general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis

Genesis stalls at slow speeds either turning for going straight. Replaced throttle body, but still stalls. Also has trouble starting sometimes. Battery is new.

As I exited the freeway I shifted out of 6th gear (70mph) and pressed the brakes taking it down to 40mph. The rpms continued to rev up to 6k and beyond. The brakes did respond, so I felt there wasn't immediate danger. I immediately pulled over to the shoulder and stopped my car by turning off the key. Turning the car back on, not in any gear, not pressing the gas, the rpms began to rev just as high again. So I turned the key off again. I decided to try again, started the car, it began revving up the rpms. I shifted into first gear to see what would happen and it began to decrease in rpm. Then it became normal. But now there is a knocking noise in the engine when I accelerate that was not present before. It's less noticeable at 1st and 2nd gear, but gets more pronounced from 3rd gear onward. There were no warning lights, no check engine light. I took it to firestone where they told me it's possible that the engine may need replaced. I did find there was a report of engine processing flaws that could result in a knocking noise on various news sites but nothing official. This car has only 40k~ miles. It was manufactured in 2011 as I bought it hot off the lot at 6miles on the odometer. I get regular oil changes using synthetic oil only. It's mint. No reason for this to be occurring.

Cylinders were misfiring. Dealer said it was due to computer software issue which caused insufficient fuel delivery to the cylinders. Dealer updated software which seems to have remedied the problem. When the problem occurred, the car lost some of its power and vibrated. I was on a side street with little traffic at the time, so the hazard was minimal. However, if the same situation happens to others on the freeway or in heavy traffic, or when full power is needed to avoid an accident, it could be hazardous.

When driving our car, it just dies with no for warning what so ever. This has happened 7 or 8 times over the past two years, so it is not something that happens all the time but when it does it can be extremely dangerous. This has happened driving down interstate all the way to slowing down for stopped traffic. We started working with fort mill Hyundai over two years ago and have been told things like our oil change was past due to my wife doesn’t drive the car hard enough, both laughable responses to a very serious issue. We were getting nowhere with the dealer so I contacted Hyundai corporate and again got a laughable response from their internet team. When I pushed the issue and brought up someone was going to get hurt or killed and they would hear from an attorney they had their regional manager out of atlanta call me (I believe his name is robert staples), he talked me into taking the car to keith hawthorne Hyundai as the fort mill location did not follow their internal procedures. In working with the keith hawthorne team they felt they could help me out. After having my car for 10 days they called me and told me to pick up the car as Hyundai will not authorize them to do anything on the car. I completely realize the technology and complexity of todays automobiles and was trying to remain patient and work with them even though I felt it put my family at risk. Unfortunately Hyundai has made the decision to not work with me leaving me no option but to reach out to you. A side note, if you do a quick google search you will see we are not the only Genesis owner having these problems, so Hyundai has a bigger problem than just my car.

My car was serviced 3 times at dealer due to gasoline smell issue after driving 2 hours continuously at high temperature 100+. I have to inhaling the gas most time when I drive back to home. Hyundai is trying to ignore this hazard/safety/health issue. . . What will happen if I get hit by other vehicle while gas fume is releasing from my car? how about other people seating in my car while I drive this car?.

An alarming smell of gas fumes could be smelled emanating from the driver's rear wheel well. I took it to the jim click body shop that had recently repaired the car in that area and they found no leaks but verified the fumesa. The next day I took it to jim click Hyundai at the auto mall to be repaired . They could not reproduce the problem. The dealer has reported several occurrences of this type. This is a very hot temp time here as an aside.
