New Genesis owner seeking advice on repair.

P0456 small EVAP leak, test your purge valve holds when sealed. Test canister solenoid holds seal when shut. This solenoid needs to be commanded shut, before doing the smoke test. This is why you had smoke coming out near and around the gas cap. Most common place is on the canister, where you bolt it down. The fitting that you screw bolt into canister, is weak by design. Causing it to crack due to vibration, do the propane test like suggested. Smoke test on a small leak is hard to see, so propane test. Find the area, and then old school soapy water. To pin point exactly where leak is, good luck. EVAP Leaks Suck! Well Really They Blow!
But you get what I'm saying. Best Of Luck

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this website and community. I just purchased a used 2009 Genesis sedan 3.8 with 59,000 miles from a dealership. It has every option and package available on that model. I have just a few questions that I hope someone can help me with.

First things first, the sunroof malfunctioned while I test drove the car. It made violent clicking and popping sounds when sliding front and back and tilting up and down. It eventually became stuck with the left side tilted down and the right side still open tilted up. The mechanic the dealer referred me to showed me the broken plastic pieces that allowed the sunroof to tilt up and down. They managed to get the sunroof shut and it is sealed (I tested it by driving through a car wash with no leaks). They also disconnected the slide/tilt button from the motor as to not accidentally open it for the time being. Now, the dealer offered me 2 options, first option: refund me $500-$600 off the price I purchased the car for, or second option: pay to fix the sunroof. What would you all recommend because according to some quick research, I've found that the sun roofs on these vehicles seem to be breaking somewhat often even on newer models. One thing to note, I never EVER used my previous sunroof in my old 06 Elantra which I owned for 7 years and I prefer always driving with all windows rolled up anyways.

Second issue, The test drive led me to believe everything was running fine mechanically. Smooth ride, smooth gear shifts, transmission felt slightly worn but nothing too alarming. Engine made no weird sounds, breaks felt good, electronics were working, and overall me and my friend who came with me (he knows cars) deemed it mechanically sound. The Carfax showed regular maintenance and inspections throughout it's life with the most recent vehicle inspection being in late 2018. The day after purchasing it, the check engine light came on. We tried disconnecting the battery and closing the gas cap to see if it were just a simple hiccup. The light remains on whenever the car is running. It still runs and feels great when driving, it even says I'm averaging 27 mpg (I drive very light on the gas). Would any of you be super concerned that it is a mechanical/engine issue?

I have no warranties on the car and am just a little worried something bad and expensive is going to need to be r

I had the same issue with 2012 Genesis sedan/tech package. The problem is fairly common. There are two plastic rails that the the sunroof pins slide through. Unfortunately, these rails or guides crack at their weakest point. Mine was fixed under warranty. They said it would have been a $1400 repair. I believe if you found a really good sunroof mechanic, they could replace the guides without removing the entire roof as they did with mine, but I am not sure of that.

I know it is, it's meant for anyone that may have this problem. Not specifically the one who posted 3 years ago, thanks for your comment.

Mine just started breaking, too. 2010 4.6, non Tech package. Anyone tried that “repair kit” listed on eBay from Ch*na?

I had the same fault and it was a bad purge valve for me. They are cheap and easy to replace though

Old thread here, but are you able to tell me where this is located? I'm planning on replacing mine. Thanks
