Hi Everybody we bought a used car from the dealer here in Bahrain
Its a black 2008 Genesis
the problem we have here that the dealer cars are all without navigation system
I don't know why but when I asked them they answered me that this is the highest option that the factory send for them
I want to know if anyone bought a genesis and fixed a navigation system on it because we fixed a Garmen navigation system but frankly we didn't like it because they used the aux input for the navigation and that made everything off when the navigation is on
another thing is that when the car moves the navigation goes off
so i will be grateful if anyone just know anything and replied

I went to this site and they gave me the best rebates / incentives on my new Hyundai. I just found the new model I was looking for and it shows all of the huge rebates and great incentives on all their new vehicles. I was a little skeptical about how high the new incentives and rebates were, but I submitted my information and was contacted in 3 days later by a dealer who was in the next town over, and who was able to save me $8500 in rebates and incentives 0% on my new Hyundai. I guess how it works is that the site did some negotiations directly with Hyundai New Sales Division and are able to give us an even higher incentives and rebates than what a Hyundai dealer can give to us. I bought a Hyundai, but they have it for all brands of New Cars Trucks and SUV’s. They will send you information to your email and you bring that into the dealer and get pretty much better than employee pricing on your new vehicle, plus I got that huge rebates and great new incentives. Any dealer will sell you a new car or truck at invoice if you negotiate the proper deals and this paper told me exactly how to win out when buying a brand new car or truck. I showed my salesman this printed out paper, and he sold it to me at invoice. Check them out if you are in the market for a new Hyundai, will save you a ton of money.

I have my genesis for a moth now love the car but disappointed in the ride Any others fee the same comments please

Greetings all,

Some folks here may recall all of this so ignore the next paragraph if you remember me!

At the beginning of 2008 I picked up two new loaded Azeras (Limited + Ultimate). Off the lot, the fit & finish in the cars, feature content, and powertrain refinement was at the top of the scale, bar none. After about a year, some things annoyed me a bit - the different-colored backlights across the dashboard, the plastic door pulls - and some concerned me a bit, like a paint chip that fell off the rear quarter panel (with no apparent cause), highway-speed balance that they just couldn't get quite right, and the dreaded clunky suspension that others have addressed repeatedly with their dealers, at the cost of much time & energy, and to no avail. Hyundai had revised the shock absorber three times and nothing helped. Also, the finish on all the cars' wheels was staining a little around the edges, which was unsightly. All of that was (barely) within tolerance for a car at this price point and again, with the excellent feature content. Then, almost at the same time, both of our cars developed the double-dreaded dashboard airbag seam crack. Both were replaced under warranty - one required follow-up work because the dashboard was not re-assembled correctly - with exactly the same part as the outgoing part.

I took one look at the price of the part ($550 or so, IIRC) and the book labor, and bailed on those cars as fast as I could, both with EXTREMELY low mileage (one with 3500mi, one with 8000mi). At 18 months, of course, that was the WORST point for depreciation but I was at that point beyond my tolerance. From much experience I knew there were many other cars I could buy used that would deliver equal or greater reliability, performance, refinement, and even aesthetic condition, than these near-new Azeras. When I considered how much the Azera's dashboard would cost to replace - over $1k per go around the merry-go-round - multiplied by 2 cars - multiplied by the fact that they didn't revise the part (and still haven't, to my knowledge) - I would NOT want to be burdened with that expense after the bumper-to-bumper warranty runs out. Together with all the other issues, it was a car I just didn't want to own & drive. What I bought to replace them (for the time being, anyway) is two low-mileage W140 (S-Class) Mercedes, which have not exactly been a pleasure to own either.

I'm still eyeballing the Genesis, and even Equus (or whatever they want to call it in the U.S.) later this year. The Genesis leases are very enticing, as are the warranties - and due to some recent and near-future changes in my life, having a car that's under a bumper-to-bumper warranty is very compelling for me. So what I'm looking for and asking about is the same kind of pattern failure in Genesis.

Skimming the recent posts on this message board I see all of the usual suspects: balance & alignment, a few electrical issues - which are things we read about almost from day 1 with the Genesis, and you would read similar things on a forum for M-B E-class or BMW 5-series, or even Lexus GS / LS. There are going to be SOME quality issues with a machine this complex, and at the premium price point, people hope and expect perfection, and they're going to be disappointed when the vehicle falls anywhere shy of that. You almost assume it. Misery loves company, so in forums that focus on newer models, you find a lot of this kind of commiseration and less from "enthusiasts" who are looking for tips & tricks and guidance on repair projects.

