Genesis Coupe Common problems

Hey guys in this video I am explaining the most coming issues that the Genesis coupe has. Most of the problems are easily fixed with aftermarket parts. If your looking into jumping into a genesis coupe hopefully this helps you out.

[@jonmckay5549]

If you are getting vibrations in your steering wheel it is probably 1 of 3 things 1. You hit a chug hole, and your wheel is Fubared 2. Your tires are cupped from worn out suspension parts/ not rotating tires 3. While braking.... your rotors are warped. An alignment can only fix the alignment of the wheel assembly. It DOES NOT solve your CURRENT vibration problems. Most decent alignment techs will check your suspension parts before resetting an alignment on your vehicle. A decent tire tech will spin your tires on a balancer to show you if you need a new wheel or just tires. Genesis has low pro tires like most coups. So the tires don’t absorb as much energy before warping the wheel when hitting an obstacle. Great video, very informative on the main issues with this car, thank you!

[@arthurmroyce]

I have a 2011 Genesis Coupe with 132k miles on it. It has been the most trouble-free car that I have ever owned. Earlier in the year I did replace the down pipe because the flex joint finally broke. The same thing happened on my Stealth at around the same mileage. I bought a Veloster N this summer and kept my Gen Coupe because I like it so much. I intend to run my coupe until it blows-up.

[@RspecNick]

Sounds like you got one of the good ones for sure. Usually they last as long as you keep up on the maintenance and moderate how much you beat on it of course.

[@nataliejolly8084]

I have a 2011 also. It’s fantastic, with over 172K. My only issues have been taillight leak and occasionally the anti theft keeps it from starting. There’s a reset button under the hood and then you are g2g.

Yeah the timing chain ticking threw me off owned a few sports cars with a v6 never once heard it till i bought my 2010 3.8 GT genesis 😂 literally lost so much sleep over it then the timing went and everything was replaced still makes this sound so figured it had to be normal.

[@RspecNick]

@@tonyb3524 yes like my ticking in the video is normal but once the engine gets alittle older you will start to hear it. My stage 2 clutch tho might overpower the sound honestly

[@cookiesandcreamluvar]

When he said “welcome to the pool party” I felt that. I clicked this video to see if it was common for my genesis to leak water smh

[@RspecNick]

Between the taillights,rear quarter windows,sunroof drains water likes to seep in wherever possible

[@dinonuggets21]

I have a 2014 Genesis Coupe 3.8 and I have never had any of the problems you stated, no water leaks, no transmission rattle or grind, no tyre vibration but there is excessive camber, yes the injectors for the GDI do have a ticking sound because of the high operating pressure. Also, I drive my car hard, and it is a great car.

[@RspecNick]

That's good tho. A bunch of the genesis guys in the facebook groups were just talking about the water leaks. I'm not sure why it's so common it's always brought up atleast once a month from new genesis owners.

[@vg4472]

I have the 2014 3.8 Ultimate as well with 67k miles. My tail lights were changed so there is water leakage through the gasket I just covered it with flex tape & the car sits in the garage anyway. Mine is not a daily driver (drive it once a week) so I don't have the engine noises or rattles that others report. My only issue is the touch screen is hard to function but that's just a minor inconvenience.

[@BryanMc17]

I live in CA so luckily I don’t have to deal with the water/condensation issues. But I do notice after washing my car that sometimes I get water around the outsides of my headlights. I have to blow it out with air.

[@RspecNick]

Is one of the headlight vent tubes clogged or fallen off. I had a spider nest in 2 of my vent tubes. I wanna say there is 4 vents per light.

[@MustbeBrandyD]

That ticking/loose sound is so true. I literally took my car in to get checked because of it and it just sounds like that. Also I just replaced my clutch kit twice in 3 years smh....... Still like the car though

[@_Deesol_]

This may just be your car; I personally have had my 3.8 r spec for over a year, and still never had any of these problems. Thx for the video though, I’ll be looking out for these problems!

@Paweł Miketa how much did you pay for your car?

@Paweł Miketa I'm guessing alot lol

[@Fwoggyz]

The steering wheel shake means you need to replace the wheel hubs / bearings (in these cars). Some guy replaced his and it completely fixed the shake.

[@silvercat018]

yep 5:02 i have the exact same grinding issue going from 5th to 6th, especially if I'm driving over 100 KM/H. The only way I've found it to work without the grind is to literally pause in between the shift. So stop midway through the shift in the neutral zone, and then shift into 6th once the synchros catch up. Works every time now. 2013 Gen coupe, 3.8 GT

[@RspecNick]

Yep or slow shift it once I get my new stage 2 clutch past break in if it still does it I'm pushing for a new trans am at 74k miles now but I have a extended warranty until 88k

Nice man yea that's now a bad deal at all.

