The brakes drag on the primarily on front passenger side and sounds like its cutting into the rotor. They've been replaced several times and after a few months the issue reappears. The issue can affect any of the of the four wheels. It's much worse during frequent braking, or 'stop and go traffic', and when it's warmer outside.

ESC failed. I was attempting to make a left turn from a stopped position at a typical intersection. I lost control of the vehicle as it started to fishtail once I began the turn. Brakes did not respond and I ended up hitting the curb on the outer lane with both front and rear tires. Side curtain and passenger seat airbags deployed. Vehicle is now a total loss. I believe the faulty ESC poises a lot more risk that just a fire. From other reports on genesis forums by consumers like me, this problem with Hyundai's ESC seems to be a common and reoccurring problem. Recall should be updated to include that ESC may fail and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive.

This issue has started with my car stalling out in a parking lot sitting idle. The car just turned off. I restarted the car and it turned off again. After this happened i have noticed turning my car on its slow - like the battery is dieing. I went to Hyundai to get a diagostic test and nothing came up and they could not duplicate the car turning over slowly. Since then my car is still slow to start - "sometimes". NOW, I can go out and if I have to make several stops - it is garanteed to start slow and get stuck with the Auto Brake on - Which you can not release. I have a picture of the dashboard and a video of what happens when I drive - no RPM. This is causing me not to drive this car - I use to be a very happy Hyundai Genesis owner.

I owned the car for 9 months and never had a problem in the rain. It was raining and my car safety lights started flashing telling me that front collision warning was not working, lane departure warning was not working, blind spot detection was not working. And to check aeb system. Hyundai told me that although it worked fine for 9 months, that the safety features may not work in the rain