I'm more interested in "stupid stuff" like the dashboard in the Azera - not typical wear parts or adjustments - but mechanical, body & interior, electronic parts that seem to be failing for most or all of these cars over time. Things that indicate design failure, failed engineering, failed quality controls, as opposed to what I'd call a normal occurrence of problems per car.

I already see that there are folks who are having problems that Hyundai can't / won't fix; the customer is intractable, and Hyundai is intractable. That's almost a gamble you have to assume you're taking when you buy the "cheap Korean suit". However, there has been surprisingly LITTLE traffic on this forum in the last 6 months so maybe that answers my question... maybe there really just isn't much to complain about in this car, after its first year and a half on the market.

I'm not really looking for the "it happened to MY car, therefore watch out on all cars!" kinds of anecdotes. I'm more looking for the regulars, car forum junkies, who have been here since I bailed six months ago, and have participated regularly in this forum or other forums. What's the scoop with Genesis (4.6 Tech Package, in particular)? What have you seen going wrong in ALL cars? Can Hyundai fix its problems on this car or not?

Do they ALL have alignment problems?

Do the wheels bend easily when you hit potholes?

Do the stereos fail? Batteries drain? Are there interior parts that tend to fade / crack / fall off? Electronics that malfunction (like the Azera's rear sunshade)? Bulbs that go out repeatedly? Clunky suspension? Fading paint? Etc. etc. etc. etc.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Does anyone else have this issue with their Genesis 3.8 w/tech.

My car has a subtle vibration at highway speeds. It starts about 60 and doesn't get any worst as speed increases. The vibration is in the seat not the steering wheel. The vibration also doesn't change with road conditions. it's the same no matter what road you are on. The tires have all been road force balanced and most of them have been replaced. I'm getting pretty frustrated with this because after a 100 mile trip my back and rear end are sore. Hyundai is trying to tell me that this is normal because the car has 18 inch rims and low profile tires on it.

Please let me know your experience because at this point my next trip is to a lemon law attorney, which is a Hugh bummer for me because I love everything else about the car.

Thanks ... Doug

Just curious, how do luxury car drivers feel about their new Genesis? Is it also a true luxury car?

I would especially like to hear from MB, big BMW, big Lexus, and other luxury car owners. Do you think the car is a legitimate luxury car in every sense, or a partial or total knockoff?

Have you taken other luxury car owners for a ride, and what were their impressions?


Happy New Year to all,,,

Ever since I got to see and hear a pre-production Genesis V8, I was pretty disappointed in the exhaust. It wasn't just the fact that it sounded too subtle, it actually sounded like it was strangling the engine. The poor thing couldn't breathe.

The video doesn't say who makes the exhaust but I think this sounds incredibly hot.

Genesis Custom V8 Exhaust

I noticed that several of the 2010 Genesis have the Hyundai H and some have the Genesis Wings why is that? I think the wings look awesome compared to the lowly Hyundai H logo. Actually, if I were Hyundai I would remove the H on the whole Genesis lineup and I would also add the Veracruz to the Genesis nameplate and give it the wings as well. I think when you spend nearly $50,000 on a car you probably don't want the Hyundai logo. This would have been a great opportunity for Hyundai to create a true luxury brand with the Genesis name and the Genesis wing logo to differentiate a $50,000 car versus their $10,000 Elantra. Unfortunately I don't work for Hyundai marketing. This will go the way of the VW Pheoton if Hyundai keeps raising the price and if they want to compete witht the luxury brands. VW has been around a lot longer that Hyundai and they couldn't do it. They have their luxury makes anyways with Audi, Porsche, Bugatti etc..Another thing that may hurt Hyundai is you have to stop creating orphans e.g Azera

Anyone have any experience on updating the software maps on the 09 Genisis? Can this only be done at the dealership?

Does anyone know if you can install an aftermarket remote starter to the 2009 Genesis?

This is a video of me driving my brand new 2009 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 w/Technology package. After many failed attempts by the dealership Somersworth Hyundai in New Hampshire and Hyundai North America Field Engineers, they claim that there is nothing wrong with my car and it functions as designed. Watch the video of my car as it changes lanes all by its self. Does this look like a car that performs as designed? Looks to me more like a car that can cause you to have a fatal accident

I have not seen nor heard anywhere if Hyundai is getting on the battery powered car action. I would think this would create some interest.

