• Brake hydraulic control module failure investigation as of 20131017

  On october 28, 2013, hyundai motor company (hyundai) submitted a defect information report (dir) to nhtsa describing a safety defect in the braking system of approximately 43,500 model year (my) 2009 through 2012 hyundai genesis sedans (nhtsa recall no. 13v-489).The hyundai report indicates that the recalled vehicles may contain brake fluid that does not sufficiently inhibit corrosion on the zinc plating of control valve armatures in the hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu) module. The dir indicated that, over time, the build-up of corrosion products may affect operation of hecu control valves, resulting in a low/soft brake pedal with reduced brake effectiveness, which may increase the risk of a crash.In october 2011, the hecu supplier notified hyundai that the brake fluid used in production plants was causing corrosion of valve armatures in the control module.The supplier changed the coating of the valve armatures in late march 2012 to correct the problem in production vehicles.Hyundais recall includes genesis vehicles produced prior to the implementation of the hecu change.In march 2013, hyundai initiated a service campaign (tl6) to replace brake fluid in the subject vehicles with brake fluid with better corrosion resistance properties.According to hyundais dir letter, after pe13-033 was opened, the company noted that some of the vehicles serviced in the tl6 campaign subsequently required hecu replacement.This was an indication that internal corrosion had progressed enough to affect valve operation and brake performance, prompting hyundai to conduct a safety recall.Hyundais repair procedures for 13v-489 require brake system flushing and replacement in all recalled vehicles with a new fluid containing the necessary corrosion inhibitor.In addition, for vehicles produced prior to june 1, 2010, dealers will perform an inspection procedure to verify that the hecu is functioning properly and replace units that do not meet the test requirements.Hyundai indicated that, based on analysis of claim data, only vehicles produced prior to june 1, 2010 have been in service long enough to require the additional inspection/replacement of the hecu. Analysis of failure data reported to nhtsa and provided by hyundai in response to odis information request letter for pe13-033 identified 756 complaints and 1,683 warranty claims for 30,114 subject vehicles produced prior to june 1, 2010, resulting in a complaint rate of 25.1 incidents per thousand vehicles (iptv) and a claim rate of 5.6 percent.The my 2009 vehicles, with the longest exposure times, experienced the highest complaint (33.5 iptv) and warranty (7.0 percent) rates.For the 45,639 subject vehicles produced after june 1, 2010, odi identified 13 complaints and 34 warranty claims, resulting in a complaint rate of 0.3 iptv and a warranty claim rate of 0.1 percent, indicating that the brake fluid corrosion concern had not progressed far enough to result in significant rates of brake system performance symptoms in those vehicles.This investigation is closed.Odi will continue to monitor complaints to evaluate the effectiveness of hyundais recall.The voqs noted in the failure report are: 10569231, 10560898, 10560495, 10559360, 10558279, 10558264, 10556964, 10556631, 10556577, 10556322, 10554988, 10554802, 10554122, 10552958, 10551817, 10551157, 10551110, 10551092, 10550791, 10550773, 10550431, 10549750, 10549634, 10549629, 10549567, 10549402, 10549376, 10549270, 10549228, 10549186, 10549021, 10548903, 10548823, 10548791, 10548737, 10548722, 10548716, 10548705, 10546565, 10544803, 10543663, 10542962, 10541959, 10541741, 10538208, 10537934, 10536652, 10535436, 10533459, 10525123, 10523412, 10514041, 10511037, 10510525, 10502374, 10499922, 10497935, 10492198, 10491494.

While driving my genesis 2010 sedan, the battery light illuminated, then the power steering did not respond. I was about 1/2 miles from my house and i had to wrestle with my steering wheel until i got home. The scary part was that i unexpectedly lost power steering during a turn at the traffic light. Luckily, no on coming traffic was near as i completed the turn on the opposite slide of the street. I fortunately arrive home, parked the vehicle and had it towed to the mechanics. I learned that the alternator went out and so did the battery. Luckly, during the turn i did not crash, but it was very nervous the rest of the way.

I was driving in a grocery store parking lot and went over a speed bump at maybe 2 miles an hour and both my front headrest discharged.

Temporary spare has a split in the tread area. Never used. Took it out to clean trunk and noticed a flat spot on the tread and then the tear.

Driver lost control of vehicle going around curve, car turned out and slid off the road, making contact with a tree (rear of the vehicle hit the tree)

Sunroof spontaneously shattered on the highway causing paint damage and cuts on my hands. I was traveling at 65mph going straight.

Headights turn off for several seconds while driving then come on again eventually. Both headlamps go off together. Headlight switch in manual on position, not the auto on/off position which i do not use.

Car seems to have electrical issues it just shuts off etc just found out i purchased a lemon odometer rollback

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. After being parked for three months, the vehicle failed to start. The contact looked under the hood and found rodent excrement, food particles, and noticed that the wiring harness was chewed through. The vehicle was towed to bob baker hyundai (located at 5285 car country dr, carlsbad, ca 92008, (760) 929-4900) where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact stated that the mechanic failed to properly diagnose the vehicle. The repair cost $1,300. The contact stated that the check engine and tire pressure monitoring system warning indicators illuminated after the vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the contact was informed that the engine's wiring harness was soy-based. After the vehicle was repaired, it failed to operate as intended. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,773.

Headlights flash when switching from "auto" to "on" position. Occasionally the headlights in the "on" positon will blackout for 2-5 seconds until headlight stalk is giggled. There is an electrical "noise" (like a short circuit sound...A "pop") when switching from auto to on. The turn signals also seem to trigger the "short circuit". All of these conditions can occur moving or standing still.On any type of roadway.

Spongy brake pedal goes to floor as in recall 13v489000 with other vehicles of this make and type, but no recall on this vehicle all other repairs standard repairs not clearing problem

I feel like the transition on this car is a safety hazard. It locks you out of second gear at high rpms which could be dangerous in some situations. Also from 5th and 6th gear grind and are hard to actuate. A lot of people are having this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. The contact stated that the brake lights failed to illuminate. A dealer had not diagnosed the vehicle. The manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was serviced per an unknown recall campaign in 2014 and 2016; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v113000 (service brakes, hydraulic, exterior lighting). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.

Engine cranks normally attempting to start. When failed to start, the 'start' button is pushed to stop the attempt. Tried again. Took 3 attempts to finally start. Once started the engine revs at high rpm's. When put in 'd' the car lurches and accelerates without pushing gas pedal. If the car is turned off after starting and restarted, fast acceleration is eliminated. Car has ultimately started, but the fear is it will get worse and ultimately fail to start stranding the driver. Car runs perfectly in normal driving on the highway. This has occurred almost daily for 90 days. Hyundai service: taken to hyundai on two occasions. They say they could not duplicate problem and no computer error codes generated. Stumped! Can do nothing if problem can't be duplicated by service tech! Keeping quiet? New condition 4/26/18! Car has shut down twice at a stop light, 4/26 and 4/29. Fear of shutting down while in traffic as reported in user forums. Hyundai user forums: dozens of owners disclose that the problem is widespread across years and models. Report that hyundai denies there is an issue with problematic starting and stalling at low speeds and high speeds! Owners report fear of serious accident if the car stalls on the highway, entering traffic or making turns across traffic.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle lost power and restarted after one attempt. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer advised the contact that there were no recalls and a case was opened. The failure mileage and vin were unknown.

