I have never had these problems none of them you must of got one made on a Friday.
lmao
Oh not even the clicking from the timing
Lmao 😂💀
Interesting. Here in Germany we say "Montagsauto" = a car made on a monday.
NICK nice video I subbed and liked , just because you respond to almost everyone lol , anyways I'd like your opinion, someone is selling me the track 3.8 2012 for 4500 with. 125k miles ..but I have a 2006 Eclipse Gt 3.8 with 231k miles who I beat like There's no tomorrow NO LIE ,ill be doing 110 of highway daily lol serious and it doesn't give me any issues ever apart from regular maintenance like oil and and tire balance so im really spoiled, would you say the genesis is as reliable as the Mitsubishi motor ?
I don't really get the lockout too much but literally everything you said has happened to my Genny, listen to this man!!👆👌
Genny squad 👌
Yeah the timing chain ticking threw me off owned a few sports cars with a v6 never once heard it till i bought my 2010 3.8 GT genesis 😂 literally lost so much sleep over it then the timing went and everything was replaced still makes this sound so figured it had to be normal.
@@tonyb3524 yes like my ticking in the video is normal but once the engine gets alittle older you will start to hear it. My stage 2 clutch tho might overpower the sound honestly
How the transmission holding up ?
@@anthonytorres5861 it's still good I'm surprised I havent broken anything yet honestly. All last weekend I was doing back to back digs at around 2500-4000rpm clutch dumps. The car really needs better tires and that diff kit from ATQ
If you are getting vibrations in your steering wheel it is probably 1 of 3 things
1. You hit a chug hole, and your wheel is Fubared
2. Your tires are cupped from worn out suspension parts/ not rotating tires
3. While braking.... your rotors are warped.
An alignment can only fix the alignment of the wheel assembly. It DOES NOT solve your CURRENT vibration problems. Most decent alignment techs will check your suspension parts before resetting an alignment on your vehicle. A decent tire tech will spin your tires on a balancer to show you if you need a new wheel or just tires. Genesis has low pro tires like most coups. So the tires don’t absorb as much energy before warping the wheel when hitting an obstacle. Great video, very informative on the main issues with this car, thank you!
The new oils now have Sp Gf6 classification that helps the timing chain issues and carbon issues.
I have a 2011 Genesis Coupe with 132k miles on it. It has been the most trouble-free car that I have ever owned. Earlier in the year I did replace the down pipe because the flex joint finally broke. The same thing happened on my Stealth at around the same mileage. I bought a Veloster N this summer and kept my Gen Coupe because I like it so much. I intend to run my coupe until it blows-up.
Sounds like you got one of the good ones for sure. Usually they last as long as you keep up on the maintenance and moderate how much you beat on it of course.
I have a 2011 also. It’s fantastic, with over 172K. My only issues have been taillight leak and occasionally the anti theft keeps it from starting. There’s a reset button under the hood and then you are g2g.
I can relate to the ticking lol. My genny has 72k miles 2.0t. Pretty good overall , won’t waste that much gas if driven Normal and make sure to check the oil 👍🏾
no turbo issues? i’m scared to get a 2.0T
@@tannersych654 they are good, don’t worry about it. Last owner had it for 2 years and never had a problem. If you are looking for a cheap and good racing car try getting a Miata or a Honda Civic. 👍🏾
@@bribiescavortex3325 i have a 10th gen civic right now! my mom is taking it off of my hands though and i’m looking for a rwd
@@bribiescavortex3325 good to know though thank you
Thank you for this vid bro! I’ve been interested in getting the genesis coupe but I couldn’t find any videos about the common problems it brings. It seemed like it’s such a perfect car with no flaws but nobody ever talks about the flaws it has. I’m still getting one though and I know what to expect haha!
Any problems with the car as it grows in miles?
Nice man and so far nothing bad has happened with mine minus the small common issues. I'm currently at 76k
@@RspecNick are the leaks fixable like the sunroof
@@drwowzers6051 yea usually it's just clogged drain lines for the sunroof. The rear quarter windows you can just reseal. The taillights are fr the oem taillight gasket it shrinks alittle over time and sometimes leaks water into the trunk or causes your tails to condensate pretty bad
When he said “welcome to the pool party” I felt that. I clicked this video to see if it was common for my genesis to leak water smh
Between the taillights,rear quarter windows,sunroof drains water likes to seep in wherever possible
I've been looking for a genesis, Thanks for this video
There not that bad I'm glad I got mine 👌
I live in CA so luckily I don’t have to deal with the water/condensation issues. But I do notice after washing my car that sometimes I get water around the outsides of my headlights. I have to blow it out with air.
