2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS Complaints

AT NIGHT WHEN HEAD LIGHTS ARE ON AND BLINKER IS USED, WHEN THE BLINKER IS PUT ON OR WHEN THE TURN IS COMPLETED AND THE BLINKER GOES OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF FOR 3-5 SECONDS. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN BLINKER IS NOT USED WHILE DRIVING ALL HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF FOR 3-5 SECONDS. IT IS MORE PREVALENT WHEN BLINKER IS USED. IT HAPPENED TWICE ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK THIS MORNING. I PUT TODAYS DATE ON THIS COMPLAINT, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

RIGHT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT/TURN SIGNAL REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS. BOTH TIMES WAS WORKING WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED, STOPPED WORKING NEXT TIME VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. BOTH TIMES, THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS BEFORE BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT.

DURING START-UP WHILE STATIONARY, CAR RANDOMLY EXPERIENCED A FULL LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER RENDERING THE WHOLE CAR INOPERABLE AND REQUIRING A TOW TRUCK. UPON TOW TRUCK ARRIVING AT DESTINATION, CAR WAS RUNNING. HIGHLY UNSAFE. OCCURRED ON 7/2/2018 AND 7/19/2018 TO DATE.

LOSS OF AIR FROM TIRES. SIDEWALL CRACKING WITH COMPLETE SHREDDING OF TIRE SURFACE LEADING TO EMERGENT STOP WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY.

HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, 5 OF WHICH I WAS TRAVELING ON RURAL ROADS WITH NO STREETLIGHTS. DURING THE DAY, THE LIGHT DIAGRAM BOX WHICH SHOWS IF YOUR LIGHTS ARE IN AUTOMATIC, DRL OR MANUAL MODE CYCLES THROUGH. IN ADDITION, I AM CONSTANTLY REPLACING TURN SIGNAL BULBS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI OVER 60 TIMES AND THEY HAVE EXPRESSED NO INTEREST IN REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. THEY KNOW THAT IT IS THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED VIA THE DEALERSHIP'S CONVERSATION WITH HYUNDAI. IT'S IMPORTANT TO REPORT THIS IF YOUR VEHICLE IS AFFECTED, TO HIGHLIGHT THE FREQUENCY OF THIS DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON I-295 IN WASHINGTON, DC WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN IN EXTREMELY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO GET MY VEHICLE OFF THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND TO A SAFER LOCATION, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO MORE THAN A FEW METERS. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. THIS IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT IT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLES FOR SOME TIME NOW. AFTER MORE THAN ONE (1) HOUR, I WAS RESCUED BY A TOWING COMPANY THAT LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DISCOVERED THAT I REQUIRE AT LEAST A THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND HAS ORDERED THE PARTS WHICH MEANS THAT I AM RENTING A CAR UNTIL THE REPAIRS ARE MADE (THE PART WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO BE DELIVERED). AFTER THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY IS INSTALLED, THE DEALERSHIP WILL RESCAN TO SEE IF THAT ELIMINATES SOME OF THE OTHER CODES THAT WERE DISCOVERED.

FRONT INSIDE DOOR LOCK SWITCH (DRIVER'S SIDE) REMAINS IN THE UNLATCHED POSITION WHEN I ATTEMPT TO LOCK DOOR VIA LOCK BUTTON FROM INSIDE OF CAR OR VIA KEY FOB FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. ALL OTHER DOORS (FRONT PASSENGER, LEFT REAR, RIGHT REAR) LOCK JUST FINE. HAZARD: THE DOOR MAY NOT BE IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND MAY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURY TO THE DRIVER.

THIS CAR LOSES CONTROL ON ICE COVERED ROADS, AND HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR APPEARS TO BE OVER CORRECTING WHEN ROADS ARE ICE COVERED. THE REAREND OF THE CAR BEGINS TO SLIP FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE BEGINNING AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 40/45 MPH. THE PROBLEM IS, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. IT IS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH A STABILITY MODULE OR SOMETHING. DEALER SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE THE PROBLEM. A VERY SCARY SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS.

2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRES WERE WORN OUT AT 19,000 MILES. *JS

MULTI-FUNCTION HEADLIGHT SWITCH (CONTROL STALK) IS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSES LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO FLASH INTERMITTENTLY OR TURN OFF FOR A SHORT PERIOD TIME (3-5 SECONDS) WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL (RIGHT OR LEFT). THIS EVENT OCCURS WHILE CAR IS MOVING, SPEED DOES NOT MATTER. HEADLIGHT FLASHING OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS.