Brake pedal one 2 occasions while applying the brake went all the way to the floor with very diminished stopping power the first time was on the highway a few months ago and the second time this happened was december 31 2017 i drove the car home and did not drive it till tuesday, jan 2nd, 2018 when it drove it slowly to the dealer on the way there the pedal got firmer but still spongy not normal the dealer can't find the problem and will not help me i'm afraid to drive the car

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. The contact had to depress the brake pedal excessively in order to stop the vehicle. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to suburban hyundai (1814 maplelawn dr, troy, mi) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist since the master cylinder was not part of a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Background: am original owner of this 2010 hyundai genesis that was purchased july 31, 2010 and that currently has less than 35,000 miles on it. Issue: unexpectedly, the brakes became "squishy" (i.E. Brake pedal depressed a long distance before engaging brakes). Advised by hyundai dealer that it is a faulty hecu unit and needs to be replaced for $3,800. Note: the brake fluid was replaced in april 2013 and the hecu unit was supposedly inspected in january 2014. I believe these were done in response to prior recalls. That said, upon some further reading on the internet, i am under the impression that when this problem was previously identified for recall, the recall should have resulted in my hecu unit being replaced, not just inspected. I intend to raise this issue with the hyundai dealer and, hopefully, hyundai will stand behind the replacement of the hecu unit without charging me.

There is a split across my dash were the air big is i call the main office and i was told that they will not fix it.My concern is my family safety

When applying pressure to my brake petal, the car did not stop. I almost was involved in a few rear end collisons. It was very scary! Dealership checked the brakes and nothing is wrong. I need to do a master cylinder change. Unfortunately, my car is no longer under warranty. Currently, it has 53,000 miles only. No recall for my vehicle.

Partial loss of braking - while traveling down the highway at 45 mph the vehicles in front of me abruptly slowed down requiring me to quickly apply my brakes. Upon application of my brakes, i started to slow down and then the brake pedal suddenly released, providing limited braking. I continued to push the brake pedal towards the floor and the vehicle came to a stop but it required a longer stopping distance than normal.*bf updated 9/28/18*jb

The air bag sensor indicator is on and it won't go off. The dealership at hyundai west broad st is telling me that it needs a pods ecu, which cost 3,000.00 and i told them their is a recall on the genesis coupe/2010 for the same issue and why isn't this cover by hyundai for the genesis sedan? They will not acknowledge this nor will they call hyundai and ask why isn't this same defect cover for the sedan just like it is for the genesis coupe? West broad hyundai dealership in richmond, va. Wants to charged me $3,500.00 to fix this problem on my car so it will pass state inspection.

I bought the car used with 32,500 miles. From day 1 there was a grind going into 5th gear. This was a known problem, but no tsb or recall was ever sent out about it. Just a tsb to change the fluid . At 82,000 miles the 5th gear synchro broke. I had to buy a used transmission from the junk yard and had it installed for $820 total including the transmission, labor and fluid. Why would they claim they have a 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty, when it only covers the first owner. And why would they know about the 5th gear grind and not do anything about it.

Tl* the contact owned a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. While driving 55 mph over a railroad track, the vehicle drove over a ditch, went airborne, and landed on the opposite side of the road. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a culvert pipe and the vehicle rolled 3-5 times. Only the front driver's air bag deployed. The overhead and side air bags did not deploy in the vehicle. The contact sustained lacerations and broken bones on the face and body that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard, but was not repaired. The vehicle was destroyed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 88,000.

Breaks failed. Taking exit from highway and the car wouldn't stop as the breaks would work. Was very fortunate to have found gap between two lanes and avoided a major accident. Dealer confirmed the breaks failed and there have been numerous break failures reported with genessis. Had recently got breaks checked and was told 'every thing is fine'. Question is why didn't hyundai do a recall and proactively replace my break system? One whole day of suspense about how much it will cost me... And i was told hyundai would cover the cost of replacement as it was a known problem. Dealer called it 'goodwill warranty'.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. While attempting to accelerate from a stop light, the vehicle went into idle mode. After the third attempt of depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle accelerated rapidly. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to round rock auto group (2301 n interstate 35, frontage rd #300, round rock, tx, 78664 855 996-3127) where the pedal assembly dash accelerator was replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,031. *tr..*bf *dt*jb

The tmps light will not go off. West broad hyundai dealership in richmond, va. Wants to charge me to fix the problem but not knowing why it's happening. They have reset it bu tit keeps coming back on.

Brakes are spongy. 63000 miles. Brake pads are at 70% on the back and 50% on the front. Brake fluid level is ok. When using the brake pedal it seems to come to a stop and then i am able to push down more. Pushing down more is what is required to stop thevehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. While depressing the brake pedal and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact was able to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic electronic control unit failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Attempted to reduce speed to enter neighborhood street and brake pedal went to floor. Continued pressure stopped the vehicle. Brakes could be pumped up and continued to stop the vehicle, but with seriously degraded braking capability. An accident waiting to happen.

I was driving my vehicle turning on to a main street from a highway. Without warning the car entered limp mode. I did not have any engine response and the car would not do more than about 10 miles an hour. I pulled off the road and restarted the car. I was able to get the car to the dealership. Dealership says car has codes for faulty throttle position sensor and it need to be replaced. I have seen other people with a similar issue.

As i was driving, the ground became unleveled, i tried to slow down my speed and i experienced brake failure. My brake pedal sunk down to the floor before my car would come to a complete stop. For two months my car has been in and out of hyundai dealerships trying to figure out the issue, all the while charging me for test, and no one can correct this issue. It's now 2 1/2 months and i'm still without my car. I need for hyundai to be held accountable. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. While driving 25 mph, the brakes malfunctioned. The contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 16,000.

Pulling right when braking. Left front caliper 90 degrees, right front caliper 165 degrees. Diagnosis was abs pump corrosion. Hyundai had a recall in 2014 on the genesis sedan for exact situation but have advised that there are no recalls on the coupe.

The brakes malfunctioned while driving on a local road. Stepped on the brake pedal, felt normal at first, then pedal gave way almost to the floor and braking power was very little. Pumping the brake pedal recovered some brake power only temporarily. Pulled over and shut down the car. About an hour later, restarted the car and the brakes were still poor. Brought the car to the dealer who could not work on it until the next day. The next day the dealer found no problems with the brakes and i refused to take back the car until something was done. The dealer kept the car about six weeks and road tested it almost every day but could not provoke the problem to return. I asked the dealer to replace any or all parts that could be the cause of the problem. The dealer refused to do such a thing and also stated that there was no way for hyundai to diagnose the trouble. They relied on only the electronic sensors and since there were no fault codes they would not take any liability to replace parts on a presumptive basis. I considered the car untrustworthy and said it should not be driven. I traded the car in at the same dealer for another car with a different braking system design. *tr

Headlights flicker on and off when using turn signals. They will go off for as long as two seconds and then come back on. Very unsafe when driving at night. This will happen when the vehicle is in motion and also when on stopped position waiting to make turn.

This car has been a headache since it went out of warranty (ironically). First it was the car wouldn't start due to an electrical problem between the alarm system and key fob. The starter was the next to go. Most recently the fuel pump went literally while i was driving the car. Fortunate i was able to make my way off the road and avoided collusion and possible physical injury. There were no warnings that there were any issues with the car, no dashboard warnings, no usual performance. The car was fine one second and completely dead the next. After incurring $300 in towing charges, first to my local mechanic who was unable to diagnose the problem because his computer couldn't read the hyundai codes, then to the hyundai dealership. Hyundai claims it is the fuel pump. I'll remain skeptical until they confirm the car is fully functional. I find it impossible to comprehend how a 6 year old vehicle that is impeccably maintained should have the degree of problems i have experienced over the past couple of years. Needless to say, i will not be keeping the car for long and will not be continuing my relationship with hyundai. Unfortunate since i have been a hyundai owner since 2001.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. The contact stated that while driving at any speed during night, when using the turning signals the head lights turned off intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired but the failure recurred. The contact was unaware of what was replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

While driving on highway i-10 w was driving at 65 mph, had to brake to slow down to about 10 mph behind traffic that was slowing down and came to complete halt with foot on brake. When traffic cleared, on releasing brake and trying to accelerate again the car would not engage in any gear. Brought the car to park position and turned off engine and tried to restart the car, the car would continue to be on starter mode even though the engine had started. After several tries the car restarted but the gear would not engage. Moved the shift to shiftronic mode but the car would still not engage in any gear. Had to call in a tow company and wait in the car for over 30 minutes of harrowing experience in an unsafe situation. Car was towed to the dealership. They have been unable to replicate the problem. This is the 4 instance when the car has stalled in the middle of traffic in a highly unsafe situation. The car dealers response has been unsatisfactory. Wonder if they have contacted the manufacturer about this highly unsafe failure in the car. Number of people are on the road with risk of a serious accident.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer. The mechanic was unable to locate the failure. The failure recurred three days later. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer for a second time. The vehicle was in the process of being diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. The contact stated that approximatley 80% of the vehicle's brakes failed while driving approximately 50 mph. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was not diagnosed. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired according to nhtsa campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes) in february of 2015. The vehicle was not reapired. The manufacturer was notfied of the failure. The failure mielage was approximately 63,000.

