2010 Hyundai Genesis Problems

Brakes went completely out while driving, absolutely terrifying. Pedal went straight to the floor and wouldn't stop. I had to manually downshift until it was under 5 mph and then it would barely stop.

While attempting to brake on exit ramp off an interstate highway, the brake pedal was depressed almost to the floorboard with minimal slowing. The brakes were pumped several times with slowing vehicle speed. Fortunately, the exit ramp was long enough to allow a safe stop. Pedal remains soft and spongy. No warning lights are on. Brakes functioned normally until this incident at 138,200 miles. However, master cylinder was replaced at 102,000 miles for a similar problem at an independent auto shop. I am awaiting a dealer repair time. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

HELLO NHTSA ADMINISTRATOR, I BOUGHT A NEW HYUNDAI GENESIS IN MARCH 2010. AROUND AUGUST 2010, I HAD A SMALL FENDER BENDER IN THE PARKING LOT. TO KEEP WARRANTY INTACT ON THE CAR, HYUNDAI INSISTED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE CAR BE REPLACED, WHICH I DID FOR APPROXIMATELY $5000. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC ITEMS GO BAD IN THE CAR. I REPLACED SOME OF THESE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. BUT THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE WITH SOME EXPENSIVE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS GOING BAD OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, THESE COMPONENTS SHOULD NOT GO BAD OVER THE LIFE OF THE CAR, AND CERTAINLY NOT AT A FREQUENCY THAT THEY HAVE FAILED IN MY CAR. I ATTRIBUTE THESE FAILURES TO BAD/DEFECTIVE JOB DONE DURING WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT. BUT HYUNDAI HAS REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BELOW IS A LIST OF THE BAD COMPONENTS, APPROXIMATE DATE OF THE COMPONENT GOING BAD, WHETHER IT IS REPLACED/FIXED AND APPROXIMATE EXPENSE TO FIX THEM 1. TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL--2015--REPAIRED AS PART OF WARRANTY 2. POWER SWITCH ASSEMBLY DRIVER'S SEAT--JAN 2016--$236.19--PAID OUT-OF-POCKET TO GET IT REPLACED 3. JOG DIAL ASSEMBLY--OCT 2016--$1031.70--PAID OUT-OF-POCKET TO GET IT REPLACED 4. FRONT CABIN DOME LIGHT ASSEMBLY--FEB 2017--$376.91--PAID OUT-OF-POCKET TO GET IT REPLACED 5. SMART CRUISE CONTROL--MAR 2017--NOT REPLACED--DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A QUOTE OF ~$4500 TO REPLACE 6. PASSENGER CABIN DOME LIGHT ASSEMBLY--AUG 2017--NOT REPLACED--$4500 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE 7. MULTI DISC CD PLAYER--FEB 2018--NOT REPLACED--$1000 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE HYUNDAI FOR THIS MATTER AND FORCE THEM TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. AS A CONSUMER, I FEED CHEATED AND BEING FORCED TO DOUBLE PAY FOR REPAIRS - ONCE FOR THE WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT AND NOW FOR ALL PROBLEMS ATTRIBUTED TO IT. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I-10 W WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH, HAD TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPH BEHIND TRAFFIC THAT WAS SLOWING DOWN AND CAME TO COMPLETE HALT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED, ON RELEASING BRAKE AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO PARK POSITION AND TURNED OFF ENGINE AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO BE ON STARTER MODE EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE HAD STARTED. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE CAR RESTARTED BUT THE GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. MOVED THE SHIFT TO SHIFTRONIC MODE BUT THE CAR WOULD STILL NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. HAD TO CALL IN A TOW COMPANY AND WAIT IN THE CAR FOR OVER 30 MINUTES OF HARROWING EXPERIENCE IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE 4 INSTANCE WHEN THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC IN A HIGHLY UNSAFE SITUATION. THE CAR DEALERS RESPONSE HAS BEEN UNSATISFACTORY. WONDER IF THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THIS HIGHLY UNSAFE FAILURE IN THE CAR. NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE ON THE ROAD WITH RISK OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) DISPLAYS ERRONEOUS TIRE PRESSURE READINGS DURING COLD WEATHER CLIMATES DESPITE HAVING THE CORRECT PSI OR ADDING AIR TO REACH AN ULTIMATE PSI READING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER MODELS OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES WITH THE TPMS FEATURE ACCORDING TO OTHER OWNERS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THE DEALER NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE ROTTED AND CRACKED. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT THE TIRES BE REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE TIRES AND THAT HE NEEDED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRES FOR ASSISTANCE.

WHILE DRIVING MY GENESIS 2010 SEDAN, THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THEN THE POWER STEERING DID NOT RESPOND. I WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE AND I HAD TO WRESTLE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL UNTIL I GOT HOME. THE SCARY PART WAS THAT I UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER STEERING DURING A TURN AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. LUCKILY, NO ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS NEAR AS I COMPLETED THE TURN ON THE OPPOSITE SLIDE OF THE STREET. I FORTUNATELY ARRIVE HOME, PARKED THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANICS. I LEARNED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AND SO DID THE BATTERY. LUCKLY, DURING THE TURN I DID NOT CRASH, BUT IT WAS VERY NERVOUS THE REST OF THE WAY.

