ENGINE CRANKS NORMALLY ATTEMPTING TO START. WHEN FAILED TO START, THE 'START' BUTTON IS PUSHED TO STOP THE ATTEMPT. TRIED AGAIN. TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS TO FINALLY START. ONCE STARTED THE ENGINE REVS AT HIGH RPM'S. WHEN PUT IN 'D' THE CAR LURCHES AND ACCELERATES WITHOUT PUSHING GAS PEDAL. IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AFTER STARTING AND RESTARTED, FAST ACCELERATION IS ELIMINATED. CAR HAS ULTIMATELY STARTED, BUT THE FEAR IS IT WILL GET WORSE AND ULTIMATELY FAIL TO START STRANDING THE DRIVER. CAR RUNS PERFECTLY IN NORMAL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ALMOST DAILY FOR 90 DAYS. HYUNDAI SERVICE: TAKEN TO HYUNDAI ON TWO OCCASIONS. THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES GENERATED. STUMPED! CAN DO NOTHING IF PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED BY SERVICE TECH! KEEPING QUIET? NEW CONDITION 4/26/18! CAR HAS SHUT DOWN TWICE AT A STOP LIGHT, 4/26 AND 4/29. FEAR OF SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN TRAFFIC AS REPORTED IN USER FORUMS. HYUNDAI USER FORUMS: DOZENS OF OWNERS DISCLOSE THAT THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ACROSS YEARS AND MODELS. REPORT THAT HYUNDAI DENIES THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH PROBLEMATIC STARTING AND STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS! OWNERS REPORT FEAR OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE CAR STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY, ENTERING TRAFFIC OR MAKING TURNS ACROSS TRAFFIC.

I HAVE COMPLAINED AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES CONCERNING A SUDDEN ACCELERATION FROM THE STOP POSITION. THE ENGINE REVS UP AND THE CAR TAKES OFF WITHOUT MY DOING IT. I'VE REPORTED THIS IN 2014, AND 2016 - NOW I SEE THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION BUT MY CAR ISN'T ONE OF THEM? REALLY...

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE TURNING ON TO A MAIN STREET FROM A HIGHWAY. WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR ENTERED LIMP MODE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY ENGINE RESPONSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT DO MORE THAN ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAYS CAR HAS CODES FOR FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND IT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE DAYS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK MY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. NO COOL AIR FROM THE SYSTEM. THE TECHNICIAN SAID A PIECE OF GLASS AND WIRE RESEMBLING PART OF A TIRE RETREAD HAD SOMEHOW PASSED THROUGH THE GRILL AND DAMAGED THE CONDENSER. THUS, FREON LEAKED OUT OVER TIME RESULTING IN LACK OF COOL AIR. THE SERVICE CLERK SAID HE HAD HEARD THAT THIS HAD OCCURRED IN THE PAST WITH OTHER HYUNDAI GENESIS. INTERESTING HOW THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE CAR OR THE GRILL. DOES NOT SOUND FEASIBLE THAT A PIECE OF GLASS (2 INCHES BY 1 INCH WITH QUARTER INCH THICKNESS) AND WIRE (7 INCHES) COULD SNEAK THROUGH GRILL AND HIT WITH VELOCITY TO DAMAGE A CONDENSER WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE GRILL. ARE GRILL SLATS TOO WIDE OR IS THERE A LACK OF UNDER CARRIAGE PROTECTION? THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE GLASS AND WIRE AND SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS THIS ESTIMATED $1000 ITEM WAS NOT COVERED BY THE HYUNDAI 5 YEAR, 60 THOUSAND MILE WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS SEDAN I BEGAN TO FEEL DIZZY AND LIGHT HEADED. MY HEART BEGAN TO RACE AND MY HANDS BECAME NUMB AND TINGLY. THIS ALSO HAPPENED BRIEFLY YESTERDAY ( 8/1/11 ). UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. A FRIEND DROVE ME TO THE ER WHERE I DESCRIBED MY SYMPTOMS TO THE DOCTOR ON DUTY. AFTER DRAWING MY BLOOD, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY CO - CARBON MONOIXDE, LEVEL WAS HIGHER THAN NORMAL - 3 TIMES NORMAL. I HAD BEEN IN THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS TODAY. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO A HOTEL, I HAD TO PUT ALL WINDOWS DOWN AND SUNROOF OPEN BECAUSE OF THE GAS VAPORS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HYUNDAI OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY ARE TOWING THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE. *KB

THIS IS A RECURRING HESITATION PROBLEM. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN MAKING A TURN INTO TRAFFIC. THE HESITATION IS SIGNIFICANT. IN SOME CASES THERE IS AN ACCELERATION PAUSE OF 1-2 SECONDS. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE BUT ITS LACK OF PREDICTABILITY IS A PROBLEM IN AND OF ITSELF. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING REAR ENDED BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD JUST NOT MOVE WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. ALSO, WHEN THE CAR WINDOWS ARE UP AND THE CAR SITS IN THE SUN FOR A FEW HOURS THE CENTRAL NAV AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OVER HEATS AND WILL NOT FUNCTION UNTIL IT COOLS OFF (MAYBE 20 MINUTES). IN THE MEANTIME, BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK, TEMPERATURE CONTROLS DO NOT WORK AND THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION.

SMALL PEBBLE WENT THROUGH THE FRONT GRILL WHILE DRIVING MY HYUNDAI GENESIS 2010 MODEL AND DAMAGED CONDENSER COSTING ME $800. THIS WAS NOT COVERED FOR WARRANTY AND THE SAD PART IS THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME ANYWHERE AGAIN. HYUNDAI GENESIS HAS NO PROTECTION ON FRONT GRILL WITH HUGE SPACING. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I STILL HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONING IN MY BRAND NEW HYUNDAI GENESIS. *TR
