V8 is Junk

Don't ever buy the V8 version if longevity is what your after, they run though oil like a McDonalds deep fryer then blow without warning, no tick, no knock they just blow. Google Hyundai, Equus or Genesis with "engine failed" behind it you'll see many fail with less than 60k miles even. They are junk but' I learned too late! Since its so well known these cars suffer from major electrical and trans issues too you can't sell one easily either. Do your homework before buying one you'll see these facts on the net. If you just look around for the high mileage V8's you see very few if any at all because most are behind owners garages needing a new $17k engine. Yup thats what they wanted for my new Hyundai engine, I bought a used engine and traded the car in before it failed me again without warning! Run Forest Ruuuun!
Hyundai customer service is awful

Car is great except that it is unreliable. Car was stalling out and died in the middle of make turns (even on the highway). Dealer kept the car for a month and finally replaced the wiring harness for the entire car. The transmission had to be replaced. The electronic controlled suspension died. Now the dealer says that there is a short somewhere but they can not find the cause. They have had the car for 2 weeks. I call them and leave messages but no one calls back. Hyundai has a special tel number for Equus owners. I called and they turned the matter over to a regional rep. The person called me once and told me that they would call back. She never called back (and yes I left numerous messages for her as well). I then called the "special" 800 number. They told me that I just have to wait for the regional rep to call me back. That was 4 days ago. Still no word. THEY JUST DO NOT CARE. Do NOT buy an Equus. Do NOT buy a Genesis. DO NOT BUY ANY Hyundai. You will be sorry. Update Hyundai finally fixed the problem. They had my car for a month. Returned it with scratches on rocker panel and dashboard. Now at 85,000 miles and out of warranty (except for drivetrain). After 3 major repairs under warranty keeping my fingers crossed. Engine burns about a quart of oil every 1,000 miles.

2013 - Purchased a new Eqqus; also purchased the extended warranty. The first incidence - rear-ended which put my car in a body shop for more than two mos, waiting for one screw from Hyundai. 2018 - (approx 90,000 mi), the transmission failed (Hyundai USA was gracious enough to replace as a humanitarian courtesy) 2018 - rear suspension collapsed - warranty expired; paid out of pocket 2019 - STRUTS failed - paid out of pocket 2020 - STEERING failed - paid out of pocket 2020 - ALL FOUR bushings failed simultaneously - paid out of pocket 2020 - REPLACED front windshield (paid out of pocket - window cost more than deductible) What next? My dilemma is,"do I keep the car and wait for the engine to blow up, or purchase another car, which certainly will not be another Hyundai product. Wish me luck. I will explore, "The Lemon Law," in California. This car was good then went horribly bad. (I think I've been in this website earlier detailing car issue)

I've owed this car (2013 hyundai equus) for the past 3 years and are very pleased with the performance. I am ready to purchased another, a 2016 in which I have started the process.

I love my ride. It has everything I need and I can ever hear my passengers when then speak from the back seat. It handles great in the rain and on most any road you do not feel the bumps or hear road noise. This is the third one me and my grandfather have bought along with four of the genesis. Only downfall is that dealerships near me have no clue how to work on them. The navigation updates should be free to access and buy rather than a dealership like superior hyundai whom is clueless how to work on the vehicle let alone know how to update the system. Luckily we have found us an amazing mechanic, who can do anything when it comes to working on my equus and others we have bought to resale. The 2013 is by far the best we have spent 0.00 dollars in fixing anything major, all has been basic maintenance oil changes, air filter etc. I highly recommend 2012 and 2013 equus years and do not recommend the 2011 the air ride systems on that year is awful along with all the other issues that the dealer could not fix. I love that any place I go, I do not see my same car in the parking spots. I always get compliments and asked what kind of car it is. Once i open the door they are always amazed. Truly a beautiful ride! I absolutely love mine!
