2014 Hyundai GenesisRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“While driving at approximately 70MPH on the highway, my 2014 Hyundai Tucson Limited suddenly locked up with no warning lights, no noise and no prior symptoms. The engine completely seized, causing immediate loss of power. I was barely able to coast off the highway exit to a final stop on the feeder shoulder, in a desolate area. The vehicle has always been properly maintained and is in excellent condition. Upon research, I learned that Hyundai has known of internal engine defects caused by metallic debris left from manufacturing since 2010, which can cause bearing failure and engine seizure. My Tucson's failure matches the same pattern described in Hyundai's Theta II engine recall and warranty extension campaigns. This sudden failure created an extremely dangerous situation at highway speed and possibility of injury while being stranded on an open road. Many owners, myself included, were never properly notified of the risks. I am filing this report because this incident represents a serious safety defect and potential recurrence among similar vehicles that may not yet be covered by recall. I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Safety…”

“I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT IN OCTOBER 2019 WHERE I WAS REAR ENDED AND CARRIED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ALTHOUGH MY HEADRESTS DID DEPLOY BUT PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT MY CAR WOULD FISHTAIL WHEN MAKING TURNS WHEN THE ROADS WERE WET AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC MY CAR LOSES ACCELERATION ALL ON ITS OWN AND THEN GRADUALLY PICKS UP SPEED AGAIN I'VE ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN IN TRAFFIC WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC IT WAS VERY SCARY WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE CAR AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. NOW MY CAR IS SHOWING A LOT OF HARD CODE ERRORS FROM THE ABS/ESC SYSTEM TO POWER SEAT MODULES THEY SAY IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM ITSELF BECAUSE IT DOESN'T NOTIFY YOU OF ANY ISSUES ON THE DASHBOARD AT ALL. AND TODAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND MULTIPLE B CODES SHOWED UP WHICH DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE EVEN CAM SENSOR CODES AND I JUST GOT THIS CAR IN MARCH 2019.”

“It's termed as a "Dead Pedal" with the accelerator pedal sensor as to when the accelerator pedal is applied to move the car, the signal to apply gas to the engine to move it , doe's not happen, and the car will not move, momentarily causing a very unsafe situation in traffic. this problem is sporadic and you never know when it will happen. to my knowledge this is happening in the 2009 to 2015 models Hyundai Genesis cars with the 3.8 and 4.6 and 5.0 engines. Any car with the drive by wire is effected with this problem, and should be looked into and repaired. I have not gone to the dealer with this problem and there is no check engine light on when it happens.”
