2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Problems

The brakes on my 2010 Genesis Coupe suddenly stopped working while on the freeway, luckily I was able to swerve into the carpool lane and avoid an accident. Upon taking it to Tuttle Click Hyundai I was told a master technician had to review it, which would cost $200 just to look at it. When the technician looked at the car, I was told it needed a new Brake Booster. Hyundai apparently no longer makes this part so the dealership had to locate an aftermarket replacement which costs about $1,100. I did note to the dealership that there was recalls on other 2010 Genesis cars for similar issues, but was told the recall was for the sedans, not the coupe and that they/Hyundai would not cover it. Upon installing the brake booster and bleeding the brakes, it was found that I also need a new ABS Module, which will cost up to $4,000 to find and install. Another user posted this same issue to the NHTSA in October 2022.

On September 22, 2022 while traveling at about 65 mph on state highway 57 in CA, I came upon a sudden group of cars hitting their brakes and had to slam on my brakes but my 2010 Genesis Coupe did not stop and I had to swerve into an entrance lane on my right to avoid a serious collision. Fortunately there were no cars entering the highway on that entrance. I was then able to drive a short distance home. On May 26, 2022 I had my car serviced including the brakes by Service Auto Care and my car gave me no brake problems until this incident. On September 23 I brought my Genesis Coupe to Service Auto and explained what happened. The brakes worked fine on the way to the shop. They tested the brakes and said that the ABS module was defective but it was just put under a 15 year extended warranty by Hyundai on May 19, 2022 and to take it to the closest dealer. The dealer, Russell Westbrook Hyundai of Anaheim told me only the sedan was covered. This dangerous defect could occur at any time and cause a severe accident. I hope this report is helpful to the NHTSA and the defective part is replaced without charge. The dealership charged me $205 for an estimate, then wanted $2200 to re-do the brakes and then approximately $4000 to replace the ABS module. I have documents to back up everything I have presented.

I FEEL LIKE THE TRANSITION ON THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT LOCKS YOU OUT OF SECOND GEAR AT HIGH RPMS WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS IN SOME SITUATIONS. ALSO FROM 5TH AND 6TH GEAR GRIND AND ARE HARD TO ACTUATE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 32,500 MILES. FROM DAY 1 THERE WAS A GRIND GOING INTO 5TH GEAR. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NO TSB OR RECALL WAS EVER SENT OUT ABOUT IT. JUST A TSB TO CHANGE THE FLUID . AT 82,000 MILES THE 5TH GEAR SYNCHRO BROKE. I HAD TO BUY A USED TRANSMISSION FROM THE JUNK YARD AND HAD IT INSTALLED FOR $820 TOTAL INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION, LABOR AND FLUID. WHY WOULD THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE A 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, WHEN IT ONLY COVERS THE FIRST OWNER. AND WHY WOULD THEY KNOW ABOUT THE 5TH GEAR GRIND AND NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR SPEEDS UP ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR ALSO HAS REV HANG AND THE RPMS RISE BY ITS SELF AND STAYS THEIR. USUALLY BETWEEN 6500RPM. I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE IN ORDER FOR THE RPMS TO DROP SO ITS DOESN'T BLOW THE MOTOR. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH FOOT ON THE CLUTCH, IT LURCHED FORWARD HITTING A PARKING BARRIER. DEALER DENIED MECHANICAL CAUSES. FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR, IT HAS ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN, GOING TO THE MAX IN RPMS, AT RANDOM TIMES. I CAN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND IT WILL DRIVE ITSELF. WHEN I TRY TO COME TO A STOP, IT WILL ACCELERATE AND I HAVE TO COUNTER BY HITTING THE BRAKE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T "REPLICATE" IT. WHEN I ARGUED WITH THE MAN, HE SAID HE WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY WHEN THEY COULD REPLICATE IT, THOUGH THE WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED. I ASKED FOR SOMETHING IN WRITING, HE INITIALED THE WORK ORDER. ALSO, THE FRONT, UNDER THE BUMPER, IS WAY TOO LOW AND MADE OF WEAK MATERIAL, SO WHEN I HAVE TO GO OVER ANY KIND OF DIP, IT DRAGS, WHICH HAS CAUSED THE PIECE TO BREAK. THIS ALSO GOT UP INTO THE FENDER-WELL, WHICH CAUSED A HAZARD WITH MY TIRES. I AM STRESSED AND SCARED OF HAVING A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I AM CONSIDERING TRADING THE CAR IN, BUT WORRY FOR THE NEXT OWNER. I NO LONGER TRUST HYUNDAI. I FEEL LIKE MY SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY FOR THE COMPANY. THEY DO NOT SEARCH FOR THE CAUSE, JUST SEND ME BACK OUT IN A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING. THE CAR WILL NOT START NORMALLY AND WILL NOT SHIFT NORMALLY. A FUSS WILL FAIL OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HYUNDAI DEALER IDENTIFIED THAT THE HECU IS FAULTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR THREE MONTHS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND FOUND RODENT EXCREMENT, FOOD PARTICLES, AND NOTICED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS CHEWED THROUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOB BAKER HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 5285 CAR COUNTRY DR, CARLSBAD, CA 92008, (760) 929-4900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MECHANIC FAILED TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR COST $1,300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE'S WIRING HARNESS WAS SOY-BASED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, IT FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,773.

DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE GOING AROUND CURVE, CAR TURNED OUT AND SLID OFF THE ROAD, MAKING CONTACT WITH A TREE (REAR OF THE VEHICLE HIT THE TREE)

MY CAR WENT AIRBORNE WHEN I HIT A RAILROAD CROSSING WITH A STEEP DROP OFF, LANDED IN A DITCH AND FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES END OVER END, LANDING UPSIDE DOWN. I WAS AIRLIFTED TO AN AREA HOSPITAL. ONLY 1 OF THE 6 AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I LOST FEELING IN THE SIDE OF MY FACE WHERE MY HEAD BROKE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND ALMOST BLED OUT. I NOW HAVE SEIZURES AND WAS RECENTLY FIRED FROM MY JOB DUE TO HAVING 2 SEIZURES AT WORK. I HAVE ONLY WORKED PART TIME IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. IF THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED, I WOULD'VE WALKED AWAY UNINJURED. I WAS ALSO TRAPPED WHEN MY HAND WENT THROUGH THE TOP WINDOW. I WAS LEFT HANGING AND HAD TO HOLD MY FACE WITH MY FREE HAND TO STOP THE BLEEDING UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. IF TOP AIRBAGS WOULD'VE DEPLOYED, MY HAND WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CAUGHT UNDER THE VEHICLE. I EXPECTED ALL 6 AIRBAGS TO WORK WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH SHOULD'VE MADE ALL THESE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED.

vehicle makes loud rattling noise on startup, while driving engine stalls upon checking engine it continues to run but belts do not turn n has no power. Also steering rack leaks as well as steering pump, has water in tail lens, evaporating system check engine light is on. Vehicle was diagnosed by repair shop n referred to take to dealer ... the problems was confirmed by independent service center

The 2.0T engine failed and the vehicle is currently at Hyundai service department waiting on my warranty company to do an inspection of the engine. My safety was at risk as the engine failed during normal operation of the vehicle on a busy city street near a blind curve which other vehicles travel at high rates of speed. Hyundai Service department has confirmed the engine has failed which it needs to be replaced/rebuilt. Hyundai Service department has inspected the vehicle. Waiting on inspection from warranty company. There were no warning lights or symptoms prior to the engine failure. Thankfully I was not operating the vehicle on the expressway as I normally do on my way home which could have put me in a much more dangerous scenario when the engine failed. When the engine failed it started to effect other components in the vehicle, as I started to completely lose the ability to maneuver the vehicle putting myself in a dangerous situation.

THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN THE 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE IS VERY PROBLEMATIC. VERY OFTEN THE GEAR SELECTION IS REJECTED NOT ALLOWING THE OPERATOR TO UP SHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT. SECOND GEAR AND FIFTH GEAR ARE THE WORSE. GRINDING OFTEN OCCURS WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR OR 5TH GEAR. I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE 495 IN MASSACHUSETTS WHEN MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION SIMPLY STARTED TO GRIND. WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 50-60MPH AN OPERATOR NEEDS TO SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 5TH AND I COULD NOT. I HAD TO QUICKLY DOWNSHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR TO TRY AND KEEP ACCELERATING. ANY SHIFTING INTO 5TH GEAR AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3,400 RPMS RESISTANCE AND OFTEN GRINDING WILL OCCUR. THIS CAN VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, EXPECTING TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT HIGHER GEAR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DO SO. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALER AND "THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM". I TOOK THE SERVICE TECH FOR A RIDE AND THE CAR GROUND INTO 5TH, AND I WAS THEN TOLD "THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE TRANSMISSION". HYUNDAI DOES NOT WANT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, AND EVENTUALLY MANY GENESIS COUPE OWNERS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS WILL BE USING LEMON LAW PROTECTION TO HAVE THEIR CARS FIXED. *TR

