Each time service was required my car had suddenly stopped running without any acceleration. The start engine button would not work. Each time car was towed to Serra Hyundai. At no time, was there any mentioning of needing a new engine or engine replacement. The service dates: 01/05/2023, 01/14/2023, and 04/14/2023. My last non…

Each time service was required my car had suddenly stopped running without any acceleration. The start engine button would not work. Each time car was towed to Serra Hyundai. At no time, was there any mentioning of needing a new engine or engine replacement. The service dates: 01/05/2023, 01/14/2023, and 04/14/2023. My last non acceleration occurred on night of June 4, 2023. It could have been tragic. I was accelerating to get on freeway heard a loud noise like something fell from up under car then vehicle just stopped and would not accelerate leaving me stranded and cars having to go around me. This could have been a terrible accident. I had car towed to Serra Hyundai. The services being quoted to me is a new engine with estimated cost $7900. I cannot afford that amount and I’m now without a car. However because I have kept maintenance program up on my car the service department submitted PA101761. Unfortunately, it was declined because warranty has expired. In more research, there has been a recall on 2013-2015 Genesis Coupe for the Powertrain, Engine and Suspension. Therefore, Hyundai is fully aware there is an engine issue. The National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) has 149 complaints with the same engine powertrain issues. NHTSA ID# 11435981 dated October 8, 2021 had the exact same issues with vehicle and experience(s) as myself. Hyundai has issued a recall. Recall 135, NHTSA Campaign # 15V756000 and Technical Service Bulletin(TSA)#15-01-054. In my opinion, everything described in this recall and every issue I have is outlined in this campaign. I’m being told my car VIN was not included. There have been several complaints over the years for same issue this cannot be coincidental. A recall should be issued for automatic 2013-15 Genesis Coupe to include my Vin#. Most vehicles are at or approaching 10 years and warranty expired. I currently can’t afford new car and on fixed income, or $7900 new engine on 180,000 mile car.

Last December, 12/11/2021, my son and I traveled from Pittsburgh PA to Columbus Ohio so he could buy a used car from a dealer. It was a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. We spent a few hours at the dealership, I co-signed for him, and he drove back the Hyundai while I drove my own car. Nothing was disclosed to us that we would have questioned. After a few weeks or so of driving the car, a mechanic looked at his car and told us it had been modified. I asked someone who had the same car/year/model and he confirmed this. This modification is significant, in the drive train/engine/under the hood/exhaust rather than something visual, on the outside of the car. It not only sounds far too loud as compared to the exact same year/model but drives differently. The mechanic pointed out the modifications under the hood and told us it should have been obvious to the dealer. I even googled photos of what stock engines look like and mine is definitely different. So, my son never registered the car in PA, as he wasn't sure what to do with it. He drove it for a few months for roughly 5000 miles as he had no other forms of transportation. He's been using my car instead. We can't pay for a car that just sits. It’s still registered with the dealer. The car has just been sitting because we're not sure how safe it is. One of the modifications that wasn't disclosed was a performance kind of muffler/exhaust. It is so loud that the driver can't hear sirens and horns. Also, we didn't know who installed these items. The driver could be exposed to dangerous fumes. We tried working with the dealer to no avail. At this point, we'd just like to return the car and get our money back that we paid the bank.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a whining noise was heard while depressing the accelerator pedal. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer, where it was repaired under Technical Service Bulletin #15-01-054 for Rear Differential Inspection; however, the contact stated that the failure recurred and that while he was stopped at a stop signal, the vehicle lost motive power, and he noticed that the driveshaft had become detached. The vehicle was inoperable and was first towed to the residence and then back to the local dealer. The vehicle remained at the dealer awaiting further diagnostic and repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

AS IM COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN I ACCELERATE ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION ACTED AS THOUGH IT DID NOT WANT TO ENGAGE AND THE MOTOR REVED UP AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO FISH TAIL. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE IN THE VEHICLE.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Genesis Coupe vehicles. A return spring in the ignition lock switch may fracture, which can result in unintended vehicle movement when the vehicle is started in gear, without the parking brake applied.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Unintended vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the ignition lock switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2024. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 266.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Sonata Hybrid, 2012-2015 Accent, Azera, Veloster, 2013-2015 Elantra Coupe, Santa Fe, 2014-2015 Equus, 2010-2012 Veracruz, 2010-2013 Tucson, 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell, and 2013 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the ABS fuse, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024 through October 11, 2024. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 251.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Genesis Coupe vehicles manufactured December 12, 2008, to June 11, 2016. The electrical harness connector for the front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may dislodge when the seat is moved.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the disconnected OCS would, by default, cause the first stage, and only the first stage, of the air bag to deploy, whether there is a child seat in the front seat and the bag should not deploy or if the crash is severe and both stages should deploy. Either scenario increases the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.
Remedy: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will secure the OCS connector to prevent it from disconnecting, free of charge. Parts are not currently available and a second letter will be sent to owners when parts are available. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 151.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Genesis Coupe vehicles manufactured December 28, 2011, to April 6, 2015, equipped with manual transmissions. In the affected vehicles, if the differential and the suspension rear crossmember were not properly aligned during vehicle assembly, the bolts that secure the differential may loosen.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the rear differential loosens from its mounting position, the driveshaft may disconnect from the differential, resulting in a loss of propulsion and an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will verify the proper assembly of the differential, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai's customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 135.
