“My wife came home an told me that the car had accelerated on it's own. I took it for a drive after she had shut it off, and found no problems. This happened several months ago, and she took it to the local dealer, and they could not find a problem. This pass weekend the same thing happened to me. I even drove up a hill to see if it would keep on accelerating, and it did. I had to pull over to the side of the road and turn the car off. When I restarted, it worked normally. The cruise control was off.”
NHTSA complaint #11219588, filed 2019-06, 48,124 miles“When turning right from a standstill, car momentarily stalls and then lunges forward after 2 or 3 seconds. This happens 3 or4 times a day. Mechanic at dealership said my foot was on the brake. The problem has continued and my foot was not on the brake.”
NHTSA complaint #10565842, filed 2014-02, 325 miles“Vehicle hesitates when trying to accelerate in city & highway traffic. I have taken it to the dealer twice and it will be the third time tomorrow. They don't seem to have a solution and tell me that the vehicle is learning my driving habit's. (how funny). This is my 15th or so new high line vehicle. This hesitation is causing life threatening experiences. I almost got creamed, (hit) several times while trying to merge on the free way. I see I'm not the only one with this problem. We need help.”
NHTSA complaint #10573008, filed 2014-03, 978 miles“While in traffic, stopped and attempting to change to next left hand lane, car stalls for a few seconds instead of accelerate, then it takes off after delay. The delay will cause an accident. Have mentioned this to the dealer and they do nothing. Dealer says everything is operating as designed. Posted this incident on Genesis forum and have gotten numerous complaints describing the same problem as I have been experiencing. We have had the car now just over 1 year now and it still does the hesitation. …”
NHTSA complaint #10592716, filed 2014-05, 300 miles“This is my 2nd time that has happened, 1st time was about in feb 15. 2014 and 2nd, on april 2,2014. Both times, I was on richmond hwy alexandria va driving abot 45 to 50 miles per hour. All of sudden the car decelerated to about 5 miles and I was flooring the pedal. I was in such a shock about this incident being that my car is only 1 year old. So we took it to the alexandria Hyundai dealership. The repair was very fast, they informed me that the throttle programming was off. I was in fear of my life since I drive through tunnels and bridges. …”
