2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2009 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 12/23/2019

My car shut off/the engine lost power, while sitting in traffic. I felt a slight rough idle, then realized all my dash lights were on, and the engine was not running. I placed the car in park, and pushed the engine start button. Car started back up, but every time I stopped I had to place the car in park and keep my foot slightly on the gas to keep it from idling roughly and shutting off again. I had to do this for a half hour until I reached my destination. After setting for 4 hours the car started fine and I had not further issues. But my fear is that it will happen again while in traffic or possibly while driving, which could cause an accident.

9 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 09/19/2017

Engine shutdown and lost steering and brake control when making a right turn. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Details: on both the times, when I was trying to make a right turn at a slow speed the engine shut down and I lost control of steering was well as brakes. I had to put the car in park, in the middle of the intersection and push button to start the car again. Luckily there was nothing in the way (car or a pedestrian), or else there would have been an accident. This could be an even dangerous issue if this happens when making a left turn or when on a freeway. Please issue a recall for this, and have Hyundai fix this problem.

10 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 05/15/2017

This has been an ongoing issue, I know others have reported a similar problem. When coming to a stop in our 2012 Genesis 3. 8l the engine will shut off without any warning. This has happened more than a dozen times at this point. My wife took it to the dealer who said this issue couldn't be duplicated. The car has died in traffic and when going around a curve. Power steering is lost when this occurs making it a bit nerve wracking. This is an issue Hyundai needs to address before someone is injured or worse.

My car literally just shut off while I was driving. I tried to turn once and just shuts off. So I took it back to he dealership and they said it was the emc and it did drive good for a couple months.

I called Hyundai near me and they gave me the run around. Told me I would have to pay for rental car. I said I uber warranty and this shouldn't be happening!! worst experience ever with this car and the dealerships. They seem to know about this problem and know there is no real cute. I don't expect this car to really ever be fixed as I lol be getting something different as soon as I can .
