  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I own a 2013 3.8 genesis with full tech package. Car has been flawless for 135000 miles. Yesterday come out of gym, open door, no chimes, no genesis emblem, no nothing. fob cant open or lock door. trunk doesnt open etc. Battery is 2 years old. I go through a bunch of stuff, then I push gas cap release button, car powers up, drives and starts numerous times without issue. This am, starts up like nothing is wrong. I go on about my day, bunch of driving cycles without issue. Then again same thing occurs, no power to car at all, like it has a dead switch. So first thing I do is push gas cap release button, car powers up. Thoughts?
 
I think your car is trying to tell you something lol... That's really weird though, I've read horror stories about electrical problems with these cars but never anything like that. Glad to hear the car has been good to you for 135k though. I just picked up a 2013 3.8 this fall with 20k miles on it

Short in the wiring in the door, moisture related?

loose wiring on the battery or a bad battery, or a bad alternator (all of those I have dealt with on this awesome car)
Also dead alternator and starter
