The only change Hyundai USA has confirmed so far is the expansion of HD radio, in that the navigation system would no longer be required to get HD radio. On that note, other Hyundai models will receive HD radio in the near future. |

Replying to: colegar (Jan 28, 2009 2:31 pm) One slight correction to my statement that the culprit causing the persistent battery drain problem was "a defective switch" under the hood. I had my car in for a routine service yesterday and the service manager told me that the switch was not defective but rather had slipped out of place. That caused it not to be depressed when the hood was closed. All they had to do was to adjust the switch to its correct angle. |

For $40k, Hyundai chose some lousy, unsupportive seats.

Has anyone else found the ride of the Genesis to be quite bumpy? I find the car to be an odd combination of a smooth and bumpy ride. Smooth on a perfect surface, and very bumpy on an imperfect surface. I feel like I'm experiencing airplane turbulence when I drive around in my Genesis and contantly get bumped out of my seat.

Replying to: Californiadan (Feb 10, 2009 2:37 pm) Yes - for all it's greatness, the Genesis suffers from some suspension issues that are very well documented and discussed over at the Hyundai Genesis Owners Forum (I strongly suggest any owner to monitor that site). I was just driving to my daughter's gym class and lamenting how bumpy the ride was. It greatly detracts from what should and could be a fantastic driving experience. Don't get me wrong, everything about this car screams excellence, but I hate the fact that my stomach gets jarred on non-perfect roads. There has been talk of some type of recall or retrofit on the horizon, but that is more hope than fact. |

Replying to: Californiadan (Feb 10, 2009 2:37 pm) After owning the car <2 weeks, we took a 1300 mile trip to S. CA which got us on some major roads w/bumps & potholes & made us realize the harsh ride problem. The rough ride home back to the Bay Area on I-5 w/its many potholes, caused my sciatica to become a problem for the 1st time in many yrs. After searching the internet for solutions (sans luck), I took it to my 30+ yr tire dealer & asked what he might be able to do. He said he could put on his softest tire, & drop the tire pressure a few PSI, & said I probably wouldn't be able to discern any difference. The dealer, nor their regional service tech or sales mgr were aware of any fixes. To avoid further problems w/my sciatica, we took the car to the dealer to sell on consignment. It's been a huge disappointment to us because I've been following this car since it was 1st announced, & we were anxious to get 1 when it arrived. It is such a great car in about every respect. I've read that when the Genesis was introduced in Korea, it had adjustable air suspension (air bags which you could change pressure), but they wanted a different suspension for the American mkt. My current car is a 1998 740i which is great for our many trips to S. CA to see family & friends, & I was hoping to replace it w/the Genesis.

Replying to: william77 (Feb 10, 2009 6:18 pm) Check also Madison Ross Media sight with a separate thread on suspension complaints.So far Hyundai has chosen to ignore. Shame on them, when the Genesis bounces out of control and kills people, they will make a recall. In my opinion, they are the worst auto maker re:service and customer relations in the entire market......and I've told them ! |

Replying to: stanco (Feb 11, 2009 5:00 am) A suspension that is firmer or bumpier than someone prefers is one thing. Talking about a car "bouncing out of control and killing people" is something else. I've driven the Genesis. I've read many professional reviews of the Genesis. Is the ride firm? Yes, that seems to be a consensus opinion. Is it anywhere close to bouncing out of control and killing people? No. |