6-speed manual transmission hard to get into some gears. Grinding noise is heard on upshift from 2nd to 3rd and downshift from 6th to 5th. This is the second transmission the dealer installed. The original one had similar issues when the car was less than a year old and it was replaced by the dealer under warranty.

Hello nhtsa administrator, i bought a new hyundai genesis in march 2010. Around august 2010, i had a small fender bender in the parking lot. To keep warranty intact on the car, hyundai insisted that the wiring harness on the car be replaced, which i did for approximately $5000. Since then, i have had multiple electronic items go bad in the car. I replaced some of these at my own expense. But the problem has gotten worse with some expensive electronic components going bad over the last 2 years. In normal circumstances, these components should not go bad over the life of the car, and certainly not at a frequency that they have failed in my car. I attribute these failures to bad/defective job done during wiring harness replacement. But hyundai has refused to accept responsibility since the car is out of warranty. Below is a list of the bad components, approximate date of the component going bad, whether it is replaced/fixed and approximate expense to fix them 1. Telescopic steering wheel--2015--repaired as part of warranty 2. Power switch assembly driver's seat--jan 2016--$236.19--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 3. Jog dial assembly--oct 2016--$1031.70--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 4. Front cabin dome light assembly--feb 2017--$376.91--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 5. Smart cruise control--mar 2017--not replaced--dealership gave me a quote of ~$4500 to replace 6. Passenger cabin dome light assembly--aug 2017--not replaced--$4500 estimate to replace 7. Multi disc cd player--feb 2018--not replaced--$1000 estimate to replace i would like nhtsa to investigate hyundai for this matter and force them to pay for repairs. As a consumer, i feed cheated and being forced to double pay for repairs - once for the wiring harness replacement and now for all problems attributed to it. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. While driving, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a ditch. The vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic electronic control unit needed to be replaced. The passenger fender needed to be repaired and the front passenger tire needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

Airbag i brought my car in to have the airbag and dash checked by hyundai dealer in west palm beach florida. The dash around my airbag has cracked in a perfect line at the air bag location photo attached. They refused to check the airbag. However they contacted hyundai and asked for dash replacement. Hyundai was willing to pay for the dash part but not any labor to install new dash or to check my airbag to make sure it will not go off. I am asking for help to get my airbag checked and also have the dash removed and replaced by hyundai. I am very concerned that this passenger airbag is affected by the recall. I need this checked out before an insistent happens. Please help. They also refused to put anything in writing. Phone case number 8648772.

As i was driving down a major street traveling around 35 mph, the car in front of me began to stop. As i began to apply the brakes, my car's pedal went to the floor. I pumped the brakes a few times and began to get some pressure, but i was not able to stop in time before rear ending the car in front of me. I never knew what the issue was and i couldn't get the problem to duplicate, but the brake pedal was soft since that day. I have changed the pads, and rotors, so those are not the issue. This week, my fuel pump went out and i took the car to the mechanic for that issue. My mechanic informed me that the car needed an abs pump. The dealers are well aware of the issue because when we checked the price of the part ($2600), the parts agent immediately knew the problem. There are numerous complaints online about the exact same issue. This is truly a safety issue for these cars. There are many complaints online with the same problem!!!!!!!

Transmission grinding/syncro issues, 2nd, 3rd, 5th gear grind, gear lockout, gear rejection(intermittent daily occurrence with no pattern), can causing loos of control of the vehicle, inability to safely accelerate etc. Tech drove the car for 10miles and couldn't replicate, would not perform any more tests. Common issue on cars made after 2009 up until 2013, manufacturing defect. See included forum link an youtube video describing the issue.

I have visit the hyundai dealer for several times my car is only 27500 miles the power seat would not back up, i enter the car with extreme difficulty, i have to recline the seat to seat in the car in a very uncomfortable position, not to mention my right knee touching the dashboard, is been more than 5 times, hoping to never have a small accident because if the air back activates in the incident i won't be writing it in a future. Please help! It can happen any time when adjusting your car seat, the only way ito fix the problem is visiting the dealer for warranty service. Please help!

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. While driving 40 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and took a greater distance to stop the vehicle. The contact had to depress the brake pedal multiple times in order to get the vehicle to stop. The vehcile was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu) needed to be replaced. The vehcile was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The failure mileage was 38,000.

I was driving on spring cypress rd (spring, tx) approaching state highway 249 at 30 mph, i stepped on the brakes at the intersection and the pedal went all the way down to the floor. If i didn't start pumping the brakes, i would have rear ended car on front of me. If this incident had happened while i was on the sh249 freeway, i wouldn't be here filing this report. I was able to drive slowly to the hyundai dealer using side roads.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. The contact reviewed a service campaign consent letter from the manufacturer, which indicated that the hecu was to be serviced and replaced for all genesis vehicles. When the contact called the manufacturer, they specified that the genesis coupe was not included in that manufacturer campaign. The contact stated that there was a random progressing failure in which the brake pedal was applied, but was slow to respond. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop. The mechanic drained the brakes, replaced the brake pads, and serviced the brake system. The dealer was notified of the brake system failure and indicated that the independent repair shop had not completed the repair correctly. The contact notified the repair shop and was informed that the repair was completed correctly. The manufacturer refused to service the hecu system pertaining to the service campaign, so the contact was unable to determine a permanent remedy. The vehicle was parked due to the failure. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 13v113000 (exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic) and 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 66,500.

Brake pedal goes to the floor without much effort when at a full stop or in motion. Little to no actual braking occurs until reaching the full travel of the pedal. This is very dangerous and the dealership (burns hyundai of marlton nj) acknowledged it is the hydraulic control unit, but refuses to replace under the 2013 recall of the unit. They quoted me at $3,024.50.

My 2010 hyundai genesis was recalled for a defective faulty break switch in 2014 and the required service was performed 7/30/15. The following day i engaged the cruise control at 75 mph but almost rear ended the car in front of me because the integrated speed control did not activate. The cruise control also turned completely off at times. I've returned the car twice to remedy the problem and was told they could not find a solution and have requested assistance from hyundai. I waited almost 2 months with no word from hyundai and finally went to the dealership on 9/22/15 and was told they were still waiting for instruction from hyundai and they now have a second car with the same problem. I feel this is very dangerous and want to post this listing because i believe lifes are at stake and owners of these vehicles will more than likely be ticketed for causing accidents and, worse case scenario, be charged with vehicular manslaughter.

