WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS IN AUTOMATIC MODE, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE DASH WILL INDICATE THE LIGHTS MODE HAS CHANGED, BEFORE THE LIGHTS WILL TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES TYPICALLY AT NIGHT ALONG RURAL HIGHWAYS BUT HAS OCCURRED ALONG LIT STREETS AS WELL. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE SIMPLY DRIVING ALONG A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD AS WELL AS WHEN TURNING OR SWITCHING FROM BRIGHTS TO DIMS. THIS SAFETY HAZARD HAS FORTUNATELY NOT YET RESULTED IN LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO LACK OF AWARENESS REGARDING POSITION ON THE ROAD AND COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. DATE LISTED IS THE MOST RECENT TIME THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

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.

ON 8/3/19 DRIVING ON ACADEMY ST. IN NEWARK NJ @7:50 AM, AT THE RED LIGHT ON ACADEMY & WASHINGTON ST. MY BRAKES FAILED WITH NO WARNING, AND I ROLLED THRU A RED LIGHT WHERE THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE BACK UP AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT AS A BUS WAITED. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AFTER MY BRAKES FAILED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT A FEW YARDS AWAY, AND CALLED GENESIS, WHICH SAID THEY RECEIVED AN ALERT ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND I ASKED WHY THEY WERE NO ALERTS ON THE IMPENDING BRAKE ISSUES, AS I HAD RECEIVED A PRIOR ALERT ON ANOTHER ISSUE DEALING WITH THE FUEL VAPOR HARNESS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO DROP OF THE CAR ON 8/5/19. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS CORRODE REAR BRAKE LINES, AND BRAKE HYDRAULICS, AND WAS BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY( I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM THE HYUNDAI GENESIS DEALER AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN 8/2019), AND IT APPEARS THIS IS THE WARRANTY COVERING THE REPAIRS, NOT THE BALANCE OF HYUNDAI'S VAUNTED WARRANTY., MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 20,038 MILES ON IT, SO HEAVY USAGE IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE. IT APPEARS THE WERE BAD PARTS ON THE CAR, AND I WAS JUST LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED A BAD ACCIDENT THAT MORNING. SO FAR, THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE 8/5/19, WITH NO INFORMATION AS TO WHERE THE REPAIRS STAND, OR IF THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRABLE. WE HAVE TWO OF THESE VEHICLES IN THE FAMILY AND ARE CONCERNED, AND ARE KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH ON THE OTHER.I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THERE MAY OTHER OWNERS DRIVING THESE CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS QUITE UNKNOWN TO THEM.

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.
