There is an electrical issue that could malfunction internally and cause an electrical short, potentially resulting in an engine compartment fire. The front bulb for the daylight running lamps/ lane changing blinker has been consistently stopped working and/or blown out. The dealer where I purchased the vehicle has worked on the vehicle a minimum of six times, changing the electrical harnesses (among other things) with no success. When looking up this issue on the internet, other owners have reported this problem with the 2015 model and older Hyundai Genesis. Hyundai did changed the daylight running lights in 2016. On a few occasions (3 times), the headlights turned off at night which may or may not be related. I have another appointment in ten days to address the situation once again.

This issue has started with my car stalling out in a parking lot sitting idle. The car just turned off. I restarted the car and it turned off again. After this happened i have noticed turning my car on its slow - like the battery is dieing. I went to Hyundai to get a diagostic test and nothing came up and they could not duplicate the car turning over slowly. Since then my car is still slow to start - "sometimes" . NOW, I can go out and if I have to make several stops - it is garanteed to start slow and get stuck with the Auto Brake on - Which you can not release. I have a picture of the dashboard and a video of what happens when I drive - no RPM. This is causing me not to drive this car - I use to be a very happy Hyundai Genesis owner.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR DURING DAY, MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH THAT CONTROLS HEADLAMPS WILL, WITHOUT INTERACTION, FLIP THE LIGHTS FROM AUTO TO OFF. THIS LEADS TO EITHER THE DRLS BLINKING LIKE I HAVE AN EMERGENCY, OR THE HEADLAMPS TURNING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN AN UNLIT HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS A RECALL...NOT A WARRANTY EXTENSION. PARTICULARLY WHEN THE SERVICING DEALERS REFUSE TO REPLACE UNDER SAID WARRANTY BECAUSE "THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE".