TILT-TELESCOPE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED RAISING, CAUSING IT TO BOTH BLOCK VISIBILITY OF PART OF DASHBOARD AND LIMIT EGRESS FOR DRIVERS. WAS REPAIRED TWICE AND FAILED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. DEALER HAS REPLACED MODULE WHICH WAS REPUTED TO CORRECT PROBLEM, AND HAS CONFERRED WITH HYUNDAI, BUT IT RECURS IN THREE TO FOUR WEEKS. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT TO REPORT TO POLICE NOR WAS THERE DAMAGE.

HYUNDAI IS HAVING A REAL ISSUE WITH THEIR FUEL PUMPS. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR ITS 3RD FUEL PUMP AT 120K MILES. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS HOW THE PUMP GOES OUT WITH NO INDICATION OF AN ISSUE FROM THE CAR AT ALL. THIS TIME I WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION, HOWEVER THE 2ND INCIDENT IS MORE CONCERNING. THEN, I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 70-75 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND OF COURSE SO ALL OF THE OTHER CONTROLS FROM THE ENGINE. BECAUSE I HAD A FULL LOSS OF POWER, I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE INSIDE LANE AND I COULD MOVE OVER IN TIME TO GET TO THE SIDE SHOULDER. I LITERALLY COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AT 20 MPH. IF I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO WAY TO MOVE THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AND WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AT MAYBE 2 MILES AN HOUR AND BOTH MY FRONT HEADREST DISCHARGED.

I HAVE VISIT THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR SEVERAL TIMES MY CAR IS ONLY 27500 MILES THE POWER SEAT WOULD NOT BACK UP, I ENTER THE CAR WITH EXTREME DIFFICULTY, I HAVE TO RECLINE THE SEAT TO SEAT IN THE CAR IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION, NOT TO MENTION MY RIGHT KNEE TOUCHING THE DASHBOARD, IS BEEN MORE THAN 5 TIMES, HOPING TO NEVER HAVE A SMALL ACCIDENT BECAUSE IF THE AIR BACK ACTIVATES IN THE INCIDENT I WON'T BE WRITING IT IN A FUTURE. PLEASE HELP! IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME WHEN ADJUSTING YOUR CAR SEAT, THE ONLY WAY ITO FIX THE PROBLEM IS VISITING THE DEALER FOR WARRANTY SERVICE. PLEASE HELP!

THIS VEHICLE HAS A FEATURE WHERE THE DOOR MIRRORS ANGLE DOWN WHEN THE CAR GOES INTO REVERSE, AND THEN COMES BACK TO NORMAL VIEWING POSITION WHEN YOU CHANGE TO ANY OTHER GEAR (E.G. PARK, DRIVE). INTERMITTENTLY, ONE MIRROR (DRIVER OR PASSENGER) DOES NOT COME BACK UP. THE DRIVER WILL NOT LIKELY NOTICE THE MIRROR NOT RETURNING TO IT NORMAL VIEWING POSITION UNTIL HE USES THE MIRROR AGAIN, LIKE WHEN HE CHANGES LANES. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPENED ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES TO ME. I HAVE ALMOST SIDE SWIPED OTHER DRIVERS ON THREE OCCASIONS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NINE TIMES SO FAR, BUT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT. IT IS HARD TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN. MANY OTHER HYUNDAI GENESIS OWNERS HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.GENESISOWNERS.COM/HYUNDAI-GENESIS-FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=10483. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THERE WAS A FRACTURE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD THAT WAS CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO BECOME VISIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

THE TMPS LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. WEST BROAD HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN RICHMOND, VA. WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOT KNOWING WHY IT'S HAPPENING. THEY HAVE RESET IT BU TIT KEEPS COMING BACK ON.

I WAS TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY OF A SHOPPING CENTER WHEN I WAS REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. THE FORCE OF THE COLLISION CAUSED BOTH ACTIVE HEADRESTS TO LAUNCH. THE FORCE OF THE ACTIVE HEADREST HITTING THE BACK OF MY HEAD CAUSED A CONCUSSION AND FOR TWO DAYS A LOSS OF ALL MEMORIES GOING BACK APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS. I WAS HOSPITALIZED AND STAYED ONE NIGHT. MOST OF MY MEMORIES HAVE RETURNED BUT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO MEMORY OF THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT PRE, DURING, OR POST ACCIDENT. I AM HOME NOW BUT CANNOT DRIVE FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS AND I AM NOT ALLOWED TO TRAVEL ON BUSINESS BECAUSE OF CAUTION ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. THESE HEADRESTS ARE DANGEROUS. ANY MARGINAL PROTECTION THEY MIGHT PROVIDE IS NOT WORTH THE SUFFERING OF A CONCUSSION AND THE LOSS OF MEMORY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. WHAT IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER MY MEMORY OR WORSE YET, NOT ABLE TO CREATE NEW MEMORIES. FOR THE FIRST DAY I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, I COULD NOT REMEMBER A SINGLE THING I WAS TOLD NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WAS TOLD. I AM BEING TOLD BY HYUNDAI THAT THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE ACTIVE HEADRESTS WITH NORMAL HEADRESTS. THAT IS VERY FRIGHTENING. I DON'T WANT THOSE THINGS IN MY CAR. I LEARNED THROUGH EXPERIENCE HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE. *TR
