Genesis Coupe

  • miles
I was driving home on January 1, 2023 at 5 AM at about 60 mph on an interstate when I heard a sound come from the back of my car and then looked into the rearview mirror and smelled smoke and saw fire flames in my rear and side mirrors. I tried to use my brakes to stop my car, but the brakes would not work, so I took it out of Drive and put it into park-?? which slowed the car down and I was able to exit the car right before it burst into flames. The car is now a total loss.

Genesis Coupe

  • 55,000 miles
I had 53,000 miles on the vehicle. Driving on highway my steering wheel got stiff and took an exit. My vehicle was in smoke and towed to near by Hyundai service center. I was told that timing belt got broken and that in-turn caused damage to engine pistons. Hyundai declined to offer any assistance, and said I have to pay for all the repairs. I had to sell the car for a few hundred dollars, because they asked about 7K to fix a replacement engine.