Is one of the headlight vent tubes clogged or fallen off. I had a spider nest in 2 of my vent tubes. I wanna say there is 4 vents per light.
Yeah it sounds like timing chain slap on the 3.8. Easy fix, nice ride.
Thanks for the video. My cousin has a 2010 3.8 Track 6MT since 7k miles. He had the grind from 4-5 and they replaced his transmission under a TSB.
I brought that up to Hyundai and both Hyundai and Hyundai of America declined it for me.
@@RspecNick DAMN 😮
@@robogoat23 yea I know. Still works good tho minus that issue currently at 99,800miles. Worse case scenario I find a 2016 trans for cheap and swap it out
Thank you for the informative warning video. I had a 3.8 for a long term business rental. In the southeast. Water leaks and trans issues like you. My personal car is a 380Z. Had a 350Z prior to that. Never had a single problem with the Z. Korean cars are not well put together like the Japanese Honda, Toyota, and Nissan cars are.
Very true overall tho I wouldnt get rid of my car I like it too much. I like the body the most i just wish there was more tuning and aftermarket support for the cars
Oddly enough, I’m having the mechanical issues he mentioned in my 2020 veloster n. A couple guys in our circle also have these drivetrain problems and it’s been a borderline war with the dealers lol.
Anyways, I 1000x regret trading my geni coupe for this lame duck pos. If you haven’t pulled the trigger yet, I encourage you to at least drive one. It’s fun, and like I said, my experience was nowhere near the train wreck of some other cars out there.
At least you’re looking at a Z though, I’m probably going to trade the geloster for the incoming brz (I miss fr sooo much, fwd is for the birds lol)
@@bobbyaustralia8509 yes honestly I like the new Ns but even the dealer told me the new genesis sedans leak water so it's like geez lol I want the new gen coupe to come out
@@RspecNick I say this all the time
That ticking/loose sound is so true. I literally took my car in to get checked because of it and it just sounds like that. Also I just replaced my clutch kit twice in 3 years smh....... Still like the car though
The steering wheel shake means you need to replace the wheel hubs / bearings (in these cars). Some guy replaced his and it completely fixed the shake.
The most of the ticking is coming from the high pressure fuel pump!
yep 5:02 i have the exact same grinding issue going from 5th to 6th, especially if I'm driving over 100 KM/H. The only way I've found it to work without the grind is to literally pause in between the shift. So stop midway through the shift in the neutral zone, and then shift into 6th once the synchros catch up. Works every time now. 2013 Gen coupe, 3.8 GT
Yep or slow shift it once I get my new stage 2 clutch past break in if it still does it I'm pushing for a new trans am at 74k miles now but I have a extended warranty until 88k
Have you guys had any problem with lockout / grinding when double clutching too or just granny shifting?
granny shifting lmao you shift grannies bro? @@motomotorized
I have a 2014 Genesis Coupe 3.8 and I have never had any of the problems you stated, no water leaks, no transmission rattle or grind, no tyre vibration but there is excessive camber, yes the injectors for the GDI do have a ticking sound because of the high operating pressure. Also, I drive my car hard, and it is a great car.
That's good tho. A bunch of the genesis guys in the facebook groups were just talking about the water leaks. I'm not sure why it's so common it's always brought up atleast once a month from new genesis owners.
I have the 2014 3.8 Ultimate as well with 67k miles. My tail lights were changed so there is water leakage through the gasket I just covered it with flex tape & the car sits in the garage anyway. Mine is not a daily driver (drive it once a week) so I don't have the engine noises or rattles that others report. My only issue is the touch screen is hard to function but that's just a minor inconvenience.
Mine was ticking since I bought it new in 2013. The dealer told me it was the lifter. She just hit 57,000 miles. No issues with leaks. I do have a sunroof.
I bought my 2015 gen 3.8 new. some notable problems I've had are water in the trunk, gear shift rattle, and my A/C compressor went out at like 55K miles. oh and my LSD had to be replaced due to a weird noise it was making when making turns slowly.
