What 195 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Hyundai Genesis

ENGINE STALLED AGAIN IN END OF MAY, 2015 WHILE THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. IT WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. THAT WAS THE 4TH TIME WE EXPERIENCED ENGINE STALL IN THE 2.5 YEARS OF OUR OWNERSHIP. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEM NORMAL - RADIO CONTINUED TO PLAY, AC AND FAN WERE STILL ON. WE ONLY NOTICE IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN MORE AND THERE WERE NO ENGINE NOISE. AFTER ENGINE WAS STALLED, WE STOPPED THE CAR AND SHIFTED THE SHIFTER BACK TO "PARK". WE WERE ABLE TO START THE ENGINE RIGHT UP AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AFTERWARD. OUTSIDE WEATHER TEMPERATURE WAS HOT (UPPER 80?S TO 90?S) AT THE TIME. IN THE 4 INCIDENTS, THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE WE WERE ON A FLAT ROAD, INCLINE ROAD, GOING STRAIGHT AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN. IT HAPPENED RANDOMLY AND WE COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT. DEALER HAD TAKEN A LOOK AT THE ISSUE TWICE. NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES WERE FOUND AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE STALLING PROBLEM EITHER. *CN

FIRST, THE CAR BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH SOON AFTER PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2013 WITH 13,000 MILES. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE . HAD MISFIRE CODES. WAS TOLD NOT TO USE GAS FROM KROGER. EVEN USING SHELL MID GRADE GAS CAR RUNS ROUGH AND PRONOUNCED STUMBLING UPON HIGHWAY ACCELERATION. SECOND, EXHAUST IS SOOTY AND STAINING REAR BUMPER AND CORRODING THE EXHAUST TIPS. DEALER SAID THE ENGINE (6 CYLINDER) IS HIGH PERFORMANCE AND ALL HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINES SOOT. HE WOULD NOT WRITE THAT RESPONSE ON REPAIR TICKET. AS A LAY PERSON, CAR APPEARS TO BE RUNNING RICH WHICH IS CAUSING THE SOOT AND ROUGH ENGINE PROBLEMS.

THREE ISSUES. ALL HAVE OCCURRED ONLY TWICE OR THREE TIMES IN TWO YEARS. LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER BUT THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE NO "CODES" WERE STORED IN THE SYSTEM! 1. THE INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY PANEL GOES COMPLETELY DARK. RADIO STOPS AND ALL OTHER ACTIVITY AND CONTROL KNOBS BECOME NON-OPERATIONAL. JUST STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE CAR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT, BOTH TIMES, WHEN I HAVE RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER 30-45 MINUTES (E.G., AFTER SHOPPING, OR RETURNING FROM AIRPORT), EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL. 2. SOMETIMES (AGAIN INFREQUENT) WHEN USING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM, ALL COLORS GO AWAY, SCREEN BECOMES DARKER, AND EVERYTHING DISPLAYS IN GRAY. BUT, WHEN I CHANGE THE DISPLAY SETTINGS FROM AUTO TO DAY, THE COLOR RETURNS. ALL OCCURRENCES WERE DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. 3. AGAIN, SOMETIMES, WHEN LISTENING TO RADIO, THE BRIGHTNESS ON THE DISPLAY CHANGES FROM EVENLY LIT DISPLAY OF THE DIAL, THE TWO ENDS BECOME DARKER - LIKE GETS DARK AND CLOUDY! *TR

VEHICLE BECAME STUCK IN SNOW. AFTER DISENGAGING THE TRACTION CONTROL TO ALLOW VEHICLE TO GET UNSTUCK AS RECOMMENDED BY OWNERS MANUAL AND ATTEMPTING TO GET THE VEHICLE UNSTUCK WITH MILD ACCELERATION, REAR ROTORS BECAME SO HOT THEY WERE GLOWING ORANGE AND ON FIRE! HYUNDAI INITIALLY DENIED PLATINUM WARRANTY CLAIM AS "ABUSE AND WEATHER". ATTEMPTING TO WORK RESOLUTION WITH THEM TO FIX MY VEHICLE WHICH SUSTAINED APPROXIMATELY $3000 IN DAMAGE TO REAR BRAKE SYSTEM FROM FIRE. *TR