I had two prior incidents where partial to complete braking failure occurred previously, but the issue was only temporary (a single stop). This incident persisted for duration of my drive, prompting research into the issue (and discovery of the known abs hecu corrosion issue. I was attempting to slow and make a turn onto a sidestreet on the way to work, when the brake pedal went to the floor with minimal resistance (and limited braking effectiveness). This prompted a panicked pumping of the brakes to eventually stop the vehicle 5-10ft shy of the rear bumper of another car. After carefully testing to ensure i had some braking effectiveness, i finished the short distance to my office, noting that the pedal remained very soft, going to the floor with ease, and having limited success in stopping the vehicle. I shudder to think what would have happened had this issue presented itself at highway speeds. I have already contacted hyundai corporate and dropped my vehicle off with a dealership for recall repair. I am hoping this incident, coupled with my manufacture date (prior to june 1, 2010 cutoff date) will justify a full abs hecu replacement under recall.

Driving about 10 mph on tight curvy country road, brake pedal went to the floor. Pumping the pedal got the car to stop. Dealer said the brake force distribution module failed, allowing brake fluid to simply bypass being sent to the brakes. This is a very dangerous failure mode; it should fail by eliminating abs but still giving full brake force. There was no indication on dash lights that anything had failed.

I was driving on route 81 to harrisburg and heard a loud noise and my engine just shut off. I had to coast over to the side of the road to a safe place. I had to get my car towed and my mechanic inspected the vehicle and advised that the connecting rod inside the engine broke and put a hole in the engine and the oil tank. I had to get the car towed and while it was on the tow truck i saw the oil just pouring out of the bottom of the vehicle. The technician told me that this is very odd for this to break. He said it is most likely a manufacturers defect because this does not just happen. Oil tank was full with oil and the car has been well taken car of. Any other incidents like this one?

The tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) displays erroneous tire pressure readings during cold weather climates despite having the correct psi or adding air to reach an ultimate psi reading. This has been an issue with other models of hyundai vehicles with the tpms feature according to other owners. *tr

When i pressed on the brake pedal, it felt mushy. Completely different from the firm braking the vehicle brakes had exhibited just a few minutes previously. I could feel the brakes trying to engage at the proper brake pedal placement but then i had to continue pressing the pedal because the brakes were not engaging. Only after i continued to apply pressure to the brake pedal toward the end of the pedals range of motion did i finally feel the brakes begin to slow the car. After this first occurrence, since i was over 300 miles from home, i had to anticipate any braking i needed to do. I found that each time i needed to brake, if i pumped the brakes after the first initial pressing of the brake pedal, i could get the brake pedal to build up pressure so i would have close to the same braking 'feel' that i had before this problem began. I returned home on saturday. I did not drive the car on sunday. On monday, i took the genesis to the hyundai dealership. After almost two hours, they said they had identified the problem as the master cylinder. I had the master cylinder replaced on tuesday. There was almost no change in the mushiness of the brake pedal. After searching the internet for possible causes i discovered hyundai has had considerable complaints about fading and mushy brakes on their genesis line of vehicles. It seems it all stems from the hydraulic electronic control unit module. So, with hyundai knowing this, why did the service department of the abilene, tx dealership recommend a master cylinder replacement when, in my estimation, the first culprit should have been the abs module? I discovered this persistent issue with the genesis vehicle on wednesday, i have an appointment with the abilene tx hyundai dealership on thursday. I'll see how they respond. *tr

The navigational/radio/antenna system completely shutdown without any power ranging from 2hrs to a full day. I also have researched that other 2010s of this make & model has experienced the same electrical issue just as well. *tr

When driving the vehicle, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and my brakes went totally out. It is a miracle there wasn't a crash with someone killed. There was a recall for this same issue and my recall was done last december but obviously the damage was already done and it did not fix my car. I called that dealership back today and they advised me that because the recall had been done and my car is out of warranty, that everything will be at my expense to repair. I will also have to pay to have it towed to be repaired. Hyundai should be paying for the towing, repair, and loaner vehicle as this was a major safety issue that they have failed to take care of. *tr

I began having this issue 10 days ago with my 2010 genesis coupe. The concern i had was not only was the interior flickering but it resulted in my running night brake lights not working. I took the car to the dealer i'm at 62k miles just out of warranty. They ran diagnostic and thought it was a lose bracing for the wires. I picked it up and the issue began again. I took it in 4 days ago they then said it was a fuse switch issue and replaced it but the issue continued. They then said it may be a fuse box issue couple of hundred $$ or worst case a main issue with total wiring from internal fuse box and fuse box in the engine area which could run $2k! But no definite answer to what was causing this. The hyundai representative said they even happen to have a senior electric engineer on location that day and he couldn't pinpoint exactly the problem. *tr

When using turn signals, headlights flicker on and off. Well documented on youtube; http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=1irlov-bkdu & hyundai genesis forum; http://genesisowners.Com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.Php?T=12504 high safety risk during night time driving. *tr

I was traveling on highway roads and made lane change. Upon activating the turn signal, the headlights turn off and remained off until the turn signal was deactivated. This has occurred intermittently since. This seems to be very dangerous for night driving on poorly lit roads. *tr

Brakes completely failed as i entered nj turnpike. No braking power was restored. Drove in lowest gear and used emergency brake. Second incident with this car in 6 weeks. *tr

While driving the car, the car speeds up on its own without me pushing the accelerator. The car also has rev hang and the rpms rise by its self and stays their. Usually between 6500rpm. I have to press the brake in order for the rpms to drop so its doesn't blow the motor. *tr

Brakes failed - so master cylinder was replaced by dealer but brakes are still a bit spongy. Abs is not working quite right. Brake fluid had already been replaced 6 months earlier under recall, but brake control unit was not replaced. I am concerned that control unit should have been replaced and by other reports it seems hyundai is very reluctant to pay for that. Car is still under warranty. *tr

On 7/1/2014 i was driving at approximately 35 mph when i put my foot on the brake of my 2010 hyundai genesis and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor of the car and the car did not stop. The next day i phoned hyundai about the incident and asked if i could bring the car in for a brake inspection. I was told do to 4th of july holiday they would not be able to look at the car. Since they would not make this a priority i took the car to my local mechanic for inspection on 7/3/14. The local mechanic was not able to determine the cause. Later that day the car had begun stopping as needed with no cause identified so i went back to normal driving but maintained feeling uncomfortable. I had forgotten that previously i had taken my car to hyundai service to have a safety recall performed on 1/27/2014 (recall #114) that specifically related this this as a possibility. The service involved replacing the brake fluid due to having too low of a boiling temperature leading to eventual corrosion of the hecu anti-lock braking component resulting in reduced stopping ability or complete failure of braking power which is what occurred. On 8/13/2014 once again i went to put my foot on the brake while driving and again my foot went straight to the floor and was unable to stop the vehicle resulting in me almost hitting another car in my work parking lot. I immediately took the car to the dealer insisting they perform a brake inspection. They determined after a few days that it was the hecu unit that needed replacement and proposed charging me $3500 for the repair later reducing that to $2500 when i complained that my vehicle had relatively low mileage and complete brake failure was unacceptable and their responsibility. The cost of repair and other expenses incurred (rental car) is completely hyundai's responsibility since lose of braking relates directly to safety recall #114. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. While driving approximately 50 mph, the brake pedal failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed. The emergency brake had to be applied in order to stop the vehicle. The dealer stated that the brake fluid was contaminated and the entire brake system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The vin was excluded from nhtsa campaign number: 13v489000 (service brakes, hydraulics). The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

I have complained at least 2 or 3 times concerning a sudden acceleration from the stop position. The engine revs up and the car takes off without my doing it. I've reported this in 2014, and 2016 - now i see there's a recall for the transmission but my car isn't one of them? Really...

