2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS Complaints

PANORAMIC ROOF REAR PANEL SHATTERED. VEHICLE WAS SLOWLY TRANSITIONING FROM DRIVEWAY TO ROAD SURFACE OVER SLIGHT DEPRESSION. REAR SUNROOF PANEL BEGAN TO MAKE POPPING NOISES THAT DID NOT STOP WHEN I STOPPED MOVING. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR THE REAR PANEL SHATTERED UPWARDS, SPRAYING GLASS BITS ONTO ME AND THE GROUND. REAR PANEL SHATTERING WAS MOSTLY CONTAINED BY SHATTERPROOF FILM INSTALLED ON THE INSIDE AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE THAT THESE GLASS PANELS ARE PRONE TO SPONTANEOUS IMPLOSIONS. VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY AT DEALER BEING VALIDATED FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE.

THE POWER TRUNK HATCH MALFUNCTIONS, OPENING THE TRUNK EITHER PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY. UNFORTUNATELY IT DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY UNLESS USING THE TRUNK BUTTON INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ONE INCIDENT, THE TRUNK ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE WITHOUT WARNING OR NOTICE. NO BUTTON WAS ACTIVATED TO CLOSE AT THE TIME. THE TRUNK WOULD OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN MOTION ON THE ROADWAY, AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF. ALL WERE ISOLATED INSTANCES. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THE MALFUNCTION, HOWEVER HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORST FROM THE ONSET. I WAS ABLE TO UTILIZE THE "VALET TRUNK LOCKOUT FEATURE" FOR NOW, DEACTIVATING THE TRUNK FUNCTIONS. I'M SCHEDULED TO MEET WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE SOON. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON RANDOMLY WHILE SITTING STILL AND DRIVING, IT SHOWS ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCHING FROM AUTO MODE AND OFF RANDOMLY I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON A COUPLE FORUMS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL BEFORE SOME HITS A CHILD OR A CAR IN THE STREET CAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT TRYING TO WORK ON IT SOME PEOPLE SAID BY REPLACING THE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE IT FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FIX NOT A OWNER FIX IF THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM ( I FOUND AS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE WHICH IS THE EXACT PROBLEM EVERY ONE IS HAVING HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/WYAMRUDMTQG)

RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THE GLASS IN FRONT OF SUNROOF COULD CRACK AND SHATTER. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPEN, IT START WITH CRACKS AT THE CORNERS, THEN ALONG THE BOTTOM AND TOP AND NOW THE RUBBER THAT HOLDS IT, BROKE OFF.

AT TIMES THE VECHICLE SURGES FORWARD WHEN CLOSE TO ANOTHER VECHICLE WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL. HEADS LIGHTS HAVE TURN OFF, ON, AUTOMATIC, LOW WITH OUT ANY HUMAN INTERACTION. NAVAGATION SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLANK

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL BULBS SEVERAL TIMES (3 TIMES SO FAR). THE 2015 MODEL USES ONE LIGHT TO FUNCTION AS BOTH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT AND ALSO AS THE TURN SIGNAL. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY OVERHEAT AND IT WAS PROBABLY A BAD DESIGN IN MY OPINION. I FEEL LIKE HYUNDAI NEEDS TO STRONGLY CONSIDER A RECALL TO RECTIFY THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. I DON'T EVER REMEMBER HAVING TO REPLACE A TURN SIGNAL ON ANY OF THE VEHICLES I'VE EVER OWNED AND IT SEEMS THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT CREATES A BIT OF A SAFETY ISSUE TOO - BEING WITHOUT A FRONT TURN SIGNAL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I PUT MARCH 16 BELOW AS THAT WAS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE.

VEHICLE WILL SHIFT HARSHLY/JERK AT LOW SPEEDS (MOST COMMON AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AS WELL AS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC). VEHICLE TAKES LONGER TO CHANGE GEARS (RPMS HANG THEN DROP). DOWN-SHIFTING SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE AS WELL; DELAYED DOWN-SHIFT AS THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP . BEHAVIOR STARTED AROUND 75,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION ALSO ACTS AS IF IT IS SLIPPING AND THEN SUDDENLY ENGAGES, JUST AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL MOMENTARILY AND THEN DROPPED INTO GEAR. I WOULD CHARACTERIZE THIS UNPREDICTABLE LURCHING BEHAVIOR (A RESULT OF THE HARSH UP- AND DOWN-SHIFTS) AS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TURN SIGNAL INTERMITTENTLY INOPERABLE. WHEN UNDER WARRANTEE, HAD DEALERSHIP REPAIR 5-6 TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEY CHANGED BULBS AND BOTH ELECTRICAL HARNESSES. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. TOOK THE CAR INTO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE LEFT AND RIGHT SOCKETS BURNED INTERNAL TO HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM EARLY ON AND CONTINUES TODAY. ON TWO OCCASIONS AT NIGHT THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT IS RELATED TO THE BURNED INTERNAL SOCKETS AS WELL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY REVERSED AND THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NAPLETON HYUNDAI GLENVIEW (LOCATED AT 1620 WAUKEGAN RD, GLENVIEW, IL 60025, (847) 729-8900) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 15620163. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

ON 31 JAN 2019-ICE AND SNOW COLLECT IN A POCKET UNDER THE ENGINE. FREEZING THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. THE "ELECTRONIC STEERING LIGHT " CAME ON, RESULTING IN NO STEERING FUNCTION AT ALL. AUTO HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. LUCKY FOR ME I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. AS I WAS PICKING UP MY AUTO, ANOTHER ONE CAME IN ON A FLATBED WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.
