2015 Hyundai Genesis

Upon driving many warning lights light up and make warning signals on the instrument dashboard. These warning lights light up at the same time or in succession and include: check bid system, tire pressure, check engine light, skid control, check bsd system, and others. In addition, brakes become sticky and steering is affected. Worse yet, car slows down on its own as it engages crash avoidance system.

ESC failed. I was attempting to make a left turn from a stopped position at a typical intersection. I lost control of the vehicle as it started to fishtail once I began the turn. Brakes did not respond and I ended up hitting the curb on the outer lane with both front and rear tires. Side curtain and passenger seat airbags deployed. Vehicle is now a total loss. I believe the faulty ESC poises a lot more risk that just a fire. From other reports on genesis forums by consumers like me, this problem with Hyundai's ESC seems to be a common and reoccurring problem. Recall should be updated to include that ESC may fail and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive.

ON 31 JAN 2019-ICE AND SNOW COLLECT IN A POCKET UNDER THE ENGINE. FREEZING THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. THE "ELECTRONIC STEERING LIGHT " CAME ON, RESULTING IN NO STEERING FUNCTION AT ALL. AUTO HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. LUCKY FOR ME I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. AS I WAS PICKING UP MY AUTO, ANOTHER ONE CAME IN ON A FLATBED WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

SINCE LAST OCTOBER, THE CAR'S STEERING HAS PERIODICALLY FAILED TO RETURN TO CENTER, AFTER TAKING A RIGHT HANDED CURVE. THE CAR JUST KEEPS TURNING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE LEASED IT; HOWEVER, THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY FAILED TO FIX IT. I HAVE LOOKED THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT MUST BE FIXED. WHY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE PEPLE GET HURT?

WHEN DRIVING DURING HEAVY RAIN ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE CAR BEGINS TO FISHTAIL OUT OF CONTROL. IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO DROP THEIR EXPRESSWAY SPEED TO ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR. ALL THE OTHER TRAFFIC CONTINUES TO PASS BY SAFELY AT SPEEDS OF 60 TO 65 OR MORE. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IT BEGAN, I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI WHEN I WAS FORCE TO DRIVE SLOWLY IN THE RIGHT LANE AT ONLY 40 TO 45 IN A 70 MPH ZONE. IF I DARED TO EVEN TRY TO GO ANY FASTER THE CAR WOULD BEGIN FISHTAILING. NONE OF THE OTHER TRAFFIC HAD ANY ISSUE GOING FASTER, AND I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN THE 2013 GENESIS I HAD PREVIOUSLY. I HAVE READ OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR IS REACTING TO ITS FRONT SENSOR BEING 'BLINDED'. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW, AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY WAY TO DISABLE OR INFORM THE CENSOR TO IGNORE THE PRESENT SITUATION.
