general problems of the 2009 Hyundai Genesis

Engine just shuts off while driving. It becomes difficult to steer and control. I was barely able to move to the side of the street and the car behind me almost ran into me because of my loss of power. There are no warning lights and the radio, etc. All stayed on during this event. I had to put the car in park and restart the engine.

At approximately 7:50am on my way to work, heading westbound on rodeo rd and was going to make a left turn at cloverdale my car stalled. During the stall the engine cutoff and the electrical power in the car seemed to reset itself. As I was coming to a stop, I could feel the brakes not working and I put the car into park and tried to restart the engine by pushing on the start/stop button. When that didn't work, all the power in the car went out and nothing worked, no emergency lights, no power anything. I called roadside assistance and had them tow to the nearest dealership. This is the second time this has happened. The first was on Sunday night September 6th, 2015 at around 8pm in san jose. I put that as a complaint on this system at that time.

Had a similar problem earlier today while taking the car out to get dinner. As I was approaching the freeway exit my car suddenly stalled and the steering wheel seemed to stiffen and the navi screen went out then back on. I pulled over emergency lane and waited to see what would happen and music continued up again from the usb port but I couldn't change the song. On the navi screen where usb setting is saying " initialization failed". So I pulled the usb stick to reset it and got it to work. I was able to go to dinner then drive back home without incident. But later on that night I tried to start my car but as soon as I hit the start button everything died. No power to anything no alarm no use of keyless entry no power at all. Then I come back to the car a few hours later that night and open the trunk manually with the key to get something and as soon as I slam the trunk down all the power came back hids, brake lights, lexicon system music playing. Except when I try to turn on the engine with the start button it won't start. Then everything shuts off like before I'm at a loss. But eeriely I been having problems like the previous poster with topping of gas issues because the car doesn't know when to stop pumping gas sometimes when full and a few times the car spewed out some fuel. I'm not sure if that is related to my recent stall incident but I've plans to driving from san jose back home to los angeles tomorrow on labor day and I'm scared to. What if the car stalls on mountain freeway over pass and it stalls and lose steering and brakes. I don't know if the dealer is even open labor day. What should I do? help!.

While driving and attempting to raise the steering wheel height the steering wheel would only lower obstructing the gauges making it difficult to see speed and making exit from the vehicle challenging.

I missed my right hand turn that I usually make to exit my community, so I stopped and put the vehicle in reverse using the backup camera as a guide. I noticed that I was getting too close to the sidewalk curbing and I noticed a large tree not to far from the curbing, so I turned my body around to my right side to get a visual look. While I was doing this I put my foot on the break pedal,turned my body back to a normal driving position and the brake pedal went right to the floor never stopping the vehicle. The steering wheel suddenly moved to the right and then I heard a large sound ( the rear end of the vehicle crashing into the tree that I saw. ) all of this that happened took about seven to ten seconds!! I released my seat belt and got of the car to see the damage. The rear end of the bumper on the passenger side was severely damaged, the quarter panel on the same side was blown out and the top of the trunk toward the right side was actually ripped and dented. Ironically I had an appointed with the dealership to check the brakes the same day of the accident. I was determined to find out why the brakes failed. So I drove the vehicle knowing I had no brakes and miraculously made it to the dealership. The service personal saw how badly the vehicle was damaged and I explained to them what had happened. One of the girls in service department, I don't remember her name, completed the paper work and I was told I had to leave the vehicle. She also told me that there would no charge for any repairs because thats how Hyundai treats their customers thats' when old light bulb went off and I asked her if there were any recalls on vehicle and she said no. The next day I saw the repair form and that brake fluid was replaced twice and failed twice. He noticed that the auto antilock braking system module failed. He replaced that brakes o. K. I received back injury,under doctors care.

I was driving out of my community to an appointment I had with Hyundai dealership to check brakes when I missed right turn. I stopped the car putt it in reverse using camera as my visual. I noticed I was getting closer to curb and sidewalk so I turned my body to my right and saw there was a big tree close to sidewalk. I was turning back to normal driving position and applying the brakes at same time when the pedal went completely to the floor,the steering moved to the right, never stopping the car. I heard a loud crashing noise and my body being severely jerked back and forth. I noticed the auto collapsing head rest popped up. I removed my seat belt put the car into park and went to see the damage. Sure enough I had hit the tree which showed no sign of damage but the rear bumper on the passenger side was severely damaged,quarter panel was blown out and top of the trunk middle right was actually ripped and torn. I was determined to see why the brakes failed so I drove the car without any brakes and miraculously made it to dealership. One of service girls saw my damaged car and asked what happened. I told her brakes failed. She told me not to worry because they will fix car without any charge because thats how Hyundai treats their customers. I asked if there were recalls on the car, she said no. They told me my car will be ready next day. I went next morning and asked for the report on car which said brake fluid was changed twice and brakes failed twice. The service tech noticed auto anti locking brake module failed. He put in a new one, replaced braking fluid for third time, test drove the car and said brakes ok. When driving car brakes felt better. At home I started to feel light headed and few days latter back and neck pains started to get worse. Pain was so bad I went to urgent care center, gave me an injection and predizone for inflammation and pain. I'm under pain doctors care.

Tilt steering wheel will not go up which causes me the inabilithy to read the tach, speed and idiot lights.

On July 15th while driving my 2009 Hyundai Genesis, I found myself upside down in a ditch on a country road. Witnesses stated I was not speeding. I was fully alert when they approached,having released my seatbelt,turned off the motor, unlocked the doors. Subsequent heart,cranial etc exams resulted in a possible diagnosis of syncope. I wonder if there have been other reports on this vehicle?.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) I bought the new Hyundai Genesis (motor trend of the year 2009). I soon realized (within 200 miles of new car ownership) that car was pulling to the left (sever pull) and to maintain a constant pressure to the right side on the steering (steering at 15 degree right angle) to maintain car drive straight. Very soon I researched the unique problem. Almost all Hyundai Genesis owners have made similar complaints to Hyundai dealers. Hyundai has been hiding a huge potential problem with new Genesis model (2009). Many owners have been complaining and no action is being taken by the company. Hyundai is trying to blame this issue on tires - that is deflect their issue to someone else. But this is not the case. To verify, research this problem by google. Com - "Hyundai Genesis steering issue and left or right pull" and you will get more than hundred similar complaints from new owners since 2008/2009 model release. I have been to the dealer 3 times to fix this issue within 3000 miles - but Hyundai dealers are just performing alignments - but doesn't fix the problem. We need help from NHTSA (government) as thousands of customer like myself are stuck - and a powerful foreign corporation is unwilling to budge!! please help - I am willing to donate my car for your testing. But this is a disaster waiting to happen as steering doesn't drive straight and veers of to left (or right). Do americans need to die before you take any actions? please call me [xxx] to discuss. Thanks.

Iam from iraq. . My car I bought 2 years ago was functioning properly & now I cannot find any maintenence Hyundai dealer near by as I love this car & want help for maintaining & returning to function properly because every thing needs maintenance in my car from engine & stability control in roads. . . Please to help me.

Have 2009 Hyundai Genesis and had a big problem with the car pulling to the left and then the right. Has been at the dealership over 5 times, multiple repairs of alignment and can't correct the issue. I even had 3 independent shops evaluate and then confirm issue and now Hyundai states they can no longer confirm problem. They were surprised when I produced the independent opinions. I will not place my family in this vehicle. Hyundai needs some pressure to correct this issue and their behavior has been appalling. I realized this issue the day after I picked up the car and Hyundai has been very resistant to help but I think it is because they can not correct the problem.
