WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE ENGINE LOSES POWER. ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS STILL RUNNING BUT WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, YOU GET NO RESPONSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE LAST 5 DAYS. WE HAVE CALLED AND SETUP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT WAS THIS FRIDAY. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OF OCCURRED. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I BOUGHT THE NEW HYUNDAI GENESIS (MOTOR TREND OF THE YEAR 2009). I SOON REALIZED (WITHIN 200 MILES OF NEW CAR OWNERSHIP) THAT CAR WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT (SEVER PULL) AND TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT PRESSURE TO THE RIGHT SIDE ON THE STEERING (STEERING AT 15 DEGREE RIGHT ANGLE) TO MAINTAIN CAR DRIVE STRAIGHT. VERY SOON I RESEARCHED THE UNIQUE PROBLEM. ALMOST ALL HYUNDAI GENESIS OWNERS HAVE MADE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS TO HYUNDAI DEALERS. HYUNDAI HAS BEEN HIDI…

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING OR IN LOW RPM IT WOULD START TO SPUTTER AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS A FAULT THROTTLE SENSOR. *TR

SUBJECT: HYUNDAI GENESIS 2009 4.6 LITRE. NEW CAR 2000 MILES DRIVEN. WHEN ONE COMES TO A STOP WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND TRANSMISSION IN "DRIVE" AND THEN WHEN THE STOP/START BUTTON IS PRESSED, THE ENGINE STOPS BUT WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IS PUSHED FORWARD FROM "DRIVE" TOWARDS "PARK" IT WILL ONLY TRAVEL AS FAR AS "NEUTRAL". THIS IS A HAZARD AS ANYONE NOT FAMILIAR WITH DRIVING THE CAR MIGHT ASSUME THE CAR IS IN "PARK" OR LEAVE IT IN "DRIVE" OR ""NEUTRAL", WALK AWAY AND PERMIT THE CAR TO FREE WHEEL ROLL. IN A CONVENTIONAL CAR WITHOUT A KE…

WHEN STARTING OUT SLOW, LISE AT A STOP LIGHT, IF IT IS NECESSARY TO LIFT OFF THE ACCELERATOR BRIEFLY, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO GO INTO A HIGH GEAR AND THE CAR JUST COASTS WITH NO POWER. BY PRESING THE ACCELERATOR HARD, A JACKRABBIT START RESULTS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DOES FINALLY SHIFT DOWN. THIS CAN BE VERY SCARY. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR STREET TRAVELING AROUND 35 MPH, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BEGAN TO STOP. AS I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES, MY CAR'S PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND BEGAN TO GET SOME PRESSURE, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I NEVER KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND I COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT SINCE THAT DAY. I HAVE CHANGED THE PADS, AND ROTORS, SO THOSE ARE NOT THE ISSUE. THIS WEEK, MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND I TOOK THE CAR…

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 L…
