Car is shutting off when stopped. When it shuts off, the engine light comes on, the battery lights, the eps, the master warning light, the fca system light, and the epb. When the engine shuts off, I still have power to my car and the radio still playing but nothing to my engine. I brought my car to 2 different mechanic and brought it to the dealership today and they are saying there’s nothing wrong with my car. My car have been shutting off all this month and that’s not normal,.

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.

The oil low-pressure warning light is frequently on while the engine is operating from idle to approximately 2,000 rpm. Engine operation is normal, including high performance. Complaints of this condition abound on Genesis forums. Beside the lack of a true low oil pressure warning that may result in severe engine damage, a safety issue is present if that damage occurs on roadways with no way to escape traffic flow.

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.

The abs light stays on no matter what ive tried resetting it and everything and it wont work, the electrical system in the car sometimes doesnt work properly this regarding the headlights and interior buttons, the transmission on the car since I have bought it has a really dangerous kick back on it in the transmission jolts the car really hard to the point its dangerous to drive on dry and rainy days because the tires will lose traction and I will have to get the traction back under control due to the kick back in this transmsion problem it has caused the engine to give out also.

While driving the vehicle with approximately 113,200 miles on it, as the original owner, the car engine started to operate erratically. Then the check engine light came on and then the check oil light came on and, after a short period of driving, the car stalled out and would not start up. This stalling out happened in a left turn lane of a very busy road. Two men in a vehicle that stopped behind me got out and pushed me off of the roadway about a block away from a dealer. The car was manually pushed into the dealership. The mechanic checked and the oil was full. The car is available, in my garage, for inspection upon request. The number 1 cylinder valve spring was broken and the engine jumped the timing on both sides with $2792. 53 to $7,086. 78 for parts plus labor to repair. At 86,283 miles, while driving in my village the number 3 intake valve spring broke and was repaired. At 51,574 miles, while driving on the interstate, the number 7 exhaust valve spring broke and was repaired. All three times the vehicle operated erratically. The car was in traffic each time this occurred and my safety and the safety of others were put at risk. I have all the receipts from all three breakdowns including the diagnosis. The engine is apart now and I have the parts list and labor costs from the dealership for the work that needs to be done. Initially I was told by the dealer that I needed to have all 32 valve springs and rocker arm assemblies replaced according to a technical service bulletin. When I protested that they did not do that during the previous repairs the dealer said they would only replace the one that was damaged. That is why there are two parts estimates. I have them both. The check engine light came on just after the engine started to operate erratically and the check oil light came on shortly thereafter. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they could do nothing.

The engine oil pressure sensor is failing on a lot of these vehicles at around 60k miles. The repair is costly due to where the sensor is located. Repair is more than $1000 dollars for a part that costs $180. I believe a precedent was set when in korea Hyundai was forced to issue a recall. . Read more...

I was driving the car, and without warning, it just said engine overheating and shut off. If I had pulled out in front of someone, I could easily have gotten killed. There was no prior indication of anything wrong. Just riding down the road and it just shut off for no reason and would not restart. Towed it to the dealership and they told me that I need a new electronic control module and quoted a price of $4,000. That is freaking outrageous for something that should never have gone wrong in this car. I researched online and there are multiple Hyundai Genesis sedan owners have had a problem with the electronic control module going out for no reason. This is something Hyundai should be held accountable for as it is a major safety hazard. For your car to just shut off for no reason while driving it, is extremely dangerous and life-threatening.

My Hyundai Genesis coupe 2. 0t has a theta ii engine and is experiencing premature engine failure due to connector rod bearings. The theta ii engine is found in elantras, sonatas, velosters, and other cars from the same time period and these cars are eligible for an engine replacement due to a recall. Is it possible for the Genesis coupe 2. 0t to also receive this recall as its engine has the same problem?.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Genesis coupe. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. There was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the engine. The contact was able to pull over safely. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The mechanic informed the contact that there were loosened screws that caused the rattling sound. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v651000 (service brakes, hydraulic) 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 manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

My car was robbed. It was robbed because the door lock was broken into, and the ignition was started with a usb cord (the "kia boys" tiktok challenge). When my car was recovered the engine was also damaged, necessitating deep engine repairs that I could not afford. My insurance hasn't agreed to cover it despite comprehensive coverage.

The 2. 0t engine failed and the vehicle is currently at Hyundai service department waiting on my warranty company to do an inspection of the engine. My safety was at risk as the engine failed during normal operation of the vehicle on a busy city street near a blind curve which other vehicles travel at high rates of speed. Hyundai service department has confirmed the engine has failed which it needs to be replaced/rebuilt. Hyundai service department has inspected the vehicle. Waiting on inspection from warranty company. There were no warning lights or symptoms prior to the engine failure. Thankfully I was not operating the vehicle on the expressway as I normally do on my way home which could have put me in a much more dangerous scenario when the engine failed. When the engine failed it started to effect other components in the vehicle, as I started to completely lose the ability to maneuver the vehicle putting myself in a dangerous situation.