The following is a summary of the findings of the writer of this column, auto writer Ron Amadon.
Don

Cars of the year: Hyundai Coupe and Volkswagen GTI. For the first time, there is a tie for Car of the Year. It all depends on how you like your performance. I was simply blown away by the Hyundai Coupe equipped with the 210 horsepower, 2.0 liter turbo four, and the track pack.

While not hugely fast, (7.0 seconds or so to 60), the handling was out-of-this-world fun on real-world roads. The GTI was also a blast to drive (6 second range to 60), but more refined and civilized than the Hyundai. It was quiet on the road, with good power and a slick shifting 6-speed manual. They both met my criteria -- a fun car at a decent price that will not require a Fed bailout to fill up at the pumps. The tested Hyundai went for $27,625. The GTI starts at $23,290.

Best sedan: Hyundai Genesis. Smooth and solid at a good price, the Genesis is another winner from Hyundai. In both V8 and V6 form, this car is well equipped and hard-to-beat for the sticker price. The Genesis is one of the reasons Hyundai posted sales gains during the recession. An entry level will go for about $32,250.

Good morning Folks,

I test drove a 4.6 w/ Tech Package today and I could not find a way to switch the map to a 3D view like my dad's Infiniti and my aftermarket Kenwood unit I installed in my Sonata. I think from a usability standpoint it makes a huge difference to see the map in a similar view to what you are seeing out of your windshield.

Thanks in advance for the info on if this is possible or not.

Justin

I am considering a new Genesis sedan. How much can I consider to pay for one out the door in So. CA I would like it to have the usual extras including the navagation package.

Charlie

I just had to tell this story;

Hyundai’s Vice President of customer service in the Northeast, from the beginning has said that my car operates as designed, even though he has never driven it. Hyundai sent what they claimed was the best Genesis engineer in the country to look at my car twice both times he made a few changes and said my car was fine after each visit. Initially the dealer was on my side but since I haven’t let up with the vibration and now drifting issue with my car they have changed their tune and are backing Hyundai.

Here is the story of my car;

Iitially there was a pretty bad vibration in the car at highway speeds. The dealership changed one of the tires on my car and the vibration persisted. The Hyundai engineer looked at my car and suggested changing the rear axils. Hyundai sent the wrong parts and they could only change one of the axils. The engineer said my car was fine. However, the vibration was still there. The Hyundai engineer came out again a few weeks later and found two additional bad tires on my car and again said the car was fine. The vibration persisted but was a little better. The next day I was walking up to my car and noticed that the driver side rear tire was leaning in at the top causing it to ride on the inside of the tire. I pointed this out to the dealer and they said it looked fine. However, I insisted they check the alignment and three of the wheels on my car were out of specification. Remember the Hyundai engineer said my car was fine and operating as designed. In the process of all this work they have really screwed something up with my car. There are other very strange things that happen with my car, yesterday all of the electrical systems in the car shutdown while driving and the car sputtered to try to get going, all of a sudden the power came back and the car leapt forward. Oh by the way this was in heavy traffic so I had to slam on the breaks to keep from smashing into the car in front of me. This evening the head lights shut off all be their self on the highway and then after about 10 – 15 seconds they came back on again. The parking sensors sometime chime and sometimes they don’t but they do show an object in front of the car. Last but not least if you are traveling on the highway and apply light pressure to the gas pedal, like you do in traffic to keep pace, there is a distinctive vibration in what feel like the transmission.

I have asked the dealer and Hyundai to replace the car but they said they weren’t going to do that. I have driven one of the other Genesis’s they have on the lot and it doesn’t act like mine. The only thing about that car is it was the 4.6.

I’m not saying that all Hyundai Genesis are bad, I would probably still buy a Genesis even after all this. I just got a bad one and neither Hyundai nor their dealer are willing to do what is right and replace my car.

Please pass along my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwcBqI69QM4 and story so I can get as much support from the greater consumer community. Please comment on the video so when I send it to Hyundai they will see what their customer’s and potential customer’s think. When Hyundai finally does the right thing I am planning on removing the post and removing the video but not until they do what's right.

Thanks … Doug

Each year J.D. Power & Associates does a study that examines the most appealing cars to consumers and this year there is one big surprise. The Hyundai Genesis sedan topped the BMW 5 Series and Jaguar XF in the mid-sized luxury segment for the 2009 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study.

The APEAL Study is based off of owner evaluations of over 80,900 new car consumers from February to May 2009 and takes into account over 90 factors and generally evaluates how those buyers or leasers feel about their car new car.

