Consumer Location: NEW BERN, NC
VIN: KMHGN4JE0FU****

Summary of Complaint

The rear passenger door will not open from inside or from outside of the vehicle. The door lock mechanism has failed internally while the door was shut. This causes a safety issue as passengers are not able to exit the vehicle in an emergency event. Worse, a child car seat is not able to be accessed as the door will not open. There are not warning lights in the vehicle to alert you that the door lock/handle mechanism has failed. Hyundai/Genesis will not repair the defective components under warranty, as they consider it a wear item. As the door will not open it is extremely difficult to repair this issue. The door panel has to be cut off which renders it destroyed. The door lock/latch mechanism has failed at 60000 miles and with a vehicle that is 6 years old. This is a huge safety issue as people will become trapped in a crash, which can lead to injury and loss of life.

Summary of Complaint

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL BULBS SEVERAL TIMES (3 TIMES SO FAR). THE 2015 MODEL USES ONE LIGHT TO FUNCTION AS BOTH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT AND ALSO AS THE TURN SIGNAL. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY OVERHEAT AND IT WAS PROBABLY A BAD DESIGN IN MY OPINION. I FEEL LIKE HYUNDAI NEEDS TO STRONGLY CONSIDER A RECALL TO RECTIFY THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. I DON'T EVER REMEMBER HAVING TO REPLACE A TURN SIGNAL ON ANY OF THE VEHICLES I'VE EVER OWNED AND IT SEEMS THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT CREATES A BIT OF A SAFETY ISSUE TOO - BEING WITHOUT A FRONT TURN SIGNAL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I PUT MARCH 16 BELOW AS THAT WAS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE.

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.

Summary of Complaint

I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON I94 IN MINNEAPOLIS IN SNOWY WEATHER AT ABOUT 9:30 PM ON FEB 7.. TEMP AT 16 DEGREES. NEEDED TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS. WHEN I TURNED THEM ON THERE WAS NO WASHER FLUID BUT THE WIPERS WENT ON. MY WINDSHIELD BECAME COMPLETELY OBSCURED. I HAD TO TURN ON MY FLASHERS, STOP TRAFFIC IN THAT LANE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAD A DANGEROUS AND HARD TIME GETTING TO THE SHOULDER. TURNS OUT THE FLUID WAS FROZEN. I USED SNOW TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS NOW FROZEN 4 TIMES IN COLD TEMPS. I HAVE HAD IT FREEZE AT TEMPS AS HIGH AS 18 DEGREES. I RETURNS TO WORKING CONDITION AT ABOUT 28 OR 29 DEGREES. HYUNDAI IN AURORA ILLINOIS PUTS THE FLUID IN WHEN I GET AN OIL CHANGE AND I NEVER PUT FLUID IN. WHEN IT WORKS THERE APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING BESIDES PURE WATER IN THE FLUID AS I OBSERVE A 'SUDSING' EFFECT. DURING MY LAST OIL VISIT ON FEB 9 AT A TEMP OF 18 DEGREES, I HAD A HYUNDAI EMPLOYEE CONFIRM THAT THE FLUID WAS FROZEN AND THE WASHERS DID NOT PROVIDE ANY FLUID WHILE THE WIPERS ACTIVATED.

Summary of Complaint

2015 GENESIS 11 MONTHS OLD WITH 6,100 MILES. THE SUNROOF WEATHER SEAL IS DEFECTIVE AND SEPARATING FROM THE GLASS. DEALER AND FACTORY ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT ($3,500 COST TO REPAIR) BUT REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE CAR. THIS IS MY 4TH GENESIS: THE 2ND AND 3RD CARS WERE DEFECTIVE, THE 1ST WAS SOLD TO ME WITHOUT FEATURES I WANTED AND WAS TOLD WERE IN THE CAR I FIRST BOUGHT. MY ISSUE WITH THIS DEFECT IS THE REPAIR PROCESS IS SOMETHING FIELD TECHNICIANS COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH ON THE 3RD GENESIS WHICH INVOLVED REMOVAL OF MOST INTERIOR TRIM ABOVE THE DASH LEVEL AND HEADLINER. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR/REASSEMBLY WERE UNDERTAKEN AND THEN WA STATE LEMON LAWS KICKED IN. THE INTENDED REPAIR TO MY CURRENT AND 4TH GENESIS WILL BE A FURTHER DISASSEMBLY OF THE UPPER PORTION OF THE INTERIOR TRIM OF THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE REMOVAL OF THE FIXED GLASS PORTION AND REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE WEATHER SEAL. THE DEALER, DOUG'S HYUNDAI, HAVE BEEN JUST GREAT AND THEY HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERN THAT THIS REPAIR IS LIKELY TO FAIL TO RETURN THE CAR TO ME IN "FACTORY CONDITION" DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE REPAIR. MY PAST EXPERIENCE WITH THE 3RD GENESIS TELLS ME THEY ARE RIGHT. WHILE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN PER SE, WATER INTRUDING INTO A VEHICLE COULD AND LIKELY WILL IMPACT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND CONTROL MODULES. CASE IN POINT WAS THE RECALL INVOLVING WATER PENETRATION INTO THE REAR TAIL LAMPS THAT IMPACTED THE CARS TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONS. I FEEL SCREWED BY HYUNDAI. THEY ARE MAKING ME UNDERGO A REPAIR THAT WILL RESULT IN A DEPRECIATED VALUE. CAN ANYONE WHO READS THIS HELP ME?