1) almost hit from oncoming traffic at a stop light, when i was attempting to make a left hand turn. The signal turned yellow so i tried to turn left before i realized the oncoming car was going to run the light. I took my foot off the brake and hit the gas to make a quick turn to avoid the oncoming car. The car stalled for a second as i pressed the gas into the turn, then kicked into full power, screeching the tires. I thought this was a fluke but his same problem of "stalling" for a few seconds when depressing the brake and hitting the gas at takeoff keeps happening intermittently. This is a dangerous issue. When needing to accelerate quickly from a stop, this car has a seconds gap from hitting the gas to the car moving. I've almost been hit twice because of it. 2) the headlights switch off intermittently when using the turn signals to change lanes or turn. They flash oncoming drivers as i click down to turn them on before the turn, or when the turn signal clicks back after the turn. This problem happens almost every time i drive the vehicle with the headlights on. The lights have shut off completely for about 5 seconds while i was driving down the freeway, impairing my ability to see at night. I had to immediately pull over on the freeway in an unsafe location to turn the lights off, then turn them back on to clear the problem. 3) my vehicle had the brake switch replaced from the 2013 recall. However, pressing the brake still does not shut off the cruise control when driving down the freeway. I have to manually turn it off from the button on the steering wheel. I love this car, but i'm afraid to drive my children in it if these problems are not addressed. This vehicle is unsafe and it is going to kill or seriously injure people. Please investigate these mechanical problems and issue the appropriate recalls. *tr

The brake lights on the 2010 hyundai genesis (and possibly other years/models hyundai vehicles) have various problems with the brake lights failing to work. This is very dangerous not only to the hyundai genesis driver, but also for any driver following behind the car. There has been various factory recalls for the 2010 hyundai genesis brakes including one that causes the brake lights not to work due to a brake switch failure: http://www.Cars.Com/hyundai/genesis/2010/recalls however the particular problem my car and other genesis owners have reported does not have a factory recall for it, even though it poses the some of the same safety issues that the brake switch factory recall had. Http://genesisowners.Com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.Php?T=3269 the root cause is diode that fails which cause the brake lights not to work. (this is different that the brake switch factory recall.) i don't know how many months i drove without having brake lights. My state inspection was in january 2014. A driver that was behind my car informed me my brake lights didn't work in may 2014. I had my car towed to the dealer due to the danger of driving when the car's brake lights don't work. Apparently hyundai knows about the issue (according to the above link) : technical service bulletin 09-be-023, stop lamp z01 diode inspection procedure, appears to describe the location and procedure for troubleshooting of the diode but describes the issue as " . . . Vehicles may experience the stop lamps blinking on and off even when brakes are not applied." why is there no factory recall for this problem? It can cause serious accidents which could lead to fatalities. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the vehicle failed to start on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for the failure. The dealer replaced the battery, the key fob, the smart key module and the ignition lock module however, the failure remedy failed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 83,000 and the current mileage was 84,700.

Hyundai is having a real issue with their fuel pumps. My car is currently in the shop for its 3rd fuel pump at 120k miles. The safety issue is how the pump goes out with no indication of an issue from the car at all. This time i was parked at a gas station, however the 2nd incident is more concerning. Then, i was traveling on the highway at approx. 70-75 mph. Without warning, the engine stopped and of course so all of the other controls from the engine. Because i had a full loss of power, i was lucky that there were no cars in the inside lane and i could move over in time to get to the side shoulder. I literally coasted to the shoulder at 20 mph. If i hadn't been able to get to the shoulder, i would have been stuck in the middle of a 4 lane highway with no way to move the car.

Car wouldn't shift into 1st gear. It just made a grinding noise. Finally it went into gear but kept making a noise when in 1st gear. *tr

Took my 2010 genesis in for service...Brake stop lights were not working. Replaced defective switch. Took my same car in for state inspection on september 9, 2014, brake lights not working again. Replaced defective switch myself because of 2 hour drive to dealer and the safety issue involved with driving vehicle. Something needs to be done! These switches should not fail this often.... This is a very serious safety issue. We don't know how long this switch was not working since there is no way to tell when you are driving the vehicle... Thanks!

As i was exiting the highway, the brakes went almost all the way to the floor. The rest of the trip i needed to pump the brakes to enable me to stop. I took it the hyundai dealer the next day and they said it there was a recall for the abs module. I had the dot4 fluid recall done on december 3rd 2013 (up until then i had never had a brake issue) and apparently the abs module recall came out dec 20, 2013. The dealer replaced the module under warranty and now the car brakes fine. I just wanted to document the failure. *tr

The approximate failure mileage was 62,000. *tr

I was traveling approximately around 45mph when i pressed on the brake to stop at a intersection. However the car had other plans and didn't stop as desired due to the brake pedal going to the floor! Thankfully, no traffic was in the oncoming lane and the turn lane for me just turned green. I was able to go around the car ahead of me and make the turn without incident. I then proceeded to limp the car over to the local hyundai dealership here in jacksonville, fl. They diagnosed it as a bad abs module for the brakes. My 3rd party warranty company wouldn't repair the car due to no check engine light coming on from this brake failure. Key hyundai repaired the car at no additional cost to me even with my car having 63k miles on it. Another thing to note is that they had just changed out the brake fluid due to a tsb a few months prior of which the old fluid could cause corrosion on the brake system from what i understand. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. The contact stated that while driving 80 mph, the steering seized and the engine rpms increased greatly. The contact also mentioned that the traction warning light illuminated intermittently.

The failure mileage was 78,758.

I was turning into the driveway of a shopping center when i was rear-ended by another car. The force of the collision caused both active headrests to launch. The force of the active headrest hitting the back of my head caused a concussion and for two days a loss of all memories going back approximately 4 years. I was hospitalized and stayed one night. Most of my memories have returned but i have absolutely no memory of the day of the accident pre, during, or post accident. I am home now but cannot drive for at least two weeks and i am not allowed to travel on business because of caution about the accident. These headrests are dangerous. Any marginal protection they might provide is not worth the suffering of a concussion and the loss of memory. It could have been worse. What if i had not been able to recover my memory or worse yet, not able to create new memories. For the first day i was in the hospital, i could not remember a single thing i was told no matter how many times i was told. I am being told by hyundai that they cannot replace the active headrests with normal headrests. That is very frightening. I don't want those things in my car. I learned through experience how dangerous they are. *tr

Several months ago when i attempted to brake, the pedal went down to the floor. However, upon stopping the car and restarting the engine, the car appeared to be normal. I called the dealer and reported the problem and was told by the service writer that if it was not "doing it further" and there were no warning lights there was no point in bringing the car in. Today, i experienced a total brake failure; this time i was in a parking lot and the pedal went all the way to the floor and i was only able to stop the car by letting it reduce to coasting speed and shifting into "park". As i was only a few blocks from my house, i was able to limp home, pumping the brake to stop. My husband called the dealership when i got home and was told to bring it over. The dealership is about 4 miles from our house, my husband drove very slowly and found that upon pressing the brake pedal there was minimal braking and then complete fade out of the brakes. He used the parking brake to stop the car when necessary. When the car was examined at the dealership they reported to my husband that the abs module had failed and needed to be replaced. (it is important to note that this failure took place without warning and without any indicator lights, either the abs light or the brake light, indicating that there was a problem.) before filing this complaint, i looked online and found many, many complaints of the exact same problem. Why hasn't nhtsa ordered an investigation or recall? *tr

The 2010 hyundai genesis coupe has been defective for a few months now. It will abruptly shift from 3rd to 1st and from 5th to 3rd by itself. It will also not accelerate when you need it to. I was recently almost involved in accident because of the shifting issues. I have contacted hyundai several times and they refuse to assist me. What are they waiting for, me to die in accident or something?? I want something done very soon or i will get legal counsel and they can speak with them. *tr

I have a 2010 hyundai genesis 3.8 coupe 6-speed automatic with paddle and sport shift. I have had an ongoing issue with the vehicle for several months now not shifting properly. Sometimes it wont shift out of 1st gear and when it does it will unknowingly downshift and get stuck in a gear. Since the issue began, i have received several speeding tickets and had near death experiences due to the shifting. Sometimes it will increase and decrease speeds and the rpms will raise sometimes up to 6000 before it will shift or i have to place the car in park and turn off the ignition for the shifting to begin working properly again. I have to ask myself everyday if i am willing to risk my life for the issue because i have had so many near death experiences with this. It definitely needs to be looked into!!! *tr