Yea the water leaks suck so far crossing my fingers never had the AC compressor fail or LSD yet
So would the automatic avoid majority of these problems? Besides the a/c going out
New also....200k on mine.....no issues yet lucky i guess
@@dabussy6001 ac went out on my at 58k
Water getting into cars from sunroofs is 100% always going to happen. Either the drain lines are clogged or the lines fall off the sunroof rack due to the zip ties breaking. Always make sure to use silicone spray or Honda's shin-etsu grease to help keep all weather stripping on cars soft and water resistant. As for the tail lights those are a manufacturer defect as you said. The 3.8l engines from a mechanics stand point suck. Too many flaws. Same with the 2.0 but if you add forged aftermarket internals and on every oil change use motorkote. You will save the timing chain tensioner from breaking. As for the transmission it's always hit or miss with the clutch packs but changing your trans fluid every 30 to 50k miles helps especially if your trying to play fast and furious with a stock trans.
100%? I've had five Hondas with sunroofs and not a single one leaked. One of them ('98 Accord) creaked a bit while cornering, but no leaks.
I love you bro the 3.8 timing chain tick has had me worried so bad. Changed the oil from 10w40 to 10w30 mobile 1 fsyn and the noise got a little bit louder might go back to the 40 but changed because my oil was running a bit hotter with the 40.
Mine slowly got worse once I hit 102k miles apparently it's a normal thing with the 3.8s. I actually blew the car up (my fault). I'm on the fence now between OEM short block or an actual built motor.
This may just be your car; I personally have had my 3.8 r spec for over a year, and still never had any of these problems. Thx for the video though, I’ll be looking out for these problems!
Some people don't have the issues until later on but most of the genesis guys run into them down the road. But I'm glad you haven't had them so far that's good
Wait until 3 years
@Paweł Miketa hopefully you dont get any of them theres a few that haven't had any issues at all but most end up with atleast 1 or 2 of the water leaks
@Paweł Miketa how much did you pay for your car?
@Paweł Miketa I'm guessing alot lol
Bro that tick has me up the wall but thank you for explaining cus i thought it was the lifters for the longest time
Let's see, where do I start with my 2015 3.8 R-Spec lol. The power steering and lsd is very noisy on these cars, but that can't be fixed as far as I know. I had rev hang; which sometimes caused my car to stall out, or it would rev between 1000-2500 rpms while idling. They fixed the rev hang by repairing the clutch switch, so fingers crossed it doesn't come back. I've had transmission issues twice in the last 5 years, but they've never offered to replace it completely, they just replace the clutch and flywheel assembly.
The only thing you've listed that I haven't had issues with is the leaking, but I have the SuperLUX V2 tails, and I don't have a sunroof. All in all, this is a fun and sexy car, but it has it's moments (lots of them) lol. Somehow the trusty 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 has 130k miles and only been in the shop for recalls. Sadly I cannot say the same for my Genny, as it has 38k miles, and the stealership service department is it's second home, but I still love her. Sad to think; I almost paid $45k for a 5.0 Stang, but I'm glad I fell in love with the Gen and paid less than $30k. I've had 2 Mustangs in the past, and both were major problems anyways, not to mention dangerous cars 😉😉🤣.
Great video thanks for the heads up!
No problem at all man
just found a crazy deal, 70k mileage, 2016, 3.8, and completely stock, no water leaking reports, amazing. Getting it this weekend for 13.5k.
Nice man yea that's now a bad deal at all.
Thanks for this, I'm looking into buying a used genesis as my first car so i was curious as to what to expect.
Overall pretty basic car but like every other car it's got it's issues. I still have mine and don't regret getting it
@@RspecNick would you say it’s more reliable than a g35?
@@xdip8752 it's definitely faster but reliability wise probably about the same
My car does the 5th-6th grind almost every shift, I get a grind into 2nd sometimes if I’m above 6k rpm but I don’t get the lockout which is weird... man I hate this transmission lol
It's not terrible but it's not the best either
Damn. Mine seems like it grinds on 5th when I do a big pull too, I thought my clutch or transmission was going out, not unless it is lol
I got a chevy volt the water gets in the rear passenger door and fills up every rain. Examining the issue, there is drain hole on the bottom, seems it gets clogged up although pure rain would not have any debris. I suspect dirt got in when the window seal got old. I just removed the rubber gasket around the drain and no more issue.
That ticking noise isn't your timing chain it's your Gdi injectiors, they all do that. Timing chain rattle doesn't sound like that
Literally this.
