2013 Genesis
Purchased new in 2013, although it was driven by a manager and had 1100 miles on it. Overall the driveability and comfort are very good, but should be for a $45,000 car. However, this particular car has had several very annoying issues over the years. At 9 months, it wouldn't start one morning. After a week of troubleshooting, a broken wire was found that was very likely damaged during manufacture (according to the service writer). This could have been a very bad situation had it occurred during our 3000 mile trip we took a month prior to that. Not long after that, the alternator failed. Then the intermittent stuff started. The right rear parking sensor would quite often, but not always, beep although there was nothing there, and continue to beep every time the car dipped below 5 MPH. Then a few months later, the driver's window controls started intermittently failing to work. Of course, neither of these problems would fail when taking it to the dealer. A couple years ago, it got so bad that they finally agreed to fix both problems even though they couldn't replicate them in the shop. All of these issues were covered under warranty and luckily they all happened close to home and the dealer, but for the money paid for the car, I expected better quality. I have a Toyota Rav4 with 100,000 miles on it and have never had to take it to the dealer. The Genesis is doing fine now, but I am not looking forward to the warranty running out. I expect that when I replace the Genesis, it will be with a Toyota.
