2016 HYUNDAI GENESIS Complaints

AFTER REFUELING, STARTED VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT AUTO-ON HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK AS I HAD TO TURN THEM TO THE MANUAL "ON" SETTING. NEXT, MY DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AND THE DASH LIGHTS BECAME EXTREMELY BRIGHT. NEXT, MY SEAT BELT CONTINUOUSLY "CHIMED" WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH IT ON. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY TURN SIGNALS, WHEN ACTIVATED, DID NOT MAKE A SOUND. I DROVE LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT (30) MINUTES IN THE EVENING.

AFTER MY TRIP, WHEN I DROVE THE CAR THE HANDLE OF THE WHEEL DID NOT MOVE. DON'T ROTATE A STEERING WHEEL CAUSED BY AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE. HYUNDAI SAYS THAT AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE IS A DAMAGE CAUSED BY RODENTS. IF I DRIVE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK. THE PROBLEM MAKES THE BIG ACCIDENT. I THINK IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH SHOULD USE THING THAT IS A STRONG MATERIALS AND DESIGN AGAINST EXTERNAL INFLUENCES. IT IS NECESSARY TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE STRENGTH OF STEERING WHEEL PARTS IS PROPER. I KNOW THAT THE COMPANY HAS RECALLED SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN OTHER MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY HYUNDAI (939 NEWPORT AVE, PAWTUCKET, RI 02861) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE RESULTS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ONE YEAR LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO COURTESY HYUNDAI. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED, BUT THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

CHANGED LANES AT 30 TO 40 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, REMOVED FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL, HEARD ENGINE REVVING HIGH THEN WITHIN ONE TO TWO SECONDS I FELT AND HEARD A HARD BANG AND HEAVY PUSH. THOUGHT SOMEONE HIT ME, BUT NO ONE DID. CAR STARTLED ME AND MY WIFE. IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION, THEN REENGAGED, WHICH GAVE THE SUDDEN OUTCOME. THIS HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS AND NO FURTHER INCIDENT. I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGH WAY OR AT A CRITICAL POINT OF DRIVING. I THINK IT CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN.

VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 2000 MILES WHEN IT FIRST DID THIS. DASH DISPLAY MALFUNCTION. WHEN BACKING UP DISPLAY IS BLACKED OUT. YOU CAN'T SEE ANY VIDEO FROM BACK UP CAMERA. ALSO DISPLAY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. GAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE TO DEALER SO THEY KNOW I'M NOT CRAZY. SOMETIMES YOU TURN CAR OFF AND LOCK THE CAR AND THE DISPLAY IS STILL PLAYING. DEALER COULD GET THIS ISSUE TO RECREATE WHILE IN THERE POSSESSION FOR FOUR TRIES LATER IS STILL DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS EVEN AFTER A "FINAL" REPAIR WAS OFFERED BY THE DEALER WHICH CONSISTED OF A TOTAL DASH REPLACEMENT THE MANAGER SAID COST HYUNDAI OVER $5000.

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WOULD ONLY GO DOWN OR UP ABOUT 1 INCH AT A TIME NO MATTER IF YOU PRESS AND HOLD THE BUTTON UP OR DOWN, OR PRESS AND RELEASE. DEALER COULD NOT GET THIS TO REPEAT AND IT IS STILL NOT REPAIRED.

BATTERY DISCHARGE ERROR COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR FIVE SECONDS THEN GOES OFF. WAIT ABOUT 40 SECONDS AND THIS REPEATS OVER AND OVER. DRIVING 8 MILES TO WORK THIS CAME ON 35 OR MORE TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE SEVERAL VIDEOS AND SHOWED THE SERVICE MANAGER. THEY COULD NOT GET THIS TO REPEAT WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION AND IT STILL RANDOMLY HAPPENS AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTING, DASH, AND HEADLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT FOR THREE SECONDS THEN CAME BACK ON. WE SLOWED DOWN BUT THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES BEFORE WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (CHAPMAN HYUNDAI SCOTTSDALE, 6601 E MCDOWELL RD #3, SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85257, 480-949-7600), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IF THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 10243115.
