My car spontaneously caught fire while in a parking lot. I had left it for approximately 45 minutes. When I returned and opened the trunk, smoke began pouring out. Frightened, I called 911. The fire department came. When they opened the driver door, much more smoke poured out. My car continued to smoke I believe for a long time. I was ill for several days with headache and ashma as I am a senior and have scarred lungs. A mechanic later determined that the passenger car motor had burst into fire. He said the motor, seat, carpet and seat belt were beyond repair. No warning lights ever came on. After suggesting a buy back of the car in an earlier conversation, the manufacturer said yesterday upon viewing a photo I provided of the burned seat motor that it wasn't that bad. I refuse to keep the car or drive it because it could happen again and it reeks of fire.

After a few months of ownership (purchased new) the driver seat and arm rest are showing excessive signs of wear. After owning numerous vehicles with leather interior this is the worst I've seen is such a short time.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

Bought my 2013 Genesis 3. 8 with technology & premium options on March 1, 2013. I have had two problems from around the 2nd month after my purchase. They are: 1) the driver seat and the back not getting much airflow even at the switch setting at max position; 2) the seat leather cover is not snug tight - kind of loose and wavy in the middle area. Have been to the dealer seven times starting August 2013. The dealer has replaced the fan and filter, found blower motor weakened, seized. Removed and replaced blower, swapped seat with another car in stock/loaner, found driver seat bottom deformed; removed and replaced driver seat bottom, and have, without Hyundai's approval, inserted a "hose" tube under the seat to improve airflow. I have also had two different field service reps spend a day, month apart, with the car - testing and measuring voltage and current to the motor. The first field service rep agreed that there is a problem and requested "documentation" from Hyundai-korea, but never received any. That rep was transferred out, and the new field rep did not find any problem. After this, the dealership service director tried to help me by installing a small "hose" tube just over the air-intake opening, but that still did not improve anything. Right now, at max setting of the switch, I still feel no air coming from any of the vented holes - on the seat and on the back! I have filed the defect notification form with the Hyundai at their consumer connect center address in California, and sent a copy to the florida attorney general's office for the lemon law administration. I did do a google search some time back and found lots of people in this forum have complaints about this driver seat cooling problem and some had very creative solutions. It has been very frustrating for almost 10 months, 7 trips and Hyundai not doing a better job in its warranty coverage.

Driver's seat lift motor failed while driving(the seat was not being adjusted at the time) causing it to suddenly drop to the floor. When the seat fell, it landed off of the track and was not secured-the seat was extremlely unstable, and could be easily moved forward, sideways, and lifted by hand. Basically the driver's seat was no longer attached to the floor of the car. The part is on order and will be replaced upon arrival at the Hyundai dealership in tampa, fla. Courtesy Hyundai has the broken part.
