THE HOOD ON THE 2010 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY ALLOWING THE HOOD TO BOUNCE AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS. I HAVE ADVISED HYUNDAI USA AND THEY HAVE ADVISED ME THAT THE FIT OF THE HOOD IS TO SPECIFICATION. MY CONCERN WITH THE VEHICLE IS IF THE HOOD DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY, IT MAY NOT LATCH PROPERLY. THEY HAVE STATED, BUT WILL NOT PUT IN WRITING, THE HOOD WILL NOT UNLATCH. *TR

ONE OF MY AUTOMOTIVE FORUM MEMBER EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUE WITH HIS HYUNDAI GENESIS 2 DOOR CAR, 2010 MODEL. THE ISSUE WAS BELIEVED TO BE CAUSED BY VDC(VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL SOFTWARE) THAT HYUNDAI MOTOR IN SOUTH KOREA ADMITTED BUT REFUSED TO DO ANY ACTION AGAINST THIS ISSUE.

THE 2010 GENESIS COUPE HOOD IS MISALIGNED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE GAP IS ABOUT 1/4" WIDER ON THE DRIVER SIDE AS COMPARED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS ALLOWS MORE AIR TO ENTER THE HOOD COMPARTMENT. THE WIND BUFFETING EFFECT VIBRATES THE HOOD AND COULD CREATE AN UNSAFE SITUATION IF THE HOOD OPENS UP AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

WITH ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGED, MY NEW HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE LOCKED THE BRAKES WHILE I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. ON NUMEROUS OTHER OCCASIONS THE ABS HAS BEEN ENGAGED WHEN MAKING A TURN INTO A SLIGHTLY RAISED DRIVEWAY, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BRAKES ACTUALLY LOCK; I AM ABLE TO DRIVE THROUGH THE BRAKING ACTION. THE HYUNDAI FIELD SERVICE REP DROVE MY CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO GET THE BRAKES TO LOCK, HOWEVER, ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS HE GOT THE ABS TO ENGAGE WHILE…

Reported: 2013-04-01 (April 1, 2013)

Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.

Consequence: Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

Reported: 2016-10-07 (October 7, 2016)

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Genesis Coupe vehicles manufactured December 12, 2008, to June 11, 2016. The electrical harness connector for the front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may dislodge when the seat is moved.

Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the disconnected OCS would, by default, cause the first stage, and only the first stage, of the air bag to deploy, whether there is a child seat in the front seat and the bag should not deploy or if the crash is severe and both stages should deploy. Either scenario increases the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.

Remedy: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will secure the OCS connector to prevent it from disconnecting, free of charge. Parts are not currently available and a second letter will be sent to owners when parts are available. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 151.

Reported: 2024-07-25 (July 25, 2024)

Consequence: Unintended vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the ignition lock switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2024. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 266.
