general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis - part 2

I was driving on a local highway in the center lane and the vehicle lost power suddenly. All of the indicators came on. I had to muscle the car off the road using momentum with no power steering crossing lanes of traffic. It was a very dangerous situation that could easily have created an accident. Previously the car lost power at a light and the navigation and back up screen has flickered and turned off and the music controls freeze. I took the car in to the dealership after it died the first time and they reported no error codes and did not repair the car. I immediately took the car in after it died on the highway and they are again reporting no error codes. This is a very dangerous situation to have my car suddenly lose power while driving.

Auto hold technology feature failed at a stop light. When on, auto hold illuminates white, and green when it is actively holding the vehicle in place, without the need to depress brake pedal. On a stop light car jerked forward and the auto hold illumination turned orange in color from green. Auto hold feature would not reset even when restarting vehicle. Dealership was able to reset, citing a shortage in the auto-hold unit, with a replacement part ordered. Potentially dangerous if there was anyone in front of the vehicle at the time of failure, as it could of resulted in a potential injury.

Back up camera did not function when vehicle was put in reverse. Back up camera came on when vehicle was put in drive and stayed on for a block or so while car was driven forward. Gps map then was activated, but display froze, then entire screen went blank. Video system then re-booted itself. This was repeated several times before the gps stayed on the video screen as it is designed to function. The intermittent operation of the gps was distracting and could have resulted in the driver not being able to view driving directions.

Driver's side passenger door lock does not electronically function--either by key fob or by driver's control. Passenger door must be manually locked and unlocked. This defect was present from time car was purchased new but was only discovered after car was out-of-warranty since passenger door had never been used until grandchildren began using back seat. This represents an safety hazard in the event that back-seat passenger needs to exit car quickly via electronic means. We are aware that this defect is quite common among 2012 Hyundai Genesis owners. Hyundai motors of America knows that this was a manufacturing design defect but thus far, is unwilling to support warranty repair. Warranty repair is quite costly, averaging $700-900, and this is likely the reason why hma has elected to publicly hide and ignore the issue.

The lcd information display located between the speedometer and tach is too dim to read during the day unless the car is in the shade. This creates a safety hazard since certain info is necessary while driving and cannot be seen under the stated conditions. The brightness cannot be adjusted. I have contacted Hyundai and they recognize the problem but said there is no repair available. It is possible this only applies to the 2012 non-rspec 5. 0 model since I have talked to other owners with the rspec and they don't have the problem. Other similar models on my dealer's lot have the same problem. Please reply, thanks.
