Exterior Lighting Problems of Hyundai Genesis - part 1

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.

When headlights are in auto mode, use of the turn signal can result in the headlights flickering or shutting off completely. This is not the result of hitting the light mode switch but rather an electrical short occurring in the stalk. The problem is particularly dangerous at night when signaling for an upcoming turn and loss of all vehicle lighting occurs. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer. The component has not been inspected by officials. Initial occurrence was winter of 2022 with increasing frequency since then.

The car is kept at a dealership in savannah. The recall 251 caused the damage of the abs. The dealership says it is not possible to fix, the manufacturer does not assume any responsiility.

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.

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.

On February 13, 2024, my vehicle was not starting at all, prompting me to seek professional assistance. Subsequently, the car was towed to a nearby auto shop for a comprehensive diagnostic. The findings indicated that the starter was the root cause of the issue and required replacement. Additionally, a battery replacement was deemed necessary. Coincidentally, on the same day, a recall notice was issued regarding the starter, citing a fire risk associated with the component. In light of the recall notice, the vehicle was relocated from the auto shop to my residence. On February 19, 2024, the car was then towed to the dealership for further investigation and confirmation of the starter diagnostic, as advised by Hyundai corporate by an agent named, doreen. I contacted Hyundai corporate on Friday, February 16, 2024, seeking guidance about the starter diagnosis. Their recommendation was to have the car towed to the dealership to validate the starter issue. She stated they will be able to expedite the resolution process at a national level once the dealership confirms the diagnosis. Today, on February 21, 2024, capitol Hyundai in san jose, CA, associate by the name of ali lee, informed me that the starter was not the culprit; rather, it was identified as a "faulty" new battery installed six months ago. This revelation is disconcerting, especially considering that the car, parked for six days, should not have been able to start if the issue was solely related to the battery, as confirmed by the dealership. This report aims to document the sequence of events for future reference and to address potential safety concerns associated with the recalled starter, which poses a fire risk. Moreover, I would like to bring to your attention some pre-existing issues that might be connected to the recall, including light flickering while driving, headlights turning completely off automatically at night on the freeway & challenges w the car windows when using the designated buttons.

This has been a recurring safety issue problem! the front turn signals repeatedly have indicated on etiher side that the bulb is burned out and hence do not light up nor flash when this occurs. Some folks chalk this up to it is normal for bulbs to burn out so I have been replacing them when this happens. But, a new bulb doesnt always work! it gets to be a game of try this bulb and then that bulb and then sometimes nothing works and I plug the turn signal harness back in and maybe a few days later it starts to work so it is more than a bulb issue and a significant safety issue if folks assume that the turn signal is performing correctly and the oncoming cars dont see any sign that I'm planning on turning. I can put in a new bulb and try adjusting the bulb in its seated position and grab the wires and jiggle to see if there is a short or bad conection and nothing changes the fact that the new bulb is not working. Also the bulbs that arent working appear to be in good working order when looking at the 2 filaments.

My turn signals burn bulbs burn out constantly (2x a year) and I drive approx 8k miles per year. Turn signals are a basic basic safety issue & given that if you explore the Hyundai Genesis form it is a known faulty wiring design. . It is not simply a matter of changing a bulb - it’s very difficult to get to. Hyundai knows this issue since they changed the housing design for the 2016. I believe they owe their customers a safe option.

Rt side day running light. This model Hyundai Genesis uses what is suposed to be an intermittent bulb / socket for turn signaling. In this 2015 model it is so it's on all the time as driving lamp. Bulb overheats, burns out, scorches the socket. Bulbs now last less than 5 months. Dealer replaced scorched scoket and bulb today. $169. 00 not under warranty.

Head light control knob on the blinker handle. While driving, using the blinker, the headlights' turn knob is extremely sensitive. It has happened several times. Driving at night, turn on the blinker to go right, it also scrolls the headlight control and turns them off. Highly dangerous in my opinion. Safety concern for myself and other drivers mentioned this to kingdom kia of rolla, mo. Service worker said she has heard of this complaint before. The light knob is very sensitive. Has not been inspected by manufacturer no warning lamps etc.

Driver side front turning signal/daytime running light burns out constantly. I have replaced that bulb at least 6 times since purchasing the car in 2018. Dealer confirmed it's common with my vehicle, and advised me to use oem bulbs only as other bulbs would blow out faster. After the first bulb was replaced with a dealer oem and that blew out within a few months, I purchased one from auto zone and it burned out within a week. Have been using oem bulbs ever since. I have two friends with the exact same year make and model, and they have experienced the same issue. . Read more...

