2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Problems

The contact’s son owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The contact stated the brake light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who performed a pressure test and determined that the ABS module had failed due to a leak. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The contact stated that brake fluid was added for the brake light to turn off. The dealer informed the contact the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,444.

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) .

Part number 82655-2M000 door handle base broke. This makes it so the door cannot be opened from the outside. If I were in an accident and my door was crushed no one could open the other door to get me out. This same pet was in a safety recall for a different model of theirs.

The Engine has Rod Knock

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
