The front RH and LH turn signal harness is defective. The turn signal bulbs burn out quickly even after replacing the bulb harness. When the bulbs are out you are unable to notify oncoming traffic that your vehicle is turning.I believe the dealer is aware of the issue. No inspections other than by the dealer. the vehicle does notify you the bulb is burned out by a rapid green turn signal light on the dash.

A well known and documented case of the oil pressure sensor switch failure has occurred on my car. Hyundai has recalled the car for this problem in South Korea. My switch failed at slightly over 60,000 miles. The switch is in an inaccessible location on the engine for even a good DIY owner-mechanic, which makes it very expensive to replace. This is a very common discussion on Hyundai owner forums and elsewhere.

The trunk of the car stopped opening with the “open trunk button” from inside the car and also does not work with the key fob option. The trunk now needs to be opened by key from key fob everytime. Water is leaking through the trunk of the car and cause to have mold in the car. An electrical problem with the audio of the car stopped working. The radio or bluetooth no longer works due to the audio no longer working. The driver side front window does not work due to an electrical problem.

I have spent over thousands in 2024 in a small amount of time, going to multiple shops, trying to figure out issues. I have been told these models are known for having ECU and electrical issues. My car will not set off any codes. I have greatly maintained my vehicle. I have had my keys reprogrammed, 2 new batteries, 2 new alternators, all new 6 fuel injectors, new MAP sensor, all new spark plugs and plugs, had my engine and transmission inspected, and when I am in traffic WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE the immobilizer will set off and bog my car out in traffic and highways. This computer and electrical system is horrible and dangerous. The electrical is parasitic draining my alternator and battery although I have replaced twice in 2 month. No shop can figure out what is wrong with the ECU and electrical. It is draining my pockets, and putting my children and myself at saftely risk. I have done extensive research on this issue. I have seen many people, same car, same issue. Please help. My car will turn on and run fine. Put me in limp modes and even just bog out in traffic. I am very concerned.

Oil light is on after 65k miles , defective component recalled in Korea already

Dec 16, 2024Lane Departure

I just purchased a used 2015 Genesis 3.8 Sedan and the BSD warning system intermittently comes on after driving at highway speed for less than an hour. It is unable to be reset and requires you to turn off the vehicle for the speed and proper indicators on the dash to be functional. This is a clearly a known manufacturer defect with all the threads being posted about the problem. The dealer is unable to replicate the problem, it requires highway driving of 30 minutes to an hour and has happened with the cruise set. It is not weather related, the car is pristine and clean and does not come on or is triggered by other vehicles. Due to not being able to see your status and other information on the dash until you pull off the road to turn the vehicle off this poses a serious safety threat when traveling at highway speed and not having your instruments to detect proper system performance. It is also not always safe/reasonable and convenient to pull off and turn the car off to reset the system only to have it come back on within the hour.

The headlights intermittently turn off when driving at night. Usually it’s related to using the turn signal, but sometimes it does it completely on its own. Puts others and self at risk as driving down remote roads in the dark and lights cutting out for several seconds can be deadly. Dealer claims they cannot replicate after having the car for nearly 13 weeks total. (7 weeks first time, did not fix issue, 6 weeks second time, “couldn’t replicate”) Unknown. The dash will flash the headlight menu but no other warnings.

There is an outstanding recall 24V107000. As of 9/17/2024, Hyundai does not have parts ready for the recall repair. I went to a Hyundai dealer on or about 7/31/2024 after receiving a notice from Hyundai that remedy is ready and that I should go to one of its dealers to have the repair. I was informed the parts were not available and needed to order them. No parts were provided from Hyundai for the recall.

Factory recall 24V-107: On [XXX] took car to Haselwood Hyundai of Bremerton WA. for MANF. recall Genesis Starter Solenoid water contamination. Recall was completed in 2 hours when driving home car went into emergency mode and shut down on freeway with completely dead battery. Was told by dealership they would not pay 1200 tow bill. Applied for AAA membership and was approved. Car was towed back to dealership on August 28th with approx. 100 miles driven since Aug 9th. Dealership had no idea that costs would be reimbursed by Hyundai. Had they known this the car would have been towed ASAP after breakdown. Note: This vehicle had no issues prior to this factory recall being installed. On August 29 service adviser Brandon said Alternator and battery needed replacement. This made no sense because car had no electrical problems prior to factory install. Authorized dealer to replace this equipment if necessary since I would be reimbursed. Sept 2nd Paid dealer $1,567.00 for repairs. After leaving dealer car ran for 62 miles went into emergency mode with completely dead battery. Sept 3rd car again towed into dealership. My car has run for a total of 4 hours since Aug 9th factory recall repair. I've been without transportation going on 4 weeks because of this incident. Hence, I write to text to you asking for assistance in getting this incident over with. I thank you in advance for your time and interest in this request.

I visited Mission Hills Hyundai located at 10240 Sepulveda Bl, Mission Hills CA 91345 on Jul 31, 2024 for recall after appointment. I waited 2 & half hour, and Hyundai told me the recall service completed but not done. It was perfectly lying. Hyundai explained my car's break disc has problem and cut it and then put together, but only done for resurface. They charged $824 as a labor. Please confirm them and recall service was not doing even Hyundai sent recall service letters many times. Hyundai service is not good. Thank you.

Electric Assisted Steering sporadically locking up during turns, requiring effort to unlock. Other times it will lock during hwy driving requiring significant effort to steer the vehicle. Once under 60 mph it unlocks and goes back to normal. This has been happening unexpectedly and without any warnings. Stopping and shutting down the vehicle then restarting will also reset the steering.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe verdict →
