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). Radio exchanged for a new one - problem resolved. 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.

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!

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. Could not be more disgusted with the incompetence and attempt to deceive and defraud

See above. Engine is turning over way too long before starting. Started after the spark plugs were replaced at 100,000 miles. The dealer did that work, and cannot explain the prolonged turnover after testing for two full days. Car always starts. The battery is fine. To be fair, I am presuming the problem started with the spark plug replacement, and I am associating the problem with that maintenance step, because it never happened before the maintenance, and has been happening from the time I first picked it up. It's been back to the dealer, and they have not identified the problem.

Rear driver door lock failed to open with push of unlock button or remote. The lever would move as though it received the signal, but couldnt complete the unlock movement. Dome light flashes on occasion similar to a flourescent bulb warming up or dying. Dealer ordered a replacement part but delivery took too long and I wanted my car back. The part has since arrived, will be installed on my next service appt
