Driver's side passenger door lock does not electronically function--either by key fob or by driver's control. Passenger door must be manually locked and unlocked. This defect was present from time car was purchased new but was only discovered after car was out-of-warranty since passenger door had never been used until grandchildren began using back seat. This represents an safety hazard in the event that back-seat passenger needs to exit car quickly via electronic means. We are aware that this defect is quite common among 2012 Hyundai Genesis owners. Hyundai Motors of America knows that this was a manufacturing design defect but thus far, is unwilling to support warranty repair. Warranty repair is quite costly, averaging $700-900, and this is likely the reason why HMA has elected to publicly hide and ignore the issue.

I am reporting an electrical problem w my 2012 hyundai Genesis. My back driver's side door lock just stopped working in 2021 & a few months later , my front passenger seat door locks also stopped working. I brought it in to the dealer this morning to have both locks checked. I know the back seat door lock is the actuator & im assuming that’s the issue w the front one too. I’m waiting to hear back from the dealer what the problem is, but actuators on the 2012 genesis are defective or it’s an electrical problem. No accidents happened bc of it, I was just told to report this issue.

The rear view camera continues to not work properly. The camera screen will either display a black or scrambled view or none at all. This happens periodically from month to month. When the screen becomes scrambled, it creates a major safety issue. If there was an person or object directly behind the car when backing up, you would not be able to see it. There are no warnings or notifications from the car when this happens.

While turning at low speeds, the vehicle will turn off completely. This kills all power steering and brakes. This has occurred on several occasions and is documented on the web and genesis forums by other Hyundai owners as well, so this is not an isolated case. There was no warning of any kind that the car would be shutting down. The problem has not been reproduced by the dealer and that is the problem....you never know when it's going to happen and is extremely dangerous.

While in route to the dealer for one issue, my smart cruise light came on. I reported this to the dealer upon arrival and they ignored. They repaired one item under warranty in which I though took care of both. By time I left, allowed the car to warm up; the smart cruise light came back on. I contacted the dealership & asked them what happened to this 2nd issue. They scheduled an appointment and I was informed by that time and visit; the warranty had expired and I will have to pay $4200 to repair the problem that they now see. I had also been complaining about my ABS/ESC/auto hold lights were constantly flashing, now they remain solid. It causes the vehicle to jerk when in reverse. I have read about several recalls regarding issue. The situation has gotten worse and I was told it is now leaking brake fluid. The dealership has now given me a price totaling $7000 to repair or purchase a new vehicle. This is money I cannot pay and I know my vehicle was still covered when the problems/ recalls started. These incidents occurred on several dates.