VIN: KMHGN4JE8FU****

Summary of Complaint

ESC failed. I was attempting to make a left turn from a stopped position at a typical intersection. I lost control of the vehicle as it started to fishtail once I began the turn. Brakes did not respond and I ended up hitting the curb on the outer lane with both front and rear tires. Side curtain and passenger seat airbags deployed. Vehicle is now a total loss. I believe the faulty ESC poises a lot more risk that just a fire. From other reports on genesis forums by consumers like me, this problem with Hyundai's ESC seems to be a common and reoccurring problem. Recall should be updated to include that ESC may fail and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive.

Summary of Complaint

The DAB module assembly (air bag system) driver's side has to be replaced due to failure. Only warning was a creaking sound from the steering column when turning. Although I have an extended warranty, never been in an accident, and the car is only 6 years old with 44,000 miles, the extended warranty for the air bags is only for 5 years. The cost to replace the DAB is over $900.00. I feel strongly that Hyundai should cover the cost.

Summary of Complaint

There is an electrical issue that could malfunction internally and cause an electrical short, potentially resulting in an engine compartment fire. The front bulb for the daylight running lamps/ lane changing blinker has been consistently stopped working and/or blown out. The dealer where I purchased the vehicle has worked on the vehicle a minimum of six times, changing the electrical harnesses (among other things) with no success. When looking up this issue on the internet, other owners have reported this problem with the 2015 model and older Hyundai Genesis. Hyundai did changed the daylight running lights in 2016. On a few occasions (3 times), the headlights turned off at night which may or may not be related. I have another appointment in ten days to address the situation once again.

This issue has started with my car stalling out in a parking lot sitting idle. The car just turned off. I restarted the car and it turned off again. After this happened i have noticed turning my car on its slow - like the battery is dieing. I went to Hyundai to get a diagostic test and nothing came up and they could not duplicate the car turning over slowly. Since then my car is still slow to start - "sometimes" . NOW, I can go out and if I have to make several stops - it is garanteed to start slow and get stuck with the Auto Brake on - Which you can not release. I have a picture of the dashboard and a video of what happens when I drive - no RPM. This is causing me not to drive this car - I use to be a very happy Hyundai Genesis owner.

Summary of Complaint

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR DURING DAY, MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH THAT CONTROLS HEADLAMPS WILL, WITHOUT INTERACTION, FLIP THE LIGHTS FROM AUTO TO OFF. THIS LEADS TO EITHER THE DRLS BLINKING LIKE I HAVE AN EMERGENCY, OR THE HEADLAMPS TURNING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN AN UNLIT HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS A RECALL...NOT A WARRANTY EXTENSION. PARTICULARLY WHEN THE SERVICING DEALERS REFUSE TO REPLACE UNDER SAID WARRANTY BECAUSE "THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE".

Summary of Complaint

1. IN A STATIONARY POSITION BOTH INCIDENTS THE LEFT AND RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES WHILE OPENING THE DOORS ON DIFFERENT TIMES ONCE IN 2019 THE OTHER 2020 COMPLETELY CAME OFF. THE FIRST ISSUE I WENT TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT NORM REEVES HYUNDAI IN CALIFORNIA OFF OF THE 605 FREEWAY WHERE THEY GLUE IT BACK TOGETHER AND NOT OPENING THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR TO REMOVE THE BROKEN PIECES THAT FELL INSIDE THE DOOR WHICH YOU CAN HEAR EACH TIME I CLOSE THE DOOR FOR THE RIGHT SIDE BACK PASSENGER DOOR.

I CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY USAA FILE A CLAIM TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CALIBER COLLISION HEAR IN KYLE, TEXAS AND THEY GLUED BACK ON NO PIECES BROKE OFF INSIDE THE DOOR. NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB THAT KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE IM DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO SOUTH POINT HYUNDAI JULY 6,, 2020 FOR THIS ISSUE. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE REPORT THEY IDENTIFIED THE BULB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPLACED IT. I TOLD THEM THE BULB IS NOT THE PROBLEM, THEY NEEDED TO FIND OUT WHATS CAUSING IT TO GO OUT.