[@darrelp8345]

The most of the ticking is coming from the high pressure fuel pump!

[@brandonjohnson3566]

Water getting into cars from sunroofs is 100% always going to happen. Either the drain lines are clogged or the lines fall off the sunroof rack due to the zip ties breaking. Always make sure to use silicone spray or Honda's shin-etsu grease to help keep all weather stripping on cars soft and water resistant. As for the tail lights those are a manufacturer defect as you said. The 3.8l engines from a mechanics stand point suck. Too many flaws. Same with the 2.0 but if you add forged aftermarket internals and on every oil change use motorkote. You will save the timing chain tensioner from breaking. As for the transmission it's always hit or miss with the clutch packs but changing your trans fluid every 30 to 50k miles helps especially if your trying to play fast and furious with a stock trans.

[@kurttappe]

100%? I've had five Hondas with sunroofs and not a single one leaked. One of them ('98 Accord) creaked a bit while cornering, but no leaks.

[@erisgh0sted961]

Yeah it sounds like timing chain slap on the 3.8. Easy fix, nice ride.

[@sedona687]

Thank you for the informative warning video. I had a 3.8 for a long term business rental. In the southeast. Water leaks and trans issues like you. My personal car is a 380Z. Had a 350Z prior to that. Never had a single problem with the Z. Korean cars are not well put together like the Japanese Honda, Toyota, and Nissan cars are.

[@RspecNick]

Very true overall tho I wouldnt get rid of my car I like it too much. I like the body the most i just wish there was more tuning and aftermarket support for the cars

[@bobbyaustralia8509]

Oddly enough, I’m having the mechanical issues he mentioned in my 2020 veloster n. A couple guys in our circle also have these drivetrain problems and it’s been a borderline war with the dealers lol. Anyways, I 1000x regret trading my geni coupe for this lame duck pos. If you haven’t pulled the trigger yet, I encourage you to at least drive one. It’s fun, and like I said, my experience was nowhere near the train wreck of some other cars out there.

[@Cris852963]

I bought a 2014 Genesis Coupe 2.0T Automatic in 2017. Currently at ~87,000 miles. Only 2 owners with me being the second. The ONLY Issues so far have been: - The Driver side window motor burnt out on me twice; regulator only once. All under normal use. - Steering wheel wobbling at 70-80MPH - The starter just imploded on itself out of nowhere. Other than that, it's been more reliable than I could ask for.

[@justinb42]

Lockout comes from challenging the reverse setting.... a normal car with reverse opposite of 5th, you can use the side ad a guide, thats a bad habit you want to gain the muscle memory straight into 2nd. If you slide straight into 2nd, boom, don't miss a beat we're banging gears and showing everyone what these cars can do. But if you make the car think you're messing with that reverse setting it puts you on timeout

[@RspecNick]

Very good info for sure

[@B00stGetsULaid]

I love you bro the 3.8 timing chain tick has had me worried so bad. Changed the oil from 10w40 to 10w30 mobile 1 fsyn and the noise got a little bit louder might go back to the 40 but changed because my oil was running a bit hotter with the 40.

[@RspecNick]

Mine slowly got worse once I hit 102k miles apparently it's a normal thing with the 3.8s. I actually blew the car up (my fault). I'm on the fence now between OEM short block or an actual built motor.

[@timboob92]

Literally this.

[@RaCeRx2285]

Let's see, where do I start with my 2015 3.8 R-Spec lol. The power steering and lsd is very noisy on these cars, but that can't be fixed as far as I know. I had rev hang; which sometimes caused my car to stall out, or it would rev between 1000-2500 rpms while idling. They fixed the rev hang by repairing the clutch switch, so fingers crossed it doesn't come back. I've had transmission issues twice in the last 5 years, but they've never offered to replace it completely, they just replace the clutch and flywheel assembly. The only thing you've listed that I haven't had issues with is the leaking, but I have the SuperLUX V2 tails, and I don't have a sunroof. All in all, this is a fun and sexy car, but it has it's moments (lots of them) lol. Somehow the trusty 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 has 130k miles and only been in the shop for recalls. Sadly I cannot say the same for my Genny, as it has 38k miles, and the stealership service department is it's second home, but I still love her. Sad to think; I almost paid $45k for a 5.0 Stang, but I'm glad I fell in love with the Gen and paid less than $30k. I've had 2 Mustangs in the past, and both were major problems anyways, not to mention dangerous cars 😉😉🤣.

I got a chevy volt the water gets in the rear passenger door and fills up every rain.