Other winners include the VW Passat in the Mid-sized car segment, the Nissan Maxima in the Large Car segment, the Honda Odyssey in the Minivan Segment, a tie between the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Avalanche in the Pickup Truck segment and the Smart fortwo in the Sub-compact Car segment. And on that note, we urge you to take the list with a grain of salt, as the Smart beat out cars like the Honda Fit.

In terms of manufacturers, Porsche topped the list for the fifth consecutive year, while domestic brands like Dodge, Pontiac, Buick and Cadillac showed the most improvement. As a manufacturer Cadillac placed third overall.

Overall, scores for 2009 improved over 2008, due mostly to improvements in the fuel-economy segment. J.D. Power lists three contributing factors to this increase: improved fuel-economy of the vehicles; an increase in ownership of fuel-efficient cars, with over 50 percent (as compared to 39 percent in 2008) of the surveyed vehicles powered by four-cylinder engines; and a drop in fuel prices that has also meant consumers are less interested in fuel economy.

One other trend that has emerged is the increasing appeal of domestic brands, as they ranked, on average, just five points below import brands. This compares to a difference of 15 points last year and 27 points in 2007.

Hello there,
is there anyone on this forum who installed aftermarket Gps navi in their genesis?

Does anyone know when the 2010's start rolling out? or know of any new features?I hear that they are going to be adding the paddles on the steering for shifting?

Does anyone know if the Genesis Nav System is also touch screen? I know it has the media control knob down by the cupholders, but I was curious as to if it was touch screen as well.

Hello all... I have just purhased a 2009 Genesis Sedan 4.6 Tech... Silver with Black... so far... "lovin it"

I have purchased the hood wings, the tire wings and the sterling wheel wings.

Getting snow tires today (Kuhmo - 235/50/18 with MSR/045 rims) as I hear it's going to be another crazy winter !

Once I get them all on I will post some pictures....that's all for now

Looking forward to sharing the "Genesis" experience within the forum

Cheers,

G.

NEW...I have attached some of the images... I am not a photographer but I think you get the idea....

Hi guys,
Could you please share your experiences about real fuel consumption of Genesis ?
Both V6 and V8.
I'm very curious what is the real fuel consumption of this car in city and HW.
Do u use standard gasoline or premium?
Rob.

Let's track sales prices for the different packages..........

I have a new (2000 miles) '09 Genesis and the TPMS light comes on occasionaly. No pattern to it. The dealer says it is affected by radio frequencies and this will happen from time to time. Supposedly Hyundai is working on it. Anyone else have this problem?

FYI, the October issue of Consumer Reports tested the Genesis Coupe, Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. Gen came in 3rd (barely) to Camaro and Mustang and way ahead of Challenger. CR did have negative comments re: the ride and suspension in the Genesis.
Appears that suspension is an issue to which Hyundai needs to pay more attention. Edmunds Inside Line also had negatives re: first drive of Equus and it has appeared many times in reviews of Genesis sedan and Azera. Except for this one issue and a few QC ones, upscale Hyundais would be **** near perfect.

How can I tell when a particular car was manufactured ?

From what I can tell, the HD radio will pick up AM radio stations broadcasting in HD. I have looked on the website that list HD radio stations and see there are some in Atlanta as well as many other ares. However, When I tune these stations, I don't seem to get the HD programming. I am thinking that the stations are not very strong and likely need to get a "full quieting" signal in order to decode the HD signal.

Has anyone actually been able to pick up HD on the AM band? If so, I am wondering what you think of the sound.

Hey All

Dropped a 3K deposit on my new 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 w/ tech package last Thursday and the dealer just called... My New Car will be here Next Thursday!!!!!! (Got her in black with black leather.)

The only question I have is rather simple:

I have read reports online that the 4.6 with the Tech Package has a 40 Gig hard drive that you can store music on... Is this true??? I never read anything about it on the Hyundai website or the cars brochure....

If it doesn't, can I plug my 8 Gig memory stick into the onboard USB port and listen to the songs straight off there? (Would save a lot of clumsy CD's...)



PS: I will load lots of pics when I get her next week!

Anyone experience an error message "Failure to Initialize" when trying to add a USB loaded with .wav files or mp3 files into the unit? I made sure that they were not itunes mpeg4 songs, but mp3 and also tried with wav. Also tried 2 different USB sticks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Just got my Genesis V6 and I am amazed and really happy with this car. I used to drive Acura TL earlier and most features in this are better. Howver one feature I wanted is when you use your remote and press and hold the open button then windows roll down. Anyone knows if there is a module available for remote windows rollup/down?

