I do not feel any (warm) air coming out of the small B-pillar vents in the rear seat. Is there something I must activate to get an air flow?

I think that the air for those travels though the front doors, so those have to be closed when you are checking for it. Otherwise, there possibly is some climate control setting from the entertainment screen that turns those on and off.

Like Joe said, the air goes through the front doors. There is also there's a switch to open/close the vents like in this photo below, as well as rear seat HVAC controls in the center arm rest if you have the Ultimate model.

2018 G90 has a recall on the coolant tube feeding the transmission. One of the symptoms of coolant loss is the lack of cabin heating. Not enough coolant goes through the heater core to heat the cabin. Check your coolant level if you haven't had the recall done.

Anyone have any ideas as to why I can not get the remote start to work using my key fob? Remote start does work with the App using climate feature.

Car is locked. Standing near by-5ft. When pressing and holding the remote start button, key fob flashes once and then nothing happens.

Brand new car. 200 miles😩

Did you try the other Fob that came with the car?

Yes. Both fob’s do not work…..
Jhon
Probably not your issue, but in case you did not know, as you can see from speeders message, you must push the lock button on the key fob first ....and then within a few seconds, push and hold the start button. You must push the lock button even if our car is already locked.
Again, I am not trying to offend you with something you probably already know, but you did not mention pushing the lock button first before pushing the start button in your message and sometimes we miss the littlest things.
I hope you get it worked out.

I’m betting this is @Armeca59 ’s problem. The two step sequence is critical.

I just bought a 2019 genesis g70 3.3t in august and wanted to add a few things to it now that it's starting to get nice outside. Does anyone know what mods you can do without voiding your warranty? I would assume you wouldn't be able to mess with any main engine components, but would I be able to put an exhaust on without the warranty being voided?

If you want to be safe, I'd call a dealer and speak to their service manager about Genesis/Hyundai's stated position on mod's. I don't know if it's written in any of the documentation we get. I would also ask about any specific mod's you had in mind and if the dealer has any discretion.
I come from an Audi background. Audi had clear guidance for dealers with wide ranging restrictions on mods. They were required to add a flag to the VIN if any restricted mods were found and this "TD1 flag" would stay with the car. Lot's of guy's had warranty work excluded. Some dealers however were mod friendly and would make certain exceptions.
The idea that an intake or exhaust mod might not be related to a particular engine issue would make no difference...warranty denied. Given the potential for expensive warranty work to be denied, I would not just rely on a few forum comments.

I am purchasing from CarMax and I know their MaxCare warranty typically covers mods which came with the car so they would have to prove I did the mods I assume?

My 340i had a modified front end which wasn’t installed correctly and killed both headlights from moisture getting into the light casings and they covered it no questions asked.

Didn’t even charge me the deductible.

As with any insurance or warranty, you need to read the fine print rather than assume. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is the actual wording in your coverage.

good point I'll definitely give them a call before I make any purchases.

Hi all, I'm experiencing the issue with my G70 that is systemic across their fleet models 2015-2024 (at least) of the ultrasonic weld and/or mounting screws on the headlights causing a major water leak. I'm about to take my car into the dealer and currently had made the following mods to the vehicle: Afe Twin Takeda cold air intakes, JB4, 2 step colder plugs, BMS oil catch can, TIAL BOV (Blow Off Valve), under-glow, and a Skar sound system. I am also concerned about the 'mods' being a point that the dealership attempts to dismiss the claim. I have pictures of the water leak, pictures of cracks from the mounting screws being factory over-torqued, a video of the front-end being perfectly aligned with the rest of the bottom, plenty of clearance (zero contact) between the headlight assembly and modded parts, the actual TSB (Tech Service Bulletin) covering the issue, diagnosis, and when warranty covers it. I'm prepared to argue and fight the good fight, but I'm hoping I don't have too. I have scoured online forums, like this, and noticed it's a mixed bag as far as if you get it or if you have to fight (even with modding). Does anyone have any advice they could throw my way?

Remove the mods except the plugs and oil catch can
Hi all, I have a 2019 G70 with 34000 miles on the odometer. The car has suspension creaking and the dealer is saying it needs lateral arms replaced and 2 shocks! Unbelievable! How can a car with so few miles be so deteriorated? I have a Honda Odyssey with 200K and the suspension is still OK. Anyway, anyone else have these problems and have you been able to get any sort of Genesis help to resolve the issue?