This video was very helpful!! Currently looking at one & I am probably going to the pull the trigger on it. Thanks man😁
No problem at all. Honestly they are not bad cars. I love mine and wouldnt get rid of it. Just keep up on maintenance watch the oil levels and get catch cans for sure I just emptied my catch cans after just about 7,000 miles and measured it and I had a build up of 1/3 cup of oil after 7k miles.
i bought a genny 2016 3.8 base that was stock, literally no issues and ive done wheels (and I mean 9.5" in the front and 10.5" in the rears+ 1) tires, coil-overs, short shifter, CAI, and even new speakers and a radio. no issues
Do you plan on getting the Alphaspeed tune.
He said pool party 😂😂😂😂 but I found it & fell in love & I’m getting it
Congrats man 👌
@@RspecNick I got it bro !!!! I love it
@@blAckevans good man just keep up on maintenance and you should be good 👌
I bought a 3.8 two weeks ago and a couple days ago my drive shaft snapped off
Did you get the recall done for the drive shaft bolts ?
There’s a recall on this
@@Anthonymartinez-hw8pd get the after market diff bolts from 3.8 performance, and change out your diff mount and bushings. I had to do the same thing, those OEM bolts for the diff mount are garbage and will snap or come undone under consistent torque. Yea bro sorry it happened, your def not alone fam.
Ticking is the injectors mine does this too especially on cold start ups
Is it like a big problem cuz I bought a 3.8 2011 and it’s Been ticking on cold start ups
Ok black rtv sealant cut the nozzle small angle apply around leaking area works great on any sunroof etc
And on the taillights to reseal them. My sunroof is fine but I know alot of them have draining issues with the drain tubes.
@@RspecNick what is the best way to unclog the drain tube? Air compressor?
@@rayv.2892 yes air compressor
Pretty sure that ticking noise is just the injectors. I own a 3.8 bk2 as well. It's a GDI engine so the injectors are much noisier because the fuel pressure is way higher. It's totally normal
Yes mine is gdi tick but some of the 3.8s get the timing chain tick from the cams
What exhaust do you have?? I went through the trunk water issue, the dealer took care of that. I have a rattling/wind noise I hear when doing highway speeds. Sounds like it comes from the side mirror but the dealer replaced that.. still does it.
Will be checking the back floor for water when it rains now.
Isr race catback with obx resonated test pipes
2010 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec with 108k miles with only 2 owners on the car 4 cylinder manual what should I watch out for ?
You mentioned the problem with the transmission on manuals but what about any problems on the automatics?
I know in the older bk1s they use to have jerking issues or have issues related to the (sport mode) option where you would jump it in sport or slap shift and it would be jerky and on the actual indicator on the dash it would read D still. Usually just topping off the fluid or an actual fluid change helped alot. Now with the BK2 you get some nasty rev hang and similar issues as the bk1 with the jerky shifting issue. Really a Tune would clean alot of those issues up with rev hang and with the shift points
Wow you replied to all of these comments. Props for that lol. What year genesis would you say is the best price wise and performance wise?
Thanks I try to get to all of them. Honestly there all pretty similar in price it comes down to if you wanna build the car up big time 3.8 track/rspec. If you want a car that's easier to mod and already is boosted the 2.0T Rspec.
Thanks dude, was gonna buy one. Learned a lot.
No problem man figured throw some of that info out there.
Lockout comes from challenging the reverse setting.... a normal car with reverse opposite of 5th, you can use the side ad a guide, thats a bad habit you want to gain the muscle memory straight into 2nd.
If you slide straight into 2nd, boom, don't miss a beat we're banging gears and showing everyone what these cars can do. But if you make the car think you're messing with that reverse setting it puts you on timeout
Very good info for sure
Bought mine off my brother so I’ve been around it a lot and I had the leak in the trunk from the taillights but for me I thought it was bc he has wrecked it a couple time with deers and guard rails. I got it fixed and it’s good not but now you got me all worried lol. Hopefully I don’t deal with many problems
Honestly mine was not that bad at all. Mine is currently down tho for a blown motor (my fault donuts). Hoping my block can be saved and then I'll just run forged internals and probably boost.
@@RspecNick o man I hope it’s saveable, I couldn’t imagine the scare that is. I’m trying my best do dabble in modding I got the isr cat back exhaust too but rn I’m trying to get her ark downpipe and testpipe I’m just hoping everything works out for it.
@@goofyop4365 it's definitely a fun platform but yea I'm hoping the same cause a used motor prices for the BK2 are wild 6k for a motor with over 100k miles
I have the real Genesis 2010 2.0T. The tail lights do have a condensation issue but not so much anymore. No sunroof.
Probably just the housing leaking water.
