What 305 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Hyundai Genesis

I HAVE HANKOOK 245/45R18 96W TIRES. AS OF THIS DATE 04/24/2015 I HAVE 1508 REGISTERED MILES ON THIS CAR. I PURCHASE THIS CAR IN DECEMBER 2015. I RETURN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE NOISY, VIBRATING AND ROUGH RIDE WITH THESE TIRES. I ASK COULD REPLACE THE LOW PROFILE TIRES WITH REGULAR TIRES OF THE SAME SIZE AND WAS TOLD THE RIMS,BRAKING SYSTEM AND POSSIBLE THE SUSPENSION AT A GREAT COST TO ME. I UNDERSTAND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE HYUNDAI AUTO MAKERS ABOUT THE LOW PROFILE TIRES HANKOOK 245/45R18 96W VENTRUS S1 NOBLE 2. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THESE TIRES AT GREAT COST TO ME TO GET A MORE COMFORTABLE AND SAFER DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THANK YOU *TR

SIMPLY PUT, MY HYUNDAI GENESIS IS EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO TOTAL AND SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD 6 TIRES BLOWOUT, EVEN WITHOUT HITTING ANY POTHOLES. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I HAD A TIRE SIDE WALL BLOWOUT AS I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY ,DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAD IT CHANGED THE NEXT MORNING AND WITHIN HOURS, ANOTHER TIRE BLEW WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MILE PER HOUR ON THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY, WITHOUT HITTING ANY ROAD IMPERFECTIONS OR POTHOLES AT ALL. IT SEEMS THAT THE LOW PROFILE TIRES ARE SIMPLY NOT UP TO SIMPLE , NORMAL DAY TO DAY DRIVING. I AM AWARE THAT MANY OTHER GENESIS AND EQUUS OWNERS HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME, MANY TIMES OVER, YET HYUNDAI REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM,BLAMING THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS, EVEN THOUGH THIS HAPPENED TO ME WITH 3 DIFFERENT BRANDS AND EVEN TO TIRES DESIGNED TO RUN FLAT! I DON'T NEED TO ELABORATE ON THE HAZARD CREATED BY TIERS THAT BLOW OUT ALL THE TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON CONGESTED ROADWAYS. I WAS LUCKY THAT I MANAGED TO AVOID GETTING HIT ON THE LAST INCIDENT BY THE HUNDRED OF CARS PASSING BY AT OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RODENT'S CHEWED ON THE WIRES INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHICH CAUSED THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

MY WIFE AND I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED 2 2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE 3.8 AUTO. THIS IS A 3 MONTH OLD CAR WITH 2700 MILES. I TOOK IN ONCE FOR SQUEAK IN REAR AREA, THEY SAID COULD NOT HEAR IT. I ADVISED I WOULD TAKE TECH OUT SO HE COULD HEAR IT. THEY SAID THEY WERE TO BUSY. TOOK BACK A SECOND TIME, THEY SAID THEY COULD HEAR IT, TIGHTENED EVERYTHING IN REAR AREA ABUT COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM THAT MAY HAVE BROKEN WELD!! THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A LOANER. AFTER SITTING MY CAR ACROSS FROM THEIR SERVICE CENTER WITH A SIGN SAYING DO NOT USE THIS DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR IS STILL BROKEN THEY GAVE ME A LOANER. THAT WAS LAST TUESDAY. THE SERVICE CENTER (LONG HYUNDAI CHATTANOOGA, TN) SAID CAR WAS AT BODY SHOP TO FIX A BROKEN WELD THAT THERE IS A NEW TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A BRAND NEW 28K CAR WITH BROKEN WELDS?? THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS. WE ARE WAITING TO SEE IF CAR IS FIXED BEFORE CONTACTING ATTORNEY. I HAVE SEEN POST GOING BACK TO 2010 ABOUT BROKEN WELDS ON THESE GENESIS COUPES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING FIXED. THE BROKEN WELDS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IN A ACCIDENT. *TR