Took my car in for servicing and asked them to check my air conditioning unit. No cool air from the system. The technician said a piece of glass and wire resembling part of a tire retread had somehow passed through the grill and damaged the condenser. Thus, freon leaked out over time resulting in lack of cool air. The service clerk said he had heard that this had occurred in the past with other hyundai genesis. Interesting how there is no damage to the front end of the car or the grill. Does not sound feasible that a piece of glass (2 inches by 1 inch with quarter inch thickness) and wire (7 inches) could sneak through grill and hit with velocity to damage a condenser with no damage to the grill. Are grill slats too wide or is there a lack of under carriage protection? The dealership kept the glass and wire and suggested that i contact my insurance company as this estimated $1000 item was not covered by the hyundai 5 year, 60 thousand mile warranty. *tr

Total brake failure on 5/10/2013 and 5/11/2013. *tr

On 4/18/13 at 2125 hours, unit 1 was traveling eastbound in lane two of northern avenue approaching north 59th avenue. Unit 2 was in lane two of eastbound west northern avenue stopped for a red light at the intersection with north 59th avenue. Unit 2, a bus, was parked in bus pull out just east of north 59th avenue on west northern avenue with the driver of the bus not in driver seat but standing in bus. According to driver of unit 1, while unit 1 was slowing to stop behind unit 2 the engine of unit 1 began racing and did not stop even as the driver of unit 1 pressed the brakes. Unit 1 struck unit 2 in the rear at least twice pushing unit 2 into intersection. Unit 2 driver stated after being hit at least twice by unit 1, unit 2 crossed intersection and stopped in front of the bus to get out of the way of unit 1. Unit 1 also crossed the intersection of north 59th avenue and unit 1 struck rear end of unit 3. Driver side passenger of unit 1 was treated by glendale fire lt157/b-shift and transported to hospital by southwest ambulance b-shift on incident no. 13-121969 and found to have fractured left humeral (elbow) by doctor f conjursi, medical record 1173763. Driver of unit 1 was issued citation no. 862591 for ars 28-701.A and ars 28-3151.A.

It does not shift properly causing it to decrease or increase speed without pressing the gas pedal. The problem also causes the vehicle to exceed recommended rpm level which causes the vehicle to get stuck in one gear and makes it difficult to stop the vehicle. This issue has caused instances where i have had to swerve off the road to avoid collision. *tr

This vehicle has a feature where the door mirrors angle down when the car goes into reverse, and then comes back to normal viewing position when you change to any other gear (e.G. Park, drive). Intermittently, one mirror (driver or passenger) does not come back up. The driver will not likely notice the mirror not returning to it normal viewing position until he uses the mirror again, like when he changes lanes. I have had this happened almost a dozen times to me. I have almost side swiped other drivers on three occasions. I have been to the dealership nine times so far, but they have not fixed it. It is hard to diagnose because it doesn't happen often. Many other hyundai genesis owners have seen this issue. Http://www.Genesisowners.Com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.Php?T=10483. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle erroneously downshifted and dramatically reduced vehicle speed. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was found that the transmission control module had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the manufacturer's recall. The failure mileage was 56,000. The vin was not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle by engaging the push-to-start button, the vehicle erroneously accelerated. The contact was not applying the brakes at the time nor was the vehicle shifted into drive. The contact crashed into a glass garage door. The contact sustained minor cuts and bruises from the impact. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileages were 63,510.

We just recently purchased this car. The headlights are more like spot lights instead of flood. At night, the low beam bulbs direct a light down low, and there's a horizon above them, which is dark. It's a horizontal line ahead of you. When you start down a hill, towards the bottom, the dark area completely covers the road ahead. You cannot see anything in front and above you, like the road climbing in front of you. Also, that horizontal dark line moves up and down with the bumps in the road, and almost brings on motion sickness. If we get in a hilly area, that could become possible. The dealer won't adjust the lights higher, because they're in spec, now. This is dangerous, and should be addressed. *js

In april 14 2012 around 2am nj atco i was rear end from behind about 40mph, i was accompany by my cousin he sat on the passenger side. Most of the damage was done on his side.

Is there any way can i sue the car company or the manufacture of the airbag for failure to deploy. *tr

While driving my 2010 hyundai genesis coupe 3.8l track model, i experience severe problems with the transmission. When shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear whenever the temperature is below 30 degrees fahrenheit the transmission grinds going into gear. Hyundai usa had a tsb about it, and the transmission fluid was changed under warranty. A week later the problem is still occurring. Hyundai has not been helpful in fixing the problem whatsoever since. When it is very cold, the transmission will not allow me to shift into second gear at all, it'll grind and make noise and block me from shifting. When this happened, i had to quickly depress the clutch and let the car roll back down to a stop. There was a lot of traffic this day and i was almost involved in a collision because of this problem. When approaching highway speeds and shifting into 5th gear, the transmission grinds again. This is usually around 50mph and at around 2600-3000rpms. I have to force the shifter into the 5th gear slot. Should the transmission block me from shifting into 5th, as it does sometimes from 1st-2nd gear, this will certainly result in an accident. Again, hyundai motor usa is not being helpful at resolving this issue. Since the transmission fluid change, hyundai will not approve any other warranty related work. *kb

2010 hyundai genesis. Consumer states brake/ accelerator issues with vehicle *tgw the consumer stated six to eight months ago, he began to experience a troubling problem with the brake /accelerator, which manifested itself by frequently causing the vehicle to jump ahead or jerk forward when shifting his foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal usually when intending to come to a stop. At times, the tendency for the vehicle to continue to move forward required an immediate strong braking effort to overcome that tendency and to actually stop the vehicle. The consumer stated he had only experienced the problem, while in forward gear. *jb

While the car is warmed up and at operating temperature, the rpms will "hang" (hover around 2500 rpms) for 3-5 seconds before returning to idle. *tr

Trying to shift into any gear during cold climates is very difficult and sometimes impossible on the first attempt. Multiple gears grind when going into gear specifically 5th and 6th gear, occasionally 3rd. I took it to a hyundai dealership to get fixed and they said there was nothing wrong with it. This is a well known problem among the genesis coupe community and hyundai refuses to acknowledge they have a problem. *tr

Vehicle steering wheel has continued to make a loud clicking/clunking noise during turning, primarily counter clockwise. Dealership has replaced clockspring (1st visit), lubricated steering components(2nd visit) and has now denied a "problem at all" per their district parts and services manager. No one is unable to come to a resolution as to why this noise is occurring, or what it causing it to occur to be able to determine if it is creating a driving hazard on the road or not. They are also unable to demonstrate to me that it doesn't pose a driving hazard. Due to the noises the steering wheel makes, i am uneasy driving the vehicle in fear of losing complete steering ability in the vehicle. Dealership, district manager, and consumer relations have been unable to assist in determining if this is a safety hazard, or poor manufacturing. *tr

Car will not accelerate properly in 1st & 2nd gear and tends to want to stall when reaching a certain rpm; car will not go beyond 40 mph; check engine light comes on; unable to determine when the defect is about to occur making the car unreliable and unsafe to drive; defect occurs will vehicle is in mid-operation while driving on road regardless of speed. Defect(s) have resulted in several near collision experiences, since cars behind vehicle have almost rear-ended vehicle as they did not expect the car to decelerate with no brake light indication of the vehicle slowing down and is therefore a danger to drive. Driver unable to safely merge with traffic on major highways as the vehicle does not accelerate properly and will not go faster than 40 mph, making it impossible to merge seamlessly with traffic thereby placing driver and drivers of other vehicles in danger and safety risk. Driver unable to use side-roads as an alternate measure, as car does not accelerate properly and tends to want to stall when pulling off in 1st and 2nd gear resulting in cars behind vehicle almost rear-ending vehicle. Three attempts have already been made to repair the defect, yet defect continues to occur. *tr

