What 144 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

ON DECEMBER 22ND, 2015, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR INTO MY PARKING LOT AT MY OFFICE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELARATE ON ITS OWN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THAT THE ENGINE HAS ACCELARATED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN CONTINUED TO REV HIGHER WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK. IF IT WAS NOT FOR SOME QUICK THINKING, I ALMOST WENT INTO A WALL OF THE GARAGE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE COULD HEAR THE REVING OF THE CAR. HE ASKED IF I FELT SAFE DRIVING IT TO THE DEALER WHICH I DID. ALL THOUGHOUT THE RIDE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELARATE ON ITS OWN. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, THE CAR STOPPED DOING THIS. THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR 5 WEEKS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE AT HYUNDAI TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN

ON DECEMBER 18, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 4:45PM, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE BEGINNING OUR TRIP TO AN EVENT. WE WERE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, ABOUT THE 4TH OR 5TH CAR IN LINE TO TURN LEFT ONTO A MAJOR ROAD. THERE ARE 2 LANES FOR TURNING LEFT AND WE WERE IN THE TURN LANE NEXT TO THE LANE THAT GOES STRAIGHT ACROSS THE MAIN ROAD BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THE FIRST RIGHT ONTO THE INTERSTATE AFTER GETTING ON THE MAIN ROAD. WE HAD ALREADY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND HAD BEEN STOPPED FOR PROBABLY A MINUTE OR SO. CARS WERE ALSO STOPPED BEHIND US. IT IS A STEEP HILL, AND WE WERE FACING UPHILL SO HIS FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKES. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE JUST STARTED ROARING LIKE IT WAS FULL THROTTLE AND IT TOOK OFF FORWARD AND HIT A NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP TRUCK IN FRONT OF US. IT WENT UNDER THE TRUCK'S BUMPER AND KEPT PLOWING FORWARD. HE TRIED TO TAKE IT OUT OF GEAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO. WE WATCHED AS THE HOOD KEPT CRUMPLING MORE AND MORE AS WE WERE LIFTING UP THE TRUCK AS WE WERE GOING UNDER IT. THE BACK WHEELS OF THE TRUCK WERE OFF OF THE GROUND. I FINALLY THOUGHT TO REACH OVER AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THANK THE LORD, IT SHUT OFF BEFORE ANYONE GOT HURT.

THE REAR TIRES WEAR INCREDIBLY QUICK 60,000 MILE TIRES IN 11,000 50,000 MILE TIRES IN 19,000 CHEAP TIRES EVEN QUICKER.I TOOK THE CAR INTO HYUNDAI FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THE SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE CAR.EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC HE SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE REAR END OFF THE CAR TO FIND OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY ASKED ME TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT WHICH I DID AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND CHARGED ME $134.70 WHEN HYUNDAI THEMSELVES ASKED ME TO TAKE IT TO THEM . THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG AND HYUNDAI KEEPS TRYING TO BLAME THE TIRES. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD .AFTER THE FIRST SET WORE DOWN I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES. PUT ON MICHELIN PILOT A/3 A VERY GOOD TIRE WAS COMING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED RAINING AND I WENT SIDEWAYS. LUCKILY I CAUGHT IT IN TIME AND STRAIGHTENED THE CAR OUT. I HAD NO IDEA WHY THIS HAPPENED UNTIL I GOT HOME DRIVING EXTREMELY SLOW IN THE RIGHT LANE TO FIND I HAD NO TREAD AFTER 11,000 MILES ON THE MICHELIN'S. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND THIS WILL BE THE 4TH SET OF REAR TIRES

WHEN USING THE TURN INDICATOR, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH OFF. SOMETIMES IT IS JUST FOR A MOMENT AND OTHER TIMES FOR A SECOND OR TWO. THIS LEAVES ME IN COMPLETE DARKNESS AND OPPOSING DRIVERS GETTING UPSET THAT MY LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON AND OFF. THIS OCCURS WHETHER I AM IN MOTION, STOPPED TO MAKE A TURN, OR AT ANY TIME WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN JUST "TAPPING" THE 3-BLINK LANE CHANGE OPTION FOR THE TURN SIGNALS.

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYWHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELARATE ON ITS OWN. AS I APPROACHED TRAFFIC, I SWERVED OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED THE CAR AND RE-STARTED. WHEN I GOT BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. LUCKLY, I WAS NOT TOO FAR FROM MY HOME AND QUICKLY WENT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE TO THE DEALER AND THERE WAS NO ISSUES UNTIL I PULLED INTO THE SERVICE BAY AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV-UP WITHOUT HITTING THE ACCELORATOR THE DEALER KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR 10 DAYS BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY CAUSE.

THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A TECH PACKAGE WITH A FEATURE THAT AUTOMATICALLY SETS THE HEIGHT, AND LENGTH OF THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN TO THE DRIVE'S PREFERENCES. THIS FEATURE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE STEERING COLUMN ONLY GOES UP SO FAR TO THE POINT WHERE IT BLOCKS MY VISION TO THE SPEEDOMETER READING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT WITHOUT GREAT EFFORT DETERMINE HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER TO NO AVAIL. THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY REPORTED PROBLEMS YET WHEN I GO ON LINE TO A HYUNDAI GENESIS CHAT FORUM NUMEROUS DRIVERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHEN ENGAGING THE TURN SIGNAL, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH OFF AND BACK ON QUICKLY. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SET TO "ON" (AS OPPOSED TO "AUTO"). IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED, BUT IT HAPPENS 15-20% OF THE TIME. IT IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS AROUND THE VEHICLE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE: HTTP://GENESISOWNERS.COM/HYUNDAI-GENESIS-FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?S=15515FE08925ADEB2371411165FE2C76&T=12026&PAGE=2. *TR

SEAT HEATER ELEMENTS BURNING DRIVERS BACK AND BOTTOM WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH NO SWITCHES TURNED ON. DEALER DIAGNOSES THAT THE PROBLEM IS HEATER SWITCH AND REPLACES AFTER THREE VISITS TO DEALERSHIP ON FLORIN IN SACRAMENTO CA. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY TESTED THE SEAT AND IT WAS FINE , BUT OWNER USES CAR FOR WORK , AND THE BURNING CONTINUES. *TR

I WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICEMAN WHO NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH TO NOTIFY ME OF THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A DIODE HAD FAILED. I WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICEMAN ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE (THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON MY DASH OF THE NON-WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS AT THAT TIME EITHER). SO, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE FOUR YEARS THAT I'VE DRIVEN THIS CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN NO REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE THEN I'M AT RISK FOR A REAR-END COLLISION. THERE SHOULD BE AN INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT INFORMS THE DRIVER OF NON-WORKING REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. ESPECIALLY WHEN NO REAR BREAK LIGHTS ILLUMINATE (AS WAS MY SITUATION). *TR

NOTICED THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS SHUT OFF FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS WHEN MAKING A TURN ONTO A RAMP ON AN INTERSTATE. SEEMED TO HAPPEN WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WAS OPERATED AND HAS REPEATED A DOZEN OR SO TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, BUT CAN GO WEEKS TO MONTHS BETWEEN INCIDENTS. I THINK THAT THE HEAD LIGHT SELECTIONS SWITCH WAS SET TO "ON" AT THE TIME AS I HAVE NOT NOTICED THIS TO OCCUR WHEN SET TO "AUTO." *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH IN THE LANE, THE CAR ON THE LEFT LANE HIT THE REAR BODY AND TIRE OF DRIVER SIDE, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STOP EVEN AFTER THE IMPACT. AFTER THE COLLISION, I PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, BUT IT KEPT MOVING, EVEN INCREASED ITS SPEED UP TO 60 MPH, AND TURNED INTO THE DIFFERENT DIRECTION. ALSO THE WHEEL WAS STUCK BY ITSELF AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ANYWHERE WITH MY HANDS. IT WENT OFF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY CONTROL. 20 YEARS OLD TOYOTA CAMRY WAS ABLE TO STOP AT THE SPOT OF COLLISION, BUT HYUNDAI GENESIS COULDN'T. THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE WERE BOTH STUCK AND UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED AND CRASHED INTO THE ELECTRIC POLE. THE AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED, AND HYUNDAI GENESIS WAS TOTALED. IN 2014, THE BRAKE RECALL SERVICE WAS RECEIVED TWO TIMES FROM THE DEALER. THERE MUST BE THE MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE BRAKE, SPEED CONTROL, AND THE WHEEL WHICH CAUSED THIS TOTAL LOSS. I WAS INJURED AND TAKEN BY THE AMBULANCE LATER. I NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS LIKE THIS BEFORE WITH ANY OTHER CARS! *TR

I DROVE FROM PALM SPRINGS, CA TO SANTA MONICA, CA. MY AIR CONDITIONING WAS WORKING FINE. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER DRIVING AROUND SANTA MONICA MY AIR CONDITIONER DIDN'T WORK ANY LONGER. I DROVE BACK TO PALM SPRINGS AND WENT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR BY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2,2012 AND TOLD ME THEIR WAS A HOLE IN MY CONDENSER AND IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I FEEL THAT EITHER THE GRILL OR DESIGN IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS. *TR

I BOUGHT 4 NEW MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S PLUS EARLY LAST YEAR. I HAVE PUT APPROXIMATELY 30K MILES ON THEM. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO MY TIRE SHOP AND THE MANAGER TOLD ME MICHELIN WAS OFFERING MONEY TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I ASKED IF IT WAS A RECALL AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT. HE INSPECTED MY TIRES AND SHOWED ME THE TIRES WERE ACTUALLY FLAKING AND I COULD SEE TIRE CORDS SHOWING ON CERTAIN PARTS OF THE OUTER EDGE. I LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TIRE AND I COULD NOT FIND ANY MENTION OF THIS TIRE. WHY NOT? HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN ADDRESSED AND VERY FRUSTRATING TO THINK ACTION IS NOT BEING TAKEN. WAKE UP FOLKS!! I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS COMPLAINED. I WENT ONTO THE MICHELIN WEBSITE AND SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE ON THEIR SITE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE? A FATALITY BEFORE YOU "SPRING" INTO ACTION? *TR

DEALER DIAGNOSED AS TROUBLE CODE C15, THROTTLE BODY ASSY. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY, DROVE CAR FOR 50 MILES IN 4 DAYS. NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NO POWER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WILL HAVE CAR TOWED BACK TO DEALER. LOOSING POWER WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATES OR PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS AND SAFETY PROBLEM!!!!!!! *TR
