The window regulators are built with a hard plastic that essentially melts in Florida heat and then your windows just drop. Each window in my car has dropped and will not go back up without paying Hyundai a lot of money to repair the window. For instance, in December 2022 I paid Hyundai $660 to repair the right rear window and in August 2022 I paid Hyundai $651 to repair the left rear window regulator (second repair). Now the front driver side window has to be repaired for the second or third time. The parts were ordered and just the parts will cost $900 and I still will have to pay the labor expenses for inferior made materials. The driver side window was replaced and a new regulator was installed by Napleton Hyundai in West Palm Beach. I do not have the paperwork for the repairs made by Napleton. Then Coastal Hyundai in Melbourne, Florida worked on the rest of the windows including putting in a new regulator in the driver side and will install a new motor. These windows are neither reliable nor safe and should not have been constructed with plastic. They just fall and will not go back up. The window parts should have been recalled and replaced. I attached a copy of the invoices that I have paid already and could locate. Also, I want to report that when I contacted Hyundai to issue a complaint about the right rear window in December 2022 it took 30 days for the customer service representative to respond to me. He apparently, would document that he planned to call me in the computer and never followed through. I called and asked to talk to his Supervisor and was told that I would have to talk with him. Not having a Supervisor to talk with was also a problem because he knew that I could only talk to him so he took his time. I don't know if anything will be done but I wanted to document my concerns.

CAR HAS SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED. JERKS THEN SHUTS OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND FOOT ON BRAKE. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT WITH NO ISSUES. NO LIGHTS OR ANY THING CAME ON. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY BRAKES HAD BEEN WORKING FINE. ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESULT. I AM MEDIATELY PUMP MY BRAKES AFTERWARDS AND THE CORDED STOP. THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY PUMP MY BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP. MY BRAKE FLUID WAS CHECKED AND WAS FULL. I DROVE HOME WITH SAME ISSUE AND HAVE NOT DROVE CAR SINCE. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST HAPPENED I CAME OFF A HIGHWAY EXIT TO A STOP LIGHT.

FREEWAY DRIVING AT SPEED LIMIT (65MPH) PASSENGER SEAT HEAD REST SELF ENERGIZED CAUSING PASSENGER TO BECOME UNCONCIOUS FOR ONE OR TWO MINUTES, WITHOUT WARNING. AUTO HAD NO ACCICENTS NOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE TO HEADREST OR SEAT. PASSENGER COMMENT AFTER HE BECAME CONCIOUS WAS "WHY DID YOU HIT ME." PRECEEDED BY A NOISE LIKE A METAL PIPE BEING DROPPED. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE 'REAR END COLLISION SENSOR LOCATED AT SEAT BASE TO ENERGIZE. THE HEADREST CAME FORWARD STRIKING BACK OF HEAD CAUSING A POSSIBLE CONCUSION. A DIFFERENT RESULT WOULD HAVE CAUSED DEATH IF IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE. FAILURE WAS CAUSED BE SPRING TENSION CONTINIOUS ON PLASTIC AND BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR PIECES, BUT ONLY THE FRONT PART IS AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THIS FORCES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HEADREST ASSEMBLY. (QUOTED $792). REPAIR NOT AVAILABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

ON DECEMBER 18, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 4:45PM, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE BEGINNING OUR TRIP TO AN EVENT. WE WERE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, ABOUT THE 4TH OR 5TH CAR IN LINE TO TURN LEFT ONTO A MAJOR ROAD. THERE ARE 2 LANES FOR TURNING LEFT AND WE WERE IN THE TURN LANE NEXT TO THE LANE THAT GOES STRAIGHT ACROSS THE MAIN ROAD BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THE FIRST RIGHT ONTO THE INTERSTATE AFTER GETTING ON THE MAIN ROAD. WE HAD ALREADY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND HAD BEEN STOPPED FOR PROBABLY A MINUTE OR SO. CARS WERE ALSO STOPPED BEHIND US. IT IS A STEEP HILL, AND WE WERE FACING UPHILL SO HIS FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKES. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE JUST STARTED ROARING LIKE IT WAS FULL THROTTLE AND IT TOOK OFF FORWARD AND HIT A NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP TRUCK IN FRONT OF US. IT WENT UNDER THE TRUCK'S BUMPER AND KEPT PLOWING FORWARD. HE TRIED TO TAKE IT OUT OF GEAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO. WE WATCHED AS THE HOOD KEPT CRUMPLING MORE AND MORE AS WE WERE LIFTING UP THE TRUCK AS WE WERE GOING UNDER IT. THE BACK WHEELS OF THE TRUCK WERE OFF OF THE GROUND. I FINALLY THOUGHT TO REACH OVER AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THANK THE LORD, IT SHUT OFF BEFORE ANYONE GOT HURT.

