2011 Hyundai Genesis Problems

The HECU has been malfunctioning in my car for over a year now. It is an open recall for my make, model and year of car. I took it to Bob Rohrman Indy Hyundai and they diagnosed the failed part. This part affects my ABS. There are currently two warning lights on one for the ECS which is the traction control stabilizer and the ABS light is on. Meaning the use of the breaking system is limited and not working properly. I have asked the corporate Hyundai to uphold the recall warranty but I was advised they would not cover this because my vehicle has a rebuilt title. I drive my vehicle on a daily basis and I’m terrified of my brakes going out. The corrosion from the fluid is what causes the HECU to malfunction and it is so scary to think about. This problem was diagnosed and first reported to my his dealership on 6/23/2022.

Brakes stop working randomly. Press pedal down and there is very little braking power. Had to pump brakes and limp home. Came back after sitting a while. This has happened several times - 6/7.

When the car gets wet, it sends my dashboard lights flashing, and I’m able to put the car in gear without stepping on the brake, I brought it to numerous of Honda dealerships and other mechanical shops, and they are undetermined to find the cause

Headlights will intermittently flicker off for several seconds when using turn signal. I understand this is already noted in TSB 20-BE-009H

THE CAR WAS PARKED (NOT RUNNING OR MOVING) IN AN OPEN AIR GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. I WAS IN THE GROCERY STORE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES AND CAME OUT TO FIND A CROWD AND A FIRE CREW WHO HAD JUST PUT OUT THE FIRE IN THE HOOD AREA OF MY CAR. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE CAR BUT THEY ARE ON MY PHONE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEND THEM TO COMPUTER.

While driving on the highway at 65MPH the driver front tire wables, the tires feel unsafe and not stable. When going over long road cracks on the highway the whole car wabbles and if i dont grab the stearing wheel really hard to not loose control of the vehicle. The ESC light its always on so i know the traction or stability control is not working properly, also the TPM light is also not working because its always been on since purchased the car.

THE POWER-STEERING IS LEAKING FLUID AND THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN OCTOBER 2016 WHEN THE CAR HAD 25,822 MILES, AND HAPPY HYUNDAI REPLACED THE RACK SET AND THE POWER STEERING LINE. THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED IN SEPTEMBER 14, 2019 WHEN THE CAR HAD 51,784 MILES, AND NAPLETON-RIVER OAKS HYUNDAI SAID THE CAR IS LEAKING POWER-STEERING FLUID, AND WHEN I DROVE THE CAR BEFORE TAKING IT IN FOR REPAIRS, I NOTICED DIFFICULTY IN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE A SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC FROM NAPLETON HYUNDAI BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND THEY DISCOVERED THE ISSUE AFTER I LEFT. I ALSO CONTACTED HYUNDAI'S NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR THEY WILL FORWARD TO THEIR TECHNICAL OFFICE.

MY TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. REPLACED TAIL LIGHT SWITCH.DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHEN ENGAGING THE TURN SIGNAL WHEN ON THE ON POSITION ONLY ( NOT THE AUTO POSITION) LIGHT WILL REMAIN OFF FOR BETWEEN 1 AND 10 SECONDS. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN MOVING OR STOPPED. THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE SWITCH AND JUST TOUCHING IT CAN CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT.

The car stops while driving and all the lights on the dash lights up. Happened a couple of times in the last 2 days, both the times the speed was around 20-30 mph. I am really worried about the issue and called the closest Hyundai dealer at San Bruno, CA who gave an appointment in May to check it.

ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 14TH 2017, WHILE IN MOTION AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON A STATE ROUTE AT 45 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CEASED ALL OPERATIONS, JUST COMPLETELY CEASED TO FUNCTION. IT WAS DURING A RAINSTORM AT THE TIME EST 7:45AM MAINEVILLE, OHIO / MASON OHIO AREA TO VERIFY THE STORM WITH WEATHER CHANNEL, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WAS IN EFFECT. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING STOPPING ALL TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE SPECIFIC PART IS THE WIPER MOTOR AND THE TRANSMISSION BROKE ACCORDING TO COLUMBIA HYUNDAI. THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT UNDER STATED EXTENDED WARRANTY. SERVICE MANAGER STATED IF I CAUSED A WRECK IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CAMPAIGN RECALL. THE RECALL AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS 140. BUT YET THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AT JUST A LITTLE PAST DUSK WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. AT FIRST I ASSUMED THAT MY WINDSHIELD HAD BEEN HIT BY A LARGE ROCK OR SOMETHING THAT HAD BEEN KICKED UP OFF THE ROAD AND I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN LOOKING FOR ANY SIGN OF DAMAGE. I SAW NOTHING AND CONTINUED DRIVING. A MINUTE LATER I HEAR A WHISTLING NOISE. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT'S COMING FROM, I EVENTUALLY PARTIALLY SLIDE OPEN THE ROOF PANEL AND DISCOVER THAT THERE IS A GAPING HOLE IN THE SUNROOF. THE MORE I DRIVE, AND THE MORE BUMPS I HIT, MORE AND MORE GLASS KEEPS FALLING. FORTUNATELY, MY SLIDING ROOF PANEL WAS CLOSED, SO IT PREVENTED ANY OF THE GLASS FROM FALLING ON ME. IT COULD BE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE FOR GLASS TO RANDOMLY SHATTER A DRIVER WHO IS ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, IT HAD JUST STOPPED RAINING 30 MINUTES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM, AND THEY'RE GOING TO FIX IT IN A FEW DAYS, BUT IT'S GOING TO COST MORE THAN MY $500 DEDUCTIBLE. ONE ESTIMATE I RECEIVED WAS FOR $600. I'VE KNOWN VERY MANY PEOPLE WHO DRIVE CARS WITH SUNROOFS AND HAVE OWNED PRIOR, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING ON OTHERS. HERE'S HOPING IT DOESN'T RAIN BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN IT'S FIXED. *TR

Passenger side seat's active headrest auto deployed/broke when I was driving the car alone. This might be safety issue if driver seat headrest also breaks while driving.

THE HEADREST DISENGAGED INTO 2 PARTS AND HURT MY GIRLFIREND'S NECK.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES FAILS CAUSING UNSAFE SITUATIONS FOR DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. FAILURES INCLUDE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING REQUESTED GEAR, FAILING TO DISENGAGE GEAR, GRINDING WHILE ENGAGING GEAR. HYUNDAI HAS SO FAR BEEN WILLING TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND RELATED PARTS HOWEVER NO "FIX" CURRENTLY EXISTS. HYUNDAI EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN BLAMING DRIVERS FOR CAUSING PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DRIVER PROVEN TO NOT BE CAUSE. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF WARRANTY? HOW ABOUT THE DEPRECIATION, WITH A KNOW LEMON TRANSMISSION? *TR
