Two problems related to air bag have been reported for the 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2009 Hyundai Genesis based on all problems reported for the 2009 Genesis.
The dash cover on my 2009 Genesis 4-door sedan has developed large cracks where the passenger side air bag is located. The concern is that this may cause the air bag to deploy inadvertently or increase the chance of flying shrapnel if/when the air bag should deploy during an accident. This problem started around 90,000 miles and has continued to get worse (the vehicle currently has approximately 125,000 miles). I took the vehicle to the dealer when the problem first appeared, but was told it was not a safety concern, and that it was not covered under the warranty. However, I feel this in fact could cause injury to anyone riding in the front passenger seat. 1 picture is attached.
This has been an ongoing issue, I have filed at least 4 complaints concerning a "soft pedal " issue. The dealer has inspected my vehicle recently as well as Hyundai America and I am still awaiting a response as to what was found. The vehicle was inspected on 1/22/2014. Note on service invoice states " dpsm has been out to drive and inspect vehicle. No person from parkway Hyundai can give any further information. This is a matter for Hyundai motor America. " it has been 5 months since the inspection and hma has still not contacted me. I don't know what is going on with this website but it nolonger shows the Genesis under Hyundai if searching for complaints,recalls or investigation. As we approach this holiday period I hope that there are no serious accidents as a result of the "soft pedal" issue as well as a read collision at low speed that triggers the head seat restraint to deploy and throws both front seat passengers forward and the seat belts won't deploy at this low speed. Just another complaint that hasn't been address. Is the NHTSA overloaded with all the recalls from indication over the years. Gm as an example.