[@maxblair3317]

Just to add my two cents after 5 years of ownership: Water - definitely an issue as mentioned here, haven't had it go to the floors yet but the trunk in a little pool sometimes. Transmission - 6spd manual, I'm having a hard time getting into reverse gear when cold (32° and less) and 5th gear is crunching like crazy. Suspension/alignment - LOWER CONTROL ARMS. God damn, today I've installed a new control arm for the 4th time since I bought the vehicle. Now I'm not sure if it's because of the shitty roads here in Alberta or an excessive amount of power slides but man, that's almost once a year!! Luckily they're easy to change. Overall, aside from the problems listed here I've found the car to be extremely reliable and that even after a stage 2 tune. Control arms have been the only somewhat major issues in 5 years. Still love mine!

Same I've only had the trunk water and taillights fog up from it. And some common 6speed issues all in all the car has been great to me. Looking to get the isr adjustable arm kit.

[@RspecNick]

Does it do the same thing with traction and stability control off? I've heard of alot of (delay shifts ) fr the autos. But usually a TCU time clears that out.

[@lostinthecrowd4]

You mentioned the problem with the transmission on manuals but what about any problems on the automatics?

[@RspecNick]

I know in the older bk1s they use to have jerking issues or have issues related to the (sport mode) option where you would jump it in sport or slap shift and it would be jerky and on the actual indicator on the dash it would read D still. Usually just topping off the fluid or an actual fluid change helped alot. Now with the BK2 you get some nasty rev hang and similar issues as the bk1 with the jerky shifting issue. Really a Tune would clean alot of those issues up with rev hang and with the shift points

[@MAGE0327]

Hey nick, I just subscribed and understand if you don’t see this, but if you do I’d really like some help or a clue on 2 problems with my 2013 Hyundai Genesis coupe 3.8 gt. Its my first car and I honestly have so many memories that I want to keep upgrading it in the near future. The first problem had for about 3 months is that my steering and floor is shaking and I feel like I’m driving over gravel even though I’m on the highway. I balanced my tires about 2 months ago, as well as a alignment shortly after. I’ve taken my car to 5+ mechanic shops to get it inspected, and even a Hyundai service dealer told me that there is nothing wrong with the car. I’ll try the hub rings but if they don’t work idk what to do... The second problem is that I feel like the car kicks back every second. Like if a gear is spinning under the car and every gap in the gear creates a kicks that pushes you back. I feel like it might be something in my engine or transmission but all those 5+ mechanics told me there was nothing wrong with the car so i don’t want to risk fixing it in my own and somehow destroy the engine. I don’t have much experience on car mechanic, but I’d like to learn and keep my car performing normal for days to come.

[@RspecNick]

Try the hubs rings for sure but even my car has a little bit of a vibration around 65mph that's with hub rings,balance and alignment. Another thing to check is tire pressure make sure it's even cause one front tire being lower can cause a pulling type effect. The kicking part is hard to kind of decipher tho is it manual if so what are the miles has it had a clutch replacement did the person before you beat the clutch. Sort of sounds like a slip in transition. If its auto it could be pressure switch related or low fluid level. Its alot of diagnosing honestly. Dont worry about the shops I brought my car there just to get a check up even tho I do all my own stuff it's nice for them to give it a good look over for anything I may miss and they heard my clutch chatter from the stage 2 clutch and told me my motor spun a bearing 😑 needless to say I stopped going there.

[@MAGE0327]