Hey man I’ve been planning on getting an automatic 3.8 are those any worse than if it were manual?
Those trans arent that bad but if you go to push it to high HP it wont be as strong as the manuals are. Most people wont even come close to maxing out the stock trans in a 3.8 tho.
Mine has a lot of dead sensors and it only has 113k miles, I have the 3.8 and the oxygen sensor needs replaced already and so does the oil switch that is only assessable thru removing the oil tank.
What year is yours? The oxygen sensors arent too bad that's a hit or miss thing with alot of cars I use to have a old toyota ran 87 all the time and when I ran 93 in it would burn out bank 1 upstream o2 sensors all the time. The oil pressure sensor I've seen a couple other higher mileage 3.8s have issues with them.
Only issue I have right now is when going about 70 I can hear some rattling in the interior on the passenger side.
I actually just started getting that in the last like 2000 miles it sounds almost as if its behind the glove box
I.WANT.THIS.CAR.
The black looks Soo cleannnn
Thanks and yea it's not bad when its clean
This might be my first fun car I get in an automatic. I've seen so much about the bad manual transmissions but so much good about the auto. Good video though.
Yea the autos arent to bad worse thing about them is the shift solenoids start going out and cant handle high power. But if you just left the car stock or did full bolt ons the car would be fine.
@@RspecNick ty for the info
@@typicaltilly2535 No problem. Honestly as much hate as autos get they have come a long way. And ontop of that there is very very few who can outshift a computer.
The auto is a ton of fun for it not being a manual. Has a manual mode plus the car will have you going a 100 plus by accident and you won’t even feel like your going that fast for the weight it has. And if you don’t care so much about the longevity of your engine it’s really easy to break the traction and keep a drift and shit even with it being auto
Hey! What exhaust do you have? Sounds amazing!
I have the isr race exhaust with obx resonated test pipes and I replaced the isr high flow resonated with a chambered resonater
Any flickering issues with the spec d? One of mine are something when I hit brakes
Nope no issues with mine man
Just to add my two cents after 5 years of ownership:
Water - definitely an issue as mentioned here, haven't had it go to the floors yet but the trunk in a little pool sometimes.
Transmission - 6spd manual, I'm having a hard time getting into reverse gear when cold (32° and less) and 5th gear is crunching like crazy.
Suspension/alignment - LOWER CONTROL ARMS. God damn, today I've installed a new control arm for the 4th time since I bought the vehicle. Now I'm not sure if it's because of the shitty roads here in Alberta or an excessive amount of power slides but man, that's almost once a year!! Luckily they're easy to change.
Overall, aside from the problems listed here I've found the car to be extremely reliable and that even after a stage 2 tune. Control arms have been the only somewhat major issues in 5 years. Still love mine!
Same I've only had the trunk water and taillights fog up from it. And some common 6speed issues all in all the car has been great to me. Looking to get the isr adjustable arm kit.
I completely agree. Lower control arms, water, and also windows are shit when it comes to linking or power window problems
Welp man just wanted to say thanks for the video and it made me feel comfortable to take a chance on getting one of these.
Definitely worth it man still have mine and it's still going strong at 94k miles and like I said I beat mine hard and daily drive it.
I bought a 2014 Genesis Coupe 2.0T Automatic in 2017. Currently at ~87,000 miles. Only 2 owners with me being the second. The ONLY Issues so far have been:
- The Driver side window motor burnt out on me twice; regulator only once. All under normal use.
- Steering wheel wobbling at 70-80MPH
- The starter just imploded on itself out of nowhere.
Other than that, it's been more reliable than I could ask for.
Agree for sure they are pretty solid if your treat them right and don't bounce off the rev limiter.
I just got an automatic 2.0t 2013, It has the lifter tick / injectors tick, but it goes away after warning up. however it stalls after like 5 min or so, got a new battery and spark plugs, I'm thinking it has to do with fuel issue, anyone has something similar?
I'm looking at a 137k miles 2010 3.8 for about 3800$. It's gonna be my first potential car and I'm so nervous cuz of the mileage and facing reliability issues as a first time car 😅😅😅
It honestly depends on how the car was treated and serviced. If that's 137k miles of beat miles I would steer clear of that honestly. If it was serviced good I'd get it. Just keep in mind 137k miles on a rwd car that was more then likely beat on alot something will break during you owning it.
These G4KF motors are only good for about 200,000kms and the G6DA or G6DK are good for just above 250,000kms I would also steer clear i like these cars but I'll admit that their 4 cylinder is not Toyota reliable when pushed hard. However you can always swap out the motor for cheap.
