The car stops while driving and all the lights on the dash lights up. Happened a couple of times in the last 2 days, both the times the speed was around 20-30 mph. I am really worried about the issue and called the closest Hyundai dealer at San Bruno, CA who gave an appointment in May to check it.

What owners say
I have a 2015 Genesis Sedan 3.8 My cars instrument cluster glitches! Sometime when driving or only starting the car my cluster lights up all of the warning lights. Also it shows incorrect speed. I have found that Hyundai did recall some of of the 2015 models with this problem but mine doesn’t qualify for the recall! Some of the safety features of the car like the bsd system stopped working cause of this.
Upon driving many warning lights light up and make warning signals on the instrument dashboard. These warning lights light up at the same time or in succession and include: check bid system, tire pressure, check engine light, skid control, check bsd system, and others. In addition, brakes become sticky and steering is affected. Worse yet, car slows down on its own as it engages crash avoidance system.
When driving at night with headlights on auto, I put the turn signal on, and all lights (interior, dash, and headlights) randomly go out. This also happens randomly at night when changing lanes (using turn signal) and I must quickly turn them on manually. This specifically happens when using turn signal stalk, all lights will turn off unexpectedly. Big safety hazard for driving at night.
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
When driving at night with headlights on auto, I put the turn signal on, and all lights (interior, dash, and headlights) randomly go out. This also happens randomly at night when changing lanes (using turn signal) and I must quickly turn them on manually. It is very frightening and has happened several times so I took it to chantilly hyundai and they could not recreate it so did nothing. This is a significant safety issue and has been reported to the federal safety agency 5 times, by different people all over the country. Something has to be done.
On 8/3/19 driving on academy st. In newark nj @7:50 am, at the red light on academy & washington st. My brakes failed with no warning, and I rolled thru a red light where the car stopped in the middle of the intersection. I was able back up avoiding an accident as a bus waited. All the warning lights were flashing after my brakes failed. I pulled into a parking lot a few yards away, and called genesis, which said they received an alert on the adaptive cruise control, and I asked why they were no alerts on the impending brake issues, as I had received a prior alert on another issue dealing with the fuel vapor harness. I called the dealership to drop of the car on 8/5/19. They diagnosed the issue as corrode rear brake lines, and brake hydraulics, and was be repaired under warranty( I had purchased an extended warranty from the hyundai genesis dealer at the time of purchase in 8/2019), and it appears this is the warranty covering the repairs, not the balance of hyundai's vaunted warranty., my vehicle has only 20,038 miles on it, so heavy usage is not the issue here. It appears the were bad parts on the car, and I was just lucky to have escaped a bad accident that morning. So far, the car has been at the dealership since 8/5/19, with no information as to where the repairs stand, or if the vehicle is repairable. We have two of these vehicles in the family and are concerned, and are keeping a close watch on the other.I have reason to believe there may other owners driving these cars with similar problems quite unknown to them.
When stopped at the traffic lights on a city street, the engine stalled for no reason. All lights came on. I had to put the gear in neutral and start the car again. This is at least the fifth time it happened. Previous filed odi number 10606872 and 10746269. Weather condition: above 75 degrees
Stalled while making right turn into our driveway. All dash lights were on. This is at least the sixth time it happened. Previous filed odi number 10606872, 10746269, and 11221909. Weather condition: above 75 degrees
Stalled twice on the same day - stalled while turning right at the entrance of roundabout at local school. Car lost control due to stall and went cross the opposite lane. All dash lights were on similar to turning car on without turning engine. Fortunately no cars on the opposite side. Quickly shifted to neutral and tried to start the engine. It took 2-3 secs for the engine to start. - stalled again 2 hours later on the same outing when turning right to local restaurant. Car lost control going into parking lot. All dash lights were on. - this is at least the tenth time it happened in our 6 years of ownership with 100k miles on the car. Previous filed odi number 10606872, 10746269, 11221909, 11221913 and 11221917. - weather condition: above 80 degrees. It is possible that the issue has to do with hot weather. Purely speculation here. I also reported may 23rd, 2015 incident to hyundai customer service back in june 29th, 2015. There were no reply from hyundai. I will file another compliant to hyundai again. Very frustrated. For reference, I came across these similar cases while doing my research that others complained.
