“Blind spot warning system is not operating. After having it checked and fixed, the warning is back after threw days. Looks like this is a well known issue that Hyundai does not want to repair or make better. After driving from a road trip on the interstate/highway, once I arrived to my destination, the bsd warning was displayed. No damage, and no collision.”

“The vehicle briefly shut down on its own for no apparent reason while in motion at rate of 25mph at nighttime, the vehicle turned back on a second later as if nothing happened. The cause of the shut down is unknown and could have caused an accident had I not been on an empty road. While the vehicle was off, I had no control over power steering or accelerating, the entire vehicle became unresponsive with the both the entire instrument panel and exterior lights off.”

NHTSA complaint #10950356, filed 2017-02, 7,300 miles

“I was attempting to make a left turn into traffic when several dashboard indicators went off and the power steering shut down. My family and I were almost hit by on coming traffic! In seconds I was faced with having to turn off and restart the vehicle in order to get it to work correctly and get out of the road. Got home and parked it over night and the next day the same thing happened again with steering and instrument cluster. I absolutely do not feel safe in this vehicle! 2015 Genesis 5.0”
