Windshield visibility poor. Lighting dim. Hydraulic system fail. Timing belt fail. Flang sound (ticking in engine) LED to engine fail. Electrical lights flickering was me. Vehicle stalled out completely shutting off locking up and seizing out. Components malfunctioning. Hard brake checks, high RPM rrevving, and idleing all are shown when car was traveling at 45 MPH and no change in speed. Failure of fluids cause corrosion and hecu. Engine light indicator and engine oil lamp light flickering with no distinct pattern. Proceeded to bang loud in engine. Rpm rev 2-3k before speed catches. Cd player problems. Always making a sound as if it is trying to eject and then sputters out. In 2 days the entire vehicle went from no lights displaying no knocking sound. 94k miles total
Navigation display failure resulting in no back-up camera, no a/v functions, and HVAC control malfunction. Dealer replaced within approximately 8 months of purchase. System has failed again and corporate advised that the part was on backorder and we waited for a replacement part for 8 months. Now corporate has advised that the part, a-v monitor assembly part #965633m851, is unavailable/discontinued. No way to repair or replace the part. Vehicle has 44,000 miles on it. Sunroof failed within first 20,000 miles and was sealed to avoid expensive repair. Most recently the car died without warning while stationary. In for evaluation now. This car has been a chronic problem since we first purchased it and corporate has told us that we are at a dead end regarding the a/v monitor assembly - there is nothing they can do. A/v monitor assembly issue occurred in june of 2020.
Engine completely stalled 4 times when coming to a stop at a red light. Dashboard lit up with all the icons like it does when you press start on the car without actually turning it on. Ac and radio stayed on but brake pedal and steering wheel tightened up and loss of function in traffic. Had to put gear in park turn off the car and turn it back on. All 4 times it came back on without any problems and took me home. Common issue that others have described and can kill someone!

When turning steering wheel a number of things can happen, radio turns off,steering locks up. All dash lights come on and power batt light lights up. Has stalled in intersection when turning. Trans shifts hard and slips into gear when on a long drive
Was driving down the freeway in stop and go traffic and had been driving for about 45 minutes. Had A/C on, radio on, phone charger and seat cooling. Suddenly all electronics stopped on the car, loss of power to brakes, power steering and no acceleration. Had to pull over across two lanes of traffic, thankfully the flashers worked and I was able to get to the side of the road. Put car in park and started car up again. Thankfully it was daylight and good weather.

Passenger airbag light is always illuminated, with or without someone in the seat. Called the dealer and they told me that they 'put a seatbelt label on,' and that I can pay $145 for the diagnosis.
Car turned off by itself while driving. Steering and braking were affected and not working.
Every time my car is idle, whether at carport, street light or heavy traffic, the engine runs really rough sounds/feels like it is going to turn off (stop running)also when AC/heater & radio are on it gets worse! It's scary to think I may get stuck in middle of freeway/street every time car is at idle. I've taken it to hyundai dealer from day one for the issue and even let them know it's still happening every time I take it for engine oil change or other scheduled maintenance and told every time they can't find issue!! I do not remember specific dates, nor did I save all the paper work since I bought the car in 2012! Shouldn't dealer have records in their computers? It's been on going since I bought the car in 2012!!

I purchased the car in january 2017 after 2 months of having the car the windows would not go up. I would have to wait hours for it to start back working. The suspension was low for a few weeks then it would slowly come back up. Basically my whole car has electrical problems back up camera goes black, the odometer has dead pixels, car extremely sluggish, the car shakes and kills alot. Also when I turn the heated seats on it turns off within 2 minutes. It is so much the car is doing to say this car has a clean carfax.
Drivers side window motor shorted out at 68k miles. It would only intermittently roll up or down, and would get stuck in either condition, allowing rain, snow and dirt to enter the vehicle. Hyundai quoted $680 to repair

Driving home on the 405 fwy last night my genesis r-spec 5.0 lost all power, electrical and steering. Fortunately, I was on the right lane and was able to maneuver the vehicle off the fwy. I had no lights, no emergency flashers, complete shutdown of power. It was about 9pm and dark luckily it was not in a lane or this could have been fatal as I could not turn on any lights! Extremely dangerous and have reported my incident to hyundai customer care. Vehicle was towed to dealership pending diagnostics.
Headlights turn off when turn signal is used at night. When making right turn last week at night used right turn signal approximately 100 ft prior to turning. Front lights went out and car turning in front of me almost hit me because they couldn't see me because my lights were off. Other hyundai genesis owners report the same problem. Dealer unable to diagnose problem. Headlights flicker when turn signal is used
What is likely a faulty turn signal stalk causes the vehicle's headlights to either flicker, shut off or flash the high beams regardless if it is stationary or in motion. It manifests itself in various ways; the most recent being on a 5 hour interstate trip. When signaling to change lanes, the high beams would flash which would in turn disturb drivers in front of me. Other times, the lights have flickered and/or turned off entirely for a brief period of time hindering night time visibility. For further reference, I will provide a link to an owner's online forum which discusses other individual's problems like this: http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.php?t=12504&page=4
This ihas happened 4-5 times. I was driving on a street, thank god, I was not on hwyway, engine just stalled and streering wheel locked. I was hard but, somehow managed to get on the curbe and avoid a crash. If this would have happened on freeway, it would have been fatal. I think, hyundai sure know this problem exist in genesis too. It is same problem ( symptoms) as described in hyundai's sonata recall. I don't know what is hyundia waiting for. It is a serious problem with a $50,000 car . I have no trust on this car anymore. This would be my last hyundai. I know, if I take car to dealership , I would hear response that , no issue found. Genesis has a serious engine problem with stalling.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai genesis. When the vehicle was started, the front windows were lowered and the driver side window switch became inoperable for approximately five minutes. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
The car stalled and engine shut off while moving. I was driving on a surface street when the car shut off, all indicator lights were on, temp gauge was normal, fuel tank was more that 3/4 full. The car started up again and drove away normally.
The first time it happened I was driving on a 2 lane road when the car just stopped, no warning. After about 15 minutes the car started up again. I brought it to the dealer service department and they kept the car for 2 weeks and told me the car is fine now. The second time it happened my husband was driving the car and was getting off one major road and getting on to another and the car just stopped again. Waited again and the car started up again after about 15 minutes. The third time my husband was driving from my home to the front of my development and the car stopped again no warning. The forth time was just this past week when driving the car on a very busy road and it happened again, this time someone had to push us off the main road so that we do not get hit. I took the car to the dealership again and they have the car right now and I am driving a loaner car. I call hyundai and started a case and they told me that it is up to the dealership to decide what to do about my car if they can not find the problem. I am refusing to drive the car because I do not know when this is going to happen again and I am afraid. We have been very lucky up to now that we have not had an accident or even worse. Please tell me what I need to do now. By the way this is a leased car.
