2014 Hyundai Genesis

CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AFTER STARTING AND PUT INTO GEAR. I DIDN'T TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, NOR WAS THE FLOOR MAT TOUCHING THE PEDAL. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING, IT DID THIS 3 MORE TIMES. IT ACCELERATED WHILE STILL IN PARK, ALMOST TO 3000 RPM BEFORE I SHUT IT OFF. FOURTH TIME, IT RESTARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO WARNING, ENGINE LIGHT OR ISSUES WITH THE CAR STARTING OR DRIVING. NO ISSUES WITH IDLING OR ANYTHING TO SUGGEST I NEEDED SERVICE. THE DEALER IS SAYING IT IS EXCESS CARBON ON THE THROTTLE BODY. IT APPEARS HYUNDAI HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THIS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE AFTER REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL. AFTER STARTING MY CAR AND BACKING UP, I PUT MY VEHICLE INTO DRIVE. BEFORE I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE BY ITSELF WITHOUT THE SPEED REGISTERING ON THE SPEEDOMETER OR THE RPM'S REGISTERING ON THE TACHOMETER. NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVEN AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 41000 MILES, AND HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN AND COULD FIND NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PEACOCK HYUNDAI HILTON HEAD IN HARDEEVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA 29927 (843-208-1234) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHARCOAL FILTER WAS OVERLOADED AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE CHARCOAL FILTER BE REPLACED. THE FILTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO THE CURB. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (ATLANTIC HYUNDAI, 193 SUNRISE HIGHWAY, WEST ISLIP, NY 11705). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

HEADLIGHTS FLASH OFF OR STAY OFF WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNALS. AT NIGHT WHEN CHANGING LANES OR TURNING CORNERS THE HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES GO OFF FOR A MOMENT WHEN ENGAGING THE LEFT OR RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LEVER. ALSO THE HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES TURN OFF AND STAY OFF WHEN COMPLETING A TURN WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF. ONE NEEDS TO JOG THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS BACK ON. THIS CAN BE RECREATED WHEN PARKED SIMPLY BY OPERATING THE TURN SIGNALS. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHETHER MOVING OR PARKED. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE INDEPENDENT OF WEATHER, SPEED OR ROAD CONDITIONS. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS AND EXAMPLES OF THIS CONDITION ON YOU TUBE.

HEADLIGHT FLICKER OFF WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNAL, STAYS OFF FOR 1-2 SECONDS. LIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION. THIS HAPPENED WITH ME DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, VERY SCARY !!! WAS DRIVING IN A CITY, BUT IT HAS HAPPEN DRIVING OUT IN THE COUNTRY. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS A FAULT IN THE LIGHT SWITCH TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY.

THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE ON IT ON WHEN IS IN PARK GEAR. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION OF RPM, I TURN OFF ENGINE WHEN I SAW IT GOES UP TO 6000 RPM, WHICH I BELIEVE IT COULD CONTINUE TO RAISE. THE VEHICLE ALSO ACCELERATE ON IT ON WHEN IT IN DRIVE GEAR ( LOCAL AND HIGHWAY ), I SAFELY PULL OVER, PUT IN PARK GEAR ( STILL ACCELERATE ) AND TURN OFF ENGINE. OVERALL IT HAPPEN ONCE A MONTH SINCE 2017, BUT 2 WEEKS AGO ( 08/07/2017-08/13/2017) IT HAPPEN TWICE. I BRING IT IN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT USING COMPUTERIZE TEST.