Thanks

I hear Hyundai has a tight grip on info about upgrade chip for Genesis, I also hear that they may be releasing one in about 8-10 months, that will enable higher HP(500hp) and better fuel economy and such. Hope this is true.
I look forward to that when it drops

Issue is acceleration to 60 from zero, or acceleration beyond 70 to pass on interstate. Acceleration seems to lag when stepping down in auto. Would try using manual shifting, but scared of exceeding redline. Does this 2009 Genesis 4.6 Tech protect itself from me by auto upshifting even in manual? If it does, does 0-60 time improve if put in manual at 1 and letting it upshift nearer redline than in auto?

Has anyone had any issues with after the car sits and then when you start it up and start the AC that it blows warm air, then when you drive the car it cools down rapidly? Just wanting to know if this is normal, I had it at the dealership and hey could not recreate the issue?

I have been using premium fuel since I got my new 4.6 (1500 miles). What fuel are you using. This evening, I filled up with Regular fuel for the first time to see if I could tell any difference. What has your experience been between Regular and Premium fuel?

No conclusion yet but it does seem less power on normal acceleration from a light.

Wow, it sure is interesting driving around the major highways and areas of Atlanta metro where the high end vehicle owners tend to frequent. I find it amusing where people speed up to see what kind of car that is and pass you craning their neck to take a look. You can tell they are asking themselves, what is that!

Had a guy on a Harley speed up checked out the car passed me on the right taking another look gave the ol' thumbs up and sped off.

I have a winged badges all the way around. One person in a shopping parking lot asked me what kind of car that was. Told him it was a Genesis. He said, "oh I have heard of those. They are suppose to be nice. At first, I though it was a Bentley".

After parking the car for a little while (overnight for example) when I put it in drive there is a small "clunk" that appears to come from the right rear wheel. Anyone else having this experience?

Thanks.

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at TrueDelta.com. TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to provide reliability information on new models like the Genesis quickly.

Because of the significance of the Genesis for Hyundai and the car industry as a whole, I'd like to have results for it as soon as possible.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members receive full access to the results for free.

For the details, and to sign up to help out:

Vehicle reliability research

I am just waiting to get my career back on track and once I get some money saved up, I'm going to take the plunge and get a Genesis. I had originally set my sights on a new Santa Fe but after seeing the new grille design I narrowed it down to the Genesis or Genesis Coupe. After another month or so of pondering, I knocked the GC out of the running as it isn't practical for my lifestyle and going out with friends, etc. Plus I'm not an ostentatious person and the coupe is a bit flashy whereas the sedan is more subtle and toned down. So, I wanted to see what everybody thought of these ideas for my Genesis. She would be a custom, built-to-order car as follows:

Trim: 4.6
Color: Black Noir Pearl
Interior: Jet Black Leather
Factory-Fitted Options: Technology Package

Modifications & Accessories
- Carpeted Floor Mats with embroidered Genesis logo
- No Front Plate (not drilled into bumper AT ALL)
- 20% window tint all around (except windshield)
- 3/8" drop with stiffer springs
- Debadge 'Genesis' and '4.6' logos. Retain Hyundai insignia on trunk lid and wheels.
- Custom Alcantara head lining to color match factory material
- Custom Exhaust (remove resonators, custom vibrant mufflers, two tips per side)
- Michelin Pilot Sport Summer High-Performance Tires
- Cultural Trust License Plate (standard issue; not custom)
- Matte Black License Plate Frame (no inscriptions) with screw caps
- Clear mask hood, mirror caps, door edges and inside door handle coves
- OEM Hyundai Car Cover
- Chrome Hyundai “H” Stem Valve Caps

I'm thinking about even getting a nice set of aftermarket wheels although I do like the factory V8 wheels.

Any comments or ideas? Thanks.

Anyone know where can I find the Korean version of the Hyundai badge? Sample attached. Thanks.[attachment=11724:Genesis1.jpg]

I have the 4.6 Tech and was wondering of any others have had any experience with their 4.6 in the snow? Also, the 4.6 has limited slip and the 3.8 does not. Anyone have any experience with one vs. the other in the snow?

Thanks,

Mark

I am wondering if the rear differential is limited slip on the Genesis. Anyone know?

Do you see where I'm going here ?

