2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS Complaints

VERY BAD KNOCKING WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS OCCURRED WHILE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DISENGAGED AND TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. *JS

HAVE A WHITISH, GREY CONDENSATION CREEPING UP ABOUT 3" FROM THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD AND ALSO ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOWS, FRONT AND BACK AND THE REAR WINDOW. ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE MOLD. *JS AT THE DEALERSHIP, CHECKED OUT 5 OTHER GENESIS, THEY ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NO OTHER MODEL OF HYUNDAI'S HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS MOLDY LOOKING CONDENSATION/MOISTURE IS INSIDE THE WINDOW ITSELF, NOT TOUCHABLE ON EITHER SIDE OF WINDOW. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE THE MOLDY APPEARANCE SUBSIDES AND THE WINDOWS APPEAR LIKE DOUBLE PANE WINDOWS WITH A BROKEN SEAL.

REAR LEFT AND CENTER INBOARD FEMALE SEAT BELT BUCKLES ARE REVERSED. THIS PREVENTS USE OF THE CENTER BELT WHEN THE LEFT OUTBOARD SEAT BELT IS BUCKLED AS THE BELT COVERS THE INBOARD CENTER BUCKLE. NEED DEALER RECALL TO FIX PROBLEM AND HAVE HYUNDAI RECOGNIZE THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

THE REAR CENTER SEAT BELT ANCHOR AND THE LEFT SEAT BELT ANCHOR ARE REVERSED. WHEN ONE PASSENGER FASTENS THEIR SEAT BELT IT COVERS THE ANCHOR POINT FOR THE OTHER PASSENGER. THE ONLY WAY TO CONNECT BOTH IS TO TWIST THE SEAT BELTS ACROSS EACH OTHER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE APPLIED FORCES WOULD NOT BE IN LINE WITH THE SEAT BELT ANCHOR POINTS AND WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT CONFORM TO THE INTENDED DESIGNS PARAMETERS. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE SEAT BELTS TO GO ACROSS MY GRAND CHILDRENS NECKS WHEN THEY ARE IN THE BACK SEAT IN THEIR BOOSTER SEATS WHICH WOULD CAUSE THEM SERIOUS HARM IN A ACCIDENT. THE HYUNDAI DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND AGREES THAT THE ANCHOR POINTS ARE BACKWARDS BUT THEY SAID THAT IT CANNOT BE REVERSED DUE TO THE WAY THE CAR IS DESIGNED. *TR

I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, NOW I HAVE TWO FENDER BENDERS - REAR END COLLISIONS. THE FIRST ONE, 10/07/11, WAS AT LESS THAN OR ABOUT 5MPH AND I REMEMBER BRAKING AS USUAL BUT IT FAILED TO STOP AND REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. ONLY MINOR DAMAGES DUE TO THE SPEED INVOLVED. NEXT, TODAY 11/14/11, I BRAKED WHEN A TRUCK CUT ME OFF AND MERGED ON TO THE FREEWAY FROM AN EXIT ONLY LANE AT THE LAST MINUTE, STILL IT MADE CONTACT WITH THAT TRUCK, THIS TIME MODERATE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND NONE TO THE TRUCK. THE SPEED HERE WAS ABOUT 10-15MPH. I HAVE OBSERVED THAT WHEN I PUT MY LEG ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE STARTING, IT GOES DOWN A LITTLE BIT WHICH MAY BE NORMAL, BUT, I AM AFRAID THAT SUCH A TRAVEL / PLY COULD HAVE HAPPENED DURING THE ABOVE TWO COLLISIONS BECAUSE I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT IT TRAVELED EVEN AFTER I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. *TR

THE REAR CENTER SEAT BELT ANCHOR AND THE LEFT SEAT BELT ANCHOR ARE REVERSED. WHEN ONE PASSENGER FASTENS THERE SEAT BELT IT COVERS THE ANCHOR POINT FOR THE OTHER PASSENGER. THE ONLY WAY TO CONNECT BOTH IS TO TWIST THE SEAT BELTS ACROSS EACH OTHER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE APPLIED FORCES WOULD NOT BE IN LINE WITH THE SEAT BELT ANCHOR POINTS AND WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT CONFORM TO THE INTENDED DESIGNS PARAMETERS. THE HYUNDAI DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND AGREES THAT THE ANCHOR POINTS ARE BACKWARDS. THUS FAR HYUNDAI HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS ANY PROBLEM. *TR
