Starter wiring burned and caused a small, localized fire in the engine compartment of the vehicle. Replacement of the starter assembly along with related engine wiring harness is necessary for vehicle operation. After mechanic review, it was determined the vehicle will catch fire upon attempt to start the vehicle. The vehicle was parked near our home when the internal burning and subsequent small fire started. The problem was reported to our nearest Hyundai dealership and the car was evaluated by the dealership to confirm the above. The car was inspected by Progressive insurance as well at the dealership and it was determined it was not included in TSB 24-01-057H recall for this VIN for the 2015 Hyundai Genesis. For this specific issue, there was zero indication this was a possibility.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that the driver's side mirror failed to adjust properly to view the surroundings on the driver's side of the vehicle. The failure was causing issues and a need for chiropractic care due to the contact needing to manually turn and adjust to safely view oncoming traffic, which aggravated previous neck and back injuries. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the mirror had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. When having the oil changed, the dealer informed the contact of 2 recalls; NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V160000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics) and NHTSA Campaign Number unknown (manufacturer number 252) and Service Campaign Manufacturer Number 965 (NHTSA ID Number unknown). The fuel module, fuse assembly, and relay were replaced or repaired. The vehicle was kept for the remedies to be completed; however, approximately 2-3 weeks after the remedies were completed, the vehicle would hesitate when driving at various speeds, the engine would stall without warning, and the vehicle would fail to start on initial start-up, intermittently. The contact used engine cleaner, seafoam, and Lucas cleaner for the engine; however, the engine failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who was not able to provide a diagnosis or make contact for any updates since the vehicle's been returned. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and had 2 cases of the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

ELECTRONIC GREMLINS PERIODICALLY HIT. -AT RANDOM TIMES THE FRONT OR REAR SENSORS DON'T "SEE" OBJECTS. I HAVE KISSED BUMPERS WITH ANOTHER CAR WHEN NEITHER OF US SAW THE OTHER, AND MY GENESIS FAILED TO SEE. IT'S ALLOWED ME ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS TO PULL TOO CLOSE TO OBJECTS IN FRONT. -WORSE, THERE ARE RANDOM EPISODES WHERE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO SEE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF IT. NUMEROUS TIMES WE HAVE NARROWLY MISSED COLLISIONS WHEN WE HAD TO QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY APPLY BRAKES. I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS AS HAS MY WIFE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY CLIENTS! -THE SELF-RETRACTING MIRRORS FREQUENTLY TO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND WE HAVE TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE.