Each time service was required my car had suddenly stopped running without any acceleration. The start engine button would not work. Each time car was towed to serra Hyundai. At no time, was there any mentioning of needing a new engine or engine replacement. The service dates: 01/05/2023, 01/14/2023, and 04/14/2023. My last non acceleration occurred on night of June 4, 2023. It could have been tragic. I was accelerating to get on freeway heard a loud noise like something fell from up under car then vehicle just stopped and would not accelerate leaving me stranded and cars having to go around me. This could have been a terrible accident. I had car towed to serra Hyundai. The services being quoted to me is a new engine with estimated cost $7900. I cannot afford that amount and I’m now without a car. However because I have kept maintenance program up on my car the service department submitted pa101761. Unfortunately, it was declined because warranty has expired. In more research, there has been a recall on 2013-2015 Genesis coupe for the powertrain, engine and suspension. Therefore, Hyundai is fully aware there is an engine issue. The national highway transportation and safety administration (NHTSA) has 149 complaints with the same engine powertrain issues. Nhtsa id# 11435981 dated October 8, 2021 had the exact same issues with vehicle and experience(s) as myself. Hyundai has issued a recall. Recall 135, NHTSA campaign # 15v756000 and technical service bulletin(tsa)#15-01-054. In my opinion, everything described in this recall and every issue I have is outlined in this campaign. I’m being told my car VIN was not included. There have been several complaints over the years for same issue this cannot be coincidental. A recall should be issued for automatic 2013-15 Genesis coupe to include my VIN#. Most vehicles are at or approaching 10 years and warranty expired. I currently can’t afford new car and on fixed income, or $7900 new engine on 180,000 mile car.

Driving and car just quit. Clock turned, wipers went crazy, and then smoke came up the front windshield from the engine. I bailed and left it in the road. Awful and dangerous situation. Dealership wasn’t excepting Genesis anymore. Towed to a dealership 50 min away. Told the engine failed.

It's termed as a "dead pedal" with the accelerator pedal sensor as to when the accelerator pedal is applied to move the car, the signal to apply gas to the engine to move it , doe's not happen, and the car will not move, momentarily causing a very unsafe situation in traffic. This problem is sporadic and you never know when it will happen. To my knowledge this is happening in the 2009 to 2015 models Hyundai Genesis cars with the 3. 8 and 4. 6 and 5. 0 engines. Any car with the drive by wire is effected with this problem, and should be looked into and repaired. I have not gone to the dealer with this problem and there is no check engine light on when it happens.

While driving I noticed an engine noise/rattle about 3000rpm. The engine seemed to run fine but was making this abnormal noise. At 73,083 miles I towed the car to the Hyundai dealer. They found an anomaly in cylinder #5 and recommended engine replacement but refused warranty powertrain coverage because I am not the original owner. They also refused goodwill coverage even though this is a known issue with Hyundai engines.

Car experience loss of control to accelerator while driving on major highway. The vehicle's speed coasted down from highway speed of 65mph to low 50s before vehicle was safely stopped on roadside emergency breakdown lane. This incident could have easily resulted in a collision with faster-moving traffic. The vehicle has been transported to a dealer for inspection to determine the cause, however this episode appears very similar to a documented issue in 2016 with a faulty fuel harness and low pressure fuel pump. No warnings or indications were present until after the car was turned off and restarted.

When driving at the speed of 20 - 25 mph the car feels like its skipping or struggling to shifting into the next higher gear. Then all of a sudden it feels like someone rams into the back of us. Then the car will not shift into the next. I took the car into coconut creek automotive llc. The car just sat there for almost 3 months. They tell me that they could not duplicate the problem. I spoke with a service rep that told me he felt the problem. The manager said to me that the car had to be driven and the problem displayed 5 out of 10 times. My car was there for almost 3 months and only drove 12 miles.

Coolant leaking from back of the engine block on 2009 Hyundai Genesis 3. 8 sedan with 67000 miles. .

I was driving home on January 1, 2023 at 5 am at about 60 mph on an interstate when I heard a sound come from the back of my car and then looked into the rearview mirror and smelled smoke and saw fire flames in my rear and side mirrors. I tried to use my brakes to stop my car, but the brakes would not work, so I took it out of drive and put it into park… which slowed the car down and I was able to exit the car right before it burst into flames. The car is now a total loss.

My engine failed as I was coming off a highway off ramp. When it failed I briefly lost all control because the belt stopped and I had no power to steer nor. Able to shift from 5th to 6th gear. Since I was just coming off the ramp I was able to pull over safely since there was light traffic at the time. If there was any more traffic when this happened it would have caused me to not be able to control my vehicle and possibly cause a extreme accident. Once pulled over I was barely able to drive up to the exit to fully get off the highway to avoid getting hit. Once parked out of traffic, I called my insurance company to get my car towed. The engine had a extremely loud knock on the bottom half of the engine as well as noise from the top end. The issue that caused this was confirmed by an independent service center was caused related to the TSB's Hyundai put out themselves. This exact engine has been recalled for many other model vehicles, but the Genesis coupe was never included. When talking to Hyundai service centers they want me to pay to tow my car in, pay to have it inspected all for them to diagnose the issue & cause. Then to tell me once done this engine still is not covered in any recall. My insurance is still processing my claim for my roadside service at this time. There was absolutely no warning at all, nor any symptom of any kind. Vehicle had been serviced by Hyundai and the one time at an independent service center, while new tires was being put on, had an oil change with using Hyundai recommended oil & Hyundai filter. The only warning was at that time it failed the lights came on my dash. The cause for this simplified to lower engine failure.

The engine consumed oil and prematurely wore out the rod bearings. This is an issue that has already been settled in a class action lawsuit. The only issue is my car isn’t included in the lawsuit even though it is classified as the same motor that prematurely fails.
