Vehicle was in motion on city street when another motorist signaled that flames were coming out of front drivers side bumper. Fortunately, my wife was nearing home and pulled over in front our house where I sprayed and soaked area of fire until it receded. When I was able to view damage, the drivers side fog light bulb and housing had dropped thru the large hole which had burned thru the plastic bumper. The bulb and housing evidently dislodged from the fog light socket and dropped into the surrounding plastic bumper below and triggered the fire . Our complaint is that the car has at least ten dealer service repairs which shows replacement of several lights and bulbs including the fog light involved in the fire. Further, the replacement of bulbs thru out the vehicle has solely been done at the dealer for the simple reason the replacement of the fog lights needs to be done by a certified mechanic. An insinuation by the dealer that we are somehow responsible for this fire and the cost of replacing the fog light and bumper is absurd and false. I am learning how to scan and upload and will forward the dealer repair invoices soon.

My brake lights will not come on when I press the brake pedal. I have had the fuses checked and they are all working. I contacted my local hyundai dealership after researching the recall on the brake light switch. They will not perform the recall because they said it was already done twice. But there is obviously a proble if its happening again.

In july ,2014 , I was told by another driver that the stop lights were not functioning; I immediately took the vehicle to my local mechanic after my hyundai dealer told me that it was not covered under my warranty. It was corrected the next day after my car was left until fixed. I was just notified by the federal safety agency that a recall ( campaign # 14v713) was just issued for faulty stoplight problem. I called my local hyundai dealer to see about re-imbursement and was told that there wasn't a recall issued yet for this problem and was given the # for customer care. I just got off the phone with hyundai motor america and was told that the recall was being worked on ( campaign 125) and that I would be receiving a letter in the future. I asked if that would be in days,weeks , months or years ,he said he did not know. Remember the brake fluid recall ! Now here we go again...........a safety issue but not a serious issue for hyundai. You would think that an immediate notification would go out to each dealer so every vehicle that they service could be brought to the dealer for immediate corrective action. This could prevent a future rear collision and possible injury/ death. Is this yet another industry stone walling of a" safety issue " ie key switch and air bag. Hopefully a fellow genesis owner will not have a serious rear end collision in the near future.

Was traveling on vacation and was notified by another motorist that I had no brake lights. Took to dealer and they replaced stop lamp switch (#13-01-021-3). Vehicle was still under warranty and no cost for repair. Dealership did not indicate that there was a recall or service bulletin on this part or with this issue. Had a second incident, similar as the first only this time the brake lights flickered when brake was applied. I was nearly rear ended by a motorist and then was stopped at a light by that motorist to tell me of the issue. The following day I smelled a very heavy electrical smell when I started the vehicle. I again took the vehicle to the dealership and they fixed the same stop lamp switch (diode) at no cost. However, the dealer said they had not had any genesis in for a second time with this issue. The service manager suggested that I was "riding the brake" and suggested that this might cause the issue. Again, there was no mention by the dealership that there was a recall or service bulletin for this issue.