PURCHASED CAR NEW WITH DUNLOP SP SPORT 5000M TIRE SIZE 225/55/17 95H. AT 40MPH AND HIGHER, START HEARING A WOBBLE/DEEP GROWLING NOISE. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE TIRES ARE CUPPED / NOT WORN EVENLY. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED WITH EACH OIL CHANGE AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN A ACCIDENT. WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW TIRES, OF COURSE THERE ARE NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY. *TR

WE WERE AT AN INTERSECTION ON HIGHWAY 1. CARS WERE DRIVING BY AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH SO IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE ACCELERATE QUICKLY IN ORDER TO TURN LEFT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE AND THEN WE EXPERIENCED ENGINE HESITATION, WHERE THERE WAS A MOMENTARY PERIOD WHERE THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND TO ME STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I REACTED BY STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR COMPLETELY TO THE BOTTOM AND STILL HAD NO RESPONSE - WE WERE COASTING. I COMPLETELY BACKED OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND STEPPED ON IT AGAIN WHEN THE ENGINE FINALLY BEGAN TO RESPOND. VEHICLES WERE FAST APPROACHING AND IN THAT MOMENT I FELT SCARED AND LOST TRUST IN MY CAR'S FUNCTIONALITY. EARLIER THAT DAY I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING, WHEN ALREADY MOVING, I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WOULD WOBBLE. IT'S DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE. IT FELT LIKE VERY SUBTLE MOMENTARY LOSSES OF POWER OR ACCELERATION FOLLOWED BY A RECOVERY IN THE ACCELERATION AND THEN REPEATING BUT IN QUICK SUCCESSION. YOU WOULD ONLY NOTICE IT IF YOU OWNED THE CAR. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. MAYBE IT WAS THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM BUT BEING UNABLE TO ACCELERATE IN A SITUATION LIKE MINE WAS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

BOUGHT MY 2013 GENESIS 3.8 WITH TECHNOLOGY & PREMIUM OPTIONS ON MARCH 1, 2013. I HAVE HAD TWO PROBLEMS FROM AROUND THE 2ND MONTH AFTER MY PURCHASE. THEY ARE: 1) THE DRIVER SEAT AND THE BACK NOT GETTING MUCH AIRFLOW EVEN AT THE SWITCH SETTING AT MAX POSITION; 2) THE SEAT LEATHER COVER IS NOT SNUG TIGHT - KIND OF LOOSE AND WAVY IN THE MIDDLE AREA. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES STARTING AUGUST 2013. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FAN AND FILTER, FOUND BLOWER MOTOR WEAKENED, SEIZED. REMOVED AND REPLACED BLOWER, SWAPPED SEAT WITH ANOTHER CAR IN STOCK/LOANER, FOUND DRIVER SEAT BOTTOM DEFORMED; REMOVED AND REPLACED DRIVER SEAT BOTTOM, AND HAVE, WITHOUT HYUNDAI'S APPROVAL, INSERTED A "HOSE" TUBE UNDER THE SEAT TO IMPROVE AIRFLOW. I HAVE ALSO HAD TWO DIFFERENT FIELD SERVICE REPS SPEND A DAY, MONTH APART, WITH THE CAR - TESTING AND MEASURING VOLTAGE AND CURRENT TO THE MOTOR. THE FIRST FIELD SERVICE REP AGREED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND REQUESTED "DOCUMENTATION" FROM HYUNDAI-KOREA, BUT NEVER RECEIVED ANY. THAT REP WAS TRANSFERRED OUT, AND THE NEW FIELD REP DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. AFTER THIS, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DIRECTOR TRIED TO HELP ME BY INSTALLING A SMALL "HOSE" TUBE JUST OVER THE AIR-INTAKE OPENING, BUT THAT STILL DID NOT IMPROVE ANYTHING. RIGHT NOW, AT MAX SETTING OF THE SWITCH, I STILL FEEL NO AIR COMING FROM ANY OF THE VENTED HOLES - ON THE SEAT AND ON THE BACK! I HAVE FILED THE DEFECT NOTIFICATION FORM WITH THE HYUNDAI AT THEIR CONSUMER CONNECT CENTER ADDRESS IN CALIFORNIA, AND SENT A COPY TO THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE FOR THE LEMON LAW ADMINISTRATION. I DID DO A GOOGLE SEARCH SOME TIME BACK AND FOUND LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THIS FORUM HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DRIVER SEAT COOLING PROBLEM AND SOME HAD VERY CREATIVE SOLUTIONS. IT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING FOR ALMOST 10 MONTHS, 7 TRIPS AND HYUNDAI NOT DOING A BETTER JOB IN ITS WARRANTY COVERAGE. *TR