Use of the turn signal intermittently causes the headlights to turn off at night while in auto headlights mode switching to headlights on mode turns the lights back on.

I was driving at night on highway and tried to switch lanes. After I gave left signal and start changing lanes headlights turned off for several seconds. I almost panic and pushed the brake pedal. It was the multifunction switch which was going from auto mode to off.

My left tail light is having a lot of leakage of water - & has caused my tail light, & license plate light to completely stop working.

The multi function switch on the steering column has a short within its components. When driving at night with the headlights on and I activate the multi function switch to change lanes, the headlights flicker. This is the second multi function switch that is having the same symptoms, because I had the same problem years ago and the multi function switch was replaced under warranty. It is now exhibiting the same symptoms as before but is no longer under warranty.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that she noticed that the brake lights would not illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the stop lamp switch needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The dealer stated that the diode wiring system needed to be replaced. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 13v113000 (exterior lighting). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,394.

While driving at night or during day, multifunction switch that controls headlamps will, without interaction, flip the lights from auto to off. This leads to either the drls blinking like I have an emergency, or the headlamps turning off while I'm driving down an unlit highway at highway speeds. It's extremely dangerous and needs a recall. . . Not a warranty extension. Particularly when the servicing dealers refuse to replace under said warranty because "they cannot replicate the issue".

The rear passenger brake/reverse light and rear camera were sporadically working until they all stopped working completely. After some research the cause of the problem is the trunk wire harness which has failed (20-be-007h). Unfortunately this fix isn't know to dealerships who I've had attempt to fix the problem, which leaves me without a brake light, reverse light, and reverse camera.

Both the left and right turn signals have had to be replaced over 5 times each since I purchased the car in 2018. The first time it happened I took it to the dealer and they said the lighting harness was the problem and they replaced it at no cost since it was under warranty. Then the right one went out and again they replaced the harness free. Then the left went out again and since replaced harness was under a year old, they replaced it at no cost. That was Feb 27. 2020. Each side has gone out at least 4 times since Feb, '20. Please keep in mind I drove less than 5000 miles during 2021 due to the pandemic. Now the dealer says the entire head light assembly must be replaced to solve the problem. This is a real safety concern because other drivers need to know where I'm turning or I might get hit. Hyundai charges $1,100 to replace headlight assembly on each side-any discount given! so now I must replace the bulb about every 3-4 months on each side to feel safe driving. This a problem with their 2015 models because we have a friend who had the same problem.

Passenger side front signal light keeps going out. Has replaced 7 times since owning this car.

Combination daytime running light/turn indicator/signal frequent failure/burnout.

The front turn indicator bulbs blow out frequently, creating a significant safety issue. This is because the manufacturer combined the drl and turn indicator functions into the same bulb, using one filament of a 2357 for both functions. It is also not possible to replace the bulbs with a longer-life alternative, such as a led replacement, since the car refuses to recognize the led bulbs. Therefore, many Genesis owners end up replacing these bulbs as often as monthly, or even bi-weekly. The failures of these indicator bulbs are unpredictable, and the problem should never have happened, since the identical car in canada uses the existing "eyebrow" lights for drl and therefore the 2357 front bulbs are not susceptible to frequent unpredictable failure.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Genesis. The contact was informed by eyewitnesses that the brake lamps on the vehicle failed to illuminate. The vehicle was serviced per NHTSA campaign numbers: 14v713000 (exterior lighting) and 13v113000 (service brakes), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing, but the location was over an hour and a half away. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

I purchased the car in January 2017 after 2 months of having the car the windows would not go up. I would have to wait hours for it to start back working. The suspension was low for a few weeks then it would slowly come back up. Basically my whole car has electrical problems back up camera goes black, the odometer has dead pixels, car extremely sluggish, the car shakes and kills alot. Also when I turn the heated seats on it turns off within 2 minutes. It is so much the car is doing to say this car has a clean carfax.

I visited Hyundai dealer near my home sage Hyundai located at 200 n vermont Ave, los angeles, CA 90004 for stop lamp of my 2009 Genesis sedan 3. 8 stopped working about a week ago after one of vehicle behind almosted rear ended my car and they informed me about stop lamp did not illuminated. I discovered it was Hyundai recall campaign NHTSA #: 14v713000, Hyundai recall # 125. They service department of the dealer did not do any repair and just let me go. And service rep. Stated that the recall is limited to only on stoplamp switch not on any other related circuit. They never had any diagonostics performed. I had to drive home in very dangerous situation without stop lamp light working. There are always stop and go traffic where my home is. I was very scared when I drove home.

While driving at night on a dark road in sport mode, all interior and exterior lights began to flash then went totally out after a few seconds they came back on.

