2015 Hyundai Genesis

HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, 5 OF WHICH I WAS TRAVELING ON RURAL ROADS WITH NO STREETLIGHTS. DURING THE DAY, THE LIGHT DIAGRAM BOX WHICH SHOWS IF YOUR LIGHTS ARE IN AUTOMATIC, DRL OR MANUAL MODE CYCLES THROUGH. IN ADDITION, I AM CONSTANTLY REPLACING TURN SIGNAL BULBS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI OVER 60 TIMES AND THEY HAVE EXPRESSED NO INTEREST IN REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. THEY KNOW THAT IT IS THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED VIA THE DEALERSHIP'S CONVERSATION WITH HYUNDAI. IT'S IMPORTANT TO REPORT THIS IF YOUR VEHICLE IS AFFECTED, TO HIGHLIGHT THE FREQUENCY OF THIS DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON I-295 IN WASHINGTON, DC WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN IN EXTREMELY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO GET MY VEHICLE OFF THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND TO A SAFER LOCATION, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO MORE THAN A FEW METERS. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. THIS IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT IT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLES FOR SOME TIME NOW. AFTER MORE THAN ONE (1) HOUR, I WAS RESCUED BY A TOWING COMPANY THAT LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DISCOVERED THAT I REQUIRE AT LEAST A THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND HAS ORDERED THE PARTS WHICH MEANS THAT I AM RENTING A CAR UNTIL THE REPAIRS ARE MADE (THE PART WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO BE DELIVERED). AFTER THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY IS INSTALLED, THE DEALERSHIP WILL RESCAN TO SEE IF THAT ELIMINATES SOME OF THE OTHER CODES THAT WERE DISCOVERED.

FRONT INSIDE DOOR LOCK SWITCH (DRIVER'S SIDE) REMAINS IN THE UNLATCHED POSITION WHEN I ATTEMPT TO LOCK DOOR VIA LOCK BUTTON FROM INSIDE OF CAR OR VIA KEY FOB FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. ALL OTHER DOORS (FRONT PASSENGER, LEFT REAR, RIGHT REAR) LOCK JUST FINE. HAZARD: THE DOOR MAY NOT BE IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND MAY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURY TO THE DRIVER.

THIS CAR LOSES CONTROL ON ICE COVERED ROADS, AND HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR APPEARS TO BE OVER CORRECTING WHEN ROADS ARE ICE COVERED. THE REAREND OF THE CAR BEGINS TO SLIP FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE BEGINNING AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 40/45 MPH. THE PROBLEM IS, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. IT IS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH A STABILITY MODULE OR SOMETHING. DEALER SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE THE PROBLEM. A VERY SCARY SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS.

THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY ABOUT 60 MPH. IT WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE AND LUCKILY NO CARS WERE AROUND. WE TOOK EXIT AND FOUND OUT THAT PART OF THE ROOF BLOWN AWAY AND THE REMAINING GLASS SHATTERED. LUCKILY NO INJURIES AS SUNROOF'S SHADE GUARD PROTECTED US FROM THE BITS OF GLASS. I DROVE SLOWLY TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE I LEASED THE CAR. EVEN THOUGH THIS GENESIS UNDER FULL WARRANTY, DEALER (HYUNDAI MOTORS) REFUSED TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED. WE HAVE NOT OPENED THE SUNROOF FOR A LONG TIME. THERE MUST BE A DESIGN DEFECT. THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY CONCERN. AUTO MAKERS SHOULD RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE SUFFER SERIOUS INJURIES. *BF *TR

IN 2016 I BOUGHT A 2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS WITH CONTINENTAL PRO CONTACT. THIS WAS A NEW CAR WITH 1,565 MILES ON IT. IN LESS THAN A YEAR I NOTICE THE SIDE WALL ON THE FRONT TIRE HAD A BULGE IN IT. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRE FOR FREE BUT OFFERED A DISCOUNT ON ANOTHER TIRE. I TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY FOR SERVICE AND THEY FOUND A BULGE IN THE SIDE WALL OF THE REAR TIRE. THE FIRST TIRE ONLY HAD 14,466 MILES I'M CURRENTLY AT 21,711 MILES. I'M GOING TO REPLACE THEM ALL BUT THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED. OH AND WHEN CHECKED THE DOT # ,THREE OF THE TIRE DID NOT HAVE THE FOUR DIGIT DATE. ONLY ONE HAD THE WHOLE NUMBER AFFE WC85 2115.
