Genesis Coupe Common problems

NICK nice video I subbed and liked , just because you respond to almost everyone lol , anyways I'd like your opinion, someone is selling me the track 3.8 2012 for 4500 with. 125k miles ..but I have a 2006 Eclipse Gt 3.8 with 231k miles who I beat like There's no tomorrow NO LIE ,ill be doing 110 of highway daily lol serious and it doesn't give me any issues ever apart from regular maintenance like oil and and tire balance so im really spoiled, would you say the genesis is as reliable as the Mitsubishi motor ?

[@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.

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@LukasHWBro]

just found a crazy deal, 70k mileage, 2016, 3.8, and completely stock, no water leaking reports, amazing. Getting it this weekend for 13.5k.

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

[@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

I bought my 2015 gen 3.8 new. some notable problems I've had are water in the trunk, gear shift rattle, and my A/C compressor went out at like 55K miles. oh and my LSD had to be replaced due to a weird noise it was making when making turns slowly.

That ticking noise isn't your timing chain it's your Gdi injectiors, they all do that. Timing chain rattle doesn't sound like that

[@timboob92]

Literally this.

[@darrelp8345]

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

[@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.

[@RspecNick]

Agree for sure they are pretty solid if your treat them right and don't bounce off the rev limiter.

[@brandydejesus1675]

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

[@tampabumblebee2302]

Mine was ticking since I bought it new in 2013. The dealer told me it was the lifter. She just hit 57,000 miles. No issues with leaks. I do have a sunroof.

[@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

[@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.

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.

Mine has a lot of dead sensors and it only has 113k miles, I have the 3.8 and the oxygen sensor needs replaced already and so does the oil switch that is only assessable thru removing the oil tank.

The oxygen sensors arent too bad that's a hit or miss thing with alot of cars I use to have a old toyota ran 87 all the time and when I ran 93 in it would burn out bank 1 upstream o2 sensors all the time.

[@tattsbykass1320]

@@RspecNick the engine is heating up really fast and the tires are wearing off fast but it’s lowered so I’m not sure if it’s gonna the control arms

[@MJT-DA]

@@tattsbykass1320 check you camber. It's not the cars fault also for the overheating I would check you coolant line to make sure the coolant is even reaching the engine. A good way to test this is turn your car on from cold and it should only take 5 minutes or less for the heat to come on in the cabin. Your water pump might be bad.

[@GoatHHF]

@@tattsbykass1320 yeah bro either oil or coolant leak pressure test it I just blew the stock turbo it’s leaking a shit ton of oil

[@GerbsInDaBuilding]

What wheels are those?

[@RspecNick]

Esr sr01s

[@srg_jarongaming671]

Yo so im thinking abt getting one. But i really would like to get more info on them anything you can help me with?

[@RspecNick]

Which one are you looking at? 3.8 or 2.0

[@mikero9894]

The water problem is so stupid complete waste of time Just say make sure to put a cover or tarp over your car which is taking extra good care of your car anyways. All this was so petty and unnecessary I'm looking reasons to buy or not buy the car based on Mechanical, Engine, or Car leaks not rain water. Not real problems all easy fixes but Good content and quality of video.

[@RspecNick]

A garage would be nice but high majority of these cars arent covered or garage kept.

[@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!

[@RspecNick]

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.

[@Steven_Bo1]

I completely agree. Lower control arms, water, and also windows are shit when it comes to linking or power window problems

[@SaltyTortillas]

your third problem is literally just a lack of maintenance, you'll never get steering wheel wobble if you mount wheels properly and have your allignment checked and adjusted like you should with any car

[@HandMadeRoyalty]

Redline synchromesh gear oil or atf??

[@RspecNick]

[@AlexCastillo-hw1wz]

Can anyone tell me where I can get that black rubber weather trim/molding that’s on the roof then goes to the side of the front windshield and then this little piece it connects to right in the bottom corner for the right side of the car please

[@RspecNick]

Albert Hwang on facebook or the dealer for the windshield moldings

[@adriancawaing622]

Albert Hwang is a very reputable seller. He also sells the parts a bit cheaper compared to the dealer.

I got vibration BAD going 75 plus even after an alignment and I’m afraid it’s a driveshaft

[@RspecNick]

Are the wheels balanced?

[@iversonjcameron]

You should be able to feel it....but its not hard to fix just get a new one or off ebay... easy repair

[@Davidxdlol]

How do you fix the steering wheel vibration ???

[@RspecNick]

Balanced wheels,alignment fixed it for me. Other guys have had to replace certain steering components tho.

[@foxgrove60]

Seems gdi engine get the loud tick the trunk I would still a hole on bottom of trunk so I have gen 13 2.o there quiet I also have 12 veloster gdi and ticking motor injectors high pressure

[@typicaltilly2535]

This might be my first fun car I get in an automatic. I've seen so much about the bad manual transmissions but so much good about the auto. Good video though.

[@RspecNick]

Yea the autos arent to bad worse thing about them is the shift solenoids start going out and cant handle high power. But if you just left the car stock or did full bolt ons the car would be fine.

