2016 HYUNDAI GENESIS Complaints

WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS SWITCH ON AND OFF. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE IN THE AUTO MODE. THE DASH SHOWS THE LIGHTS GO FROM AUTO TO DRLS TO OFF THEN BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY 'SAY' THEY CANNOT REPLICATE. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS AND NOT AFTER SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS OCCURRING BUT CANNOT UPLOAD IT TO THE SITE.

I WAS IN A TURN LANE WITH THE CAR RUNNING IN PARK. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT TO DRIVE. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF/ON. THE CAR THEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE WITH A HARSH JERK!. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION. WHEN LEAVING, MY CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND I NOTICED THAT THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED STOPPING AND STARTING A FEW TIMES. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT TO DRIVE. IT WOULD ONLY GO IN PARK, NEUTRAL AND REVERSE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE. I WILL HAVE THE DEALERSHIP CHECK IT ON MONDAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE OTHER NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF ON THEIR OWN. THE HEADLIGHT SETTING WAS SET TO AUTO AND THEY FLICKERED TWICE BEFORE SHUTTING ALL THE WAY OFF. AT THIS TIME I WAS ON A DARK ROAD WITHOUT STREETLIGHTS. THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IMMEDIATELY WAS TO TURN THE HEADLIGHT SETTING TO ON RATHER THAN AUTO. THIS ALSO HAPPENED THIS MORNING AS IT WAS RAINING BUT I FIGURED THAT WAS DUE TO GLOOMY WEATHER.

ON 7/20/20 AT 6:48 PM I WAS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. TAKING OUT 60 FEET OF FENCE AND ROLLING MULTIPLE TIMES. THANKFULL TO BE ALIVE; HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. AND MY VIN SHOWED NO RECALLS

2300 STARTED MY CAR TO GO GET LUNCH (AT WORK). I FIRST NOTICED THAT MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON (THEY ARE SET TO AUTOMATIC) SO I TURNED IT BACK ONE AND THEY TURNED ON; HOWEVER, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT. ALSO NO SOUND WHEN USING SIGNALS. LASTLY, THE SEAT BELT CHIME WOULD ALARM EVERY 15 SEC OR SO, THE WARNING LIGHT ON DASH STAYED ON. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR (WENT IN STORE) AND RESTARTED IT ALL SEEMS TO BE GOOD? *TR

THIS IS AWFUL, I WAS JUST DRIVING ON A SUNNY SUNDAY AND I HEARD THE WIND AND START WONDERING WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THEN I OPENED THE SUNROOF WINDOW AND PIECES OF GLASS STARTED TO FALL OVER MY HEAD AND ALL OVER MY CAR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, WHY HYUNDAI IS USING SO CHEAP GLASS THAT EXPLODES WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES? THEY NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT AND ADMITTED THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. I RESEARCH ONLINE, AND THERE'S A LAWSUIT IN WHICH THEY AGREED TO FIX IT BUT WHO KNOWS, THAT WAS IN 2019. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE EXPERIENCE ISN'T A PLEASANT ONE.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH HEADLIGHTS ON AUTO, I PUT THE TURN SIGNAL ON, AND ALL LIGHTS (INTERIOR, DASH, AND HEADLIGHTS) RANDOMLY GO OUT. THIS ALSO HAPPENS RANDOMLY AT NIGHT WHEN CHANGING LANES (USING TURN SIGNAL) AND I MUST QUICKLY TURN THEM ON MANUALLY. THIS SPECIFICALLY HAPPENS WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL STALK, ALL LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. BIG SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH HEADLIGHTS ON AUTO, I PUT THE TURN SIGNAL ON, AND ALL LIGHTS (INTERIOR, DASH, AND HEADLIGHTS) RANDOMLY GO OUT. THIS ALSO HAPPENS RANDOMLY AT NIGHT WHEN CHANGING LANES (USING TURN SIGNAL) AND I MUST QUICKLY TURN THEM ON MANUALLY. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SO I TOOK IT TO CHANTILLY HYUNDAI AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE IT SO DID NOTHING. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE NHTSA 5 TIMES, BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T POWER ON UNTIL I SLAM THE DOOR OR GO THROUGH THE TRUNK TO WIGGLE THE BATTERY CABLES. IF I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT IT KNOCKS THE POWER OUT. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING WHEN DARK THE HEADLIGHTS AND GO OFF SUDDENLY THEN FLASH BACK ON.

PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY / DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY. RESULT: DEALER REPLACED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY IN 2018 AND NOISE NO LONGER EXISTS. PREVIOUSLY, BETWEEN 15 MPH AND 20 MPH AT CRUISE SPEED AND NO ACCELERATION, A LOUD BUFFETING/RECOILING/CUFFING NOISE IS AUDIBLE IN THE CABIN. SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT ORIGINATES UNDER THE FLOOR BOARDS. HEARD THIS FROM THE MOMENT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW WITH 15 MILES ON THE ODOMETER UNTIL I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER TWO YEARS LATER, WHICH, AS WRITTEN ABOVE, THEY DIAGNOSED THE SOURCE TO THE PROPELLER SHAFT / DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY.
