2009 Hyundai Genesis Engine Problems

“Engine just shuts off while driving. It becomes difficult to steer and control. I was barely able to move to the side of the street and the car behind me almost ran into me because of my loss of power. There are no warning lights and the radio, etc. All stayed on during this event. I had to put the car in park and restart the engine.”

“My car shut off/the engine lost power, while sitting in traffic. I felt a slight rough idle, then realized all my dash lights were on, and the engine was not running. I placed the car in park, and pushed the engine start button. Car started back up, but every time I stopped I had to place the car in park and keep my foot slightly on the gas to keep it from idling roughly and shutting off again. I had to do this for a half hour until I reached my destination. After setting for 4 hours the car started fine and I had not further issues. …”

“Was driving car to meet my husband and when I turned the corner, he was frantically waving me to get out of the car because it was on fire, in the front under the driver's side bumper. I got out and saw flames shooting from under the bumper. With the fire department on the way, we made several attempts to put the fire out w/water to no avail. A nearby store owner came out with a fire extinguisher and was able to put the fire out. Once fire department arrived, he indicated that it appeared to be an electrical fire. …”

“For the fifth time I am having an oxygen sensor replaced on my Genesis (the vehicle has 4). The symptom has been a check engine light that results in an intermittent, occasional problem when stopped and idling. The engine light starts to flash, the engine begins to idle very roughly, and there's barely enough power to creep through the intersection. This condition clears up pretty quickly but the light remains on. The flashing light/rough idle/loss of power recurs. The problem has occurred requiring an oxygen sensor change five times starting in mid-2016 at around 100,000 miles.”

“Had a similar problem earlier today while taking the car out to get dinner. As I was approaching the freeway exit my car suddenly stalled and the steering wheel seemed to stiffen and the navi screen went out then back on. I pulled over emergency lane and waited to see what would happen and music continued up again from the usb port but I couldn't change the song. On the navi screen where usb setting is saying initialization failed . So I pulled the usb stick to reset it and got it to work. I was able to go to dinner then drive back home without incident. …”