I'm looking into a 2010 that's at 118k that's stick so would I be making a mistake purchasing it 😅
My 2nd gear lock out disappeared on its own 😅 my current issue on my bk2 3.8, is a random Missfire
I toned my down with different fluid, transmission mount and then the better shifter bushings
As a first car would you recommend a 2.0 or 3.8, Bk1 or Bk2?
There not bad but in the winter or the rain they can be a hand full if you dont know how the car will react when it kicks out
This car is beautiful!!
Thank you 🙏
Subbed and liked thanks for responding btw🙏🏼
really bro? It like loudly clicks/crunches into gear from the shifter ? I guess grinding is different and means an actual brzzzz sounds right?
Thanks man I try to respond to all the comments honestly. And yea you get the crunch/clank sound when you throw it in gear. If you grind it that sounds terrible and the car won't move like a miss shift.
@@RspecNick thanks so much bro, i really appreciate you responding to me you’re the best!! I was googling it and people with similar problems (but with other cars not g.c) were saying synchros so i panicked lol. Thanks again nick🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 looking forward to more videos
@@Davidxdlol No problem at all. Hopefully I'll be posting more soon it's just a matter of time and having it not be windy cause it's always really windy where I live and it destroys the audio lol
Ale piękny 😍
I had 2013 2.0 lived in Michigan and all same problems all within 6 months of buying it new.. my first winter how the door windows lower quarter in when you first open door.. in winter window freezes in up position and when you go to shut the door the window snaps into place loud thud from hitting the roof panel..
Yep I've done that a couple times
The constant ticking in the 3.8 is because of direct injection fueling.
@7:40 i get that tick too its mad annoying but i have a 2.0 and ive changed my timing chain and gears etc
Aside from the timing chains and tensioners who else has a slight whine noise when at low speed and a steady rpm mostly at 40mphish and 4th gear.
I do but it's from my oil cooler. Is it your window seals?
@@RspecNick no most def not the window seals.i cant track down the noise.does it when im at a steady speed or off the gass just coasting.sound like its from the trans then it sound like from the rear end then up by the engine its almost impossible to know where its from since it only does it when driving.thought somone else may have this "issue"
@@clickslidebang1871 honestly the only thing I can think of that would whine like that would be like weather stripping,wheel bearing but maybe there could be something going on internally too it's hard to know without really hearing the noise
Getting mine on the 6th thanks for the video
Nice and thanks man
I've experienced the same problem with going from 5 to 6 gear, sometimes if I change gear slow enough it doesn't grind. Whats your thoughts bud
Mark Torres i get a notchy feeling when I shift at low rpms like 2800 or less
Mark Torres shift at 3k or higher
@@clickslidebang1871 same here honestly. I noticed mine got better once I changed the fluid but I can still grind it if I shift fast everytime. The megan racing trans mount helped out on it and next when I switched the shifter bushings it helped even more but it's still there on fast shifts.
I have what I think is the same problem, and honestly the best "fix" I have for it is trying harder to rev match haha. Makes me think in my case it really is the clutch but oh well. Got warranty too so I'm not too concerned :)
I had that problem @ 32k miles. Went to dealer and they replaced the whole transmission. I got 87k miles now and never had another problem with grinding from 5 to 6
What Rims are those?? i love them

I looking into getting a 2015 genisis but I wanna know if this car will last. The one I’m lookin at has about 106,000 miles. Is this a car I can rely on for a while
Depends on how the car was taken care of I've talked to a bunch of gen owners that are above the 160k mark and there still running strong.
1:07 noooo not the hand on the glass i can't 😭😭
😂
My problem is that when my car is on park it start vibrating a little to much . Not sure if it’s because I have to change the motor mounts ?
Maybe motor or trans mount.
i have none of these problems, my 3.8 has 0 leaks and no engine problems
Yea mine only had the taillight issue. I'm basing most of this video off of hundreds of other gen coupes that run into similar issues. I see one of those issues pop up atleast once a week in the genesis groups
I have a rattle on my shifter on high acceleration. I heard that it’s normal on these cars. Is it true?
Mine doesnt rattle but I have different bushings and a trans mount. Try changing the trans mount to the megan racing one and see if it stops it if not go with some shifter bushings from ATQ or message Tomi Varga on the genesis coupe group's of Facebook
Its a problem, I got one from amazon never
had problem again
What diffuser are you running and what’s your suspension and wheel setup?
