The vehicle briefly shut down on its own for no apparent reason while in motion at rate of 25mph at nighttime, the vehicle turned back on a second later as if nothing happened. The cause of the shut down is unknown and could have caused an accident had I not been on an empty road. While the vehicle was off, I had no control over power steering or accelerating, the entire vehicle became unresponsive with the both the entire instrument panel and exterior lights off.

I bought Genesis at March 24, 2015, and I am not owner right now because I sold that car. When I bought car, there were noise at engine at new car. After checking the car, Hyundai engineer said " short block problem". it is exactly same problem of sonata (theta 2 engine). I think Genesis engine(rhamda 3.8) also have problem. I will attach related paper. Thank you.

The car engine will spontaneously stop while the car is in motion. This causes me to lose all power steering, brakes stability control etc. This has happened on city street while the car was in motion. The car was moving forward in a relatively straight line. It has been "fixed" but not fixed. It is at the dealer for the 2nd "fix". the 1st "fix"was 10/12/15. The 2nd "fix" began 10/27/15 & is still underway. The consumer stated a diagnostic report found 32 codes. The consumer was provided a loaner vehicle. Updated 10/25/2017

problem #2

Jun 272015

Genesis

  • 10,786 miles
After accelerating from a stop light behind another vehicle, there was a loud cracking noise heard from behind the dash board and the car suddenly and violently accelerated without warning with a loud "boom" in the back as though someone had hit me from behind, but no one had hit me. I had to brake hard to avoid hitting the car in from of me. When the car violently accelerated the back of the car dipped down (and the front up). I immediately called the dealer and reported this and the car is now in the repair shop. There are no error codes in the gds system for this incident and they are unable to reproduce. This was a very frightening experience and my trust level is now 0/100.