TWO WEEKS AGO, MY 2013 3.8 V6 GENESIS SEDAN STALLED WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO TURN RIGHT INTO MY DRIVEWAY. BOTH THE STREET AND MY DRIVEWAY HAVE A LITTLE OF AN INCLINE (MAYBE 5 DEGREES). AFTER THE ENGINE STALLED, I NOTICED THE FUEL TANK WAS ON THE NEAR-EMPTY SIDE AND THE RANGE INDICATOR INDICATED THE REMAINING RANGE WAS 40 MILES. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK AND RE-STARTED IT TO PULL INTO MY GARAGE. THIS ENGINE STALLED PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED TO MY WIFE TWICE AROUND THE SAME SPOT WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK IT OVER. THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT FIND ANY FAULT CODES AND THE CAR RAN FINE DURING TEST DRIVE. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE PERFORMED AT THE TIME. *TR

WHILE IN TRAFFIC, STOPPED AND ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE TO NEXT LEFT HAND LANE, CAR STALLS FOR A FEW SECONDS INSTEAD OF ACCELERATE, THEN IT TAKES OFF AFTER DELAY. THE DELAY WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY DO NOTHING. DEALER SAYS EVERYTHING IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. POSTED THIS INCIDENT ON GENESIS FORUM AND HAVE GOTTEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR NOW JUST OVER 1 YEAR NOW AND IT STILL DOES THE HESITATION. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED DUE TO NO ACCELERATOR RESPONSE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. OTHER THAN THIS PROBLEM, WE LIKE THE 2013 GENESIS VERY MUCH. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT THE POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHED, THEN SURGED. I STARTED/TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR. THAT DIDN'T WORK. I TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL...THAT DIDN'T WORK....CAR KEPT SPEEDING UP TILL I HIT A MASSIVE RV AT 90MPH. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS, TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO A TRAUMA CENTER, AND LATER LEARNED THAT NONE OF THE MANY AIRBAGS THAT THIS CAR HAD DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM TRULY BLESSED HAVING SURVIVED THIS ACCIDENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE BETTER VEHICLES WITH BETTER WORKING SYSTEMS TO PROTECT US. I WILL NOT RENT ANOTHER HYUNDAI EVER AGAIN!! *JS

MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE ACCELERATED THE CAR TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY, CHANGE LANES QUICKLY,AND MAKE RIGHT ON REDS, ONLY TO HAVE IT LITERALLY DO NOTHING. AT TIMES IT TAKES 2 TO 3 SECONDS BEFORE IT ACCELERATES AND THEN SEEMS TO HAVE A TOUGH TIME SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS.AT LOW SPEEDS THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE AND SHIFT POORLY. HOPEFULLY THE DEALER CAN DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

