I have had nothing but problems with mine, I love the car but I have no confidence with it. The radio has been replaced 4 times, the ac repaired and still does not cool, the radar, rack and pinion replaced, the fuel pump replaced, a fuel purge valve replaced not fuel mileage is terrible. The car is still acting up. Trying to file lemon law with Hyundai, here is what they do. Hyundai draggggg you out till most people give up and trade the vehicle in. Its been over a year and a half and I can wait another year and half if I have too. I will never give up, and I have told my story to as many people as I can. I have personally stopped two people so far from buying a Hyundai.

Only have it three days. Great deal, traded 2009 MB E350. 28mpg on first long trip. Love buying regular vs premium. Connected Blackberry to bluetooth in 60 seconds, took days with MB. iPad cable/interface awesome, even names songs in medley! Lexicon better thsn Harmon Kardon. Acceleration is smooth and fast. Tight car great fit and finish.
Pleased from Day One

After a decade of driving Cadillacs -- mostly SRXs -- I decided to see what else I could find in the $40K range. After looking at BMWs and Audis, I drove the Genesis 4.6L and took it home that night. Looked very nice, had far more features for the money. And I have been 98% delighted ever since. Great warranty and pretty good dealer support for normal maintenance. Only problem -- really, the only problem -- is a mysterious failure of the entertainment center once every 80 or so starts. On for 15 seconds, then off for 15 seconds. Can't find a way to correct it once it occurs ... but after being off for a few hours it is back to normal, and normal is very, very good with great sound syste
Great car, Gone to Great Places...

Today I've had my 2012 Genesis sedan 3.8 for exactly 6 1/2 years and can tell you the only problem I've ever encountered was at Zion Nat'l Park in 103 temperature my 4 year old battery died on me. Thats It. From San Jose, California I've taken it to Canada 500 miles north 3 times, Las Vegas 500 miles southwest of me approximately 4 times, San Diego 500 miles south of me 4 times, and Reno Nevada numerous times,...never one single problem. I think this body style is way better looking than the new Genesis body style. The new Genesis looks like a big Honda, or Toyota. Not mine. My 2012 looks good even standing still with its sloping front end, and rounded taillights. In Washington state returning one summer from Canada, 4 people in the Dennys parking lot stopped and tried to figure what my car was as I have installed the wing package on the trunk lid. They thought it was a Bently I'm sure. Ha Ha. My dealership is O.K. as I have a prepaid service pkg. where they change my oil & filter free up to 75k miles. My 2012 handles great, gets me 28mpg on the highway and has Plenty of power with 333hp , more than the new ones. I plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off. Fast forward..today is 7 17 23..just got back from las vegas with it...480miles from san jose calif, one way. Did 75mph all the way on a full take, averaged 28 mpg and still had 50 miles left when i got there. Always feels like i'm in a 747, super quiet. Still a great car..keeping it forever. Its a 2012, with 70,000 miles on it..Today is Jan 16th, 2024, had to put a set of tires on it. Thats it, every 3rd fill up I put a can of injector STP in it to keep the injectors clean..still a great car.

What a find. We still can't beleive its a Hyundai. Read tons of reviews and we drove several different model cars. After buying Honda for more than 20 years, we found we needed a change.....a better one. We found it in Hyundai. The reviews were great. We purchased a Genesis at Glendora Hyundai. Great experience with the dealership. We love our new car. Thank you Glendora Hyundai and Thank you Hyundai for a beautiful car.
