“I have a 2010 Hyundai genesis 3.8 coupe 6-speed automatic with paddle and sport shift. I have had an ongoing issue with the vehicle for several months now not shifting properly. Sometimes it wont shift out of 1st gear and when it does it will unknowingly downshift and get stuck in a gear. Since the issue began, I have received several speeding tickets and had near death experiences due to the shifting. …”
NHTSA complaint #10519502, filed 2013-06, 63,000 miles“While driving the car, the car speeds up on its own without me pushing the accelerator. The car also has rev hang and the rpms rise by its self and stays their. Usually between 6500rpm. I have to press the brake in order for the rpms to drop so its doesn't blow the motor.”
NHTSA complaint #10615778, filed 2014-07, 67,000 miles“When starting the vehicle with foot on the clutch, it lurched forward hitting a parking barrier. Dealer denied mechanical causes. From the time I bought the car, it has accelerated on it's own, going to the max in rpms, at random times. I can take my foot off the gas and it will drive itself. When I try to come to a stop, it will accelerate and I have to counter by hitting the brake. When taken to the dealer, they couldn't replicate it. When I argued with the man, he said he would honor the warranty when they could replicate it, though the warranty is now expired. …”
NHTSA complaint #10526189, filed 2013-07, 1,500 miles“It does not shift properly causing it to decrease or increase speed without pressing the gas pedal. The problem also causes the vehicle to exceed recommended RPM level which causes the vehicle to get stuck in one gear and makes it difficult to stop the vehicle. This issue has caused instances where I have had to swerve off the road to avoid collision.”
NHTSA complaint #10511195, filed 2013-05, 58,947 miles“What I had believed to be somewhat of a nuisance problem has now become a very critical problem. A couple of times after purchasing this Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 while trying to normally accelerate, the car virtually died. Acceleration flat spot. Somewhat similar to the old carbureted cars. Very infrequent, however, the other day losing acceleration almost caused a major accident. Very close.”
