[daveinsguy]

Hello! i am new to the Genisis group. I have had an odd issue with the positive battery conection. Sometimes it is just disconected and seems to be tightr. I haver taken it off, cleaned it and reinstall and it is ok for awhile then dead again. Has anyone had this isse and an idea of a fix? They dealer says hey never heard of it. Also I was driving along fine, pulled over but did not turn the car off and started off and it would not accelerate. Put in neutral and engine reved fine but in grear it would only accerate slowly. parked it for a few minutes then it was fine. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello! I am new to the Genesis world. Have owned a 2016 sedan for about a year now, 70 k miles. Have had an odd proble where the positive battery conection seems to come lose (but it is tight) and the car is dead. Cleaned and reinstall and it is fine for awhile then dead again. Slaming the car door will often get it going untill I can get to it. Any idea of a perminante repair? Dealer says they never heard of that problem Thanks!

... Dealer says they never heard of that problem Thanks!

Actually, this seems like a pretty common problem.
When you say that it is tight, do you mean the nut/bolt on the clamp, or the clamp itself. If you tug on the cable, does the clamp rotate or otherwise move?

Improved positive battery terminal box

By improved, I mean liberally butchered with a rotozip. But hey, my car no longer dies without rhyme or reason... and remote start works again. Exhibit A: pot metal terminal made by Hyundai and sold for $1400 Exhibit B: pot metal terminal made by Hyundai for $14. Of superior design...

HELP! completely lifeless Genesis

jimmy buoy, I greatly appreciate the tip, and for sure I will check that as a possible cause, makes perfect sense to me as I've come across it many times in the past on customers vehicles when I was a working mechanic. I am still surprised that I can't find any info on the 50a breaker or 10a...

Car loses power when turning off or turning on

I have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan and I have been having this problem that whenever I turn off my car or whenever I try and start the car, the whole car just loses power. The only way to regain power is to move the battery around until it comes back on. Has anyone had this problem before and...

Hello! I am not sure this is a transmission issue but my car kinda made a noise like I had run over a rock, the radion went dead for a second then came back on but the car would not accelerate (very slowly). put in neutral it reved fine but back in gear even floored it would bearly move. Parked it for about an hour and it is back to normal. Not sure what to do next. Don't want to be pulling out in traffic and it happens again! Thanks

All of that was probably caused by your loose battery connection. Solve the known problem first before looking for other issues...
