When in motion, the vehicle starts to make a clanking sound repetitivly as if it was on a rotation. It's like a metronome best at 128bpm.

3 Wiper problem

The windshield wiper had problem for a few years, for which it stopped working once in a while and the movements were not smooth (like a jolt) sometimes. It stopped working eventually a few days ago.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2017

Driving home in rain storm and wipers stop working. Took me 2 hours to get home after numerous stops. Did research and found out recall on that model but my car was 17 days outside of the date. I find it strange that same issue and my vehicle in not in recall.

5 Wiper problem

My windshield wipers do not clear the windshield properly in inclement weather, my brakes sometimes make scrubbing sounds, my tires seem slippery sometimes when turning a curve, and my car jerks sometimes when pulling off after sitting still.

6 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2016

My wife and I have a 2012 Hyundai Genesis 3. 8 sedan. My wife is the primary driver. She came home one evening and told me that the car failed to stop and went into the intersection as she attempted to stop for a red traffic signal. I immediately drove the car down the street and observed that you had to pump the brakes to stop and the pedal went to the floor. I added some brake fluid and pumped the brakes. I drove the care the next few days and noticed that over time the same thing happened with the pedal going to the floor. I took the car to my mechanic and had all the brakes changed. That cost me over $320. 00. The mechanic advised me that the car had a faulty master cylinder. To shorten the story. Due to the dealer cost of from $275. 00 to $365. 00 for a master cylinder. I bought 2 online and 1 at oreilly auto parts. I spent $105. 00, $81, and $79. 00 for each respectively. Each time the mechanic advised me that the were not compatible. He was so conflicted by the process advised me to take the care to the dealer and told me that with only 91000 miles and a well maintained 4 year old car, it is unheard of for a master cylinder to be faulty. I contacted Hyundai and was told there was no recall nor was my vehicle covered by my factory warrantee. I am a retired auto theft officer so I decided to check with NHTSA for complaints and recalls. I am positive that this recall applies to my car. I have had the same process happen to me regarding the windshield wiper motor. Hyundai would not help so I found a motor at a junk yard. I paid to have it installed. However it only works at one speed. I would like it replaced and a refund for the cost incurred to find and replace it. I also would like the braking system repaired and compensation. Hyundai's recall number is 114. I would like to invoke the lemon law. .

7 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2015

What is likely a faulty turn signal stalk causes the vehicle's headlights to either flicker, shut off or flash the high beams regardless if it is stationary or in motion. It manifests itself in various ways; the most recent being on a 5 hour interstate trip. When signaling to change lanes, the high beams would flash which would in turn disturb drivers in front of me. Other times, the lights have flickered and/or turned off entirely for a brief period of time hindering night time visibility. . Read more...

8 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2015

This problem began occurring at around 60,000 miles. When either stationary or in motion, the windshield wipers would either not come on at all or would jerkily (is that a word?) make their way about halfway up the windshield and then freeze. Then at some random time, they would either jerk their way back to the parked position or continue jerking their way through the whole sweep and then back to the parked position, usually stopping once or more times on the way. This is a common occurrence according to posts found on the Genesisowners. Com site. . Read more...

9 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2014

The wipers would start to wipe then stop in the middle of the windshield, after turning it on and off over and over again (sometimes up to 30 seconds of non-movement), they finally start to move again. This repeated itself for the entirety of my drive to work (aprx 25 minutes) in the rain. I nearly ran into the back of someone because I could not see anything out of my windshield.
