2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS Complaints

WHEN TURNING RIGHT, HEADLIGHTS IN 'ON' POSITION AND TURN INDICATORS FUNCTIONING HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED THEN WENT OUT FOR A PERIOD OF 2-3 SECONDS ONCE TURN SIGNALS RETURNED TO NEUTRAL POSITION. HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES SINCE INITIAL. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO REPAIR. OTHER GENESIS DRIVERS REPORTING SAME FAILURE - SOME HAVE HAD TURN SIGNAL STALK REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING HOME TODAY MY CAR KILLED DEAD WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT WHILE I WAS TURNING OFF FM1960 ONTO KENSWICK IN HUMBLE TX WHICH IS A VERY BUSY STREET. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED I WROTE A LETTER BACK ON 5-22-15 TO HYUNDAI WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE. PLEASE HAVE THIS MATTER CHECKED INTO WITH HYUNDAI. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

MY CAR WAS SERVICED 3 TIMES AT DEALER DUE TO GASOLINE SMELL ISSUE AFTER DRIVING 2 HOURS CONTINUOUSLY AT HIGH TEMPERATURE 100+. I HAVE TO INHALING THE GAS MOST TIME WHEN I DRIVE BACK TO HOME. HYUNDAI IS TRYING TO IGNORE THIS HAZARD/SAFETY/HEALTH ISSUE... WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I GET HIT BY OTHER VEHICLE WHILE GAS FUME IS RELEASING FROM MY CAR? HOW ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE SEATING IN MY CAR WHILE I DRIVE THIS CAR?

WHEN DRIVING OUR CAR, IT JUST DIES WITH NO FOR WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 7 OR 8 TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, SO IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE ALL THE WAY TO SLOWING DOWN FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC. WE STARTED WORKING WITH FORT MILL HYUNDAI OVER TWO YEARS AGO AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THINGS LIKE OUR OIL CHANGE WAS PAST DUE TO MY WIFE DOESN'T DRIVE THE CAR HARD ENOUGH, BOTH LAUGHABLE RESPONSES TO A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. WE WERE GETTING NOWHERE WITH THE DEALER SO I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND AGAIN GOT A LAUGHABLE RESPONSE FROM THEIR INTERNET TEAM. WHEN I PUSHED THE ISSUE AND BROUGHT UP SOMEONE WAS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED AND THEY WOULD HEAR FROM AN ATTORNEY THEY HAD THEIR REGIONAL MANAGER OUT OF ATLANTA CALL ME (I BELIEVE HIS NAME IS [XXX], HE TALKED ME INTO TAKING THE CAR TO KEITH HAWTHORNE HYUNDAI AS THE FORT MILL LOCATION DID NOT FOLLOW THEIR INTERNAL PROCEDURES. IN WORKING WITH THE KEITH HAWTHORNE TEAM THEY FELT THEY COULD HELP ME OUT. AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 10 DAYS THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME TO PICK UP THE CAR AS HYUNDAI WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THEM TO DO ANYTHING ON THE CAR. I COMPLETELY REALIZE THE TECHNOLOGY AND COMPLEXITY OF TODAYS AUTOMOBILES AND WAS TRYING TO REMAIN PATIENT AND WORK WITH THEM EVEN THOUGH I FELT IT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK. UNFORTUNATELY HYUNDAI HAS MADE THE DECISION TO NOT WORK WITH ME LEAVING ME NO OPTION BUT TO REACH OUT TO YOU. A SIDE NOTE, IF YOU DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH YOU WILL SEE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY GENESIS OWNER HAVING THESE PROBLEMS, SO HYUNDAI HAS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MY CAR.

THIS IHAS HAPPENED 4-5 TIMES. I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET, THANK GOD, I WAS NOT ON HWYWAY, ENGINE JUST STALLED AND STREERING WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS HARD BUT, SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET ON THE CURBE AND AVOID A CRASH. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I THINK, HYUNDAI SURE KNOW THIS PROBLEM EXIST IN GENESIS TOO. IT IS SAME PROBLEM ( SYMPTOMS) AS DESCRIBED IN HYUNDAI'S SONATA RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HYUNDIA WAITING FOR. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A $50,000 CAR . I HAVE NO TRUST ON THIS CAR ANYMORE. THIS WOULD BE MY LAST HYUNDAI. I KNOW, IF I TAKE CAR TO DEALERSHIP , I WOULD HEAR RESPONSE THAT , NO ISSUE FOUND. GENESIS HAS A SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEM WITH STALLING.

THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY, I HAD JUST TURNED FOR HOME ON A 25 MPH STREET SO I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT I COULD MANAGE TO AT LEAST GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DO NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED 15 MINUTES EARLIER IF IT HAD SHUT DOWN ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE I WAS ON. IT DID START BACK UP AGAIN, BUT NOW AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI, BUT IF THERE FOLLOW-UP IS ANYTHING LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST, IT WILL BE A WASTE OF MY TIME. THEY WILL JUST SAY THAT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND SEND US A COFFEE MUG HOPING THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PREVIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES: SUCH AS CAR STARTING BACK UP BY ITSELF AFTER BEING SHUT OFF, THE RADIO LITERALLY POPPING ON AND OFF, THE RADIO LOCKING ON A STATION (YOU COULD CHANGE CHANNELS, BUT THE SAME STATION KEPT PLAYING), THE NAV TURNING ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. THE CAR HAD BEEN DOING OKAY THIS YEAR UNTIL THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT WHERE IT JUST FLAT SHUT OFF. DO NOT TRUST HYUNDAI TO SOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT IS TO SCARY TO DRIVE. AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A LEMON LAW IN THIS STATE. NO MATTER WHAT, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS WILL BE MY LAST HYUNDAI.

WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65MPH THE ENGINE MISSED THEN STALLED. I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ON. DEALER IS NOT FINDING ANYTHING USING COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES AT HIGH SPEEDS IS NOT GOOD!!!!
