UNKNOWN, The car lose electricity, shutting down by itself, when I press start engine, or when I shut down engine, recently car shuts off while I drive it on highway, it didn't start until I jump start it, also it shows lights of ABS, and brakes auto hold, cruise control not working.
While driving approximately 35–40 mph, the steering wheel locked unexpectedly. My [XXX] child was in the vehicle at the time. I was nearly unable to control the vehicle, creating a serious risk of a crash or fatal injury. The vehicle has a long history of electrical problems including repeated battery failures and a prior transmission replacement. Due to the steering failure, the vehicle is unsafe to operate and has not been driven since the incident. No warning lights were observed prior to the steering failure. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The front RH and LH turn signal harness is defective. The turn signal bulbs burn out quickly even after replacing the bulb harness. When the bulbs are out you are unable to notify oncoming traffic that your vehicle is turning.I believe the dealer is aware of the issue. No inspections other than by the dealer. the vehicle does notify you the bulb is burned out by a rapid green turn signal light on the dash.
I have spent over thousands in 2024 in a small amount of time, going to multiple shops, trying to figure out issues. I have been told these models are known for having ECU and electrical issues. My car will not set off any codes. I have greatly maintained my vehicle. I have had my keys reprogrammed, 2 new batteries, 2 new alternators, all new 6 fuel injectors, new MAP sensor, all new spark plugs and plugs, had my engine and transmission inspected, and when I am in traffic WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE the immobilizer will set off and bog my car out in traffic and highways. This computer and electrical system is horrible and dangerous. The electrical is parasitic draining my alternator and battery although I have replaced twice in 2 month. No shop can figure out what is wrong with the ECU and electrical. It is draining my pockets, and putting my children and myself at saftely risk. I have done extensive research on this issue. I have seen many people, same car, same issue. Please help. My car will turn on and run fine. Put me in limp modes and even just bog out in traffic. I am very concerned.
I just purchased a used 2015 Genesis 3.8 Sedan and the BSD warning system intermittently comes on after driving at highway speed for less than an hour. It is unable to be reset and requires you to turn off the vehicle for the speed and proper indicators on the dash to be functional. This is a clearly a known manufacturer defect with all the threads being posted about the problem. The dealer is unable to replicate the problem, it requires highway driving of 30 minutes to an hour and has happened with the cruise set. It is not weather related, the car is pristine and clean and does not come on or is triggered by other vehicles. Due to not being able to see your status and other information on the dash until you pull off the road to turn the vehicle off this poses a serious safety threat when traveling at highway speed and not having your instruments to detect proper system performance. It is also not always safe/reasonable and convenient to pull off and turn the car off to reset the system only to have it come back on within the hour.
I visited Mission Hills Hyundai located at 10240 Sepulveda Bl, Mission Hills CA 91345 on Jul 31, 2024 for recall after appointment. I waited 2 & half hour, and Hyundai told me the recall service completed but not done. It was perfectly lying. Hyundai explained my car's break disc has problem and cut it and then put together, but only done for resurface. They charged $824 as a labor. Please confirm them and recall service was not doing even Hyundai sent recall service letters many times. Hyundai service is not good. Thank you.
While driving the following codes would flash: AEB, BSM, TPMS, Also while the AEB code would flash it would limit my acceleration weather on the highway or local driving. These issues were reported to Hyundai America Corporate and I have a active complaint as well as a open appointment with a local dealership on 1.4.22. Lastly I do have a video of this taking place
Upon driving many warning lights light up and make warning signals on the instrument dashboard. These warning lights light up at the same time or in succession and include: check bid system, tire pressure, check engine light, skid control, check bsd system, and others. In addition, brakes become sticky and steering is affected. Worse yet, car slows down on its own as it engages crash avoidance system.
The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the contact felt that the vehicle was rear ended, and the vehicle launched forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact mentioned the second time the failure occurred; the contact almost crashed into another vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer multiple times and the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000.
1.ENGINE WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN VEHICLE IN PARK. HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY. there was no warning. 2. LKAS warning light remains on. 3. Caution light remains on on the dash. 4. Anti-braking system highlights when immediate car in front of me makes a turn without me being close to it. The first thing the dealer asks is do I have extended warranty! They stated they couldn't get to the repair until maybe Thursday. I'm really afraid to drive my car.
BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING. AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED AND FIXED, THE WARNING IS BACK AFTER THREW DAYS. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT HYUNDAI DOES NOT WANT TO REPAIR OR MAKE BETTER. AFTER DRIVING FROM A ROAD TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY, ONCE I ARRIVED TO MY DESTINATION, THE BSD WARNING WAS DISPLAYED. NO DAMAGE, AND NO COLLISION.
VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT UP TO THE NEXT GEAR AND AND STARTED ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT BUT FAILING EVERY TIME AS IT PASSED 2000 RPMS. INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, AFTER AN EXTENDED TIME OF VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS THE BRAKES HAD TO BE APPLIED IN ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH AN INCOMING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LATER FAILED COMPLETELY AND ALL POWER FROM THE ENGINE WAS LOST AND STARTED RAPIDLY DECELERATING THEN FINALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. INSTRUMENT AND ELECTRIC POWER WAS STILL ON BUT THERE WAS NO POWER FROM THE ENGINE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THEN IT FINALLY HAD LIMITED POWER TO 45MPH
AT TIMES THE VECHICLE SURGES FORWARD WHEN CLOSE TO ANOTHER VECHICLE WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL. HEADS LIGHTS HAVE TURN OFF, ON, AUTOMATIC, LOW WITH OUT ANY HUMAN INTERACTION. NAVAGATION SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLANK
MY VEHICLE SHOWED SOLID CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHILE I WAS ON 101 FREEWAY AND AFTER EXITING TO CITY ROAD I COULD PARK AND READ THE ERROR CODE "P0880 POWER INPUT TO TCM", I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS INTERNAL TCM DEFECT. DEALER REPLACED THE TCM BUT THAT COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. AND THEY JUST RELEASED THE CAR AS IS. AFTER A SHORT WHILE MY CAR HAD BECOME UNABLE TO REVERSE, AND WHEN SET THE GEAR TO REVERSE, MY CAR MOVES FORWARD TO MAKE A VERY LIFE THREATENING. I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICE BUT THEY DIDN'T HELP. NOW, I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE AND BECAUSE BECAUSE I'M NOT A MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHILE THE DEALER AND THE CORPORATE DON'T HELP. I FOUND OUT THAT THE MODEL OF MY CAR IS A SUBJECT TO RECALL FOR GEAR PROBLEM WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I FACE NOW. IT SEEMS THAT BOTH OF THE DEALER AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL BUT THEY DID NOT EVEN MENTIONED IT TO ME UNTIL I FOUND IT BY MYSELF. A CAR LIKE THAT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT RUNS FORWARD ONLY EVEN WHEN THE GEAR IS REVERSE AND IF STOPS I CANNOT EVEN PUSH IT BACKWARDS. A CAR WITH THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS FOR MY COMMUNITY. PLEASE HELP TO FORCE THAT COMPANY EITHER REPLACE THE CAR FOR ME, REPURCHASE OR REPAIR IT TO FULL OPERATIONAL STATUS..
MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY OPERATIONAL BUT SUDDENLY DURING REGULAR DRIVING ON THE 101 HIGHWAY IT SHOWED SOLID CHECK ENGINE SIGN. I CHECKED THE ERROR AND IT READ P0880 I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER (KEYS) WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS TCM INTERNAL FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED CHANGING THE TCM AFTER PAYING FOR THE PART AND INSTALLATION ($994.00 AND $162.00 FOR DIAGNOSIS) THE DEALER INSTALLED THE PART AND CAME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT THE ISSUE PERSISTS AFTER PART'S INSTALLATION AND THAT THEY ARE GOING TO WORK WITH THE ELECTRICITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY SHALL WORK ON THE CIRCUITS BUT NOT WITH ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. AS THIS ISSUE HAPPENED WITH REGULAR USE, I BELIEVE IT TO BE MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT MUST BE CARRIED OUT AND FIXED BY HYUNDAI.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V575000 - MY HYUNDAI IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS THAT IS PORTRAYED IN THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER I HAVE LISTED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE UNAWARE OF WHAT THE ISSUE IS OR HAVE "ATTEMPTED" TO FIX THE ISSUE YET IT STILL OCCURS. NOW, BECAUSE I HAVE JUST SURPASSED MY WARRANTY, THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IS MAKING ME PAY FOR ALL DIAGNOSTICS AND FIXES. MY VIN, HOWEVER, DOES NOT SHOW THAT THIS WAS A PART OF THIS RECALL. ALL OF MY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATE. MY STEERING BECOMES TIGHT. MY BACKUP CAMERA WILL NOT WORK. AND MY SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WILL GLITCH AND NOT ACCURATELY DISPLAY MY SPEED OR RPMS. ALL INDICATORS INSIDE THE LCD SCREEN WILL SHOW ME THAT I HAVE A MALFUNCTION. THIS INCLUDES MY PASSENGER SEAT BELT, MY LANE KEEP ASSISTANCE, MY AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING, MY TIRE PRESSURE, MY ENGINE LIGHT, AS WELL AS MY BLINKERS NOT PROPERLY ILLUMINATING OR MAKING ANY SOUND WHEN TURNED ON. THIS WILL OCCUR FROM TIME TO TIME AND IS NOT ALWAYS CONSTANT. IT WILL ALSO OCCUR AT RANDOM, WHETHER I AM DRIVING, STATIONARY, OR IF I HAVE JUST TURNED MY CAR ON FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY. I HAVE VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF THESE EVENTS OCCURRING.
THIS CAR LOSES CONTROL ON ICE COVERED ROADS, AND HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR APPEARS TO BE OVER CORRECTING WHEN ROADS ARE ICE COVERED. THE REAREND OF THE CAR BEGINS TO SLIP FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE BEGINNING AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 40/45 MPH. THE PROBLEM IS, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. IT IS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH A STABILITY MODULE OR SOMETHING. DEALER SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE THE PROBLEM. A VERY SCARY SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (DENNIS HYUNDAI OF DOUBLIN, 2441 BILLINGSLEY ROAD, COLUMBUS, OH 43235), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED OR DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000. *LN CONSUMER HAS DETAILING 4 EPISODES WHICH ARE LITERALLY LIFE-THREATENING IN NATURE. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CODE MALFUNCTION AND PLAN TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRENTY. MOST OF THE SIMILAR EPISODES WERE REPORTED TO BE DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH (TPS) AND THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REPLACE IT WITH AN UPDATED POSITION SWITCH. UPDATED 9/12/18*JB
ON JUNE 2, 2017, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY VEHICLE IN A PARKING STALL AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 5-8 MPH. SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE REVVED UP, INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED AND RADIO CHANGED STATIONS. WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE THE CAR, THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND I SUBSEQUENTLY HIT A WALL. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN THE EALER CAME TO GET THE CAR, THE INDIVIDUAL PICKING UP THE CAR INDICATED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BREAKING MECHANISM. HOWEVER, THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER SAYS NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT WON'T PROVIDE THE DETAILS OF THE REPORT.
ELECTRONIC GREMLINS PERIODICALLY HIT. -AT RANDOM TIMES THE FRONT OR REAR SENSORS DON'T "SEE" OBJECTS. I HAVE KISSED BUMPERS WITH ANOTHER CAR WHEN NEITHER OF US SAW THE OTHER, AND MY GENESIS FAILED TO SEE. IT'S ALLOWED ME ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS TO PULL TOO CLOSE TO OBJECTS IN FRONT. -WORSE, THERE ARE RANDOM EPISODES WHERE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO SEE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF IT. NUMEROUS TIMES WE HAVE NARROWLY MISSED COLLISIONS WHEN WE HAD TO QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY APPLY BRAKES. I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS AS HAS MY WIFE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY CLIENTS! -THE SELF-RETRACTING MIRRORS FREQUENTLY TO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND WE HAVE TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE.
I OWNED THE CAR FOR 9 MONTHS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN THE RAIN. IT WAS RAINING AND MY CAR SAFETY LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING TELLING ME THAT FRONT COLLISION WARNING WAS NOT WORKING, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING WAS NOT WORKING, BLIND SPOT DETECTION WAS NOT WORKING. AND TO CHECK AEB SYSTEM. HYUNDAI TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH IT WORKED FINE FOR 9 MONTHS, THAT THE SAFETY FEATURES MAY NOT WORK IN THE RAIN
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