Ordered 2 1/2 weeks ago. Got a tracking number 10 days ago. Finally arrived today. After the delays and shipping, and back-and-forth on whether it was completed or not, I finally got my product. Installed as easy as the video shows. Took me about 35 minutes in the Texas heat. Works like a charm.

I would think it should... all the system innards are the same.

Hello GenesisOwners!

I came into my Genesis last August with 100K miles on her and she's a blast. As with all my vehicles I try and get a hold of the service manual so I can work on them with a semblance of knowing what I'm doing. Combing through these forums I found some dead links for the 2009/2010 service manual. I was wondering if anyone had been lucky enough to grab a copy of it while it was available and could send me/post the manual again? I looked through the 2009 manual that OneFunGenesis posted to his dropbox but I fear that the differences between the 2009 and 2010 are too much. I'm specifically trying to do some electrical work. Much appreciated fellers

Hi. I'm usually on Genesis Owners about my 2019 G90, but today I need some help troubleshooting my son's 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8. The local Hyundai dealer refuses to work on it despite it being a Hyundai (they don't have the Genesis dealership) and previously selling them, as they say they've had "bad luck working on them". Same for the dealer an hour South. The dealer at which I bought my G90 has the worst customer service of ANY business I've ever done business with, despite going through a new service manager every year. I cannot get a return call (of someone on the phone) while they have my car last time for 8 of the 12 weeks they had it, and in the end, they still didn't get the trunk issue I've had since purchase fixed. So, they're not an option. The next closest is Cool Springs in South Nashville, 3.5 hours away, but just drove by them today and it looks like the shop is in a complete demolition/rebuild.

My son has tried to troubleshoot this himself by purchasing a code reader and even dropped it for a few weeks at the local import car maintenance shop, and got a call that they could not reproduce the complete lack of power steering that happens unpredictably.

He is thinking of purchasing a used electric power steering rack (he says this is the first year or two the Genesis had electric steering rather than hydraulic) and just getting the local import dealer to replace it for him.

Is intermittent failure of the electric power steering a known issue with these vehicles? If so, what are the potential causes? He has looked at the service manual documents but doesn't want to tackle it himself. He thinks it may be a network/communications problem since the steering motor works fine when it is working.

The error codes he's getting haven't been helpful.

Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Regards,

Justin

My first stab at it would be to disconnect the electrical connections related to the unit and inspect for corrosion. Clean them up with some de-ox spray and maybe put a little dielectric grease on the seals on the connectors and then re-mate them. See if that makes any difference with the issue. Are the under-covers still installed? I've heard of problems developing with the steering when the undercover is left off.

Just got a call and email with video showing issues. The video shows the voltage measured at the electrical connections to be as expected in the service manual. They are quoting him $8,000 to replace the "MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING MODULE". The car is only worth $9000 sold to an individual in great condition, and much less if traded in. It doesn't make sense to replace the steering module at this price.

My son looked the part up online and can get one for $1000, but none of the independent shops in my area are willing to work on the car. In fact, the local Hyundai dealers in my hometown of Tupelo, MS and an hour away in Columbus, MS refused to work on the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, even though it is a Hyundai! The dealer that it is with now is two hours away.

Does anyone know of any independent shops in Memphis, TN or Birmingham, AL that would tackle replacing the power steering module?

Or, is there a part of the steering module that can be replaced or overhauled, such as a bad electric motor, without replacing the entire assembly?
jcgraff
My son has decided to purchase a used electric power steering module ($500) and attempt to install it himself. This part cannot be purchased new from Hyundai, only as a complete electric steering rack with motor and control module. The Hyundai tech told him that the voltages measured at the module were within spec, which makes failure of the control module most likely.
joegr
I wonder if any programming will be required to make the replacement module work correctly?

I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’m having a problem putting my floor mats back into my 2025 G70. I removed them easily enough by pulling them down from the top but cannot seem to snap them back in. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Had the AC running yesterday and halfway home the temp gauge started climbing.
I turned the AC off and the gauge went down to just above normal.
Popped the hood at home and fan was running and no hissing leaking sounds

Not enough information
How far did the gauge move? Was it near overheating or just a bit above?
With temperature on the road 95+ and heavy solar load, the AC is working hard and moving that heat to the radiator that cools the engine. Not unusual for it to be hotter.

If it was extreme and near overheating, I'd check the cooling system. Has it ever been flushed and coolant changed?