SERVICE BRAKES

Brakes stop working randomly. Press pedal down and there is very little braking power. Had to pump brakes and limp home. Came back after sitting a while. This has happened several times - 6/7.
Dec 15, 2021
THE Z01 DIODE FAILED CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THERE IS NO WARNING TO THE DRIVER THAT THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HYUNDAI. THEY RELEASED A TSB, TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 09-BE-023, CONCERNING THE ISSUE BUT THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE SAME DIODE WHEN IT HAS FAILED. NO IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE PART MORE RELIABLE. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER HAS NO INDICATION THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PUTTING THEM, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK OF A SERIOUS REAR END COLLISION.

I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGED WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACK DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED I COULD NOT PUSH THE BREAK IN AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS ON THE ENTIRE TIME. MY DOOR IS NOW CRUNCHED UP FROM ROLLING BACK INTO A TREE. IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO MY NEIGHBORS YARD BEFORE MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP BY PUSHING THE BREAK PEDAL AS HARD AS HE COULD. I BRUISED MY SHOULDER TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ROLLING AWAY.

IN 2016, I FILED COMPLAINT # 1084551 REGARDING THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHEN MY CAR HAD ONLY 23000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY NEITHER THIS AGENCY OR HYUNDAI USA GAVE ME THE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED, AND HAPPY HYUNDAI KEPT MY CAR FOR 43 DAYS TO REPLACE VARIOUS ENGINE PARTS. NOW IN 2019, THE CONNECTOR TO THE COOLANT FAN MELTED WHICH IS RELATED TO THE ECM MODULE. THERE WAS AN ECM RECALL AT THE TIME IN MARCH 2016 BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE RECALL DIDNT ADDRESS/FIX THE PROBLEM. FURTHER, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED IN 2016, THEE ECM RECALL AND THE PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ON JULY 25, 2019 ARE VERY RELATED. I CAN ONLY HOPE AND IMPLORE THOS AGENCY TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THESE ISSUES. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGANOSTIC I WAS GIVEN SAID THEE THERMOSTATE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND A COOLANT FLUSH. ALSO TOLD THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON AUGUST 14TH THE THERMOSTATE, SENSOR AND COOLANT FLUSH WAS COMPLETED BY HAPPY HYUNDAI BUT THE ENGINE CAME BACK ON THE SAME DAY AFTER I DROVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I TOOK MY CAR INTO ANOTHER O. AUGUST 20, 2019 AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WASS MISSED DIAGNOSED AND THAT THE COOLANT FAN CONTROLLER HAD SHORTED AND THE CONNECTOR TO THAT COMPONENT HAD MELTED. THIS IS ALL RELATED TO THE ECM MODULE.

THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH THE BLUETOOTH SOUND SYSTEM WHERE IT RANDOMLY DISCONNECTS REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THE CAR USES A LEXICON SOUND SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE CAR EXPERIENCES ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE DISPLAY REGARDING SELECTING A BLUETOOTH DEVICE AND THE SCREEN APPEARS BLANK. FROM WHERE THE ISSUE DERIVES IS UNKNOWN TO PIN POINT. ONE POSSIBILITY IS THAT THE SYSTEM READS A CD RANDOMLY WITHOUT A DISK BEING INSIDE AND IT RESETS THE SYSTEM.

STEERING
7 complaints
THE POWER-STEERING IS LEAKING FLUID AND THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN OCTOBER 2016 WHEN THE CAR HAD 25,822 MILES, AND HAPPY HYUNDAI REPLACED THE RACK SET AND THE POWER STEERING LINE. THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED IN SEPTEMBER 14, 2019 WHEN THE CAR HAD 51,784 MILES, AND NAPLETON-RIVER OAKS HYUNDAI SAID THE CAR IS LEAKING POWER-STEERING FLUID, AND WHEN I DROVE THE CAR BEFORE TAKING IT IN FOR REPAIRS, I NOTICED DIFFICULTY IN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE A SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC FROM NAPLETON HYUNDAI BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND THEY DISCOVERED THE ISSUE AFTER I LEFT. I ALSO CONTACTED HYUNDAI'S NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR THEY WILL FORWARD TO THEIR TECHNICAL OFFICE.