VEHICLE: 2009-CURRENT HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE 2.0T/3.8 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. VEHICLE BUILD DATE: FEB 2009 START OF INCIDENT: MAY 2009 ISSUE:MANUAL TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY FAILS CAUSING OFTEN UNSAFE SITUATIONS FOR DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. FAILURES INCLUDE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGE REQUESTED GEAR, FAILING TO DISENGAGE GEAR, GRINDING WHILE ENGAGING GEAR, GEARS STOP WORKING COMPLETELY, CLUTCH FAILS TO DISENGAGE OR ENGAGE (SOMETIMES STALLING VEHICLE). PERSONALLY CURRENTLY ON 3RD TRANSMISSION AND 2ND FLYWHEEL WHICH HAS ALSO RECENTLY FAILED. HYUNDAI HAS SO FAR BEEN WILLING TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND RELATED PARTS HOWEVER NO "FIX" CURRENTLY EXISTS. EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN BLAMING DRIVERS FOR CAUSING PROBLEMS HYUNDAIEVEN THOUGH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DRIVER PROVEN TO NOT BE CAUSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE WHENEVER IT RAINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT PUDDLES OF WATER FORMED ON THE FLOORS OF THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE SEATS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING PAINT DAMAGE AND CUTS ON MY HANDS. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH GOING STRAIGHT.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE A LOUD CLICKING/CLUNKING NOISE DURING TURNING, PRIMARILY COUNTER CLOCKWISE. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED CLOCKSPRING (1ST VISIT), LUBRICATED STEERING COMPONENTS(2ND VISIT) AND HAS NOW DENIED A "PROBLEM AT ALL" PER THEIR DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICES MANAGER. NO ONE IS UNABLE TO COME TO A RESOLUTION AS TO WHY THIS NOISE IS OCCURRING, OR WHAT IT CAUSING IT TO OCCUR TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS CREATING A DRIVING HAZARD ON THE ROAD OR NOT. THEY ARE ALSO UNABLE TO DEMONSTRATE TO ME THAT IT DOESN'T POSE A DRIVING HAZARD. DUE TO THE NOISES THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES, I AM UNEASY DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN FEAR OF LOSING COMPLETE STEERING ABILITY IN THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP, DISTRICT MANAGER, AND CONSUMER RELATIONS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ASSIST IN DETERMINING IF THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, OR POOR MANUFACTURING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE HOOD INDEPENDENTLY RELEASED IN AN OPEN POSITION . THE CONTACT CAUTIOUSLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CLOSED THE HOOD TIGHTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE HOOD LATCH WAS ADJUSTED EACH TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVER'S SEAT LIFT MOTOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING(THE SEAT WAS NOT BEING ADJUSTED AT THE TIME) CAUSING IT TO SUDDENLY DROP TO THE FLOOR. WHEN THE SEAT FELL, IT LANDED OFF OF THE TRACK AND WAS NOT SECURED-THE SEAT WAS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE, AND COULD BE EASILY MOVED FORWARD, SIDEWAYS, AND LIFTED BY HAND. BASICALLY THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. THE PART IS ON ORDER AND WILL BE REPLACED UPON ARRIVAL AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN TAMPA, FL. COURTESY HYUNDAI HAS THE BROKEN PART. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE IT WENT OUT OF WARRANTY (IRONICALLY). FIRST IT WAS THE CAR WOULDN'T START DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BETWEEN THE ALARM SYSTEM AND KEY FOB. THE STARTER WAS THE NEXT TO GO. MOST RECENTLY THE FUEL PUMP WENT LITERALLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. FORTUNATE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY OFF THE ROAD AND AVOIDED COLLUSION AND POSSIBLE PHYSICAL INJURY. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS THAT THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR, NO DASHBOARD WARNINGS, NO USUAL PERFORMANCE. THE CAR WAS FINE ONE SECOND AND COMPLETELY DEAD THE NEXT. AFTER INCURRING $300 IN TOWING CHARGES, FIRST TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE HIS COMPUTER COULDN'T READ THE HYUNDAI CODES, THEN TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. HYUNDAI CLAIMS IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. I'LL REMAIN SKEPTICAL UNTIL THEY CONFIRM THE CAR IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. I FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPREHEND HOW A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT IS IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED SHOULD HAVE THE DEGREE OF PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WILL NOT BE KEEPING THE CAR FOR LONG AND WILL NOT BE CONTINUING MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HYUNDAI. UNFORTUNATE SINCE I HAVE BEEN A HYUNDAI OWNER SINCE 2001.

THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE. THE CAR HANDLES ALL BUMPS HORRIBLY AND HAS "BOTTOMED OUT" QUITE A NUMBER OF TIMES, LEADING TO THE CRACKING AND BREAKING OFF OF THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT BUMPER/WHEEL WELL COMPONENTS, CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAD TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND STOP AT A HOME CENTER AND PATCH IT WITH DUCT TAPE. SINCE THEN I HAVE ASKED OTHER OWNERS AND HAVE FOUND ABOUT SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS. I AM AN ADULT 53 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ANY CAR HARD AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN NUMEROUS DISCUSSION GROUPS ETC. SO I AM SURE THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE. WHAT RESPONSIBILITY DOES A MANUFACTURER HAVE IN A SITUATION SUCH AS THIS? THIS CAR WAS TOP OF THE LINE AND COST $35,000.00. *TR

CAR PULLS TO RIGHT WITH FACTORY ALIGNMENT. *TR

I OWN A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE. IT HAS MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 4200 MILES AND STILL EXPERIENCES PROBLEMS (LURCHING WHEN PUT IN GEAR). THE PAINT HAS HAD TO BE REFINISHED, THE BLUETOOTH RADIO FUNCTION IS INTERMITTENTLY BROKEN, TRACTION CONTROL DOES NOT WORK ON OCCASION (DASH ILLUMINATOR LIGHT INDICATION). I HAVE REPEATEDLY FILED COMPLAINTS WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE REGARDING THE TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE. AFTER FILING THE INITIAL COMPLAINT AND FOLLOWING UP 4 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A MONTH, I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF, AND CANNOT BE REACTIVATED (PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC WHEN WE'VE HAD SO MUCH SNOW). THE BLUETOOTH RADIO ISSUE STEMS FROM THE RADIO PLAYING WHILE THE PHONE IS CONNECTED. I CANNOT HEAR THE CALLER, BUT THEY CAN HEAR ME AND THE RADIO. THE RADIO SHOULD BE OFF WHEN THE PHONE IS ENGAGED. MOST OF THE TIME, I JUST CAN'T HEAR THE CALLER BUT THEY CAN HEAR ME. *TR

ONE OF MY AUTOMOTIVE FORUM MEMBER EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUE WITH HIS HYUNDAI GENESIS 2 DOOR CAR, 2010 MODEL. THE ISSUE WAS BELIEVED TO BE CAUSED BY VDC(VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL SOFTWARE) THAT HYUNDAI MOTOR IN SOUTH KOREA ADMITTED BUT REFUSED TO DO ANY ACTION AGAINST THIS ISSUE. THE HYUNDAI CAR, GENESIS, CAN BE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. THE ENGINE RPM WAS RISEN UPTO 6,000 RPM WITHOUT PRESSING THE PEDAL AND THE RPM NEVER DROPPED AGAIN. HYUNDAI R&D CENTER FOUND THE CAR HAD DIFFERENT SIZE OF WHEEL AT THE FRONT SIDE. THE OWNER THEN WITHDREW THE COMPLAINT AGAINST THE HYUNDAI MOTOR INC IN SOUTH KOREA. BUT I WANT NHTSA NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OTHER DRIVERS IN USA CAN EXPERIENCE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THIS MIGHT CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS IF THE FRONT TIRE LOSE AIR PRESSURE. THE HYUNDAI MOTOR SEEMS TO HIDE THIS ISSUE WITHOUT DOING RECALLS. *TR

ON THE HEADLIGHTS THE UP AND DOWN ARROWS EMBOSSED INTO THE PLASTIC HOUSING ARE BACKWARDS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME NUMEROUS TRIES AT ADJUSTMENT AND HAS INTERNALLY PUT THE PROJECTOR ASSEMBLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY. BOTH SIDES ARE REVERSED.
