The trunk of the car stopped opening with the “open trunk button” from inside the car and also does not work with the key fob option. The trunk now needs to be opened by key from key fob everytime. Water is leaking through the trunk of the car and cause to have mold in the car. An electrical problem with the audio of the car stopped working. The radio or bluetooth no longer works due to the audio no longer working. The driver side front window does not work due to an electrical problem.
While driving on the highway (70mph) the front sunroof panel unexpectedly exploded raining glass all over the driver and vehicle. Prior to the sunroof exploding there were no signs of it being compromised (dents, scratches, cracks, etc. ). Very small shards of glass were impaled into the drivers head and hands. After trying to have the sunroof repaired by two separate Hyundai dealerships who were unable to perform the work, the vehicle had to be repaired by an auto body shop.
Tl the contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Genesis. While driving 25 mph in inclement weather, the windows fogged up. The contact stated that the defroster was activated, but failed to clear the windows. The contact stated that it was difficult to see out of the windows. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact previously contacted Hyundai greenfield (6133 s 27th st, greenfield, WI 53221, (414) 238-2000) and informed them of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Panoramic roof rear panel shattered. Vehicle was slowly transitioning from driveway to road surface over slight depression. Rear sunroof panel began to make popping noises that did not stop when I stopped moving. I got out of the vehicle and when I closed the door the rear panel shattered upwards, spraying glass bits onto me and the ground. Rear panel shattering was mostly contained by shatterproof film installed on the inside after receiving notice that these glass panels are prone to spontaneous implosions. Vehicle is presently at dealer being validated for extended warranty coverage.
During routine city street driving, the sunroof spontaneously made a loud explosion sound, shattered and fell into the car. Glass hit myself and my passengers while the car was in motion. When I went to the dealership to address the issue, I was told I would have to pay for the repairs or submit to my insurance. I have had this $40,000 car for 3 months, prior to this incident the trunk was leaking every time it rained and had to be repaired.
I was traveling east on i94 in minneapolis in snowy weather at about 9:30 pm on Feb 7. . Temp at 16 degrees. Needed to use the windshield washers. When I turned them on there was no washer fluid but the wipers went on. My windshield became completely obscured. I had to turn on my flashers, stop traffic in that lane in heavy traffic and had a dangerous and hard time getting to the shoulder. Turns out the fluid was frozen. I used snow to clear the windshield. It has now frozen 4 times in cold temps. I have had it freeze at temps as high as 18 degrees. I returns to working condition at about 28 or 29 degrees. Hyundai in aurora illinois puts the fluid in when I get an oil change and I never put fluid in. When it works there appears to be something besides pure water in the fluid as I observe a 'sudsing' effect. During my last oil visit on Feb 9 at a temp of 18 degrees, I had a Hyundai employee confirm that the fluid was frozen and the washers did not provide any fluid while the wipers activated.
