My car wont start. When I press the start button everything turns on but it wont start. It functions like the car is ready to drive. For example, it says drive to display tire pressure. The start button says the car is on. I can change gears, the radio works, back up camera works but the car didnt start. This happened before when there was a recall to the starter relay switch. Im wondering if its the same thing again. After waiting over 4 hours the car was able to start. Then again today same issue. There are no warning lights or system failure lights coming on to indicate theres any issue.

UNKNOWN I drove it to work then it started spilling oil and wouldn't start so got it towed over to a shop and got it diagnosed and they said it was the motor and they didn't work on motors so I found a shop that did work on motors and they put a new used engine in and then the shop told me that all it needed was flashed and it will work again so I went to hyundai to get that done and they told me they couldn't get it done because of 6 codes the shop needed to get off and fixed so I waited some more for them to fix it they still didn't so I was not going to pay them anymore so here it sits in my parking lot broken down still

My 2016 Hyundai Genesis has several open recalls. I cannot get a dealership to help me get these issues resolved. One recall in particular Hyundai recall number 254 is causing major safety issues. My car does not start 90% of the time without being jumped and now the car will die out while driving. It has caused me to almost wreck several times. I have called all of the local Hyundai dealerships none of which say they can get me in for weeks and that there is no fix for my problem. If I do get to someone to book an appointment, when they hear the problem they put me on permahold and then the line disconnects! This is a major safety issue and needs to be fixed by Hyundai immediately.

While driving the vehicle with approximately 113,200 miles on it, as the original owner, the car engine started to operate erratically. then the check engine light came on and then the check oil light came on and, after a short period of driving, the car stalled out and would not start up. This stalling out happened in a left turn lane of a very busy road. Two men in a vehicle that stopped behind me got out and pushed me off of the roadway about a block away from a dealer. The car was manually pushed into the dealership. The mechanic checked and the oil was full. The car is available, in my garage, for inspection upon request. The number 1 cylinder valve spring was broken and the engine jumped the timing on both sides with $2792.53 to $7,086.78 for parts plus labor to repair. At 86,283 miles, while driving in my village the number 3 intake valve spring broke and was repaired. At 51,574 miles, while driving on the interstate, the number 7 exhaust valve spring broke and was repaired. All three times the vehicle operated erratically. The car was in traffic each time this occurred and my safety and the safety of others were put at risk. I have all the receipts from all three breakdowns including the diagnosis. The engine is apart now and I have the parts list and labor costs from the dealership for the work that needs to be done. Initially I was told by the dealer that I needed to have all 32 valve springs and rocker arm assemblies replaced according to a Technical Service Bulletin. When I protested that they did not do that during the previous repairs the dealer said they would only replace the one that was damaged. That is why there are two parts estimates. I have them both. The check engine light came on just after the engine started to operate erratically and the check oil light came on shortly thereafter. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they could do nothing.

Vehicle suffered complete loss of power. Would not start on random occasions, but would then power on after lifting trunk cover to access battery. It appears that the positive battery cable connection box has a design flaw in which it helps to support the trunk cover. Over time with loading and unloading trunk, this is causing the terminal to twist and the clamp that holds the battery terminal to the post will eventually not provide enough pressure to ensure a firm connection to the battery. This leads to complete loss of power in the vehicle at any time.

"takata recall" > my 2011 hyundai genesis sedan has been granting many problems with starting. Sometimes it will start up immediately, then sometimes it will start slowly or not start at all and simply revert to a clicking and no start. This seems to also be giving many other drivers problems as I look online. Please update this information as I do not wish to be left stranded. The vehicle is off when this problem occurs.

The engine doesn't turn over, and according to the mechanics at the dealer, it appears that the "engine is locked up". Prior to the car just stopping while I was driving, none of the engine indicator lights came on. This car has 23,000 miles. The mechanics have contacted the warranty department who have requested pictures of the oil pan. I received an oil change exactly one month before this incident and no one at jiffy lube noted any problems.

The car will not start when the temp outside is ~40 degrees f or lower outside. It will crank non stop (push button start) but won't ever start. Car battery is only two months old. Cranks fine when the outside temp raises back up to around 45 degrees f and up. While driving today on the interstate, on the bridge, the car randomly lost all engine power. Trying to step on the gas pedal would result in the car studdering. I turned on the emergency signal and just cruised into the side lane out of traffic. Turned the car off and on and noticed the RPM idled at 1500 RPM which is insanely high. I put it in 1st gear and gave it gas, and nothing happened. The RPM meter wouldn't go up. After a few more times of cutting the engine on and off and the engine wouldn't start a few times also, it finally started and seemed to work normally. Now the car has a check engine light on.
