I was driving the car, and without warning, it just said engine overheating and shut off. If I had pulled out in front of someone, I could easily have gotten killed. There was no prior indication of anything wrong. Just riding down the road and it just shut off for no reason and would not restart. Towed it to the dealership and they told me that I need a new electronic control module and quoted a price of $4,000. That is freaking outrageous for something that should never have gone wrong in this car. I researched online and there are multiple Hyundai Genesis sedan owners have had a problem with the electronic control module going out for no reason. This is something Hyundai should be held accountable for as it is a major safety hazard. For your car to just shut off for no reason while driving it, is extremely dangerous and life-threatening.

When driving at the speed of 20 - 25 MPH the car feels like its skipping or struggling to shifting into the next higher gear. Then all of a sudden it feels like someone rams into the back of us. Then the car will not shift into the next. I took the car into Coconut Creek Automotive LLC. The car just sat there for almost 3 months. They tell me that they could not duplicate the problem. I spoke with a service rep that told me he felt the problem. The Manager said to me that the car had to be driven and the problem displayed 5 out of 10 times. My car was there for almost 3 months and only drove 12 miles.

Driving and car just quit. Clock turned, wipers went crazy, and then smoke came up the front windshield from the engine. I bailed and left it in the road. Awful and dangerous situation. Dealership wasn’t excepting Genesis anymore. Towed to a dealership 50 min away. Told the engine failed.

WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT ONE POINT, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON AND THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CAR IS AFFECTED (POWER, STEERING ETC.) FOR A BRIEF TIME, THEN IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN CAME BACK ON.
