ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My 2016 Hyundai Genesis has several open recalls. I cannot get a dealership to help me get these issues resolved. One recall in particular Hyundai recall number 254 is causing major safety issues. My car does not start 90% of the time without being jumped and now the car will die out while driving. It has caused me to almost wreck several times. I have called all of the local Hyundai dealerships none of which say they can get me in for weeks and that there is no fix for my problem. If I do get to someone to book an appointment, when they hear the problem they put me on permahold and then the line disconnects! This is a major safety issue and needs to be fixed by Hyundai immediately.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Genesis.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Car experience loss of control to accelerator while driving on major highway. The vehicle's speed coasted down from highway speed of 65mph to low 50s before vehicle was safely stopped on roadside emergency breakdown lane. This incident could have easily resulted in a collision with faster-moving traffic. The vehicle has been transported to a dealer for inspection to determine the cause, however this episode appears very similar to a documented issue in 2016 with a faulty fuel harness and low pressure fuel pump. No warnings or indications were present until after the car was turned off and restarted.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The engine oil pressure sensor is failing on a lot of these vehicles at around 60k miles. The repair is costly due to where the sensor is located. Repair is no less than $1000 dollars for a part that costs $180. I believe a precedent was set when in Korea Hyundai was forced to issue a recall. http://www.consumerpost.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=302770
