“My 2014 Genesis Coupe 2.0t rspec has an issue with the rear break caliper it goes out of alignment and slowly shaves down the caliper and the rotor bolt broke off. Also my turbo bypass valve gets stuck everytime I get to highway speeds of 65 or 70 and I loose so much power as if the turbo charger is no longer working until I turn off the vehicle and restart it.”

“So I had bought my gen coupe 25 days before it had blown up. When purchased I did all the regular maintenance. 4,000 miles later. The engine has oil issues and dropped a cylinder and blew the engine. I had financed the car and now I'm stuck with a broken car and every shop wants to charge me 10-15k for a new used engine. I'm lost and don't know what to do. Is there anyone else dealing with the same issues?”

NHTSA complaint #11271128, filed 2019-10

“My VIN# does not appear in the Recall Listing of Hyundai vehicles that are at risk for fires, but 2014 models should be. The original engine was replaced on 12/9/2020, as something melted inside, causing it to seize up. It was replaced with a used engine, with only 51,000 miles. My engine compartment caught on fire, on 10/3/2021, while my son was driving the vehicle on the highway. This model also needs to be placed on the recall list for fire risk!”

“Went out to drive my car . Walked up to parked car . Was hearing a weird noise (sounded like a AC unit ) got into car . Hit brakes to start car . Got massive vibrating effect felt in brake . Turned car on . Abs light and traction light came on . Worse noise then smoke coming from engine bay . Opened hood and saw a fire in the fuse box area that spread to the heat shield on top of the hood . Put out with fire extinguisher. My safety was put at risk because the fire could have happened when I was driving or was not near a fire extinguisher at the time . …”
