I’ve owned this auto for 12 years. I’ve had no major issue. Regular maintenance is all i’ve had to service. The staff at Rice Case in Duluth Ga is excellent. Service mgr Tammy always greets me.

Only complaint I have is that the update to the GPS navigation system is not via cd or wireless and I was quoted a cost of about $325 to update. I use my I-phone to get addresses GPS doesn't have, a minor inconvenience but not worth $325 to correct.

I bought my Genesis a few months ago and it's a 2012 with 30,000 miles. It's very comfortable and seats 5 easily with lots of room. It is very quick for its size and definitely turns heads. The only downside is the gas mileage is 22 mixed and city 18. It's a great car for the value!

I have 33k on my 2012 Genesis. Since purchase in 8/2011 I have had the navigation replaced, the fuel injectors had to be cleaned because they were so dirty the car would stall in the middle of driving and now the oxygen sensor had to be replaced....stalling again, but this time the engine light went on so they could find the problem easier. Last time when it was stalling they couldn't find the problem until after keeping the car for 5 days. Now they recommend I buy fuel injector cleaner and put that in the tank every time I get an oil change in order to keep it from happening again. Even doing this, the car still has a rough idle at the start of the day. June 23, 2017 Update. After contacting BBB and after a year from the initial stalling problem, A Hyundai rep. came to the dealership. The Throttle body was replaced and I have not had a problem with stalling since then. It took 4 repair attempts over the course of one year and a lot of concern for my safety while driving to finally get this fixed. I has been almost 3 years since the final repair.
