Car shuts off while driving for no reason. Happens last time on the beltway. No check engine light or warning that it will cut off. Doesn’t happen at the mechanics. No one knows why it happens. I see this is an ongoing issue for Genesis.

Submitted complaint of unsafe fumes /gas smells emitting from engine and into cabin of car to site on 10/23/2023 for my VIN the complaint I see is under tires this should be under engine I said nothing about tires it's a 2012 Hyundai Genesis bh 4 door sedan battery wasn't holding charge engine idles high and low poor gas mileage and sluggish brake light always on even after repair.

I bought the car new, it has 39k miles on it. 5k miles ago while repairing the water pump under the 10 year powertrain warranty, I reported to the dealership the engine was making bad knocking/grinding sounds at startup and the oil consumption was high. The dealership dismissed this as "normal" for this car. 2 weeks ago the engine seized up without warning, no loss of power or harshness, no engine check light or low pressure warning. I had just left the i15 in rush hour traffic traveling at 70mph. The starter could barely turn the engine, I thought it was a flat battery. After some time I managed to restart the engine that now sounded like a machine gun and limp a few miles home. I tried replacing the oil, which I do on a regular basis, and it contained metal fragments. The warranty expired in Dec 21 but I still contacted the dealership. They have inspected the car and report engine damage requiring $32,000 of parts. Both the dealership and myself have contacted Hyundai corp. And opened a consume affairs case on 5/17. Yesterday, 5/24, the case manager spoke to me to get details and obtain evidence I might have including original proof of ownership (documents he should already have). He told me he would have a decision in 2 to 4 weeks. I asked about leaving the car at the dealership, and he replied that it was the dealerships decision but I would probably need to remove it. I would consider the car dangerous to drive, but the case manager does not seem to consider this and my impression is that Hyundai will refuse any responsibility for this problem. After googling this, I see you have sued Hyundai for what appears to be exactly the same manufacturing problems in other engines from the same time and wonder if these should also apply to the 5. 0 liter engines. The car is currently still at the dealership and available for inspection.

At approximately 10:30 pm. While driving on hwy at fairly good speed of 73-75 mph, while on cruise control, the engine died and steering became difficult to none at all, all while engine was completely off. Car could not be started again. Vehicle is currently non-operable and parked. It appears I am the third owner of the is vehicle. Your assistance is appreciated.

At 31,500 the air conditioning compressor failed. There are numerous posts from other owners about the compressor failing. Hyundai will not share the TSB's about this known issue. An ac compressor should last at least 50,000 miles and in reality a lot more miles. The vehicle was in my garage parked and the compressor went bad. I found out the next time I started the car and the compressor did not work. The compressor insides were plastic according to the Hyundai mechanic jack that worked on the car at san tan Hyundai. The federal government should not let Hyundai sell junk then charge for replacements.

Engine suddenly stops at low speed. It immediately will restart but all power assists are lost until restart. It does seem limited to warmer weather and the automobile is fully warmed up. Has happened 4 times. First time was July-2017 and most recently was August-17, 2018. The dealer says they cannot find any error code or duplicate the problem.

While making a right turn onto ramp engine falls cuts off and I have no control over steering, breaks or anything. Finally got it on to the side of road and put it in park and it cracked right up. This is very scary. What if I had been going fast down the road and could not stop the car. Someone could be killed like this. I decided to look it up on google and found out that lots of other have had the same identical problems and no mechanic or anyone can find anything. Hyundai needs to be held accountable for this and fix there miss up but of course it will take people being killed first.

Engine will shut off while driving at around speeds of 20 mph. The brakes and steering will stop. Happens sporadically not often but scary. Has had happen about 5 times within a year period.

Every time my car is idle, whether at carport, street light or heavy traffic, the engine runs really rough sounds/feels like it is going to turn off (stop running)also when ac/heater & radio are on it gets worse! it's scary to think I may get stuck in middle of freeway/street every time car is at idle. I've taken it to Hyundai dealer from day one for the issue and even let them know it's still happening every time I take it for engine oil change or other scheduled maintenance and told every time they can't find issue!! I do not remember specific dates, nor did I save all the paper work since I bought the car in 2012! shouldn't dealer have records in their computers? it's been on going since I bought the car in 2012!!.

