2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe: grinding or squealing brakes

I feel like the transition on this car is a safety hazard. It locks you out of second gear at high rpms which could be dangerous in some situations. Also from 5th and 6th gear grind and are hard to actuate. A lot of people are having this problem.

I bought the car used with 32,500 miles. From day 1 there was a grind going into 5th gear. This was a known problem, but no tsb or recall was ever sent out about it. Just a tsb to change the fluid . At 82,000 miles the 5th gear synchro broke. I had to buy a used transmission from the junk yard and had it installed for $820 total including the transmission, labor and fluid. Why would they claim they have a 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty, when it only covers the first owner. And why would they know about the 5th gear grind and not do anything about it.

6-speed manual transmission hard to get into some gears. Grinding noise is heard on upshift from 2nd to 3rd and downshift from 6th to 5th. This is the second transmission the dealer installed. The original one had similar issues when the car was less than a year old and it was replaced by the dealer under warranty.

While driving my 2010 hyundai genesis coupe 3.8l track model, I experience severe problems with the transmission. When shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear whenever the temperature is below 30 degrees fahrenheit the transmission grinds going into gear. Hyundai USA had a tsb about it, and the transmission fluid was changed under warranty. A week later the problem is still occurring. Hyundai has not been helpful in fixing the problem whatsoever since. When it is very cold, the transmission will not allow me to shift into second gear at all, it'll grind and make noise and block me from shifting. When this happened, I had to quickly depress the clutch and let the car roll back down to a stop. There was a lot of traffic this day and I was almost involved in a collision because of this problem. When approaching highway speeds and shifting into 5th gear, the transmission grinds again. This is usually around 50mph and at around 2600-3000rpms. I have to force the shifter into the 5th gear slot. Should the transmission block me from shifting into 5th, as it does sometimes from 1st-2nd gear, this will certainly result in an accident. Again, hyundai motor USA is not being helpful at resolving this issue. Since the transmission fluid change, hyundai will not approve any other warranty related work.

Trying to shift into any gear during cold climates is very difficult and sometimes impossible on the first attempt. Multiple gears grind when going into gear specifically 5th and 6th gear, occasionally 3rd. I took it to a hyundai dealership to get fixed and they said there was nothing wrong with it. This is a well known problem among the genesis coupe community and hyundai refuses to acknowledge they have a problem.

The manual transmission in the 2010 hyundai genesis coupe is very problematic. Very often the gear selection is rejected not allowing the operator to up shift or downshift. Second gear and fifth gear are the worse. Grinding often occurs when shifting into 2nd gear or 5th gear. I was merging into traffic on interstate 495 in massachusetts when my car would not shift into 5th gear. The transmission simply started to grind. When merging into traffic at 50-60mph an operator needs to shift from 4th to 5th and I could not. I had to quickly downshift into 4th gear to try and keep accelerating. Any shifting into 5th gear after approximately 3,400 rpms resistance and often grinding will occur. This can very easily cause an accident, expecting to be able to shift into the next higher gear and not being able to do so. I have taken my car to a hyundai dealer and "they could not replicate the problem". I took the service tech for a ride and the car ground into 5th, and I was then told "this is normal operation of the transmission". Hyundai does not want to remedy this problem, and eventually many genesis coupe owners with manual transmissions will be using lemon law protection to have their cars fixed.

Personally currently on 3rd transmission and 2nd flywheel which has also recently failed. Hyundai has so far been willing to replace transmission and related parts however no "fix" currently exists. Employees have been blaming drivers for causing problems hyundaieven though on multiple occasions driver proven to not be cause.

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 entering a driveway, accompanied by loud grinding noises. He stated that this was "normal operation due to driveway slope angle combined with wheel base and suspension characteristics." he went on to say that he could get every genesis coupe on the lot to do the same thing. Therefore, they felt no repairs were warranted even though I had told them that the brakes had actually locked up, placing me in a dangerous situation. A recent autoblog.com article noted the severe deficiencies in the hyundai genesis coupe electronic stability control that mirror my own experience.