I will not own another Hyundai >.<

OK, so here goes... I am a young lawyer who ownes his own firm in a realtively small town in Newfoundland, Canada. Long story short, I really needed a good company vehicle to offset the expense of using my own vehicle for about 400kms a week...

Now, I looked at the Mercedes C and E, Cadillac CTS, Lincoln MKZ, etc., but they all seemed either SUPER pricey, or somewhat underpowered... (When I drop 50K + on a car, I WANT 300+ HP and a V8!) They also seemed to have one inherent problem as well... They all gave off the allure or image of "this guy is filthy freaking rich..." Now, I can see how some lawyers, doctors, professionals, etc. might want to give off that sense of success, but hey, I am in a small town where I know about 60% of the population... I offer reasonable services at reasonable prices and while I do make good money doing this, in no way am I out to give off the image of being a "rich showoff."

That being said, I really do appreciate a strong V8 engine, comfortable ride and lots of Technical Goodies. (I do well for myself, so why not spoil myself a little... )

The Hyundai Genesis meets all my needs... It is powerful, roomy, very poosh, high tech and sophisticated, yet it doesn't have the "get out of my way little man," attitude of the other cars... I can drive in a high end Hyundai without seeming too "snobish." Yet at the same time, I get all the perks of the high-end car makers, at about 20K less. (Personally, I am not interested in spending 20K more on an E class just because of its name...)

Anyway, that just sums up my feelings on the 2009 Genesis...

My 2009 Genesis 4.6 with the Tech Package will be delivered next month...

I remember earlier this year I saw a Genesis in the show room with nice 18"wheels. They had cut outs and had 7 spokes. Im seriously thinking of getting one but when I went looking all the ones I saw had these hidious 18" wheels on them. What happened to the nice 18' wheels??? Those new wheels are a deal breaker for me.

Here are the ones I originally saw


These are the hidious wheels that are all I see now

Hey group,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been a Genesis owner for 2 two days now and all I can say is I LOVE MY NEW CAR!

I rolling in a black on black 4.6 with the tech package. It is an undeniably sweet ride. But it's also not my first Hyundai. I have previously owned a '88 Excel sedan and a '93 Excel hatchback. After months of mechanical problems, both ended up dying horrible, smoking, sputtering deaths.

So needless to say it took some soul searching when I found myself considering the purchase of yet another Hyundai. I did my research, took a test drive and finally pulled the trigger yesterday. I could not be happier. It rides like a dream with power to spare. It looks amazing, inside and out. There are more tech features then I've seen on any other car. It has a seat COOLER! No burned bum on the leather seats come summer time!

So, I'm looking forward to sharing the in's and out's of our new babies with you all. I'll just wrap this up with a, "Way to go Hyundai!".

Hi,

I'm looking at a used (old DEMO for which the dealer says he took title to make quota) 2009 3.8 V6 premium plus. Car has 8000 miles and seems to be in good shape. Dealer says it listed for 36K new invoice he shared was 33K. Is there any info on what the used market is like? I was thinking depreciation should bring the car to around 27K.

Thanks,

Dave

Our Genesis has a very "high pitched sound" which only I and a few others have heard. It's a high pitched sound, like something only a dog can hear or someone who can hear very high tones. I'm the lucky one. It's very annoying and it spoils the
car ride. Anyone else had this problem?

At least two of the dealers employee's have heard it, but no one know's where it's coming from or how to fix it.
One of the Genesis trained mechanics heard it and our salesman heard it. But no one seems to be able to find
where it's coming from or how to fix it. Kind of hard when they can't hear it.

We have been having this problem ever since it was new. It comes on and stays on anywhere from 30 sec to
1.5 minutes. Seems to come from the passengers side. We have tried to figure out if it's any of the accessories in the car,
but one time the sound went off when the engine was off.

We like the car but this noise makes it impossible to drive in. So, we have started the Lemon Law process in hopes
they can either fix it or give us a new car so we can start over.

I'll never buy a car in it's first year on the road again. We did this back when the Buick Riviera Diesel came out.
What a nightmare. And we said just before we said Yes to the Genesis, should we be taking a chance again ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Good job, Hyundai.  First time this has ever happened!  

"This Sunday, Hyundai will debut five new 30-second spots before and during the Super Bowl featuring the Genesis Sedan, Genesis Coupe and the sultry sounds of Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin from Smashing Pumpkins. We've already mentioned the Rhys Millen ad dubbed "The Epic Lap," but the four other spots, have remained a mystery... until now."
