2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Problems

Sep 22, 2023 Manufacturer Recall Number251 NHTSA Recall Number23V651000 Recall Status: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available June, 2024 It has been 10 months since an alert from Hyundai to park this vehicle outside due to chance of fire. I need this car repaired or repurchased by Hyundai. 10 Moinths is far too long for a repair.

Re: [XXX] It has been 6 months since a recall notice was sent indicating: FIRE RISK WHEN PARKED As of 3/9/2024, the recall is still marked: REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE This is unacceptable. What are my options to get this resolved immediately? [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

All maintenance done on vehicle when needed however the vehicle stalled in traffic and almost caught on fire when driving it doesn’t take off like it should now vehicle is not drivable engine failure

AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY I SHIFTED OUT OF 6TH GEAR (70MPH) AND PRESSED THE BRAKES TAKING IT DOWN TO 40MPH. THE RPMS CONTINUED TO REV UP TO 6K AND BEYOND. THE BRAKES DID RESPOND, SO I FELT THERE WASN'T IMMEDIATE DANGER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED MY CAR BY TURNING OFF THE KEY. TURNING THE CAR BACK ON, NOT IN ANY GEAR, NOT PRESSING THE GAS, THE RPMS BEGAN TO REV JUST AS HIGH AGAIN. SO I TURNED THE KEY OFF AGAIN. I DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN, STARTED THE CAR, IT BEGAN REVVING UP THE RPMS. I SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND IT BEGAN TO DECREASE IN RPM. THEN IT BECAME NORMAL. BUT NOW THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHEN I ACCELERATE THAT WAS NOT PRESENT BEFORE. IT'S LESS NOTICEABLE AT 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, BUT GETS MORE PRONOUNCED FROM 3RD GEAR ONWARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE ENGINE MAY NEED REPLACED. I DID FIND THERE WAS A REPORT OF ENGINE PROCESSING FLAWS THAT COULD RESULT IN A KNOCKING NOISE ON VARIOUS NEWS SITES BUT NOTHING OFFICIAL. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 40K~ MILES. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2011 AS I BOUGHT IT HOT OFF THE LOT AT 6MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES USING SYNTHETIC OIL ONLY. IT'S MINT. NO REASON FOR THIS TO BE OCCURRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GEWEKE FORD (871 E ONSTOTT RD, YUBA CITY, CA 95991 (530) 821-2121), BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V489000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE TAIL LIGHTS GET FILLED WITH WATER/CONDENSATION. I HAD ONE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT AT 60,000 MILES IT'S NO LONGER COVERED AND BOTH LIGHTS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GENESIS COUPES OF ALL YEARS. THE OWNER FORUMS ARE FILLED WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

The dealership was saying this recall was done but it was not and the problem still persists and I have the airbag/rearbelt light permanently on: ​**Passenger Airbag OCS Sensor (2016): A loose electrical connector under the front passenger seat can prevent the passenger airbag from deploying properly in a crash. This problem still persists as I had the car on diagnostics and they 3 codes come up for it. This needs ro be fixed ASAP as the recall did not take or was not done and falsified . I bought the car in 2016 and not so long after the lights came on but I am not too sure as to when the actually date it popped back on but I will make my best assumption of when. I took the car on and off the road because I have a truck as well so im trying to grt this taken care of as soon as I can since it might not pass inspection because the recall did not take or malfunctioning again, either one.