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that while driving at any speed during night, when using the turning signals the head lights turned off intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired but the failure recurred. The contact was unaware of what was replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Poor illumination at night without using the brights. Unable to see a safe distance in front of you.

The turn signal lights on both the driver and passenger side frequently goes out/stops working (at least 2-3 times a year per side). This has occurred since I purchased the vehicle in 2015. I have had the lamp housing replaced following a campaign issued by the manufacturer and any other related diagnostics and bulb replacements were done under warranty by the dealership. However, the issue persists due to sockets burning out too quickly as it's recorded by the dealership. I have also contact the Hyundai corporation regarding this several times and opened complaints. Nothing has been done. I have records to show how often the turn signals have had to be replaced over the last 9 years. By now I would've expected this would be a recall (especially with other owners complaining of the same things across the internet). This is a safety concern because not having reliable turn signals/turn signals going out too soon prevents other drivers from knowing what turn I am about to make while driving. That is a safety concern for me and others who are oncoming in my direction.

When the light switch in pushed forward to low beam, switch turns and turn off all the lights. Very dangerous when driving. Handle is not round, what makes causing the problem.

Hello NHTSA administrator, I bought a new Hyundai Genesis in March 2010. Around August 2010, I had a small fender bender in the parking lot. To keep warranty intact on the car, Hyundai insisted that the wiring harness on the car be replaced, which I did for approximately $5000. Since then, I have had multiple electronic items go bad in the car. I replaced some of these at my own expense. But the problem has gotten worse with some expensive electronic components going bad over the last 2 years. In normal circumstances, these components should not go bad over the life of the car, and certainly not at a frequency that they have failed in my car. I attribute these failures to bad/defective job done during wiring harness replacement. But Hyundai has refused to accept responsibility since the car is out of warranty. Below is a list of the bad components, approximate date of the component going bad, whether it is replaced/fixed and approximate expense to fix them 1. Telescopic steering wheel--2015--repaired as part of warranty 2. Power switch assembly driver's seat--Jan 2016--$236. 19--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 3. Jog dial assembly--oct 2016--$1031. 70--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 4. Front cabin dome light assembly--Feb 2017--$376. 91--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 5. Smart cruise control--Mar 2017--not replaced--dealership gave me a quote of ~$4500 to replace 6. Passenger cabin dome light assembly--Aug 2017--not replaced--$4500 estimate to replace 7. Multi disc cd player--Feb 2018--not replaced--$1000 estimate to replace I would like NHTSA to investigate Hyundai for this matter and force them to pay for repairs. As a consumer, I feed cheated and being forced to double pay for repairs - once for the wiring harness replacement and now for all problems attributed to it. Sincerely, abhishek.

There is an electrical issue that could malfunction internally and cause an electrical short, potentially resulting in an engine compartment fire. The front bulb for the daylight running lamps/ lane changing blinker has been consistently stopped working and/or blown out. The dealer where I purchased the vehicle has worked on the vehicle a minimum of six times, changing the electrical harnesses (among other things) with no success. When looking up this issue on the internet, other owners have reported this problem with the 2015 model and older Hyundai Genesis. Hyundai did changed the daylight running lights in 2016. On a few occasions (3 times), the headlights turned off at night which may or may not be related. I have another appointment in ten days to address the situation once again.

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis model was produced with a halogen daylight running lamp that is also the directional turn signal; because of this dual function, the directional fails. When you google this issue, there are hundreds of other owners who have either made videos or blogged about the same issue. I have spent over $1000 dollars trying to fix the issue and when it was under warrantee, the dealership must have spent three times as much without success. Drivers coming at you, have no idea that you are turning or not. Wiring harnesses have been changed, switches replaced, multiple bulbs and I have even changed out the headlight assembly. Hyundai is aware of this issue and has turned their backs on their customers.

Three issues. All have occurred only twice or three times in two years. Last time I took the car to dealer but they didn't do anything since no "codes" were stored in the system! 1. The infotainment display panel goes completely dark. Radio stops and all other activity and control knobs become non-operational. Just stopping and restarting the car does not fix the problem. But, both times, when I have restarted the car after 30-45 minutes (e. G. , after shopping, or returning from airport), everything is back to normal. 2. Sometimes (again infrequent) when using the navigation system, all colors go away, screen becomes darker, and everything displays in gray. But, when I change the display settings from auto to day, the color returns. All occurrences were during daytime driving. 3. Again, sometimes, when listening to radio, the brightness on the display changes from evenly lit display of the dial, the two ends become darker - like gets dark and cloudy!.