While driving my 2010 hyundai genesis sedan i began to feel dizzy and light headed. My heart began to race and my hands became numb and tingly. This also happened briefly yesterday ( 8/1/11 ). Upon exiting the vehicle, there was a very strong smell of gasoline. A friend drove me to the er where i described my symptoms to the doctor on duty. After drawing my blood, it was determined that my co - carbon monoixde, level was higher than normal - 3 times normal. I had been in the car for approximately 3 hours today. When i went to drive the vehicle to a hotel, i had to put all windows down and sunroof open because of the gas vapors. I have reported this to hyundai of north america and they are towing the car to dealership to investigate. *kb

The manual transmission in the 2010 hyundai genesis coupe is very problematic. Very often the gear selection is rejected not allowing the operator to up shift or downshift. Second gear and fifth gear are the worse. Grinding often occurs when shifting into 2nd gear or 5th gear. I was merging into traffic on interstate 495 in massachusetts when my car would not shift into 5th gear. The transmission simply started to grind. When merging into traffic at 50-60mph an operator needs to shift from 4th to 5th and i could not. I had to quickly downshift into 4th gear to try and keep accelerating. Any shifting into 5th gear after approximately 3,400 rpms resistance and often grinding will occur. This can very easily cause an accident, expecting to be able to shift into the next higher gear and not being able to do so. I have taken my car to a hyundai dealer and "they could not replicate the problem". I took the service tech for a ride and the car ground into 5th, and i was then told "this is normal operation of the transmission". Hyundai does not want to remedy this problem, and eventually many genesis coupe owners with manual transmissions will be using lemon law protection to have their cars fixed. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. The contact stated that the vehicle intermittently failed to start. The failure occurred on several occasions.

Driver's seat lift motor failed while driving(the seat was not being adjusted at the time) causing it to suddenly drop to the floor. When the seat fell, it landed off of the track and was not secured-the seat was extremely unstable, and could be easily moved forward, sideways, and lifted by hand. Basically the driver's seat was no longer attached to the floor of the car. The part is on order and will be replaced upon arrival at the hyundai dealership in tampa, fl. Courtesy hyundai has the broken part. *tr

I was driving heading southbound on the avenue and the vehicle in front of me braked suddenly and had no time to brake without hitting the vehicle in front of me. I tried to brake the most i could but did not make it so slammed into vehicle in front of me. It was a very hard impact and none of the airbags in the vehicle went off, so due to the whiplash my mouth hit the steering wheel and broke my bottom lip. I had my seat belt on so no other injuries occurred besides my ankle sprain from the jam of the accelerator with the center console. As soon as the crash occurred the car started going into smoke so i was scared and decided to get out of the vehicle before it might blow up. I forced myself out of the vehicle and put the car in the gear of park and no longer than two seconds later that i was out of the car, the car started to head in reverse on its own quickly! I did not even have a chance to close the door since i had just jumped out and went onto oncoming traffic and crossed the median and went across traffic onto the incoming traffic side and did not stop until it hit a wooden fence. This was the first time it had happen that it was on park and went reverse on its own, it was not safe at all! The vehicle was damaged all over and broke the property fence of the public park. Parts are being replaced and the car is in the body shop to be fixed. *tr

I was making a left hand turn onto route 25 in ridge, new york and was struck by a speeding vehicle (i would estimate at 65 mph +) on the left front quadrant. The genesis (my car) was totaled as a result. My complaint is that none of the air bags deployed.

Tilt-telescope steering wheel stopped raising, causing it to both block visibility of part of dashboard and limit egress for drivers. Was repaired twice and failed a total of three times. Dealer has replaced module which was reputed to correct problem, and has conferred with hyundai, but it recurs in three to four weeks. There was no incident to report to police nor was there damage.

Since purchased used from a hyundai dealer in 2011 with just 11,123 miles & full warranty, this vehicle has had "intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, intermittent ability to remove the vehicles shifter from the park position, illumination of the esc'(electronic stability control) indicator lamp in the instrument cluster, intermittent interference with operation of the cruise control feature, or intermittent operation of the stop lamps" as cited in campaign 110 released by hyundai on march 29,2013. I have brought it to the dealers service department on 11 separate occasions, for the above listed issue -to two separate dealers- and while both utilized the hyundai warranty to the fullest extent, to replace everything from my radio, to transmission modules, to wheel cylinders, none of these issues fixed the problem.When i spoke to hyundai last week regarding recall campaign 110, i was assigned a case number, but i received a call the next day that my case was being rejected by the regional office.When i brought it to the dealer for the recall repair this weekend, they insisted that they would have to charge me for the visit, despite my complaint being the one listed in the recall.I feel that hyundai should honor their recall and address this problem in my car at their expense until they rectify the issue cited in the recall, despite the faulty part having been replaced through my factory warranty multiple times, and prior my receiving notice of the recall. Hyundai motor corporation should do what is required to get the car they sold me to be in safe operating condition, and they refuse to do so. *tr

Hyundai genesis 4-door. Purchased 10/2010--have had fourteen incidents where when i press on accelerator, there is no reaction or acceleration. Has happened lots when i pull into intersection, press on accelerator, nothing happens, and i pray i don't get killed by oncoming traffic. Finally, the car begins to move, but next time will i be killed??? Dealership had car for one week and couldn't find anything wrong. There's another complaint on the genesis listing this same problem. Help! On incident dates and mileage questions, i just put a number--this problem has happened since i bought the car last fall. *tr

The hood never fit as tight as it should, flopping a bit over bumps but one day i popped it open and the whole thing slid forward from the passenger side. The two bolts holding to the bracket were not there. Since i could not find them on the garage floor, they must have come off in traffic. Dealership replaced the bolts but it still didn't fix the alignment so i had to take it to a body shop.

Titl - telescopic steering wheel becomes locked in lowest height setting totally blocking all instruments on the dashboard and greatly restricting exit from the car under all types of conditions. Especially a problem for those with limited mobility caused by age, injuries, operations, etc. Hyundai has no fix although the car has been returned to them 5 times. Applies to 2009, 2010, 2011 genesis sedan models. *tr

In my opinion and verified by the dealership where the car was purchase -the genesis has pull to the left under normal driving and when accelerating; this becomes very severe if not immediately corrected this occurs at 25 mph to 45 mph. In my opinion this problem becomes extremely severe to the point of dangerous on roads when wet at speeds of 65 to 73 mph. In my opinion this problem is extremely severe to the point of dangerous at all times when at speeds of 75 to 85 mph. Hyundai had a regional technician look into the problem at the dealership. I was informed by the dealership the same problem occurred with him in the genesis. At that point, they removed things i normally carry in the trunk which weigh about 150 pounds in total -after removing these the hyundai regional technician told the dealership the genesis operates within hyundai specifications; and the dealership communicated to me that the hyundai regional technician recommends not putting anything in the trunk and the genesis will operate to hyundai specifications. I feel the same problem of a severe pull to the left occurs if the trunk has things in it or without; although to a lesser extent if the trunk is empty. In addition the steering seems to be most difficult and a bit loose at the 70mph to 85mph speeds. I feel the genesis may be prone to veer into other lanes or oncoming traffic if continual focused attention is not given to steering (or, struggling with steering at higher speeds). I do not feel that using the trunk of a car is any more than usual use. However, hyundai stands behind their regional report and is completely unresponsive to this matter. I bring this to your attention for my own and others' safety.

