    Brake squeal after new pads installed

    Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forums here, but I have a 2011 Hyundai Genesis with the V6. Been a great car, bought it a year ago with 17k on it. Its around 37k now and I decided to change out the pads in the front. Old ones weren't bad, but I like a good pedal. Used Bosch QuietCasts, that I have...

    Odd engine intake noise on acceleration 4.6

    My 2011 4.6 makes a "waahh" sound when accelerating lightly from a stop at 1300-1800 rpm. I can make it go away by stepping harder on the throttle. Passengers ask "what's that noise" so it's not just me. It's not the cool intake noise of a high performance engine. It's a something's broken...

    Odd thing happening with my Iphone connection

    I recently changed from an IPhone 4s to a Samsung Note 3. I decided to keep the old IPhone and use it as an IPod always attached to the USP port. The car has read the music and playlists flawlessly until just recently. Last week I downloaded some new songs from ITunes. I added them to the...

    Odd sound, have you heard it too?

    I recently picked up a 2015 AWD w/Tech and ever since a dealer visit it has made the sound in this video: https://flic.kr/p/oUHcaP I'm wondering, is this normal? Doesn't happen every time, I'd estimate roughly 20-30% of the time when I arrive home. It happens other places but much less...

    Odd Happening

    About 2 months ago, out of the blue I noticed that the trunk had opened by itself overnight, which caused the battery to die. Called Hyundai Assistance, they sent a truck out and got me started. This event has happened 5 times already, today being the latest, and I have already taken the car to...

    Odd USB Key

    I found an odd device under the drivers seat. A black plastic key head with Hyundai in raised letters and what looks to be a male USB end. I didn't find any reference in the manuals and the dealers sales and service people had no idea what it is used for. Any one know for sure what it does? I...

    Odd Washington Post article re Equus

    Warren Brown - whose car columns I read every week in the Post and whose opinions I generally agree with - has a column today that strikes me as a little peculiar...

    Odd "items" on new 2011 4.6

    Hi, I just got a new Genesis 4.6 sedan. I noticed a couple of odd things. I tried to search the forum, but didn't find anything: 1. Do the homelink buttons on the rear view mirror illumate at all? At night I find myself fumbling for the buttons because I don't which one is which? 2. How...

    Odd Happenings

    Yesterday, I started the Gennie at Costco, after shopping for a half hour. The front parking sensors then indicated something was in front of me every time I stopped, regardless of the fact that nothing was there. The problem fixed itself after the car was shut down over night. Several weeks...

    Odd forum structure

    After being on this site for a while, I just don't get some of the structural decisions of the forum. My biggest gripe is the Technical Discussions section. There is way too much structure there to be useful. There are 3 actual sections in there hidden within 5 folders (if you will). Simply...