Street areo diffuser, godspeed springs, 19x9.5s in the front and 19x10.5 in the rears
So I have the genesis coupe 3.8 as well and I also have that ticking noise. Does it get louder for you when you accelerate?
Slightly but alot of my noises are the hpfp (high pressure fuel pump) at idle it's a mix of the pump,timing chain and clutch chatter now that I have the stage 2 comp clutch
I need a exhaust for 3.8 can you recommend which I should get I like the sound of your car.
I heard Solo makes a good catback for the genesis. The ISR race isn't bad but it is pretty droney on the highway.
Rspec Nick what do you mean by droney?
@@Cameron_1 pretty much a loud humming that's non stop on the highway. Most of the other catbacks are pretty calm on the highway but since the isr race is basically a straight pipe it's just loud all the time
those led gauges are dope af
Thanks man they are the Prosport evolution gauges.
A had a pool in tiburon also where the spare tire is, i just drill holes in the trunk
I ended up using a towel to dry mine out and pulled the trunk apart and let the sun dry it out. The new seals dont have any issues now.
someone tell me if I should get a 2010 automatic for first car if I don’t wanna do a bunch of maintenance
Depends on how the car was taken car of. Its its higher miles and was beat I'd stay away cause your gonna probably end up with issues and make you resent the genesis.
How do you fix the steering wheel vibration ???
Balanced wheels,alignment fixed it for me. Other guys have had to replace certain steering components tho.
i’ve been looking to get a manual 3.8 r-spec for as long as i can remember. i don’t mind the leaks or the minor inconveniences. but the transmission issue made me think twice a bit. are the transmission issues bad enough to the point where it makes one regret buying a 3.8 in the first place?
Almost 2 years in and still dont regret it. It's annoying if you go from a dig and get locked out of 2nd but it doesnt happen all the time.
I've been looking between the two and I'm liking the 2.0 muchhhh better.
@@mattc420 i think the exact opposite than you. In my opinion, the 3.8 was mutch better
Yo so im thinking abt getting one. But i really would like to get more info on them anything you can help me with?
Which one are you looking at? 3.8 or 2.0
And the messed up welds on the firewall that makes the car have a rattling sound at low rpm
Or the fender welds that make your car sound like a old wooden ship
is it still a good purchase in 2023? I'm thinking of buying a 2013 manual one for 9k cad...
I would they are decent looking cars
Hey nick, I just subscribed and understand if you don’t see this, but if you do I’d really like some help or a clue on 2 problems with my 2013 Hyundai Genesis coupe 3.8 gt. Its my first car and I honestly have so many memories that I want to keep upgrading it in the near future.
The first problem had for about 3 months is that my steering and floor is shaking and I feel like I’m driving over gravel even though I’m on the highway. I balanced my tires about 2 months ago, as well as a alignment shortly after. I’ve taken my car to 5+ mechanic shops to get it inspected, and even a Hyundai service dealer told me that there is nothing wrong with the car. I’ll try the hub rings but if they don’t work idk what to do...
The second problem is that I feel like the car kicks back every second. Like if a gear is spinning under the car and every gap in the gear creates a kicks that pushes you back. I feel like it might be something in my engine or transmission but all those 5+ mechanics told me there was nothing wrong with the car so i don’t want to risk fixing it in my own and somehow destroy the engine.
I don’t have much experience on car mechanic, but I’d like to learn and keep my car performing normal for days to come.
Try the hubs rings for sure but even my car has a little bit of a vibration around 65mph that's with hub rings,balance and alignment. Another thing to check is tire pressure make sure it's even cause one front tire being lower can cause a pulling type effect.
The kicking part is hard to kind of decipher tho is it manual if so what are the miles has it had a clutch replacement did the person before you beat the clutch. Sort of sounds like a slip in transition. If its auto it could be pressure switch related or low fluid level. Its alot of diagnosing honestly.
Dont worry about the shops I brought my car there just to get a check up even tho I do all my own stuff it's nice for them to give it a good look over for anything I may miss and they heard my clutch chatter from the stage 2 clutch and told me my motor spun a bearing 😑 needless to say I stopped going there.
@@RspecNick Thank you for responding!! I got my grey automatic genesis coupe from a guy in Florida who previously rear ended the car, so I fixed it and brought it to New York for college and had the best time of my life so far. I admit that as anyone in college I did drove it hard but over all fell in love with its curbs and its quick pulls, and haven’t experience any sort of problem for 5 years (with the exception of changing the tires and a couple scratches.
