Do NOT BUY a Used Genesis, Without Watching this (I warned you...)(Owner for 8 years)

I have a 2015 Genesis 3.8 just like this one. I bought it brand new. Today, it has 247k miles on it. Engine is original with all original parts. My sunroof also rattles in cold weather but I don’t care. It has served me very well! My target is to get to 300k miles and then get something new!

[@HyperBRUIN]

Lucky you. I purchased a 32,000 mile pre-owned Hyundai Genesis (2015) and had the fuel door replaced, the oil pan leak replaced, the left rear door handle break off, the wires in the trunk be repaired (TSB), and lastly, transmission failure at 105,000 miles. In total, I spent over $8,000 in repairs...garbage company (Hyundai)...traded up to a Lexus.

[@billkallas1762]

I have a 2013 Genesis that I bought new. In the 10 years that I have owned it, I have had ZERO issues and Zero repair costs. I've done all of the general maintenance, myself, except for oil changes, because when I bought the car, I received a coupon book for $8.95 oil changes. (The oil filter alone must cost that much) Every time I go to the dealer, they try to sell me things that I've already done......They must hate my guts.

[@coreysmith5141]

I have a 2013 Genesis Sedan 3.8 with 200,000 miles. I had only 2 minor issues with the vehicle since I purchased it used at 37,000 miles. It's really the most reliable vehicle I have owned to date.

[@kj232009]

Kleantrix i posted a comment a few days ago about the alignment giving me problems. I had the car aligned at 4 different shops and each shop said it was good but tried to adjust the alignment according to the pull i was experiencing. Upon doing some online research the past 2 weeks i came across a forum post about loose lug nut torque because the Genesis is a heavy car. I Purchased a 1/2 torque wrench and set it to 95 ft lbs torque. After i torque each wheel in a star pattern i take the car for a drive. To my astonishment the car drove perfect, steering felt precise, no more wandering and the car felt quicker for some reason. Called my mechanic because i still couldnt believe it. He said under torqued wheels can cause pull, vibration, and wander especially with 4,700 pound car like the Genesis. Hope i can help someone else within the Genesis family👍 oh also i had brake shudder before i torque the lug nuts, even that is gone now.

[@KLEANTRIX]

OMG! This is the best comment this year! Thank you I will look into this and test it out! If it works, I will make a video about it and give you credit.

If anyone reads this, I also have a 2015 Like his, but I do not have all the bells and whistles.. And I have not had to take it to get fixed that much. would do the regular checkups (way too pricey) and 1 major fix that was under warranty. I would get an extended warranty, right now I have this silly oil light that could be a sensor, and the car keeps thinking the back window is open, i can live with that. ITs a car good this, but like he and I say, dont get the one with sunroof! And if you do just get the extended warranty. Right now also my paint is bad on my bumpers. I can live with that. But its an 8 year old car with 106k miles and I love it.

[@KLEANTRIX]

Great input! The oil light thing is a sensor and super dumb.....

[@MikeCormack-c2m]

You can't not get it with a sunroof. I have a 2016 Equus signature. More bells and whistles than I can possibly use, but I love it. Got the 5.0 in it and other than 2 minor problems with it when I bought it, it's been very reliable. 64000 miles and I expect to get twice that with it. 😊

Bought a used 2018 g90. Best car ive ever had. Only thing you need to be mindful of is the 3.3 produce more carbon then usual so a fuel induction service every other oil change and the transmission fluid says to be changed after 90k miles, do 45 or every 30k. That long lasting transmission fluid is b.s. This is stuff ive found researching the engine an transmission reliability.

[@Jumpsuit56]

Your right In getting that extended warranty!!!! I got a 10 year extended bumper to bumper warranty and in my 2012 Equus it paid off because they paid for my transmission at 3000k the my air suspension twice at 55,000 k and then the engine at 58,000k which reset the drive train for another 50000 miles. Still have my car at 99500 miles Equus Ultimate 429 hp 5.0 tau. I got it dyno at 182 mph by the way.

[@turnne]

Wow... a lot of warranty claims on that one I purchased a used 3 year old Hyundai Equus in 2015 and still own it today. It was in the new car warranty when I purchased it and they did the front air struts, a new Nav head unit and some work on the sunroof right at the time I bought it. I bought the factory warranty " wrap" which basically gave me 5 more years and 100K total of factory warranty. The car never broke again and thus I never got to use the extended warranty I purchased. I did have to do a wheel bearing ($900) at the dealer about 6 months ago At this point I am probably going to buy a 2-3 year old Genesis G90 as the next one

[@JohnnyMontalban-z3k]

I bought a used 2019 fully-loaded certified Genesis G80. It was an excellent car until I heard a wind noise from the driver’s side window. I took it twice to the Genesis dealership for repair under warranty. After two fixes, it still made the annoying wind noise when driving over 55 mph. Then I had two warranty repairs for the electrical system and got a third recall notice for another electrical issue that my G80 could catch on fire 🔥 while stopped or parked. The recall notice said not to park my G80 in the garage, near structures or other vehicles. I was told it would take two months to get the part to fix my G80. After three recalls and the inability of Genesis techs to fix my G80, I decided it was time to sell it. I sold it to a Genesis dealership and bought myself a Lexus GX 460. I still like the Genesis G80 sedan, and it's excellent, especially when driving on California freeways.

[@jimquantic]

Well spelled out and thank you. I knew where you were going when, on the plus side, you talked about the great warranty AND the need for a great warranty. Obviously, this Korean maker is not Honda company; I always say that what trumps a great warranty is a car that does not need a warranty--as little, if anything goes wrong. BUT, I do wonder if the newer Genesis' are coming up to the mark?

[@deanag8457]

@@wagyu_killer Our Genny is a 2012 with 167000 on it. Ac compressor went at 135000 and the brake lines corroded at 137000 but Hyundai picked up the tab even though it was out of warranty. Check that recall for the brake fluid because when they go, you have no brakes. Luckily it happened in our driveway but it could have been catastrophic on the road.

[@dawkrb]

@@maxxbenzz7842 yes, a lot of people assume they get the remainder of the warranty when they buy a used Hyundai but it doesn’t transfer unless it’s certified. Otherwise it’s treated as if it was a 5 year 60k original warranty.

Love my 2018 Ultimate but ever since I had my differential replaced the wheel alignment has been out of wack. Sadly most shops don't do the alignment correctly or half ass.
