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

Engine just shuts off while driving. It becomes difficult to steer and control. I was barely able to move to the side of the street and the car behind me almost ran into me because of my loss of power. There are no warning lights and the radio, etc. All stayed on during this event. I had to put the car in park and restart the engine.

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!

While driving the 2009 genesis the power stirring pump fails suddenly causing a catastrophic failure and you can stir the car! I've replaced the part twice before in around 90 days and it failed again in less than a year! The part cost &1100 and $2200 total price! This is a documented issue and a factory recall should be forced on hyundai because it's a safety issue! Now hyundai is refusing to replace the parts and stated 'our parts dont go bad!'..... Then the parts manager at pohanka hyundai in capital heights md hung up the phone! Very poor service and the hyundai genesis has systemic problems! Even though I have not had this problem it's also a known defect... The ABS also has catastrophic failures and you have no brakes! I've checked and from 2009 until now (2018) these issues are in every genesis manufactured and they won't properly engineer the parts? So hyundai can build a very nice 'profile' car that we can't stir or stop! I'll never buy another and I'm a retired quality assurace engineer for nasa!

The power steering failed suddenly and catastrophically while driving in the parking lot. The steering wheel became hard to turn at any range of speed. The vehicle was examined by the dealership mechanic and I was informed the power steering pump had failed. After some brief research, it seems to be a known amd documented problem. I am awaiting repair(s) and extended warranty authorization as my car is no longer covered by the limited warranty and the power steering is not covered by the power train warranty. This is a costly repair that should be done at the manufacturer's cost under formal recall.

At approximately 7:50am on my way to work, heading westbound on rodeo rd and was going to make a left turn at cloverdale my car stalled. During the stall the engine cutoff and the electrical power in the car seemed to reset itself. As I was coming to a stop, I could feel the brakes not working and I put the car into park and tried to restart the engine by pushing on the start/stop button. When that didn't work, all the power in the car went out and nothing worked, no emergency lights, no power anything. I called roadside assistance and had them tow to the nearest dealership. This is the second time this has happened. The first was on sunday night september 6th, 2015 at around 8pm in san jose. I put that as a complaint on this system at that time.

Had a similar problem earlier today while taking the car out to get dinner. As I was approaching the freeway exit my car suddenly stalled and the steering wheel seemed to stiffen and the navi screen went out then back on. I pulled over emergency lane and waited to see what would happen and music continued up again from the USB port but I couldn't change the song. On the navi screen where USB setting is saying " initialization failed". So I pulled the USB stick to reset it and got it to work. I was able to go to dinner then drive back home without incident. But later on that night I tried to start my car but as soon as I hit the start button everything died. No power to anything no alarm no use of keyless entry no power at all. Then I come back to the car a few hours later that night and open the trunk manually with the key to get something and as soon as I slam the trunk down all the power came back hids, brake lights, lexicon system music playing. Except when I try to turn on the engine with the start button it won't start. Then everything shuts off like before I'm at a loss. But eeriely I been having problems like the previous poster with topping of gas issues because the car doesn't know when to stop pumping gas sometimes when full and a few times the car spewed out some fuel. I'm not sure if that is related to my recent stall incident but I've plans to driving from san jose back home to los angeles tomorrow on labor day and I'm scared to. What if the car stalls on mountain freeway over pass and it stalls and lose steering and brakes. I don't know if the dealer is even open labor day. What should I do? Help!
