes. It's a steady, almost quick paced bump noise and sounds like it could be coming from...

    Autonomous emergency braking

    We are taking our new Genesis out for its first long distance trip and I wanted to know about the Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) feature. If I am driving and someone suddenly cuts into my driving lane right in front of me, the AEB is supposed to slow the car. How well does this work? Of...

    About to place an order - a few questions about the Automatic Braking feature

    Good Morning one and all. I am crossing over from being a long time lurker to almost being a new owner and hence a first time poster. I have already had the chance to go and see the car myself and this Sunday, the wifey will have a chance as well. I have already been discussing with her about...

    Engine Shuddering at Hard Braking?

    During my stop and go drive into work this morning, i felt a shuddering of the engine when i broke harder than usual to come to a red light. The car had been adequately warmed up (this was after at least 5 miles into the drive), the ac was on a low setting. Lights weren't on, etc. A very...

    Emergency Braking

    I love the current Genesis commercial with the kid ogling the pretty girl. On my very first drive home yesterday with my new 3.8 Ultimate, a stake truck blew a transmission in front of me on an on-ramp and screeched to a sudden stop with smoke billowing from the rear tires. I was in cruise...

    Bouncy Braking

    The thing I like the least about the used 2012 v6 sedan with 30k miles is the bounciness of the braking. Whenever i come to a stop i have to deal with some motion forward and backward. Even when shifting from reverse to drive, after the shift, there's a bounce. Is this normal? It sometimes...

    loss of engine braking at 900rpm.

    When my 2011 Genesis 6-cylinder coasts down to 900 rpm it freewheels for a few seconds before resuming engine braking. Is there anything that can be done about this?

    Radar Cruise Braking down slight hills

    My 2012 Equus is going to the dealer's Tuesday for the map upgrade (we'll see if that fixes the street first malady) but today, when driving in some mildly hilly country with the cruise set at 60mph I noticed that it seems to be braking when picking up a few mph going down slight hills. The...

    Engine braking between 31 and 25

    Hey everyone, Just curious what the engineering reason is behind the drag the transmission applies while decelerating between 31 thru 25 mph. The behavior I notice is what feels like a grab starting at 31 that continues down to 25 when a noticeable release occurs. It's very pronounced with my...
