general problems of the 2010 Hyundai Genesis

While driving, throttle stuck wide open. It was like I was flooring the gas pedal. I managed to pull over and stop vehicle. I restarted and was able to drive home.

While driving the car, the car speeds up on its own without me pushing the accelerator. The car also has rev hang and the rpms rise by its self and stays their. Usually between 6500rpm. I have to press the break in order for the rpms to drop so its doesn't blow the motor.

I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis 3. 8 coupe 6-speed automatic with paddle and sport shift. I have had an ongoing issue with the vehicle for several months now not shifting properly. Sometimes it wont shift out of 1st gear and when it does it will unknowingly downshift and get stuck in a gear. Since the issue began, I have received several speeding tickets and had near death experiences due to the shifting. Sometimes it will increase and decrease speeds and the rpms will raise sometimes up to 6000 before it will shift or I have to place the car in park and turn off the ignition for the shifting to begin working properly again. I have to ask myself everyday if I am willing to risk my life for the issue because I have had so many near death experiences with this. It definitely needs to be looked into!!!.

On 4/18/13 at 2125 hours, unit 1 was traveling eastbound in lane two of northern avenue approaching north 59th avenue. Unit 2 was in lane two of eastbound west northern avenue stopped for a red light at the intersection with north 59th avenue. Unit 2, a bus, was parked in bus pull out just east of north 59th avenue on west northern avenue with the driver of the bus not in driver seat but standing in bus. According to driver of unit 1, while unit 1 was slowing to stop behind unit 2 the engine of unit 1 began racing and did not stop even as the driver of unit 1 pressed the brakes. Unit 1 struck unit 2 in the rear at least twice pushing unit 2 into intersection. Unit 2 driver stated after being hit at least twice by unit 1, unit 2 crossed intersection and stopped in front of the bus to get out of the way of unit 1. Unit 1 also crossed the intersection of north 59th avenue and unit 1 struck rear end of unit 3. Driver side passenger of unit 1 was treated by glendale fire lt157/b-shift and transported to hospital by southwest ambulance b-shift on incident no. 13-121969 and found to have fractured left humeral (elbow) by doctor f conjursi, medical record 1173763. Driver of unit 1 was issued citation no. 862591 for ars 28-701. A and ars 28-3151. A.

It does not shift properly causing it to decrease or increase speed without pressing the gas pedal. The problem also causes the vehicle to exceed recommended rpm level which causes the vehicle to get stuck in one gear and makes it difficult to stop the vehicle. This issue has caused instances where I have had to swerve off the road to avoid collision.

2010 Hyundai Genesis. Consumer states brake/ accelerator issues with vehicle the consumer stated six to eight months ago, he began to experience a troubling problem with the brake /accelerator, which manifested itself by frequently causing the vehicle to jump ahead or jerk forward when shifting his foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal usually when intending to come to a stop. At times, the tendency for the vehicle to continue to move forward required an immediate strong braking effort to overcome that tendency and to actually stop the vehicle. The consumer stated he had only experienced the problem, while in forward gear.

Car will not accelerate properly in 1st & 2nd gear and tends to want to stall when reaching a certain rpm; car will not go beyond 40 mph; check engine light comes on; unable to determine when the defect is about to occur making the car unreliable and unsafe to drive; defect occurs will vehicle is in mid-operation while driving on road regardless of speed. Defect(s) have resulted in several near collision experiences, since cars behind vehicle have almost rear-ended vehicle as they did not expect the car to decelerate with no brake light indication of the vehicle slowing down and is therefore a danger to drive. Driver unable to safely merge with traffic on major highways as the vehicle does not accelerate properly and will not go faster than 40 mph, making it impossible to merge seamlessly with traffic thereby placing driver and drivers of other vehicles in danger and safety risk. Driver unable to use side-roads as an alternate measure, as car does not accelerate properly and tends to want to stall when pulling off in 1st and 2nd gear resulting in cars behind vehicle almost rear-ending vehicle. Three attempts have already been made to repair the defect, yet defect continues to occur.

When starting the vehicle with foot on the clutch, it lurched forward hitting a parking barrier. Dealer denied mechanical causes. From the time I bought the car, it has accelerated on it's own, going to the max in rpms, at random times. I can take my foot off the gas and it will drive itself. When I try to come to a stop, it will accelerate and I have to counter by hitting the brake. When taken to the dealer, they couldn't "replicate" it. When I argued with the man, he said he would honor the warranty when they could replicate it, though the warranty is now expired. I asked for something in writing, he initialed the work order. Also, the front, under the bumper, is way too low and made of weak material, so when I have to go over any kind of dip, it drags, which has caused the piece to break. This also got up into the fender-well, which caused a hazard with my tires. I am stressed and scared of having a dangerous accident. I am considering trading the car in, but worry for the next owner. I no longer trust Hyundai. I feel like my safety is not a priority for the company. They do not search for the cause, just send me back out in a defective vehicle.

What I had believed to be somewhat of a nuisance problem has now become a very critical problem. A couple of times after purchasing this Hyundai Genesis coupe 2. 0 while trying to normally accelerate, the car virtually died. Acceleration flat spot. Somewhat similar to the old carbureted cars. Very infrequent, however, the other day losing acceleration almost caused a major accident. Very close.
