Genesis

  • 150,000 miles
The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. The contact had engaged the windshield wipers during a light rainstorm and noticed that the intermittent wiper function was not working as designed. The contact stated that gradually the wiper speeds were no longer functional, and only the high-speed option was operable. The contact had taken the vehicle to the local dealer who diagnosed that the gasket around the wiper motor had failed, and that water had entered the wiper motor and determined that the wiper motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred; however, the contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer and was advised that the vehicle was no longer under warranty and had to be repaired out-of-pocket. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the gasket around the wiper motor had deteriorated, and water was leaking into the wiper motor's electrical circuits. The contact was advised by the mechanic that there was a recall, NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V117000 (Visibility); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Genesis

  • 256 miles
Have a whitish, grey condensation creeping up about 3" from the lower part of the windshield and also on the driver side door windows, front and back and the rear window. Actually looks like mold. At the dealership, checked out 5 other Genesis, they all had the same problem. No other model of Hyundai's had this problem. This moldy looking condensation/moisture is inside the window itself, not touchable on either side of window. After driving for a while the moldy appearance subsides and the windows appear like double pane windows with a broken seal.
