I am driving a 2010 Genesis sedan and really enjoying it. However, it has a problem with the steering wheel positioning mechanism. It went back to the dealer today and I was told that the limit switch was defective and that the part is on back-order and it would be a month.

That's not a good mark for Hyundai. If the steering wheel is stuck in a dangerous position (does not clear your legs or you cannot see the instrument display) that's a looooong wait! Also, with more than one driver it can be a serious issue. I tried to "muscle" the position of the steering wheel but it won't budge.

Still loving the car, but this is a head-scratcher. Is Hyundai working too hard on the next level up (ALA THE EQUUS) before sorting out the Genesis?

The part came in much sooner than promised and they fixed it (took about 1 hr.) and it is working like new. I am now encouraged that Hyundai is serious about customer satisfaction. My dealer has scheduled a GPS map update (at no charge) for next week. Right now, I am back on track with my recent purchase and feel that I made a good decision. I really do like driving it. It handles and responds like a luxury sports car and is soooo quiet!

I did try a 2010 genesis in Bathurst NB, and it had the same steering problem...

May be the steering position is in connection with the memory seat set by the previous drivers ??