ON JANUARY 11TH 2014, I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2013 HYUNDAI GENESIS FROM BROWN'S MANASSAS HYUNDAI IN 8651 CENTERVILLE ROAD, MANASSAS, VA 20110. ON MY INVOICE IT WAS STATED THAT IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR. TWO MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, I HAD A SENSOR PROBLEM, WHICH I GOT FIXED IN FAIRFAX HYUNDAI WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. ON 10TH APRIL, I HEARD GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR RIGHT TIRE. I TOOK IT TO OTHER HYUNDAI AGAIN. BELOW IS THE REPORT THAT THEY GAVE ME AND I WAS STUNNED. "TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE REAR RIGHT STRUT HAD SNAP FROM BOLD ON FRAME, ONE BOLT MISSING PRIOR AND ALSO FOUND GREEN DUCT TAPE THAT WAS HOLDING THE STRUT TO THE CAR. CUSTOMER ADVISED VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IF VEHICLE IS DRIVEN THERE IS A HIGH POSSIBILITY OF THE STRUT FALLING OFF WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AN ACCIDENT WILL RESULT." THERE WAS A GREEN DUCT TAPE SUPPORTING THE CAR. AFTER THIS REPORT, FOR ME IT IS PROVED THAT THIS CAR MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT AND THE ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED WITHOUT REPORTING IT. EVEN THE MECHANIC WHO SHOWED ME THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR WAS SHOCKED. AFTER I GOT THE REPORT, I TOOK IT TO BROWN'S HYUNDAI MANASSAS AND TALKED WITH SERVICE MANAGER, HE TOTALLY IGNORED ME. OTHER SALES ASSOCIATES TOLD ME THEY ARE UNKNOWN WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER TO HELP ME. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DISLOYAL BEHAVIOR FROM A HYUNDAI EMPLOYEE. AS MECHANIC SAID, I COULD HAVE GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. MY CONCERN IS MY FAMILY. I HAVE A TWO-YEAR-OLD NIECE WHO TRAVELS WITH ME OFTEN IN THE CAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN DOING THIS BEHAVIOR TO OTHER CONSUMER AS WELL AND PUTTING LIFE IN DANGER. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE FAIRFAX HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND TIME THAT HAS HAPPENED, 1ST TIME WAS ABOUT IN FEB 15. 2014 AND 2ND, ON APRIL 2,2014. BOTH TIMES, I WAS ON RICHMOND HWY ALEXANDRIA VA DRIVING ABOT 45 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR. ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR DECELERATED TO ABOUT 5 MILES AND I WAS FLOORING THE PEDAL. I WAS IN SUCH A SHOCK ABOUT THIS INCIDENT BEING THAT MY CAR IS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD. SO WE TOOK IT TO THE ALEXANDRIA HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THE REPAIR WAS VERY FAST, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE THROTTLE PROGRAMMING WAS OFF. I WAS IN FEAR OF MY LIFE SINCE I DRIVE THROUGH TUNNELS AND BRIDGES. I TRUSTED THAT IT WILL BE FIXED PERMANENTLY BUT TO FIND OUT THAT 2 MONTHS LATER I HAD TO EXPERIENCE DEATHLY RE OCCURRENCE. I WAS SO PETRIFIED AND DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN SO I REQUESTED TO EXCHANGE TO ANOTHER CAR. MY HUSBAND DID ALL OF THE TRANSACTIONS FOR THE NEW CAR. FEW DAYS LATER, PAPER WORK ARRIVED, THE SALESMAN CAME TO MY WORK DURING BUSY TIME SO I DIDN'T HAVE CHANCE TO READ IN DETAILS.WELL THE PAPER WORK READ THAT MY NEW CAR WAS 2013 INSTEAD OF 2014. I WAS SO UPSET IN ADDITION TO MY OTHER ISSUE AND NOT WANTING THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR AND MAY BE THE MODEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEED TO REPORT FOR CONSUMER TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TT

IN THE MORNING AROUND 9AM GOING TO WORK ON 405 NORTH. ALL THE SUDDEN I STARTED TO LOSE POWER, ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT DIDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL, I CAME TO STOP END UP BLOCKING ON OF RIGHT LANE AND NOTICED ENGINE SOUND WAS UNUSUAL AND STARTED SHAKING A LOT. I CALLED HYUNDAI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY CAR WAS PICKED UP AND DROPPED TO A KIRKLAND HYUNDAI DEALER BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING UNUSUAL. SERVICE SHOP PERSONAL CLAIM THAT CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING FROM DIAGNOSTICS TEST. THIS INCIDENT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *JS

THIS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE LAST TIME KILLED THE CAR. I WAS TAPPED ON THE REAR BUMPER GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS IN A FULL COUNTER LOCK SLIDE AND THE ABS DID NOT STOP THE CAR. INSTEAD OF STOPPING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY THE CAR SHOT AROUND AND LAUNCHED ME INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS MASHING ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN. I WAS HIT BY A BMW AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I?M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. THE ABS NEEDS TO BE RECALIBRATED OR REPAIRED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHERS. *JS
