Freeway driving at speed limit (65mph) passenger seat head rest self energized causing passenger to become unconcious for one or two minutes, without warning. Auto had no accicents nor any other damage to headrest or seat. Passenger comment after he became concious was "why did you hit me. " preceeded by a noise like a metal pipe being dropped. There was no reason for the 'rear end collision sensor located at seat base to energize. The headrest came forward striking back of head causing a possible concusion. A different result would have caused death if it was the driver side. Failure was caused be spring tension continious on plastic and both the front and rear pieces, but only the front part is available for repair. This forces replacement of the entire headrest assembly. (quoted $792). Repair not available in a timely manner.

53 Equipment problem of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 08/01/2019

The power trunk hatch malfunctions, opening the trunk either partially or completely. Unfortunately it does not close completely unless using the trunk button inside the vehicle. One incident, the trunk attempted to close without warning or notice. No button was activated to close at the time. The trunk would open when the vehicle was stationary, in motion on the roadway, and when the vehicle was powered off. All were isolated instances. It is unknown what may be causing the malfunction, however has progressively became worst from the onset. I was able to utilize the "valet trunk lockout feature" for now, deactivating the trunk functions. I'm scheduled to meet with the Hyundai dealership for an inspection of the vehicle soon. I've also contacted the manufacturer regarding this issue.

Stalled twice on the same day - stalled while turning right at the entrance of roundabout at local school. Car lost control due to stall and went cross the opposite lane. All dash lights were on similar to turning car on without turning engine. Fortunately no cars on the opposite side. Quickly shifted to neutral and tried to start the engine. It took 2-3 secs for the engine to start. - stalled again 2 hours later on the same outing when turning right to local restaurant. Car lost control going into parking lot. All dash lights were on. - this is at least the tenth time it happened in our 6 years of ownership with 100k miles on the car.

While driving when I go to stop or slow down the brake pedal goes to the floor. It's real hard to stop the car, I brought it to the dealer and I was told that it's the hecu a 3,000 $ fix. I know that other Genesis owners have complained of the same problem. It's very dangerous for me and other vehicles around me. I know that Hyundai has recalled other vehicles for this problem due to faulty brake fluid that distroys the hecu. It sure seems to be what happened to mine.

60 Equipment problem of the 2016 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 04/03/2019

The first incidence occurred a few months after purchase when we noticed that an emergency warning light went off while traveling to a vacation. It then went off after a few hours so we waited until our return to report it to the dealer, sunbury motor company Hyundai division in sunbury, PA. They set up an appointment and I assumed fixed the problem because this specific light never went on again. We did notice and reported that at times the beeping and lighting up of the collision warning safety feature did not work properly. This actually resulting in a small scrap directly below the sensor while parking. We made another appointment but they could not find the cause. I asked our salesperson, chris faust, if this would result in a charge on our leased vehicle and he said no it was an easy fix. We were leaving for our annual snowbird trip to florida in a few days and the lease was over shortly after we returned home so I said it wasn't that noticeable. We would not be able to take it in for repair. Chris said that it would not be a problem upon inspection and if questioned they would repair it before. I said fine. While in florida, close to the time for our trip home we were almost in an accident when a vehicle suddenly stopped in front of us while pulling out of a shopping center unto a busy street. None of the warning systems or auto braking systems worked and the result was missing the vehicle by inches along with severely jolting my wife and I. It did result in a neck injury to me which I thought was muscular and would go away but it did not. The injury was treated and is still being treated. After reading some of the safety issues with the Hyundai Genesis we decided not to purchase the vehicle. Both Hyundai and sunbury motors were aware of the last incidence but have not acknowledged it. Our attorney recommended that we make you aware of the issue.

61 Equipment problem of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 12/03/2018

Hyundai is telling me the problem with tire tread wear is a problem with the tire manufacturer. The tire manufacturer is telling me the problem is with a design of the 2015 Genesis sedans suspension. Inside rear tire wear is extreme, and had I not complained about vibration and cabin sound, ultimately seeking professional help in seeing the wear at a tire company, we might have very easily lost our lives. Look at 2015 Hyundai Genesis blowouts / saudi arabia. Many, many posts on-line about this tire wear happening here in the u. S. Our michelin tires are warranted to 45 k miles, we were advised by our cars dealer (Hyundai of evansville) to replace and align the 4 wheels, at a large cost, this is at 22,914 miles ! raben tire, a michelin dealer, here in evansville tells me the car may very well have a suspension-alignment problem. It will cost us over $1000. 00 to be safe for a while with tire replacement and alignment. Hyundai will not even give us the satisfaction of a return call. It is a blatant case of �david vs goliath� ! extreme cabin sound @ 45 to 50 mph, as well as seat and steering wheel vibration while in motion, up through highway speeds.

Failure Date: 11/17/2018

Most times my car will start when I press the "engine start stop" button my foot is on the brake. Most times it will shut down when the button is pressed. Sometimes it will not. I never know when and if I will have this problem. I took the car to the Hyundai dealer in toms river, NJ. They said it was a faulty start-stop button. I paid them to diagnose the problem. They charged me a diagnostic fee and for a new start-stop button. I drove the car home thinking my problem was solved. The problem was eliminated for two days only to return again. When I advised them of this, I received no assistance. I can not return to this dealer. I simply don't trust them.

65 Equipment problem of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 09/10/2018

My vehicle showed solid check engine light while I was on 101 freeway and after exiting to city road I could park and read the error code "p0880 power input to tcm", I reported the issue to Hyundai dealer and they diagnosed the issue as internal tcm defect. Dealer replaced the tcm but that couldn't fix the problem. And they just released the car as is. After a short while my car had become unable to reverse, and when set the gear to reverse, my car moves forward to make a very life threatening. I called Hyundai corporate office but they didn't help. Now, I cannot drive my car because it is unsafe and because because I'm not a mechanic to diagnose the problem while the dealer and the corporate don't help. I found out that the model of my car is a subject to recall for gear problem which is exactly what I face now. It seems that both of the dealer and the corporate office are aware of the issue in this particular model but they did not even mentioned it to me until I found it by myself. A car like that is unsafe for me to drive because it runs forward only even when the gear is reverse and if stops I cannot even push it backwards. A car with this defect is dangerous for my community. Please help to force that company either replace the car for me, repurchase or repair it to full operational status. .
