Not completely satisified.

Just had the fourth battery installed in the car. This along with other various issues are the reason for the low reliability score. There have been times when I have been apprehensive about driving it because I thought it may not start when I was ready to go home.

No emergency brake light comes on when emergency brake is on. Nothing tells you so you drive with it on and create problems with car. Front passenger seat height does not adjust. Seat is too low unless you're 6 ft tall.

Not quite there yet I had to pay $1300 to get my windows and door locks working again and it would of been more withoiut my warranty . Bad wiring harnesses in 5 years is totally unacceptable this should of been taken care of for free by Hyundai

Good car overall loves the way it drives and handles and it looks and feel very expensive. The only draw back I had was the electrical problem with my windows , doors, parking sensors and automatic window sensor . I never had this type of stuff to go out on a car and never thought I would have to pay to get it fixed with less than 100000 Miles on my car and after owning it for less than 2 years . I think Hyundai should honor their original wArrenty even if you are not the first owner . Too much on a customer to pay when it’s something that should last for many years.

Poor paint

Everything with the Genesis is above expectations with the exception of the paint on plastic parts (bumpers, rocker panels etc.). The clear coat on the rear bumper and rocker panels has failed and has scaled off. The balance of the vehicle is fine. This is the first vehicle on which we have ever had this happen. Should not happen on a vehicle that is only Six years old.

Beware of electronics issues.

The car is excellent in everything you would be looking for in this type of car except it has multiple electrical issues that are difficult and expensive to get fixed. When we first got this car we loved it and in many ways it is the favorite car we have owned. However, due to multiple electrical issues that have been difficult to diagnose and very expensive to fix, we have lost all interest in ever owning another one.

Hyundai Genesis 2012

The car is great however, on the passenger side dash it has cracked and that is not a good sign. It started cracking after I just finished paying my car off. This is concerning because the car dash should not crack that quickly. I have maintained my car and this is a problem.

2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0

I have owned my Genesis since purchased new in May, 2012. I have driven the car for just a little over 40,000 miles and, with the exception of extremely high oil consumption on the 5.0 V 8 engine, I am quite pleased with the Genesis. I had a few minor electronic problems which were fixed under warranty and the car has developed a slight drive train thump (which I attribute to tire/wheel balance issues). Otherwise I am quite happy with the handling, fuel economy, styling and performance. Once my oil consumption issue is resolved, I will be completely satisfied.

Genesis 5.0 R Spec

Car has plenty of power to get out of tight spots. Have had a number of mechanical issues during my ownership. In fact engine was replaced under warranty. Still has a persistent right pull in the alignment that dealer cannot correct. They said it’s within specs.

Quality

Although I enjoy the car, too many items need to be replaced. I have had to replace the master lock mechanism, the master window mechanism, and need to fix the drivers side mirror motor. All these items are very expensive and should not have broken. In addition, I am noticing the backup camera not always working. When I compare this to my lexus, I am disappointed in the overall quality of the car.

Not what we expected

We purchased the vehicle brand new in 2011 after test driving other comparable cars. I was not completely sold on Hyundai after the track record they had years ago. Once we test drove the car we were blown away at the features and the cost of the vehicle. Still not sold on the car we ended up leasing the car for 3 years and not having one problem with the car other than regular service and a new battery we decided to keep the vehicle. The car had 60,000 miles and only serviced at the dealership along with all recommend service intervals. Now the car has 100,000 the battery died so we ended up having a new battery placed in the car, once we started the vehicle the check engine light came on and the idle was extremely rough! So we had it towed to the local dealer and after a weeek long diagnosis they came up with the vehicle needed the coils replaced and injectors. $1700.00 later the vehicle is now fixed. One other issue we have had was filling the gas tank you can’t fill it up because the nosel keeps clicking off we have taken to dealer multiple times which they have replaced the filter and the gas nosel assembly of courses at the time under warranty. Nothing has worked to fix the problem we still can’t fill the tank! The radio was having Bluetooth connection issues and static in the sound so they replaced the main unit at 25,000 miles now at 100000 the radio does not connect at all. After all of these issues we have had I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a car to last! They look amazing on the outside and the inside is luxurious but the problems that we have face makes me wish we would have him with a more reliable car. We take car of all of our vehicles to the highest level people look at this car and tell us that it looks like it could sit on the show room floor

Braking Issue

With only 57,000 miles on my 2012 Genesis it suffered a loss of braking. The dealer could find nothing wrong with the brakes. I have lost confidence in the vehicle after the braking incident and have opened a case with NHTSA and Hyundai US.

Unreliable. $10k in repairs under 100k miles

Bought Certifed 2013 Genesis 3.8 Premium Tech package in 2013 with 17k miles. Cruise Control malfunctioned because laser radar censor was broken and not covered under warranty... it was CERTIFIED with 17k miles and they wanted $3800 for it after I drove it off the lot!!! Then another $4000 replacing the HECU at 75k miles right after I almost drove the car through the house because the brakes went out (HECU). Fought the warranty company on that one. And $1800 for a new fuel tank that had a HOLE in it at 100k miles... a hole with no external impact, just defective and the dealer did not offer any kind of relief being just outside of warranty. The car has shut off many times on its own causing safety issues and the dealer can’t figure it out. Tons of electrical problems. I will never buy a Hyundai again

Genesis Brakes

Had to replace brakes at 21,131 miles, customer paid total cost. Genesis/Hyundai could care less, Will not but another Hyundai product and will relate my experience to friends and family. Brake should not have to replaced after 21,131 miles.