HYUNDAI GENESIS SEDAN 4.6; WHEN THE CAR IS COLD SUCH AS IN DECEMBER IN NORTHEAST, THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, I HAVE TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE CAR TO TURN, PARTICULARLY TURNING TO THE RIGHT. AFTER THE CAR HEATS-UP, THE STEERING WORDS O.K. TO AVOID HAVING A CRASH WHEN I AM TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT, I HAVE TO ALLOW THE CAR TO HEAT UP FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING IT. NEW POWER STEERING FLUID HAS NOT IMPROVED THE STEERING PERFORMANCE. *TR
Dec 20, 2016
THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A TECH PACKAGE WITH A FEATURE THAT AUTOMATICALLY SETS THE HEIGHT, AND LENGTH OF THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN TO THE DRIVE'S PREFERENCES. THIS FEATURE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE STEERING COLUMN ONLY GOES UP SO FAR TO THE POINT WHERE IT BLOCKS MY VISION TO THE SPEEDOMETER READING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT WITHOUT GREAT EFFORT DETERMINE HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER TO NO AVAIL. THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY REPORTED PROBLEMS YET WHEN I GO ON LINE TO A HYUNDAI GENESIS CHAT FORUM NUMEROUS DRIVERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHEN ENGAGING THE TURN SIGNAL WHEN ON THE ON POSITION ONLY ( NOT THE AUTO POSITION) LIGHT WILL REMAIN OFF FOR BETWEEN 1 AND 10 SECONDS. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN MOVING OR STOPPED. THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE SWITCH AND JUST TOUCHING IT CAN CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT.

Sep 30, 2016
WHEN USING THE TURN INDICATOR, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH OFF. SOMETIMES IT IS JUST FOR A MOMENT AND OTHER TIMES FOR A SECOND OR TWO. THIS LEAVES ME IN COMPLETE DARKNESS AND OPPOSING DRIVERS GETTING UPSET THAT MY LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON AND OFF. THIS OCCURS WHETHER I AM IN MOTION, STOPPED TO MAKE A TURN, OR AT ANY TIME WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN JUST "TAPPING" THE 3-BLINK LANE CHANGE OPTION FOR THE TURN SIGNALS.

The car stops while driving and all the lights on the dash lights up. Happened a couple of times in the last 2 days, both the times the speed was around 20-30 mph. I am really worried about the issue and called the closest Hyundai dealer at San Bruno, CA who gave an appointment in May to check it.

CAR IS AT 57K MILES AND REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION! THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ADJUSTS FOR ISSUES RELATED TO A TRANSMISSION TO ENSURE A SMOOTH SHIFT AND RIDE ESSENTIALLY HIDING THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A STEERING ISSUE WHICH REQUIRED RESETTING THE ADAPTIVE CONTROL. WITH THIS, THE CAR'S PREVIOUSLY HIDDEN TRANSMISSION ISSUE WAS AMPLIFIED RESULTING IN SEVERE JERKING AND SHIFTING GEARS.
Nov 13, 2017
CAR HAS A MANUAL 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE (ONCE UNDER WARRANTY FOR 5TH GEAR GRIND @ 45K MILES AND AGAIN AFTER FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED WITH < 30K ON NEW TRANSMISSION). I HAD TO PAY OVER $2K OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AS HYUNDAI WOULD NOT WARRANTY IT. THE 6SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON DEFECT FOR ALL GENESIS COUPE MODELS, WITH MANY OWNERS NEEDING TO REPLACE IT MORE THAN ONCE AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
Oct 03, 2017
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH ONLY 35000 MILES ON IT, AND THE 5TH GEAR HAD ALREADY BEEN GRINDING. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS FOR A 2011 CAR TO HAVE TRANNY ISSUES THAT EARLY ON. I THEN TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI TO GET IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY REPLACED IT. BUT THERE ARE 100S OF PAGES OF FORUMS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, NOW WITH ONLY 43000 MILES I CAN FEEL 5TH STARTING TO GRIND ON UPSHIFTS AGAIN... I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION EVERY YEAR.

