Electrical System Problems of Hyundai Genesis - part 1

I just purchased a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3. 8 4 door sedan 1/10/2025. Randomly lately the car does a slight jerk and the screen goes black, that happened about 5 times in just a few weeks. Twice the car shutoff and back on at slow speed coming to a stop, and then entering into a parking lot. Same day at 65-70 mph on the freeway it jerked hard and the engine turned off and on. Very scary and dangerous!! I did not see anything on recalls that would pertain to this happening. All recalls have been done on this car, that's what it indicated. Service guy wasn't sure. This is a random thing. I could leave my car with them but they'd have to drive it a lot for long periods before it might actually happen again.

When the car gets wet, it sends my dashboard lights flashing, and I’m able to put the car in gear without stepping on the brake, I brought it to numerous of Honda dealerships and other mechanical shops, and they are undetermined to find the cause.

The front rh and lh turn signal harness is defective. The turn signal bulbs burn out quickly even after replacing the bulb harness. When the bulbs are out you are unable to notify oncoming traffic that your vehicle is turning. I believe the dealer is aware of the issue. No inspections other than by the dealer. The vehicle does notify you the bulb is burned out by a rapid green turn signal light on the dash.

After car was taken to dealership to fix recalls on the drive home the car lost steering mid turn directly after fuses which were part of the recall started clicking then car completely shut off in the middle of the road.

I have spent over thousands in 2024 in a small amount of time, going to multiple shops, trying to figure out issues. I have been told these models are known for having ecu and electrical issues. My car will not set off any codes. I have greatly maintained my vehicle. I have had my keys reprogrammed, 2 new batteries, 2 new alternators, all new 6 fuel injectors, new map sensor, all new spark plugs and plugs, had my engine and transmission inspected, and when I am in traffic with my kids in the vehicle the immobilizer will set off and bog my car out in traffic and highways. This computer and electrical system is horrible and dangerous. The electrical is parasitic draining my alternator and battery although I have replaced twice in 2 month. No shop can figure out what is wrong with the ecu and electrical. It is draining my pockets, and putting my children and myself at saftely risk. I have done extensive research on this issue. I have seen many people, same car, same issue. Please help. My car will turn on and run fine. Put me in limp modes and even just bog out in traffic. I am very concerned.

Factory recall 24v-107: on [xxx] took car to haselwood Hyundai of bremerton wa. For manf. Recall Genesis starter solenoid water contamination. Recall was completed in 2 hours when driving home car went into emergency mode and shut down on freeway with completely dead battery. Was told by dealership they would not pay 1200 tow bill. Applied for aaa membership and was approved. Car was towed back to dealership on August 28th with approx. 100 miles driven since Aug 9th. Dealership had no idea that costs would be reimbursed by Hyundai. Had they known this the car would have been towed ASAP after breakdown. Note: this vehicle had no issues prior to this factory recall being installed. On August 29 service adviser brandon said alternator and battery needed replacement. This made no sense because car had no electrical problems prior to factory install. Authorized dealer to replace this equipment if necessary since I would be reimbursed. Sept 2nd paid dealer $1,567. 00 for repairs. After leaving dealer car ran for 62 miles went into emergency mode with completely dead battery. Sept 3rd car again towed into dealership.

There is an outstanding recall 24v107000. As of 9/17/2024, Hyundai does not have parts ready for the recall repair. I went to a Hyundai dealer on or about 7/31/2024 after receiving a notice from Hyundai that remedy is ready and that I should go to one of its dealers to have the repair. I was informed the parts were not available and needed to order them. No parts were provided from Hyundai for the recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Genesis. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 24v107000 (electrical system) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the instrument panel deactivated. Additionally, the headlights turned off unintendedly and the engine seized. The vehicle was able to restart however, the failure recurred. The dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,300. Parts distribution disconnect.

The headlights intermittently turn off when driving at night. Usually it’s related to using the turn signal, but sometimes it does it completely on its own. Puts others and self at risk as driving down remote roads in the dark and lights cutting out for several seconds can be deadly. Dealer claims they cannot replicate after having the car for nearly 13 weeks total. (7 weeks first time, did not fix issue, 6 weeks second time, “couldn’t replicate”) unknown. The dash will flash the headlight menu but no other warnings.

On [xxx], after driving on a rainy day (with a flood warning reported by nws), I noticed a strong burning smell in the garage the next day, and my car wouldn’t start. Unable to get it running, I had it towed to a nearby repair shop, where they found burn marks on the starter and starter harness. The repair costs were significant, so I filed a claim with my insurance under my comprehensive coverage. The following day, the insurance adjuster informed me that Hyundai had issued a recall (recall 254, 24v 107000) related to my issue and advised me to take the vehicle to Hyundai for repair. I had the car towed to the Hyundai dealer in cumming. However, after diagnosing the vehicle, Hyundai of cumming stated that it was not subject to the recall. I believe this incident is clearly part of the recall, as shown in the attached photos from the local repair shop. Since Hyundai of cumming claimed it wasn’t covered, my insurance company requested a detailed explanation and additional photos, but Hyundai of cumming has been unresponsive for over a month. I reached out to Hyundai motor USA, but they simply provided the same information as Hyundai of cumming, without any investigation. During this process, I incurred nearly $1,000 for a rental car, which was a significant expense for me. Two months after the incident, Hyundai of cumming offered me two options: a) pay out of pocket for repairs, or b) remove the vehicle from their shop. Since the car wouldn’t start, I had no choice but to pay for the repairs. I finally got my vehicle back on October 19, 2024, three months after the incident, with total costs around $6,000, including the rental. I still don’t understand why Hyundai of cumming believes this burned starter solenoid incident is not part of the recall. As a typical customer, I feel powerless against this large corporation, despite knowing this issue should be covered. If you need anything else from me, please feel free to reach out anytime. Thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act.

This has happened a few times the first time I was driving and the headlights flicked on and off on the dash it showed it switched from auto to off by its self it has done that a few times. The time that I was driving on the highway and the lights when out during the night I was driving 65mph over a pass with no warning I had to turn them on because they did not come back on by them self. I contacted the Hyundai dealership they told me there was a TSB for it but the problem would have to happen while they are driving it so they could fix it under warranty. This is a huge safety risk because they note "certain vehicles may exhibit intermittent headlight flickering while driving with the light switch on auto light mode" in there TSB and it says " intermittent" witch means "not happening regularly or continuously" so it doesn't happen they wont cover it under warranty. And it happens at random times witch causes a safety risk because if the light out it can cause a fatal accident. I contacted Hyundai about this my self and they told me the same thing that the dealer has to have it happen to them or its not covered. Please look into this it needs to be recalled TSB 20-be-009h-1.
