Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact discovered a mileage discrepancy after the purchase of the vehicle. The vehicle was a dealer sale.

I was on the freeway and my car suddenly shut off completely.. engine, dashboard, lights EVERYTHING.. it was off for maybe 2 seconds and then the car Powered itself back up the car did not stop abruptly, so I was thankful for that. I didn’t panic or pull the wheel. I just continue straight and then thankfully it cut back on and then I got off the freeway as I was driving down the street not going more than 1015 miles my car cut off on me again it did the same exact thing everything just went off and then it cut back on mid drive and I have a four year-old toddler and I have been scared out of my life. Something is clearly wrong I need help please , no one can tell me what the problem is
Car randomly turns off while driving. Sometimes my car will go off. Most of the time it turns back on but that is dangerous.

Upon starting the vehicle, the steering wheel remains in upper position and interior position, similar to bus steering wheel. It cannot be moved with the electrical positioning button on the steering column and therefore is not safely drivable in this position. Major safety issue
2009 hyundai genesis 3.8 4d sedan with 55000 miles. Lately, my car dash will blink "p" which is a notification for transmission is on parked even the shifter is in a different mode. This happens randomly and I am worried hope don't lockup transmission during the high speed. I have recorded a video of this scenario if asked. Btw this happens in both in motion or in stationary mode.

This car has electrical problems. I saw a low battery indicator light on my dashboard while driving. I replaced the battery with a new battery from auto parts store. That new battery died on one week. Had to tow my car to the mechanic. Diagnosed with a weak alternator. Not a dead alternator but a weak alternator. I was told this is common with the genesis cars. The weak alternator caused electrical problems for the rest of the car causing weird electrical problems occasionally.
Power steering has failed while driving multiple times during the past 18 months. I have brought the car in for service at my local dealership for the same problem multiple times. The power steering has been replaced twice and the rack and pinion has been replaced but the problem persists. A fault code generated from the power steering failure but hyundai mechanics and hyundai corporate do not recognize the code. Unbelievable!