@@RspecNick Thank you for responding!! I got my grey automatic genesis coupe from a guy in Florida who previously rear ended the car, so I fixed it and brought it to New York for college and had the best time of my life so far. I admit that as anyone in college I did drove it hard but over all fell in love with its curbs and its quick pulls, and haven’t experience any sort of problem for 5 years (with the exception of changing the tires and a couple scratches. Due to previous life accidents (like literary blowing up 2 laptops due to fiddling too much in the settings) I have always been afraid of getting my hands dirty with the car since most of my knowledge comes from videos and car mechanic simulator, but I would like to learn more and bought a copy of the genesis coupe factory service manual to try and comprehend more how to fix it. Once I become more economically stable I would love to bring it back to Peru and mod it to my hearts content. But, in the meantime I’d like to keep it as factory similar as possible to conserve the previously damaged car. I want to be one of those dads who own a 70’s corvette but with my genesis coupe instead. For the bumpy ride problem, unfortunately the roads here in Long Island tend to not be patch up well and the right front sway link snapped after hitting a pot hole to hard and had to pay 400$ in the dealer for a replacement. The vibration problems began soon after. Like I said before, I did my alignment, bought new tires and balance them, bought some new brake discs from autozone, turned out that the new discs where warped from factory so had to get them changed and I would still feel like the whole car shacked when before I didn’t felt nothing. I took out the muffler when I first got it but felt like it was to loud in Manhattan and had cops watching my every move. So I put a remote exhaust switch but it made the vibrations even worst due to some noise leaking out through the closed short exhaust and had it removed. Also, a friend mechanic who lend me his workshop told me that my front left wheel axle was creating a clicking noise due to a the ring inside being snapped. I don’t know if that could be the problem or not but it’s 500$ the pair and due to the pandemic I have to save for a couple months to fix it. I’ll definitely order the hub rings, any recommended brand? Was thinking that it could be the coil overs at first but after learning more about it, I don’t like to stand my car. I want it looking elegant like a Mercedes but being able to catch up any car. For the kicking part, I definitely have a feeling that there is something wrong with the engine and transmission, for 7 years I’ve had a fun time with the car so it’s gone places it shouldn’t have. From having sand in the radiator to blasting 100mph on the beach and loosing the bottom plastic cover of the front crossmember due to a big bump in the road. I wouldn’t mind putting money and time to put a turbo kit in it or even engine swap it. But I can’t right now due to the pandemic, so I just want the car to run in a normal well state, it has 48k miles in its 7 years (which is weird because I definitely feel like the mileage should be near 100k). I’ll check the pressure switch low fluid level. Some friends told me that I should do a tune up but i don’t know how exactly what that consists off, it could probably solve the kicking but I doubt the suspension would be better. I just want to identify the problems and fix them in an economical way for the mean time. This car has save my life countless of times without getting a single dent (with the exception of letting go of the break and accidentally bopping a white van. After pulling to the side the guy was high as a kit with 2 bags next to him so he just let me go lol) and have so many memories including the spoiler my grandfather got me before passing away. My family keeps telling me just to sell it but if it has put up with me and my crazy stunts for so long than it deserves to be saved. I could just sell it and buy an 2016 r-spec 3.8 in the future but the GT version has a more comfortable stock suspension than all the other models, in comfort it almost felt like driving a new Mercedes before it felt being jerked back while off-roading on a Jeep Wrangler with city wheels in the middle of the best roads I could find. I definitely plan on owning a Lamborghini in the future, but I will always modify my genesis coupe whenever I get the chance. Who knows, maybe someone in the future creates hovering tires like the delorean from back to the future 2 that only works in old cars, I would buy them in the spot lol. But in the meantime I’d like to be proud of owning my small slick genesis coupe, I would have picked a manual, but I had a near death experience when I first learned to drive and the car shot off in the middle of an intersection with a truck just about to ram into my left with the car coming in clutch last second. At first, an 8 speed automatic transmission can be a solid pain, but once I got the hang of sport and paddle shift mode, my car became a quick speed demon when taking off from second gear and has very kick pulls when the car is already moving, I’d like to reduce that 5.5sec 0-60 to 4 or 3 but I’ll have time in the future to make it my favorite daily drivable comfortable method of transportation.

[@RspecNick]

@@MAGE0327 I would honestly have the other steering parts checked to just to be sure they arent bent at all. As for the hub rings I have plastic ones and they work fine for me I got mine from ESR wheels. I understand what you mean tho by wanting to keep the car I'd focus on getting it back in shape new plugs would probably help it a bit it's fairly easy to do as well. Do you ever run a fuel cleaner when you fill up on gas theh can help a bit as well. If you have been hard on it the CV joints could be going bad especially in that amount of time. Another culprit that can cause some issues with handling is wheel bearings but you would usually hear that problem as it gets worse like a humming sound while your moving. Honestly all I can really say about learning about the car is actually just diving in and trying it. Now I'm not saying RIP the transmission out or mess with the internals of the motor cause that's alittle bit more advanced but the more simple portions like new air filter,cabin air filter,oil change, spark plugs,Rear differential oil change and other small odds and ends. Cars although now a days are alot of electronic components such as sensors on sensors. All engines use a vacuum system and it doesnt take much to throw cars off with vacuum leaks.

[@MAGE0327]

@@RspecNick Ok, ordered the hub rings and they should be arriving tomorrow. I’m bringing it to a friends workshop tomorrow and will check the spark plugs, air filter and rear differential oil. I had an oil change early this year. I’ve never run a fuel cleaner, to be honest I didn’t knew radiator cooling fluid existed until a couple years ago, but my car has always had a full tank of cooling fluid since. I understand that the best way to learn from it is to dive in but I don’t have a workshop or the tools to fix them in my own, and since all of the mechanics kept telling me nothing was wrong I just gave up and have been using my car once a week to not risk it but keep the engine running from time to time as well.
