2015 Hyundai Genesis: tire blowout or tread separation

Filed Aug 1, 2022 · Lights · TX

Driver side front turning signal/Daytime Running light burns out constantly. I have replaced that bulb at least 6 times since purchasing the car in 2018. Dealer confirmed it's common with my vehicle, and advised me to use OEM bulbs only as other bulbs would blow out faster. After the first bulb was replaced with a dealer OEM and that blew out within a few months, I purchased one from auto zone and it burned out within a week. Have been using OEM bulbs ever since. I have two friends with the exact same year make and model, and they have experienced the same issue. You can also see many threads hear describing the issue: https://www.google.com/search?q=2015+genesis+sedan+turn+signal+bulb+burns+out+site:genesisowners.com With a bulb that burns out constantly, there's a risk of people not wanting to swap them out and just not having a left turn signal on front of vehicle, this poses a safety risk to the driver and to everyone around them if they cannot properly signal their intent. One of my friends has chosen this route, after swapping the bulb 3 times, he has refused to do it any further. The indication that the bulb has burned out is a "Hyper Flash" meaning the left side turn signals will flash more rapidly than before to indicate a bulb has burned out. Many users have switched to LED lights to assuage the issue, however this is an aftermarket solution, not one that is provided by the manufacturer.

The front end of the vehicle is unstable due to constant vibration which is felt in the front drivers seat and steering wheel. The vibration causes the tires on the front end to wear prematurely, which could lead to blowouts.

Hyundai is telling me the problem with tire tread wear is a problem with the tire manufacturer. The tire manufacturer is telling me the problem is with a design of the 2015 genesis sedans suspension. Inside rear tire wear is extreme, and had I not complained about vibration and cabin sound, ultimately seeking professional help in seeing the wear at a tire company, we might have very easily lost our lives. Look at 2015 hyundai genesis blowouts / saudi arabia. Many, many posts on-line about this tire wear happening here in the u.s. Our michelin tires are warranted to 45 k miles, we were advised by our cars dealer (hyundai of evansville) to replace and align the 4 wheels, at a large cost, this is at 22,914 miles ! Raben tire, a michelin dealer, here in evansville tells me the car may very well have a suspension-alignment problem. It will cost us over $1000.00 to be safe for a while with tire replacement and alignment. Hyundai will not even give us the satisfaction of a return call. It is a blatant case of 'david vs goliath' ! Extreme cabin sound @ 45 to 50 MPH, as well as seat and steering wheel vibration while in motion, up through highway speeds.

The front turn indicator bulbs blow out frequently, creating a significant safety issue. This is because the manufacturer combined the drl and turn indicator functions into the same bulb, using one filament of a 2357 for both functions. It is also not possible to replace the bulbs with a longer-life alternative, such as a LED replacement, since the car refuses to recognize the LED bulbs. Therefore, many genesis owners end up replacing these bulbs as often as monthly, or even bi-weekly. The failures of these indicator bulbs are unpredictable, and the problem should never have happened, since the identical car in canada uses the existing "eyebrow" lights for drl and therefore the 2357 front bulbs are not susceptible to frequent unpredictable failure.

The dealership replaced the original tires on our 2015 hyundia genisis 5.0 with contiprocontact tires due to a recall on the original hankook tires in june 2016. Since then we have replaced , on six different accatiions,one of the tires .the first two, one front and one rear ,were because of bubbles on the sidewall. The next one was from tread seperation on a rear tire, and the last two ,were front tires, both from blow outs, after hitting small potholes at low speeds on two different accatiions. I have never had problems like this before,and I have been driving for over 50 years. I think these tires are defective and dangerous.some one needs to do something before people start getting hurt or even killed from them.

After 25,000 miles tire treads were separating on the inside edge of all four tires. These were original factory-installed hankook ventus noble s2 tires. Hyundai has a recall in place due to the possibility of vibration, but the recall makes no mention of safety issues or tire failure. The issue was found when dealer was rotating tires on normal schedule.

Simply put, my hyundai genesis is extremely susceptible to total and sudden tire failure. I have had the car for about 7 months and have had 6 tires blowout, even without hitting any potholes. The last time this happened, I had a tire side wall blowout as I left my driveway ,driving at a slow speed. I had it changed the next morning and within hours, another tire blew while I was driving at about 60 mile per hour on the nj garden state parkway, without hitting any road imperfections or potholes at all. It seems that the low profile tires are simply not up to simple , normal day to day driving. I am aware that many other genesis and equus owners have suffered the same, many times over, yet hyundai refuses to recognize the problem,blaming the tire manufacturers, even though this happened to me with 3 different brands and even to tires designed to run flat! I don't need to elaborate on the hazard created by tiers that blow out all the time especially when driving at highway speeds on congested roadways. I was lucky that I managed to avoid getting hit on the last incident by the hundred of cars passing by at over 60 miles per hour.
