STEERING
Potential Consequences:
About 5-6 months ago, when turning left or right, the steering wheel started essentially locking in that position, and I have to yank it back to center. It will not self-center. The dealer was not able to fix it, and it's a very dangerous car to drive now. I will not let any other members of my family drive it. Also, I've had a severe drivetrain vibration for about a year, and over $7,000 was spent on a new driveshaft and transfer case. It is now worse than it was and the dealer doesn't know what to do. Even with only 34,000 miles on the car, it is out of warranty, and Hyundai doesn't seem to care. I have installed brand new tires hoping that it might help both situations, but it didn't. I'm just at my wit's end now. I guess I will just have to park the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle suffered complete loss of power. Would not start on random occasions, but would then power on after lifting trunk cover to access battery. It appears that the positive battery cable connection box has a design flaw in which it helps to support the trunk cover. Over time with loading and unloading trunk, this is causing the terminal to twist and the clamp that holds the battery terminal to the post will eventually not provide enough pressure to ensure a firm connection to the battery. This leads to complete loss of power in the vehicle at any time.

Potential Consequences:
THE FIRST INCIDENCE OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE WHEN WE NOTICED THAT AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE TRAVELING TO A VACATION. IT THEN WENT OFF AFTER A FEW HOURS SO WE WAITED UNTIL OUR RETURN TO REPORT IT TO THE DEALER, SUNBURY MOTOR COMPANY HYUNDAI DIVISION IN SUNBURY, PA. THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND I ASSUMED FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS SPECIFIC LIGHT NEVER WENT ON AGAIN. WE DID NOTICE AND REPORTED THAT AT TIMES THE BEEPING AND LIGHTING UP OF THE COLLISION WARNING SAFETY FEATURE DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS ACTUALLY RESULTING IN A SMALL SCRAP DIRECTLY BELOW THE SENSOR WHILE PARKING. WE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. I ASKED OUR SALESPERSON, CHRIS FAUST, IF THIS WOULD RESULT IN A CHARGE ON OUR LEASED VEHICLE AND HE SAID NO IT WAS AN EASY FIX. WE WERE LEAVING FOR OUR ANNUAL SNOWBIRD TRIP TO FLORIDA IN A FEW DAYS AND THE LEASE WAS OVER SHORTLY AFTER WE RETURNED HOME SO I SAID IT WASN'T THAT NOTICEABLE. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR. CHRIS SAID THAT IT WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM UPON INSPECTION AND IF QUESTIONED THEY WOULD REPAIR IT BEFORE. I SAID FINE. WHILE IN FLORIDA, CLOSE TO THE TIME FOR OUR TRIP HOME WE WERE ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN A VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF US WHILE PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER UNTO A BUSY STREET. NONE OF THE WARNING SYSTEMS OR AUTO BRAKING SYSTEMS WORKED AND THE RESULT WAS MISSING THE VEHICLE BY INCHES ALONG WITH SEVERELY JOLTING MY WIFE AND I. IT DID RESULT IN A NECK INJURY TO ME WHICH I THOUGHT WAS MUSCULAR AND WOULD GO AWAY BUT IT DID NOT. THE INJURY WAS TREATED AND IS STILL BEING TREATED. AFTER READING SOME OF THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE HYUNDAI GENESIS WE DECIDED NOT TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. BOTH HYUNDAI AND SUNBURY MOTORS WERE AWARE OF THE LAST INCIDENCE BUT HAVE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED IT. OUR ATTORNEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

THIS ACTUALLY RESULTING IN A SMALL SCRAP DIRECTLY BELOW THE SENSOR WHILE PARKING. WE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. I ASKED OUR SALESPERSON, CHRIS FAUST, IF THIS WOULD RESULT IN A CHARGE ON OUR LEASED VEHICLE AND HE SAID NO IT WAS AN EASY FIX. WE WERE LEAVING FOR OUR ANNUAL SNOWBIRD TRIP TO FLORIDA IN A FEW DAYS AND THE LEASE WAS OVER SHORTLY AFTER WE RETURNED HOME SO I SAID IT WASN'T THAT NOTICEABLE. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR. CHRIS SAID THAT IT WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM UPON INSPECTION AND IF QUESTIONED THEY WOULD REPAIR IT BEFORE. I SAID FINE. WHILE IN FLORIDA, CLOSE TO THE TIME FOR OUR TRIP HOME WE WERE ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN A VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF US WHILE PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER UNTO A BUSY STREET. NONE OF THE WARNING SYSTEMS OR AUTO BRAKING SYSTEMS WORKED AND THE RESULT WAS MISSING THE VEHICLE BY INCHES ALONG WITH SEVERELY JOLTING MY WIFE AND I. IT DID RESULT IN A NECK INJURY TO ME WHICH I THOUGHT WAS MUSCULAR AND WOULD GO AWAY BUT IT DID NOT. THE INJURY WAS TREATED AND IS STILL BEING TREATED. AFTER READING SOME OF THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE HYUNDAI GENESIS WE DECIDED NOT TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. BOTH HYUNDAI AND SUNBURY MOTORS WERE AWARE OF THE LAST INCIDENCE BUT HAVE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED IT. OUR ATTORNEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE ISSUE.
Additional Notes:
THE FIRST INCIDENCE OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE WHEN WE NOTICED THAT AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE TRAVELING TO A VACATION. IT THEN WENT OFF AFTER A FEW HOURS SO WE WAITED UNTIL OUR RETURN TO REPORT IT TO THE DEALER, SUNBURY MOTOR COMPANY HYUNDAI DIVISION IN SUNBURY, PA. THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND I ASSUMED FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS SPECIFIC LIGHT NEVER WENT ON AGAIN. WE DID NOTICE AND REPORTED THAT AT TIMES THE BEEPING AND LIGHTING UP OF THE COLLISION WARNING SAFETY FEATURE DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS ACTUALLY RESULTING IN A SMALL SCRAP DIRECTLY BELOW THE SENSOR WHILE PARKING. WE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. I ASKED OUR SALESPERSON, CHRIS FAUST, IF THIS WOULD RESULT IN A CHARGE ON OUR LEASED VEHICLE AND HE SAID NO IT WAS AN EASY FIX.
