The car would not start and I could not jump it. It was towed and they installed a new battery. 2 days later it was towed again. They were able to re-charge the battery, but not find a cause. Operated normally next 10 days when I filed this report. I think it is an intermittent short that goes in and and out as the car drives (or is towed). I love the car, but no longer feel I can count on it.

Entire passenger side headlight unit was replaced, under warranty (thank you Hyundai, as I have over 70,000 miles on my car) at a cost of almost $1700.00! There was a short in the wiring, and the harness itself could not be replaced and it is a complete unit. The turn signal bulb went out after having had it replaced 2 months prior. full brake job all the way around plus brake fluid drain and re-fill. Gasket around the rear window brake light (interior) is dry, brittle,crumbling, causing the rear window to reflect the red brake lamp light. Hyundai would not cover this and the work required the entire rear brake light housing unit to be replaced at a cost of over $300.00 so I refused repair and will work on a hack to fix this!

Car shakes severely when driving, even after multiple tire re-balancing efforts. Dealer could reproduce but not fix, other vehicle on the lot did the same. Worst ride I have ever experienced, and I drive a lot of rental cars. Car shakes very noticeably at idle. Vibration is much reduced when turning off the A/C system. Worst when stopped in gear, but reproducible caused by A/C system being on (compressor?) 
Jan 2017 Bad rattles from passenger side B-pillar trim piece. Allegedly fixed by adding padding, but I haven't gotten my car back after two weeks in the shop, since they are still trying to fix another issue withj bad vibrations while driving. After 4 weeks at the dealer, the rattle from passenger side B-pillar trim piece was fixed. rnAll four tires were replaced with new (but same brand and model) tires. Vibration issues continue, and getting worse. Idle vibration also not fixed.

Radio would not keep SiriusXM subscription active - kept having to re-activate the subscription via phone (subscription is still good for at least 6 months).

Vehicle still vibrates excessively at any speed while driving (steering wheel shakes left/right) and also vibrates (unrelated) heavily at idle, especially if the A/C is running and the car is in gear (e.g. at a traffic light or stop sign). Dealer claims this is "normal" (in a $50,000 car) and refuses to look into this further.

Vehicle still vibrates excessively at any speed while driving (steering wheel shakes left/right) and also vibrates (unrelated) heavily at idle (think old Diesel truck). Tried new dealership and service department (third Hyundai/Genesis dealer in 2 years) - same result, nothing got fixed. I cannot wait for the lease to end on this car, this is the worst vehicle I have owned in the last 20 years, simply due to vibration issues at speed and at idle.

Faulty oxygen sensor had car stalling and Traction Control engaging constantly. Reported the Traction Control button was constantly on issue to dealership, but they wouldn't diagnose it unless Check Engine light was on. Whn I brought the car in when the Check Engine light was on, was told I'd have to make an appt. WhenI brought it in for appt, light was off, they wouldn't diagnose it. Car finally died in their lot before they had to push it into Bay and then told me it would be 3 days to get sensor replaced because part had to come from Vancouver. Then told me that Rotors were warped and pads were shot; $1000 bill.

Took car in for Oil change, brought it home to find it was leaking slowly, leak turned into torrent, had to have the car towed back to the dealership at my cost despite my extended Hyundai Factory warranty includes Roadside Assistance, but dealership doesn't like recognizing it. They claimed issue was a corrupted Oil Pan plug. Drove car home, only to realize it was leaking even worse now, had it towed again, 3 days later they claimed it was extensive impact damage to the entire undercarriage and that I should file an Insurance claim to cover the "Thousands" the repair would cost. Took it to an independent garage, for $379 they replaced the Oil Pan, recognizing that it had the same type of plug as Toyota Corolla's which are apparently known for becoming corrupted.

Slight amount of lateral play in the steering wheel. Sometimes felt when driving, sometimes felt when entering the car with the engine off. Dealer duplicated but said it was normal because two new Genesis on the lot had the same condition. Mounting arm on Intake Resonator was broken where it mounts to the intake manifold. It is out of sight under the engine cover & went unnoticed until it tilted downward. Removal of the cover revealed the break. Probably broken from factory.

Sunroof hinges broke, sunroof was stuck in asymmetric position. Would attempt to open and close repeatedly. This took two visits to the dealer to repair as they don't have any parts for the cars they sell. Drivers side drivers window control switch failed and was replaced. The switch started failing last year but taking the car to Hyundai is a exercise in futility as they should continue to sell cheap cars to the masses. They should never come near $50,000+ cars.
