2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS Complaints

WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS ARE IN THE "AUTO" POSITION AND I ENGAGE MY TURN SIGNALS MY HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER AND THE LCD SCREEN ON MY DASH SWITCHES BETWEEN "AUTO" AND "DRL OFF" WHICH CAUSES MY LIGHTS TO TURN OFF FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M IN MOTION AND WHEN THE TURNING STALK IS ENGAGED, EITHER FULLY OR SEMI, OR EVEN SOMETIMES WHEN I JUST PUSH UP AGAINST THE STALK WITHOUT ACTUALLY ENGAGING THE TURN SIGNAL. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVER TIME, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

ON 8/3/19 DRIVING ON ACADEMY ST. IN NEWARK NJ @7:50 AM, AT THE RED LIGHT ON ACADEMY & WASHINGTON ST. MY BRAKES FAILED WITH NO WARNING, AND I ROLLED THRU A RED LIGHT WHERE THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE BACK UP AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT AS A BUS WAITED. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AFTER MY BRAKES FAILED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT A FEW YARDS AWAY, AND CALLED GENESIS, WHICH SAID THEY RECEIVED AN ALERT ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND I ASKED WHY THEY WERE NO ALERTS ON THE IMPENDING BRAKE ISSUES, AS I HAD RECEIVED A PRIOR ALERT ON ANOTHER ISSUE DEALING WITH THE FUEL VAPOR HARNESS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO DROP OF THE CAR ON 8/5/19. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS CORRODE REAR BRAKE LINES, AND BRAKE HYDRAULICS, AND WAS BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY( I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM THE HYUNDAI GENESIS DEALER AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN 8/2019), AND IT APPEARS THIS IS THE WARRANTY COVERING THE REPAIRS, NOT THE BALANCE OF HYUNDAI'S VAUNTED WARRANTY., MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 20,038 MILES ON IT, SO HEAVY USAGE IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE. IT APPEARS THE WERE BAD PARTS ON THE CAR, AND I WAS JUST LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED A BAD ACCIDENT THAT MORNING. SO FAR, THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE 8/5/19, WITH NO INFORMATION AS TO WHERE THE REPAIRS STAND, OR IF THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRABLE. WE HAVE TWO OF THESE VEHICLES IN THE FAMILY AND ARE CONCERNED, AND ARE KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH ON THE OTHER.I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THERE MAY OTHER OWNERS DRIVING THESE CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS QUITE UNKNOWN TO THEM.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS(DRL) AND FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULBS BURN OUT VERY FREQUENTLY DUE TO THE FACT THEY ARE THE SAME FILAMENT IN THE BULB EVEN THOUGH THEY REQUIRE A DUAL FILAMENT BULB. THE WIRING HARNESSES ALSO SHOW SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF OVERHEATING. THIS IS A VERY WIDELY-KNOWN ISSUE IN THE ONLINE FORUMS FOR THIS CAR AND IS A COMPLETELY UNSAFE ISSUE. THE DRIVERS SIDE BULB IS EASY TO REPLACE, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT. I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE 3 TIMES AND THE PASSENGER SIDE 2 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. BETWEEN BULBS AND MECHANIC FEES FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE, I HAVE SPENT $200-$300 IN THE LAST YEAR MAINTAIN THIS UNSAFE PROBLEM.

THE HEADLIGHT MODE WILL SOMETIMES CHANGE FROM AUTO TO OFF AND BACK TO AUTO WHILE DRIVING (ON CITY STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY), WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. THIS CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS TO MOMENTARILY SWITCH OFF. I FEEL LIKE THIS MAY BE DUE TO A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE HEADLIGHT MODE ON THE LEFT MULTIFUNCTION STALK, AS THE AUTO AND OFF MODES ARE ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER.

THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNALS LAMPS BURNT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, I THEN REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND THEY BLEW OUT AGAIN. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT ONLY THE LEFT FRONT LAMP WORKED PROPERLY WHERE AS THE SIDE WAS STILL INOPERABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPACED THE PLUG THAT THE BUT BULB WAS ATTACHED TO NOW I'M JUST WAITED TO SEE IF ANY OTHER ISSUES OCCUR.

SITTING FROM IDLE,GIVING IT GAS THE CAR BOGS DOWN,HESTIATES BEFORE TAKING OFF.WHEN IT DOES MOVE IT'S SUDDEN AND SURPRISES YOU MY THE MOVEMENT

MY HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF (COMPLETELY) ON OCCASION WHEN I TOUCH THE BLINKER SIGNAL STALK. THEY THEN FLICKER AND CYCLE. HERE IS VIDEO OF THE EXACT ISSUE - HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WYAMRUDMTQG. IT HAPPENED ON THE PA TURNPIKE WHILE I WAS GOING 70 MPH. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MANY SIMILAR REPORTS FOR THE HYUNDAI GENESIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER 3 YEARS TO ME.

BACK UP CAMERA. I HAVE REPLACED THE BACK UP CAMERA 3X AND IT IS STILL MESSING UP. NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, WHEN IT WAS LIKE I SAID IT WAS REPLACED 3X. THE BACK UP CAMERA ACTS UP WHEN PUT IN REVERSE, IT SHOWS A BLUE SCREEN AT TIMES OTHER TIMES IT GLITCHES AND SHOWS BLACK AND WHITE, ETC.

PLEASE DISREGARD AND DELETE THIS VOQ. I AM TESTING THE SYSTEM FOR A CLIENT TO SEE WHAT IF ANY CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