[@typicaltilly2535]

@@RspecNick ty for the info

[@RspecNick]

@@typicaltilly2535 No problem. Honestly as much hate as autos get they have come a long way. And ontop of that there is very very few who can outshift a computer.

[@Potheadahh]

The auto is a ton of fun for it not being a manual. Has a manual mode plus the car will have you going a 100 plus by accident and you won’t even feel like your going that fast for the weight it has. And if you don’t care so much about the longevity of your engine it’s really easy to break the traction and keep a drift and shit even with it being auto

Whered you get the digital gages??

[@RspecNick]

Evo Prosport gauges. You can buy them from Prosport

[@C3Roach]

So I have the genesis coupe 3.8 as well and I also have that ticking noise. Does it get louder for you when you accelerate?

[@RspecNick]

Slightly but alot of my noises are the hpfp (high pressure fuel pump) at idle it's a mix of the pump,timing chain and clutch chatter now that I have the stage 2 comp clutch

[@moonstergamer4]

Do the auto transmissions have a little whine?

[@RspecNick]

Not that I've heard of

[@icam3]

WHAT IS THIS BODY KIT AND WHERE CAN I GET IT?? And will it go on my 2.0t 2013?

[@ianaddington3990]

when i drive i hear interior creaks. anyone know the reason behind it?

[@RspecNick]

Like up front? Behind the fenders there's actually a weld that likes to break and causes a crack/squeak sound

[@ianaddington3990]

@@RspecNick yes it’s up front on passengers side mainly. sounds like it’s near front of door

[@RspecNick]

@@ianaddington3990 more then likely it's that weld behind the fender it's common and there's not really a solid fix for it. Some have had it re tack welded but it usually breaks again.

[@typhon_wolf9687]

U say the tic isnt bad yet in my 2.0 the ticking gets worse when accelerating making me believe its lifter tick which is so much pain to my ears

[@aamirkhawaja9206]

I'm looking at a 137k miles 2010 3.8 for about 3800$. It's gonna be my first potential car and I'm so nervous cuz of the mileage and facing reliability issues as a first time car 😅😅😅

[@RspecNick]

It honestly depends on how the car was treated and serviced. If that's 137k miles of beat miles I would steer clear of that honestly. If it was serviced good I'd get it. Just keep in mind 137k miles on a rwd car that was more then likely beat on alot something will break during you owning it.

[@MJT-DA]

These G4KF motors are only good for about 200,000kms and the G6DA or G6DK are good for just above 250,000kms I would also steer clear i like these cars but I'll admit that their 4 cylinder is not Toyota reliable when pushed hard. However you can always swap out the motor for cheap.

[@ceestar9852]

Why do people drop them. It’s kinda stupid.

[@tilenvidmar9074]

A had a pool in tiburon also where the spare tire is, i just drill holes in the trunk

[@RspecNick]

I ended up using a towel to dry mine out and pulled the trunk apart and let the sun dry it out. The new seals dont have any issues now.

[@masonmacdonald7833]

Second gear lock out fixed with redline for me

[@RspecNick]

I used redline MT90 and the Megan racing transmission mount kit with poly shifter bushings and it definitely made the shifting alot better.

[@kiritokyra1674]

Bro that tick has me up the wall but thank you for explaining cus i thought it was the lifters for the longest time

[@gabeludwick3174]

Its probably leaking around gas cap it runs down gas inlet to tank to back floor drivers side

[@josholdon6727]

Bought one last week and watching these videos makes me want to sell mine before it turns to shit

[@RspecNick]

Honestly they aren't terrible. I've had mine now for alittle over 4 years only issue I ran into was blowing it up because I bounced off the rev limiter doing a long burn out.

[@CarsNationGR]

where did you buy the carpet in the trunk?

I am writing to you from spain

[@cademaulden7798]

someone tell me if I should get a 2010 automatic for first car if I don’t wanna do a bunch of maintenance

[@RspecNick]

Depends on how the car was taken car of. Its its higher miles and was beat I'd stay away cause your gonna probably end up with issues and make you resent the genesis.

[@abbylubbinJB]

Mine wont accelerate past 20mph, but if i turn it off then on it'll work fine, until i get to 40mph. Any ideas what it might be ? :/

[@RspecNick]

Almost sounds like its in limp mode

[@alessandrobonazinga4184]

Any one have any issues with the rev hold when you’re coming to a stop and you push in the clutch?

[@RspecNick]

That happens to a decent amount of the gen coupes. Somtimes its just a dirty throttle body other times it's the ECU. A tune gets rid of it most times somtimes cleaning the throttle body helps as well.

How many years could this car last? Looking to buy one with 73k miles

[@RspecNick]

With good maintenance a long time. Biggest thing is if you know your going out and your going to beat the car make sure it's full on oil and dont drag out the top end cause it will starve the bottom end of oil and lead to rod knock. I got mine at 50k and I'm at 76k now and I drive the car hard. No issues for me minus the 5th to 6th grind on pulls.
