general problems of the 2011 Hyundai Genesis

The car stops while driving and all the lights on the dash lights up. Happened a couple of times in the last 2 days, both the times the speed was around 20-30 mph. I am really worried about the issue and called the closest Hyundai dealer at san bruno, CA who gave an appointment in may to check it.

While driving on the highway at 65mph the driver front tire wables, the tires feel unsafe and not stable. When going over long road cracks on the highway the whole car wabbles and if I dont grab the stearing wheel really hard to not loose control of the vehicle. The esc light its always on so I know the traction or stability control is not working properly, also the tpm light is also not working because its always been on since purchased the car.

Car has a manual 6 speed transmission which had been replaced twice (once under warranty for 5th gear grind @ 45k miles and again after factory warranty expired with < 30k on new transmission). I had to pay over $2k out of pocket for a new transmission as Hyundai would not warranty it. The 6spd manual transmission is an extremely common defect for all Genesis coupe models, with many owners needing to replace it more than once and Hyundai will not do anything about it.

I recently purchased this car with only 35000 miles on it, and the 5th gear had already been grinding. Absolutely ridiculous for a 2011 car to have tranny issues that early on. I then took it to Hyundai to get it replaced under warranty and they replaced it. But there are 100s of pages of forums that have the same issue, now with only 43000 miles I can feel 5th starting to grind on upshifts again. . . I dont know what to do because I dont want to replace a transmission every year.

When accelerating while turning a corner the engine loses power completely. In a heavy traffic situation this has caused near accidents and oncoming drivers to slam on the brakes. Vehicle begins at a dead stop. 1/2 way thru the turn there is always a complete loss of power and car stalls for several seconds until power returns. This happens every time while accelerating around a corner. Scary.

After second time another window lift (failed without any use) fell down, went to dealer for repair. [the darkened window films were left scratched with open spaces at each repair. ] auto released to customer for a few days until parts would arrive, after recall service. Was told stop lamp switch replacement would fix all previous esc and transmission lockup complaints. Not! after leaving dealership when slowing to 20 mph with electronic doors locked and windows closed, tapped brake, caused automobile to lurch violently to a sudden stop in rush hour traffic. Smoke filled the interior and neither doors nor windows would open, and dash lights flashed intermittently on a random basis, with out logic, and died. Auto was immobilized and could not be shoved nor driver extracted by fire department response (2). Eventually was able to cause passenger power window (only) to lower halfway during final flash from lights. With help was able to escape. Trunk was opened with manual key (key fob inoperative) and swelled battery was melting down, with ventilation, did not explode. The oem battery location failed by sedimentation shorts from a "goosey" suspension. Dealer retrieved vehicle, after window lift replaced, demanded customer removal by putting bad battery from another vehicle in for jump start. Drove to nearest after market store for adsorbed glass mat (agm) battery to preclude future fires. Driver's door actuator total failure replaced (37631). Brake light switch replaced again (46704). Brake switch diode recall refused by dealerships that continue to also refuse to adjust emergency free play, at any cost. Porous oem tires replaced for safety. This car is considered unsafe to drive unless one window remains lowered for an escape path.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis coupe. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the gear box seized and shifted the vehicle into neutral. The contact mentioned the failure was recurring when driving at higher speeds. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was unable to be replicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 34,000.
