2012 Hyundai GENESIS problems and owner complaints

I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, NOW I HAVE TWO FENDER BENDERS - REAR END COLLISIONS. THE FIRST ONE, 10/07/11, WAS AT LESS THAN OR ABOUT 5MPH AND I REMEMBER BRAKING AS USUAL BUT IT FAILED TO STOP AND REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. ONLY MINOR DAMAGES DUE TO THE SPEED INVOLVED. NEXT, TODAY 11/14/11, I BRAKED WHEN A TRUCK CUT ME OFF AND MERGED ON TO THE FREEWAY FROM AN EXIT ONLY LANE AT THE LAST MINUTE, STILL IT MADE CONTACT WITH THAT TRUCK, THIS TIME MODERATE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND NONE TO THE TRUCK. THE SPEED HERE WAS ABOUT 10-15MP…

AUTO HOLD TECHNOLOGY FEATURE FAILED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN ON, AUTO HOLD ILLUMINATES WHITE, AND GREEN WHEN IT IS ACTIVELY HOLDING THE VEHICLE IN PLACE, WITHOUT THE NEED TO DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL. ON A STOP LIGHT CAR JERKED FORWARD AND THE AUTO HOLD ILLUMINATION TURNED ORANGE IN COLOR FROM GREEN. AUTO HOLD FEATURE WOULD NOT RESET EVEN WHEN RESTARTING VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO RESET, CITING A SHORTAGE IN THE AUTO-HOLD UNIT, WITH A REPLACEMENT PART ORDERED. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF THERE WAS ANYONE IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE,…

IN 2011 I LEASED A 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS. ON JANUARY 25.2013 WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. I CALLED AAA, THEY CAME OUT AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON MY BATTERY AND TOLD ME IT WAS FINE, THAT SOMETHING IN THE COMPUTER, MOST LIKELY THE ALTERNATOR WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. ON JUNE 9TH 2013 WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I CAME TO A STOP AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 3 MORE MILES AT 45 MPH, MY VEHICLE AGAIN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, NO STEERING NO BRAKES. AFTER C…

MY 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS 6 CYLINDER SEDAN HAS STALLED SINCE I BOUGHT IT (LEASED) NEW TWO YEARS AGO. EACH TIME I GO TO THE DEALER (OIL CHANGES, ETC.) AND ASK THEM ABOUT IT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND SINCE THEY CANNOT RECREATE IT WHEN THEY DRIVE THE CAR THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. JUST A SHORT TIME AGO MY FAMILY AND I WERE ALMOST IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT - THERE ALMOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY IF I HAD NOT LEFT ENOUGH ROOM WHEN TURNING LEFT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A STATE HIGHWAY. AS WI…

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY IN THE CENTER LANE AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER SUDDENLY. ALL OF THE INDICATORS CAME ON. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD USING MOMENTUM WITH NO POWER STEERING CROSSING LANES OF TRAFFIC. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD EASILY HAVE CREATED AN ACCIDENT. PREVIOUSLY THE CAR LOST POWER AT A LIGHT AND THE NAVIGATION AND BACK UP SCREEN HAS FLICKERED AND TURNED OFF AND THE MUSIC CONTROLS FREEZE. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT DIED THE FIRST TIME AND THEY REPORTED NO ERROR CODES AND DID NOT R…

THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY, I HAD JUST TURNED FOR HOME ON A 25 MPH STREET SO I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT I COULD MANAGE TO AT LEAST GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DO NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED 15 MINUTES EARLIER IF IT HAD SHUT DOWN ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE I WAS ON. IT DID START BACK UP AGAIN, BUT NOW AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI, BUT IF THERE FOLLOW-UP IS ANYTHING LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST, IT WILL BE A WASTE OF MY TIME. THEY WILL JUST SAY THAT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM …

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE HEARD LOUD NOISE UNDER CAR. FIVE MILES LATER I PARKED CAR IN DRIVEWAY, AND STARTED SMELLING GAS, LOOKED UNDER CAR AND FOUND QUARTER SIZE HOLE IN GAS TANK, THE TANK SHOULD HAVE SHIELD AROUND IT TO PREVENT THIS. THE EXHAUST PIPE RUNS NEXT TO GAS TANK WHICH COULD CAUSE CAR TO BURST INTO FLAMES. IF NOT FULL SHIELD AT LEAST DIVERTER PLATE IN FRONT OF GAS TANK. COST OF NEW FUEL TANK RUNS AROUND $500.00 AND ONLY DEALER HAVE IT. *TR
