2015 Hyundai Genesis

WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS ARE IN THE "AUTO" POSITION AND I ENGAGE MY TURN SIGNALS MY HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER AND THE LCD SCREEN ON MY DASH SWITCHES BETWEEN "AUTO" AND "DRL OFF" WHICH CAUSES MY LIGHTS TO TURN OFF FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M IN MOTION AND WHEN THE TURNING STALK IS ENGAGED, EITHER FULLY OR SEMI, OR EVEN SOMETIMES WHEN I JUST PUSH UP AGAINST THE STALK WITHOUT ACTUALLY ENGAGING THE TURN SIGNAL. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVER TIME, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS(DRL) AND FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULBS BURN OUT VERY FREQUENTLY DUE TO THE FACT THEY ARE THE SAME FILAMENT IN THE BULB EVEN THOUGH THEY REQUIRE A DUAL FILAMENT BULB. THE WIRING HARNESSES ALSO SHOW SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF OVERHEATING. THIS IS A VERY WIDELY-KNOWN ISSUE IN THE ONLINE FORUMS FOR THIS CAR AND IS A COMPLETELY UNSAFE ISSUE. THE DRIVERS SIDE BULB IS EASY TO REPLACE, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT. I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE 3 TIMES AND THE PASSENGER SIDE 2 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. BETWEEN BULBS AND MECHANIC FEES FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE, I HAVE SPENT $200-$300 IN THE LAST YEAR MAINTAIN THIS UNSAFE PROBLEM.

THE HEADLIGHT MODE WILL SOMETIMES CHANGE FROM AUTO TO OFF AND BACK TO AUTO WHILE DRIVING (ON CITY STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY), WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. THIS CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS TO MOMENTARILY SWITCH OFF. I FEEL LIKE THIS MAY BE DUE TO A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE HEADLIGHT MODE ON THE LEFT MULTIFUNCTION STALK, AS THE AUTO AND OFF MODES ARE ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER.

THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNALS LAMPS BURNT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, I THEN REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND THEY BLEW OUT AGAIN. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT ONLY THE LEFT FRONT LAMP WORKED PROPERLY WHERE AS THE SIDE WAS STILL INOPERABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPACED THE PLUG THAT THE BUT BULB WAS ATTACHED TO NOW I'M JUST WAITED TO SEE IF ANY OTHER ISSUES OCCUR.

MY HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF (COMPLETELY) ON OCCASION WHEN I TOUCH THE BLINKER SIGNAL STALK. THEY THEN FLICKER AND CYCLE. HERE IS VIDEO OF THE EXACT ISSUE - HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WYAMRUDMTQG. IT HAPPENED ON THE PA TURNPIKE WHILE I WAS GOING 70 MPH. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MANY SIMILAR REPORTS FOR THE HYUNDAI GENESIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER 3 YEARS TO ME.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS(DRL) AND FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULBS BURN OUT VERY FREQUENTLY DUE TO THE FACE THEY ARE THE SAME FILAMENT IN THE BULB EVEN THOUGH THEY REQUIRE A DUAL FILAMENT BULB. THE WIRING HARNESSES ALSO SHOW SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF OVERHEATING. THIS IS A VERY WIDELY-KNOWN ISSUE IN THE ONLINE FORUMS FOR THIS CAR AND IS AN ANNOYING AND UNSAFE ISSUE.

MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON RANDOMLY WHILE SITTING STILL AND DRIVING, IT SHOWS ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCHING FROM AUTO MODE AND OFF RANDOMLY I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON A COUPLE FORUMS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL BEFORE SOME HITS A CHILD OR A CAR IN THE STREET CAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT TRYING TO WORK ON IT SOME PEOPLE SAID BY REPLACING THE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE IT FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FIX NOT A OWNER FIX IF THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM ( I FOUND AS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE WHICH IS THE EXACT PROBLEM EVERY ONE IS HAVING HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/WYAMRUDMTQG)

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL BULBS SEVERAL TIMES (3 TIMES SO FAR). THE 2015 MODEL USES ONE LIGHT TO FUNCTION AS BOTH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT AND ALSO AS THE TURN SIGNAL. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY OVERHEAT AND IT WAS PROBABLY A BAD DESIGN IN MY OPINION. I FEEL LIKE HYUNDAI NEEDS TO STRONGLY CONSIDER A RECALL TO RECTIFY THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. I DON'T EVER REMEMBER HAVING TO REPLACE A TURN SIGNAL ON ANY OF THE VEHICLES I'VE EVER OWNED AND IT SEEMS THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT CREATES A BIT OF A SAFETY ISSUE TOO - BEING WITHOUT A FRONT TURN SIGNAL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I PUT MARCH 16 BELOW AS THAT WAS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE.

THE HEADLIGHTS, WHETHER IN AUTO-MODE OR ON-MODE, WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, THEN CYCLE QUICKLY BACK ON AND OFF, BEFORE TURNING BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. WITHIN A 30MIN DRIVE THIS TYPICALLY WILL HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE. IT IS SPEED INDEPENDENT; IT WILL OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, DURING REST AT A STOP LIGHT, DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, THROUGH DARK TWISTING FOREST ROADS, ETC., ETC. SOMETIMES, ALTHOUGH NOT ALWAYS, OPERATING THE TURN SIGNAL WILL INITIATE THE ISSUE. AS DOCUMENTED BY VIDEO, WHEN IN AUTO-MODE AND THE SITUATION OCCURS, THE "LIGHT-MODE" DASH DISPLAY WILL QUICKLY ALTERNATE BETWEEN OFF AND AUTO AS THE LIGHTS THEMSELVES CYCLE OFF AND ON. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVER AND ALSO SURROUNDING VEHICLES, AS ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTING IS LOST AND THE VEHICLE GOES DARK.
