2016 Hyundai Genesis 4dr Sedan

311-horsepower 3.8L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD

37000 mi proximity sensors front and rear reporting spurious errors, intermittent and unconsistent 
39000 mi Cabin vibration, but not steering or tires related. New A/C compressor replacement did not solve problem of vibration from 25 to 30 mph only, no vibration higher or lower speeds. 
13000 mi USB port intermittent failure. Android Auto randomly stops working. USB thumb drive plays music when it wants to. Dealer replaced USB module. Failed again within 1 month. 
15000 mi USB port failed again. Same intermittent problem as before. Android Auto randomly stops working. USB thumb drive starts and stops playing music when it wants to. Dealer couldn't find problem because it was working on day of drop off but 1 mile after picking it up it started failing again. Dealer ordered part again. 
20000 mi Driver seat heater not working. Lights on switch blinking indicating fault. USB port random disconnects. Dealership didn't have parts to fix either problem. 
29000 mi USB port intermittent failure. Dealer finally replaced radio. There are still intermittent problems when using the USB port for Android Auto which leads me to believe it is a wire harness problem. Unfortunately I no longer trust my current dealership to properly diagnose the problem and will need to find another dealership for future work. 
70000 mi

US $400
License plate light needed replacement. LED assembly required deck panel removal for access. Over $400 total cost, parts and labor. 
Haptic steering sytem failure (lane departure control) 
21000 mi Driver's air bag fault light on. Took three trips to diagnose and fix. 
1000 mi SRS Airbag indicator stayed lit from day 1 of ownership. Dealer had to: diagnose (took a week) and then replace the cars electrical wiring harness.