When starting the vehicle with foot on the clutch, it lurched forward hitting a parking barrier. Dealer denied mechanical causes. From the time i bought the car, it has accelerated on it's own, going to the max in rpms, at random times. I can take my foot off the gas and it will drive itself. When i try to come to a stop, it will accelerate and i have to counter by hitting the brake. When taken to the dealer, they couldn't "replicate" it. When i argued with the man, he said he would honor the warranty when they could replicate it, though the warranty is now expired. I asked for something in writing, he initialed the work order. Also, the front, under the bumper, is way too low and made of weak material, so when i have to go over any kind of dip, it drags, which has caused the piece to break. This also got up into the fender-well, which caused a hazard with my tires. I am stressed and scared of having a dangerous accident. I am considering trading the car in, but worry for the next owner. I no longer trust hyundai. I feel like my safety is not a priority for the company. They do not search for the cause, just send me back out in a defective vehicle. *tr

On the headlights the up and down arrows embossed into the plastic housing are backwards. This has caused me numerous tries at adjustment and has internally put the projector assembly out of alignment. This is the way the car came from the factory. Both sides are reversed.

Excessive smell of raw fuel from drivers rear tire area, entering into the passenger cabin area. Dealership general manager verified gas smell and fumes with a senior tech. Next regular tech cannot duplicate problem or symptom. *tr

The front suspension on the car is defective. The car handles all bumps horribly and has "bottomed out" quite a number of times, leading to the cracking and breaking off of the bottom of the front bumper/wheel well components, causing a safety concern at highway speeds. Had to pull the car off the road and stop at a home center and patch it with duct tape. Since then i have asked other owners and have found about similar complaints and problems. I am an adult 53 years old and have never driven any car hard and have never had this happen to me with any other vehicle i have driven. I went online and found this problem identified in numerous discussion groups etc. So i am sure the manufacturer is aware. What responsibility does a manufacturer have in a situation such as this? This car was top of the line and cost $35,000.00. *tr

Stability control warning light would come on, car wouldn't shift out of 2nd. Made 3 or 4 trips to the dealer for that to get fixed. Next, with foot on brake, car in park and fob in car, the car would not start. When you hit the start button, it would just go to accessory mode. Two trips to dealer for that one. Waiting on a tow now for 2nd time in two months with the latest issue - while driving, car just dies and won't restart. The first time, was told it was a 'loose connection to fuel pump.' very scary! Thank god i wasn't on the freeway either time this happened! *tt

Small pebble went through the front grill while driving my hyundai genesis 2010 model and damaged condenser costing me $800. This was not covered for warranty and the sad part is this could happen anytime anywhere again. Hyundai genesis has no protection on front grill with huge spacing. This is a design defect that needs to be addressed. I still have no air conditioning in my brand new hyundai genesis. *tr

With electronic stability control engaged, my new hyundai genesis coupe locked the brakes while i was turning into a parking lot. This happened one other time while turning into my driveway. On numerous other occasions the abs has been engaged when making a turn into a slightly raised driveway, but not to the extent that the brakes actually lock; i am able to drive through the braking action. The hyundai field service rep drove my car and was unable to get the brakes to lock, however, on at least four occasions he got the abs to engage while entering a driveway, accompanied by loud grinding noises. He stated that this was "normal operation due to driveway slope angle combined with wheel base and suspension characteristics." he went on to say that he could get every genesis coupe on the lot to do the same thing. Therefore, they felt no repairs were warranted even though i had told them that the brakes had actually locked up, placing me in a dangerous situation. A recent autoblog.Com article noted the severe deficiencies in the hyundai genesis coupe electronic stability control that mirror my own experience. *tr

The 2010 genesis coupe hood is misaligned on the driver side. The gap is about 1/4" wider on the driver side as compared to the passenger side. This allows more air to enter the hood compartment. The wind buffeting effect vibrates the hood and could create an unsafe situation if the hood opens up at high speed. *tr

2010 hyundai genesis 3.8l v6 w/ premium navigation package (touchscreen): bluetooth connects to phone even when accessory power is off. The following was observed with or without the smart key: 1. Every time a door is opened, or the remote is used to lock the door, the bluetooth gets connected; 2. Once inside the car, the bluetooth keeps connected without starting engine or turning accessory power on: 3. Step out of the car, close the door, and wait a minute or so, the blue tooth disconnects. Cell phone becomes useless in these situation unless i: 1. Turn phone's bluetooth off; or 2. Start engine or turn accessory power on to use car's speaker and mic; or 3. Move away from the car, 20' or so; or 4. Step outside, close door and wait for a minute before using the phone -- all appear safety hazard in an emergency. *tr

Transmission is difficult to shift at times mostly into second gear. This can cause a rapid deceleration in traffic and i have seen the vehicle behind me do a nose dive hitting the brakes because my vehicle disrupted traffic flow. Entering fast moving traffic is also a concern for this very reason. Dealer has replaced transmission several times with no change in transmission behavior.

One of my automotive forum member experienced a serious sudden acceleration issue with his hyundai genesis 2 door car, 2010 model. The issue was believed to be caused by vdc(vehicle dynamic control software) that hyundai motor in south korea admitted but refused to do any action against this issue. The hyundai car, genesis, can be accelerated suddenly without pressing the acceleration pedal. The engine rpm was risen upto 6,000 rpm without pressing the pedal and the rpm never dropped again. Hyundai r&d center found the car had different size of wheel at the front side. The owner then withdrew the complaint against the hyundai motor inc in south korea. But i want nhtsa need to investigate this issue because other drivers in usa can experience the same safety issue. This might cause fatal accidents if the front tire lose air pressure. The hyundai motor seems to hide this issue without doing recalls. *tr

This is a recurring hesitation problem. I first noticed this when making a turn into traffic. The hesitation is significant. In some cases there is an acceleration pause of 1-2 seconds. This does not occur every time i accelerate but its lack of predictability is a problem in and of itself. I have come close to being rear ended because the car would just not move when i pressed the accelerator. Also, when the car windows are up and the car sits in the sun for a few hours the central nav and communication system over heats and will not function until it cools off (maybe 20 minutes). In the meantime, back up camera does not work, temperature controls do not work and the bluetooth system does not function.

What i had believed to be somewhat of a nuisance problem has now become a very critical problem. A couple of times after purchasing this hyundai genesis coupe 2.0 while trying to normally accelerate, the car virtually died. Acceleration flat spot. Somewhat similar to the old carbureted cars. Very infrequent, however, the other day losing acceleration almost caused a major accident. Very close. *tr

I own a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. It has multiple problems. The transmission was replaced at 4200 miles and still experiences problems (lurching when put in gear). The paint has had to be refinished, the bluetooth radio function is intermittently broken, traction control does not work on occasion (dash illuminator light indication). I have repeatedly filed complaints with hyundai corporate regarding the traction control issue. After filing the initial complaint and following up 4 times over the course of a month, i have yet to hear back from them. The traction control turns off, and cannot be reactivated (particularly problematic when we've had so much snow). The bluetooth radio issue stems from the radio playing while the phone is connected. I cannot hear the caller, but they can hear me and the radio. The radio should be off when the phone is engaged. Most of the time, i just can't hear the caller but they can hear me. *tr

The hood on the 2010 hyundai genesis coupe does not fit properly allowing the hood to bounce at normal driving speeds. I have advised hyundai usa and they have advised me that the fit of the hood is to specification. My concern with the vehicle is if the hood does not fit properly, it may not latch properly. They have stated, but will not put in writing, the hood will not unlatch. *tr

Car severely pulls to the right, was like this from the day it left the dealership. I have taken it back to dealership and was told that all alignment specs are in soec and do not know what to do. I have taken it to 2 other alignment shops and everything is in spec but car still pull so hard to the right, does not track straight. I have tested on all types of road surfaces and no change. I have changed to new tires and still tracks to the right, there are many many people complaining about the same thing online. *ln