I HAD 53,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY MY STEERING WHEEL GOT STIFF AND TOOK AN EXIT. MY VEHICLE WAS IN SMOKE AND TOWED TO NEAR BY HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER. I WAS TOLD THAT TIMING BELT GOT BROKEN AND THAT IN-TURN CAUSED DAMAGE TO ENGINE PISTONS. HYUNDAI DECLINED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE, AND SAID I HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS. I HAD TO SELL THE CAR FOR A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS, BECAUSE THEY ASKED ABOUT 7K TO FIX A REPLACEMENT ENGINE.
Sep 13, 2019
EVERY TIME I START MY CAR IN THE MORNING I GET THIS LOUD CLINKING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS RATTLING INSIDE THE ENGINE AND SOUNDS LIKE THE TIMING CHAIN . I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO FIX THIS I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HYUNDAI BEFORE AND THEY CHANGED OUT THE TENSION OR PULLEY AND OTHER THINGS I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET HER BRAND NEW COMPRESSOR AFTER I JUST GOT A BRAND NEW COMPRESSOR I HAVE TRIED PUTTING FORCE AND 30 MOTOR OIL ON REGULAR INTERVALS BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO QUIET THAT LOUD NOISE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON AND HYUNDAI HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE NOISE WAS.

ENGINE SOMETIMES CUTS OFF WHEN I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAY ON. ENGINE STARTS WHEN I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH START BUTTON WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. NEW SPARK PLUGS AND AIR CLEANER AND FUEL INJECTION CLEANER HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE.

THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER, AND ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALER, IT APPEARS THAT THE "ENGINE IS LOCKED UP". PRIOR TO THE CAR JUST STOPPING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, NONE OF THE ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS CAR HAS 23,000 MILES. THE MECHANICS HAVE CONTACTED THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT WHO HAVE REQUESTED PICTURES OF THE OIL PAN. I RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE EXACTLY ONE MONTH BEFORE THIS INCIDENT AND NO ONE AT JIFFY LUBE NOTED ANY PROBLEMS.

I BOUGHT 4 NEW MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S PLUS EARLY LAST YEAR. I HAVE PUT APPROXIMATELY 30K MILES ON THEM. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO MY TIRE SHOP AND THE MANAGER TOLD ME MICHELIN WAS OFFERING MONEY TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I ASKED IF IT WAS A RECALL AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT. HE INSPECTED MY TIRES AND SHOWED ME THE TIRES WERE ACTUALLY FLAKING AND I COULD SEE TIRE CORDS SHOWING ON CERTAIN PARTS OF THE OUTER EDGE. I LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TIRE AND I COULD NOT FIND ANY MENTION OF THIS TIRE. WHY NOT? HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN ADDRESSED AND VERY FRUSTRATING TO THINK ACTION IS NOT BEING TAKEN. WAKE UP FOLKS!! I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS COMPLAINED. I WENT ONTO THE MICHELIN WEBSITE AND SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE ON THEIR SITE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE? A FATALITY BEFORE YOU "SPRING" INTO ACTION? *TR

ON DECEMBER 22ND, 2015, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR INTO MY PARKING LOT AT MY OFFICE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELARATE ON ITS OWN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THAT THE ENGINE HAS ACCELARATED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN CONTINUED TO REV HIGHER WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK. IF IT WAS NOT FOR SOME QUICK THINKING, I ALMOST WENT INTO A WALL OF THE GARAGE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE COULD HEAR THE REVING OF THE CAR. HE ASKED IF I FELT SAFE DRIVING IT TO THE DEALER WHICH I DID. ALL THOUGHOUT THE RIDE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELARATE ON ITS OWN. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, THE CAR STOPPED DOING THIS. THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR 5 WEEKS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE AT HYUNDAI TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN

The brake lines and fuel lines were corroded. The corrosion of the brake lines would lead to brake failure and the corrosion of the fuel lines would lead to a fire. The Hyundai dealer was the first to find the brake problem and after inspection by my mechanic, the fuel lines were also found to be corroded. I took my car in for a recall service at the dealer and after the service my brake light would illuminate when decelerating(with or without brakes being applied) .

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed during a rainstorm, there was water leaking into the interior of the vehicle through the rear windshield. The contact observed mold developing throughout the interior of the vehicle. Later, the contact stated that upon attempting to start the vehicle, there was a fuel odor inside the vehicle. After a visual inspection, the contact observed fuel leaking in the engine compartment. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the fuel rail after observing a crack in the fuel rail. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 152,000.

SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
1 complaint
The HECU has been malfunctioning in my car for over a year now. It is an open recall for my make, model and year of car. I took it to Bob Rohrman Indy Hyundai and they diagnosed the failed part. This part affects my ABS. There are currently two warning lights on one for the ECS which is the traction control stabilizer and the ABS light is on. Meaning the use of the breaking system is limited and not working properly. I have asked the corporate Hyundai to uphold the recall warranty but I was advised they would not cover this because my vehicle has a rebuilt title. I drive my vehicle on a daily basis and I’m terrified of my brakes going out. The corrosion from the fluid is what causes the HECU to malfunction and it is so scary to think about. This problem was diagnosed and first reported to my his dealership on 6/23/2022.

I was driving home on January 1, 2023 at 5 AM at about 60 mph on an interstate when I heard a sound come from the back of my car and then looked into the rearview mirror and smelled smoke and saw fire flames in my rear and side mirrors. I tried to use my brakes to stop my car, but the brakes would not work, so I took it out of Drive and put it into park… which slowed the car down and I was able to exit the car right before it burst into flames. The car is now a total loss.

While driving on the highway at 65MPH the driver front tire wables, the tires feel unsafe and not stable. When going over long road cracks on the highway the whole car wabbles and if i dont grab the stearing wheel really hard to not loose control of the vehicle. The ESC light its always on so i know the traction or stability control is not working properly, also the TPM light is also not working because its always been on since purchased the car.

I HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING STOPPING ALL TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE SPECIFIC PART IS THE WIPER MOTOR AND THE TRANSMISSION BROKE ACCORDING TO COLUMBIA HYUNDAI. THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT UNDER STATED EXTENDED WARRANTY. SERVICE MANAGER STATED IF I CAUSED A WRECK IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CAMPAIGN RECALL. THE RECALL AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS 140. BUT YET THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AT JUST A LITTLE PAST DUSK WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. AT FIRST I ASSUMED THAT MY WINDSHIELD HAD BEEN HIT BY A LARGE ROCK OR SOMETHING THAT HAD BEEN KICKED UP OFF THE ROAD AND I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN LOOKING FOR ANY SIGN OF DAMAGE. I SAW NOTHING AND CONTINUED DRIVING. A MINUTE LATER I HEAR A WHISTLING NOISE. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT'S COMING FROM, I EVENTUALLY PARTIALLY SLIDE OPEN THE ROOF PANEL AND DISCOVER THAT THERE IS A GAPING HOLE IN THE SUNROOF. THE MORE I DRIVE, AND THE MORE BUMPS I HIT, MORE AND MORE GLASS KEEPS FALLING. FORTUNATELY, MY SLIDING ROOF PANEL WAS CLOSED, SO IT PREVENTED ANY OF THE GLASS FROM FALLING ON ME. IT COULD BE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE FOR GLASS TO RANDOMLY SHATTER A DRIVER WHO IS ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, IT HAD JUST STOPPED RAINING 30 MINUTES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM, AND THEY'RE GOING TO FIX IT IN A FEW DAYS, BUT IT'S GOING TO COST MORE THAN MY $500 DEDUCTIBLE. ONE ESTIMATE I RECEIVED WAS FOR $600. I'VE KNOWN VERY MANY PEOPLE WHO DRIVE CARS WITH SUNROOFS AND HAVE OWNED PRIOR, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING ON OTHERS. HERE'S HOPING IT DOESN'T RAIN BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN IT'S FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH IN THE LANE, THE CAR ON THE LEFT LANE HIT THE REAR BODY AND TIRE OF DRIVER SIDE, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STOP EVEN AFTER THE IMPACT. AFTER THE COLLISION, I PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, BUT IT KEPT MOVING, EVEN INCREASED ITS SPEED UP TO 60 MPH, AND TURNED INTO THE DIFFERENT DIRECTION. ALSO THE WHEEL WAS STUCK BY ITSELF AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ANYWHERE WITH MY HANDS. IT WENT OFF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY CONTROL. 20 YEARS OLD TOYOTA CAMRY WAS ABLE TO STOP AT THE SPOT OF COLLISION, BUT HYUNDAI GENESIS COULDN'T. THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE WERE BOTH STUCK AND UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED AND CRASHED INTO THE ELECTRIC POLE. THE AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED, AND HYUNDAI GENESIS WAS TOTALED. IN 2014, THE BRAKE RECALL SERVICE WAS RECEIVED TWO TIMES FROM THE DEALER. THERE MUST BE THE MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE BRAKE, SPEED CONTROL, AND THE WHEEL WHICH CAUSED THIS TOTAL LOSS.
