I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not but I couldn't find it. So my wife was driving slowly into the garage when my little one reached from behind and pressed the Start/Stop button - and it Turned Off the engine! I thought the transmission has to be in Park or Neutral for the button to...

This is a Hyundai Genesis Coupe engine build I recently completed. As of right now, there are very few performance parts available for the engine. Although the Hyundai Theta 2.0 engine is very similar to the Mitsubishi 4B11T, the only parts that directly cross over are ARP head studs and head...

Is synthetic oil the recommended oil for the 2012 3.8 6 cylinder? My driving distance is about 800 miles per month so what is the recommended interval for changing oil?? Any comments or suggestions?

I've noticed for some time that when I accelerate up a hill, I would hear a noise in the engine area which sounds like engine knock. I've always used regular fuel. So last time, I switched to higher octane, and went up the same hill under hard acceleration. No more knocking. Has anyone else...

I purchased my car last December (brand new from a Maryland dealer). I've use it mainly to go back and forth to work, and took a couple of long trips, but even with that, I only put in 11k miles this year. A couple of weeks ago, I started the engine in my garage, and noticed a loud and unusual...

I just took delivery of a 2012 sedan. After getting it home, I notice there is a sound to the engine that seems unusual to me. I can't hear it from inside the car. It is heard best from behind and below the driver's front wheel. It's a soft, fast, kind of flutter sound. Like a bicycle with...

I have. 2010 4.6. Car left outside last night. On start this morning the car started on what sounded like only four cylinders. Also produced a foul smell. Shut the car down and restarted it and it started fine but the engine check light is on and remains on even though the engine is at normal...

I have had my 2012 Genesis Sedan 3.8 liter for 6 months now and I am very happy, except for one thing. The Check engine light has come on now 4 times. I have taken it in to the dealership and they first told me it was my fault that I did not put the cap on correctly and then reset the engine...

My Genesis is not even at 6k and I already have a check engine light, just wanted to see if anyone else ran into something like this. It's a 2012 3.8 Prem/Tech. The dealers in my area are a pain so i wanted to get some info before I showed up. Tried powering down the car and back on, got full...

Does anybody know what this is :confused: If you remove the motor cover this is visible. I have no idea what it is or what it’s propose is. Looks like a hot air box to draw hot air off engine during periods before engine comes up to temp. I also changed the filter in the air box and if you put...

Did the engine oil refill capacity change between the 2009-2011 V6 and the 2012 V6?

Hi, first allow myself to introduce....myself?!?! I'm Sal from NYC. I do not own a genesis, I don't even own a Hyundai. What I do own is a 2010 Kia forte koup. Now before you guys start chewing me out, I've come here for some help. Right now my car is boosted to 325hp. Which isn't bad for a...

I thought I was supposed to get my engine oil changed every 5000 miles, not 3000 but the dealership (two different ones) keeps scheduling the next appointment after 3000 miles. Is that normal? I thought non synthetic oils are supposed to last 5000 with the synthetic lasting 7500 or more?

Anyone else having recurring CEL (Check Engine Light) problems? I have a 2011 3.8 Prem/Tech with 12k miles and the darn thing keeps coming on. The dealer reset it 3 times now and this last time gave me a can of MOA to put in with my oil, hoping it might "clean the screens" on the sensors...

Hi All! It just occurred to me today that I don't think I've ever seen the light on the engine start button illuminate on my Genesis. When should I see this this light come on??

To all that have the r-spec. Does anyone have an annoying clicking noise as the engine idles? I was told it's the way the new GDI engine is. I test drove two and they all sounded the same.

I just replaced my air filter and cleaned the cabin filter on my Genesis for the 15K mile maint. I looked at my dealer's maint list. Can anyone explain what is the Air cleaner Element and Engine Air Filter?
