The brake lights on the 2010 hyundai genesis (and possibly other years/models hyundai vehicles) have various problems with the brake lights failing to work. This is very dangerous not only to the hyundai genesis driver, but also for any driver following behind the car. There has been various factory recalls for the 2010 hyundai genesis brakes including one that causes the brake lights not to work due to a brake switch failure: http://www.cars.com/hyundai/genesis/2010/recalls however the particular problem my car and other genesis owners have reported does not have a factory recall for it, even though it poses the some of the same safety issues that the brake switch factory recall had. Http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.php?t=3269 the root cause is diode that fails which cause the brake lights not to work. (this is different that the brake switch factory recall.) I don't know how many months I drove without having brake lights. My state inspection was in january 2014. A driver that was behind my car informed me my brake lights didn't work in may 2014. I had my car towed to the dealer due to the danger of driving when the car's brake lights don't work. Apparently hyundai knows about the issue (according to the above link) : technical service bulletin 09-be-023, stop lamp z01 diode inspection procedure, appears to describe the location and procedure for troubleshooting of the diode but describes the issue as " . . . Vehicles may experience the stop lamps blinking on and off even when brakes are not applied." why is there no factory recall for this problem? It can cause serious accidents which could lead to fatalities.
This is a recurring hesitation problem. I first noticed this when making a turn into traffic. The hesitation is significant. In some cases there is an acceleration pause of 1-2 seconds. This does not occur every time I accelerate but its lack of predictability is a problem in and of itself. I have come close to being rear ended because the car would just not move when I pressed the accelerator. Also, when the car windows are up and the car sits in the sun for a few hours the central nav and communication system over heats and will not function until it cools off (maybe 20 minutes). In the meantime, back up camera does not work, temperature controls do not work and the bluetooth system does not function.
2010 hyundai genesis 3.8l v6 w/ premium navigation package (touchscreen): bluetooth connects to phone even when accessory power is off. The following was observed with or without the smart key: 1. Every time a door is opened, or the remote is used to lock the door, the bluetooth gets connected; 2. Once inside the car, the bluetooth keeps connected without starting engine or turning accessory power on: 3. Step out of the car, close the door, and wait a minute or so, the blue tooth disconnects. Cell phone becomes useless in these situation unless I: 1. Turn phone's bluetooth off; or 2. Start engine or turn accessory power on to use car's speaker and mic; or 3. Move away from the car, 20' or so; or 4. Step outside, close door and wait for a minute before using the phone -- all appear safety hazard in an emergency.
