More repairs needed to 2015 Genesis sedan

[BenGenesis]

2015 Genesis sedan 3.8 Tech AWD. The transmission was acting up last fall. When in stop/go driving, the 1-2 upshift was delayed and when it did shift, I got a strong kick like I was rear ended. 51K miles. I brought it to the selling dealer who said it needs a new transmission. They can't be repaired. I'm covered under the 10/100 major powertrain warranty thank goodness. They also plan on replacing the driveshaft parts (also covered under 10/100) to address the low speed 25/30 mph shimmy when the car is cold. Head unit replaced and starter replaced within the last 18 months. I won't count the CEL sensor and new tires every 20K. As much as I enjoy driving this car, it reminds me of my old Audis...not reliable and lots of ongoing maintenance. But again, thank goodness for the strong warranty 5/60 then 10/100...something my Audis did not have. Side note, the dealer has been great and provided me with a complimentary/ new Santa Fe loaner.

Does your car still run fine after these hard gear shifts? My 2015 3.8 RWD sedan, has been doing the same for about 10 k miles. It currently has 91k, I have felt that being rear ended feeling several times, I did bring it up to the dealer once and all they did was reset the transmission sensors. I figured it was something with the tranny.

With the new tranny installed, it shifts perfectly now. Dealer said tranny fluid was black indicating a problem but they hooked it up to a computer to confirm. The bill says per TSB #19AT014H (delayed shifts outside of Hyundai specs). Good luck.

My 2015 is in shop now with same transmission issues, actually just received a call that Hyundai approved the warranty claim. Missing my car but can't complain with the Santa Fe loaner

Is the 25/30mph vibration fixed after you had the work done? I have had 2 driveshaft replacements by 2 different dealers and now it is worse than ever not to mention the other 50 things the car has been in the shop for. My beat down Plymouth Horizon I got when I turned 16 was way more reliable than this POS. So frustrated with this vehicle.

Hey, what other problems do you have with your Genny?