While driving straight on a level city street at night at about 30 mph, without notice or hesitation, the engine completely quit/shut down--no power brakes or steering. I pulled over and the car coasted to a stop. All the lights went on on the dash and headlights stayed on, so there was battery power available. I placed the car in park and it restarted and drove normally. However, this has now happened three times now in last 6 months without warning. --very dangerous.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. While applying the brakes and coming to a stop, the vehicle suddenly shut off. During the incident, the instrument panel indicators illuminated and the air conditioning fan continued to operate. The contact was able to immediately restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to autonation Hyundai located in columbus, georgia, but the failure could not be duplicated and no repairs were performed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 172,000.

While driving home, the car ac started blowing hot and the dash panel lit up, the engine turned itself off and I coasted to the side of the road. After stopping, I pressed on the brakes and pushed the start button and the car started right up and I drove home, no further problems. This was on a las vegas city street. This is the 6th time this has happened in less than a year, twice it was on the freeway! we just picked up the car from the dealership on Friday, today is Monday, they claimed that they couldn't duplicate the problem, but didn't know that I had documented the mileage and they did not even test drive the vehicle!.

Driving home on the 405 fwy last night my Genesis r-spec 5. 0 lost all power, electrical and steering. Fortunately, I was on the right lane and was able to maneuver the vehicle off the fwy. I had no lights, no emergency flashers, complete shutdown of power. It was about 9pm and dark luckily it was not in a lane or this could have been fatal as I could not turn on any lights! extremely dangerous and have reported my incident to Hyundai customer care. Vehicle was towed to dealership pending diagnostics.

I was turning to park in my parking space and all of a sudden the car began to accelerate with such speed that I thought it would jump the curb and crash into my home. I was unable to stop the car and the brakes were unresponsive. It hit the curb and finally came to a stop with a terrible shudder/noise.

While driving home today my car killed dead which caused the power steering to go out while I was turning off fm1960 onto kenswick in humble TX which is a very busy street. This is the 3rd time that this has happened I wrote a letter back on 5-22-15 to Hyundai warranty department and have not been notified by them. This is very dangerous I could have been rear ended and god knows what else. Please have this matter checked into with Hyundai. Thank you very much.

The car just completely shut down. Fortunately, I had just turned for home on a 25 mph street so I was going slow enough that I could manage to at least get the car to the side of the road. Do not know what would have happened 15 minutes earlier if it had shut down on the busy interstate I was on. It did start back up again, but now am afraid to drive it anywhere. Have contacted Hyundai, but if there follow-up is anything like it has been in the past, it will be a waste of my time. They will just say that they cannot reproduce the problem and send us a coffee mug hoping that will resolve the issue. We have had numerous previous electrical issues: such as car starting back up by itself after being shut off, the radio literally popping on and off, the radio locking on a station (you could change channels, but the same station kept playing), the nav turning on and off by itself. The car had been doing okay this year until this most recent incident where it just flat shut off. Do not trust Hyundai to solve the issue and it is to scary to drive. And I don't believe that there is a lemon law in this state. No matter what, I can assure you that this will be my last Hyundai.

This same issue has happened about 5 times over the last year. But 2 times in the last few weeks. Low speed with a slight incline in the road, the car completely shuts off. Had to coast to a stop put car in park and then restart. The restart is fine and the car drives as normal.

Upon starting my car the engine was revving. I thought it was doing that because it was extremely cold out. I let it warm up a little. I put the car in drive it begin to accelerate by itself going up to 40 miles while in a parking garage. I managed to finally stop the car by flooring the brake petal & emergency brake. I turned the car off and restarted it and it started revving again! I called the Hyundai dealership to report what had happened.

I was trying to turn left onto a cross street and as soon as I got moving the car lost power for a few seconds that started going again. . . This as happen 4 or 5 times and I only owned this car for 3 weeks. Hyundai can't duplicate this happening. . . . Its on the Hyundai forums and they sent me here.

The common denominator for what I experienced has been that the car is moving slowly, 5-20 mph (7th or 8th gear), and you floor the accelerator while changing the lane (to merge quickly). All that happens for 1-2 seconds is that the car coasts at the speed you were going (absolutely no power is applied to the wheels), and you see the revs going up and the transmission shifting to a lower and lower gear (but not sending any of that power to the wheels), until it gets to the 2nd or 3rd gear and then your head snaps back as it accelerates very quickly (but 2 seconds too late). So instead of the expected takeoff you get 2 seconds of coasting while the car in the lane that you got into is getting uncomfortably close and has to brake to prevent an accident. This is extremely dangerous and unexpected.
