    Squeak/Creak suspension on speed bumps

    Hi all, I have a 2010 4.6 with 13K miles and I keep hearing a squeak from the front driver's side suspension when I go over bumps at low speed. "Speed humps" are a great way to trigger it. Anybody else seen/solved this problem? Took it to the dealer yesterday and they said they lubricated the...

    Difference between cruise control and DIS Average Speed

    Hi all, I have an '10 3.8 Tech Package and I noticed yesterday that the average speed given by the DIS is not related to the speedometer display. I was on the highway with speed set at 110km/h on the cruise control and no car in front of me. I reset the DIS Average Speed indicator, but it...

    Low speed noise

    My 2010 Genesis makes a clunking noise (rattle) on the right side when going over uneven surfaces at low speed. The Hyundai techs hear the noise, but cannot find the cause. Any similar problems out there?

    Is the 2012 eight speed trasmission a mistake?

    The 2011 BMW 5-series only offers the 8-speed transmission on their V-6 RWD model, the AWD models and V-8 only offer the 6-speed transmission. What does BMW know that Hyundai does not

    Equus (off topic) 8 speed transmission...is this it?

    http://www.zf.com/corporate/en/products/innovations/8hp_automatic_transmissions/8hp_automatic_transmission.html?et_cid=12&et_lid=32 That's one sophisticated transmission, and seems to be a likely choice based off the Genesis already using a product from their company. Nice video explaining...

    Cruise Control Speed Issues

    First time poster but long-time reader of everyone's great insight! First off, I LOVE, LOVE my new Genesis! I have a 2009 V6 Genesis with Tech Package. On recent trips, I have noticed that the cruise control seems to slip quite a bit on uphills and downhills. So much so that setting the cruise...

    Is the 4.6 Tau speed limited?

    I know the engine is rev limited, but is the car speed limited. My Dad's Cadillac, (DTS, Northstar V8, extra horsepower) is speed limited, around 130mph. Is the Genesis V8 constrained by speed? How fast will this car go? Anyone had the opportunity to push the limits? I've only got 800 some...

    How rpm varies with engine speed

    :)I haven't done much highway driving with my Genesis 3.8, but recently was pleased to note how the engine was loafing around at 2000 RPM while I was cruising on flat ground at 70 MPH with the A/C off (per my speedometer, not GPS). My last two cars were 4 door sedans and ran at 2,500 to 2,750...

    Turbo speed of wipers

    So...I was driving the Genesis today in HEAVY rain and the wipers were set to fast...while driving I noticed that the wipers appeared somewhat jerky and nonfluid...almost to the point of being annoying while driving in heavy rain. Then, when I set them to the normal operating speed they became...

    Speed management assistance

    Have been doing a fair amount of highway driving with my new V8 and she loves to cruise at high speeds effortlessly. Used to have an old visor mounted Escort radar detector for my 2002 BMW. Haven't had one for years, but thinking it might be a good investment. I do know that 25 yrs ago Escort...

    Shaking at high speed

    I test drove a 2.0T and a 3.8 yesterday and the salesman told me to drive it like I stole it.. so I got on it a little bit for each car The 2.0T was very enjoyable and I liked the low-end power it had to offer For the 3.8, at about 65MPH the wheel started to shake pretty violently, however...

    Laser Speed- Can this be?

    Yesterday, dreamily traveling the freeways of Houston with the cruise control set approaching triple digits, I came over an overpass only to find a HPD cruiser with Officer Bill and his Laser Gun. Naturally I hit the brakes, and my Valentine One gave a short "Laser detected" chirp indicating...

    High Speed run with an E550

    I had to share this with everyone. So, I'm on my way to a client lunch minding my own business when an e550 comes up behind me, FAST. So I'm thinking here we go, I slide the shift over to manual and drop down into 3rd (at about 80) and see ya 550, so I thought. He comes on hard and we go back...

    Top Speed Run

    Decided to do a top speed run today. I took my Genesis to 140 MPH on a straight level road (no wind) before I chickened out. Now this is surprising for two reasons. First I had read that top speed for the V6 was 130 MPH and second because I think it would have went faster had I not chickened...
