Hyundai Genesis wipers problems

Filed Apr 25, 2026 · Electrical · TX

I took my car in to Tomball Hyundai due to intermittent failure of the headlight switch and the wiper switch when both of these features are set to the ‘Auto’ setting. These are very intermittent issues, but as luck would have it, it was sprinkling on my drive to the dealership on [XXX] and I was able to capture the wiper issue via video on my phone which I shared with the service advisor. Then, fortunately, 2 days later, the service technician was able to verify the intermittent headlight failure. I was aware of a TSB (TXXH) which is meant to address this problem, however, Hyundai issued a superseded TSB a few months after the original, in which they deleted the wiper switch from the service. The 2015 Genesis multifunction switch is sold as a single integrated unit (P/N 93400-3M031), but Hyundai’s TSB 20-BE-009H-1 mandates a "hack" repair that leaves the failing wiper switch in place. It is my assertion that when Hyundai settled a class action lawsuit regarding this switch, they agreed to extend the warranty on the entirety of the Multifunction Switch Assembly (NOT just the Headlight portion of the switch) for 15 years and Unlimited mileage. The Hyundai National Customer Service Case Manager (Roobika, 714‑912‑2118 National Consumer Affairs) told me that my request of having the complete switch replaced was denied due to the vehicle being out of warranty and having 73,481 miles. *to be clear here - Hyundai HAS agreed to replace the Headlight switch only - their denial centers on the Wiper switch. Eager to find a solution, I suggested that I could cost-share. This was declined as well. I was only given the option of buying the whole switch myself and allowing them to provide the labor to install it. Furthermore, It is technically illogical to perform a warranty repair by disassembling an integrated unit to replace one half while ignoring the failure of the other half—especially when the labor required to access the part is identical.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. The contact had engaged the windshield wipers during a light rainstorm and noticed that the intermittent wiper function was not working as designed. The contact stated that gradually the wiper speeds were no longer functional, and only the high-speed option was operable. The contact had taken the vehicle to the local dealer who diagnosed that the gasket around the wiper motor had failed, and that water had entered the wiper motor and determined that the wiper motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred; however, the contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer and was advised that the vehicle was no longer under warranty and had to be repaired out-of-pocket.

Driving and car just quit. Clock turned, wipers went crazy, and then smoke came up the front windshield from the engine. I bailed and left it in the road. Awful and dangerous situation. Dealership wasn’t excepting Genesis anymore. Towed to a dealership 50 min away. Told the engine failed.

Takata recall" 4. The airbag light will not go off. Atlanta police stated I not drive the car and to report it. My family lives could be in danger. No mechanic wanted to touch it. I would very much like to this these items repaired, especially the airbag signal/light. I don't know if it will go off or not but I need this done before anything else. I will upload the picture via email. System issues. I purchased a used 2009 genesis sedan in september of 2015. We have noticed that several unusual issues have surfaced since the purchase.

About a month before the incident, the vehicle was fully imspected in official dealership, no issues reported. A few days before the incident, the wipers started working with the engine off; I scheduled an appointment for an inspection. The vehicle was leased with about 10 months left on the lease. On april 13, 2018 after driving for 1,5-2 hours, I parked it and went to the office for 10-15 minutes; on my way back to the vehicle I heard the fire trucks coming; as I was approaching my vehicle I realized that my vehicle was on fire. The inspector reported the engine explosion due to manufacturers problem. So basically happy to be alive as nobody knows what would had happened with me and my kids in the vehicle driving on a highway; so after more than 3,5 months hyundai finncial still did not close the case although they stated that they are in the process of paying off the vehicle. Nobody ever said sorry; I call to hyundai / hyundai financial every day and all they do is they tranfer me from one department to another; the case manager assigned to our case never picks the phone, never calls back, to reach him I need to call to the supervisor and complain and only than I receive a call from him. 2 months ago he stated he would close the case the coming monday. No actions since then so far.

My windshield wipers do not clear the windshield properly in inclement weather, my brakes sometimes make scrubbing sounds, my tires seem slippery sometimes when turning a curve, and my car jerks sometimes when pulling off after sitting still.