Due to previous life accidents (like literary blowing up 2 laptops due to fiddling too much in the settings) I have always been afraid of getting my hands dirty with the car since most of my knowledge comes from videos and car mechanic simulator, but I would like to learn more and bought a copy of the genesis coupe factory service manual to try and comprehend more how to fix it. Once I become more economically stable I would love to bring it back to Peru and mod it to my hearts content.
But, in the meantime I’d like to keep it as factory similar as possible to conserve the previously damaged car. I want to be one of those dads who own a 70’s corvette but with my genesis coupe instead.
For the bumpy ride problem, unfortunately the roads here in Long Island tend to not be patch up well and the right front sway link snapped after hitting a pot hole to hard and had to pay 400$ in the dealer for a replacement. The vibration problems began soon after. Like I said before, I did my alignment, bought new tires and balance them, bought some new brake discs from autozone, turned out that the new discs where warped from factory so had to get them changed and I would still feel like the whole car shacked when before I didn’t felt nothing. I took out the muffler when I first got it but felt like it was to loud in Manhattan and had cops watching my every move. So I put a remote exhaust switch but it made the vibrations even worst due to some noise leaking out through the closed short exhaust and had it removed. Also, a friend mechanic who lend me his workshop told me that my front left wheel axle was creating a clicking noise due to a the ring inside being snapped. I don’t know if that could be the problem or not but it’s 500$ the pair and due to the pandemic I have to save for a couple months to fix it. I’ll definitely order the hub rings, any recommended brand? Was thinking that it could be the coil overs at first but after learning more about it, I don’t like to stand my car. I want it looking elegant like a Mercedes but being able to catch up any car.
For the kicking part, I definitely have a feeling that there is something wrong with the engine and transmission, for 7 years I’ve had a fun time with the car so it’s gone places it shouldn’t have. From having sand in the radiator to blasting 100mph on the beach and loosing the bottom plastic cover of the front crossmember due to a big bump in the road. I wouldn’t mind putting money and time to put a turbo kit in it or even engine swap it. But I can’t right now due to the pandemic, so I just want the car to run in a normal well state, it has 48k miles in its 7 years (which is weird because I definitely feel like the mileage should be near 100k). I’ll check the pressure switch low fluid level. Some friends told me that I should do a tune up but i don’t know how exactly what that consists off, it could probably solve the kicking but I doubt the suspension would be better. I just want to identify the problems and fix them in an economical way for the mean time.
This car has save my life countless of times without getting a single dent (with the exception of letting go of the break and accidentally bopping a white van. After pulling to the side the guy was high as a kit with 2 bags next to him so he just let me go lol) and have so many memories including the spoiler my grandfather got me before passing away. My family keeps telling me just to sell it but if it has put up with me and my crazy stunts for so long than it deserves to be saved. I could just sell it and buy an 2016 r-spec 3.8 in the future but the GT version has a more comfortable stock suspension than all the other models, in comfort it almost felt like driving a new Mercedes before it felt being jerked back while off-roading on a Jeep Wrangler with city wheels in the middle of the best roads I could find. I definitely plan on owning a Lamborghini in the future, but I will always modify my genesis coupe whenever I get the chance. Who knows, maybe someone in the future creates hovering tires like the delorean from back to the future 2 that only works in old cars, I would buy them in the spot lol. But in the meantime I’d like to be proud of owning my small slick genesis coupe, I would have picked a manual, but I had a near death experience when I first learned to drive and the car shot off in the middle of an intersection with a truck just about to ram into my left with the car coming in clutch last second. At first, an 8 speed automatic transmission can be a solid pain, but once I got the hang of sport and paddle shift mode, my car became a quick speed demon when taking off from second gear and has very kick pulls when the car is already moving, I’d like to reduce that 5.5sec 0-60 to 4 or 3 but I’ll have time in the future to make it my favorite daily drivable comfortable method of transportation.
@@MAGE0327 I would honestly have the other steering parts checked to just to be sure they arent bent at all. As for the hub rings I have plastic ones and they work fine for me I got mine from ESR wheels. I understand what you mean tho by wanting to keep the car I'd focus on getting it back in shape new plugs would probably help it a bit it's fairly easy to do as well. Do you ever run a fuel cleaner when you fill up on gas theh can help a bit as well. If you have been hard on it the CV joints could be going bad especially in that amount of time. Another culprit that can cause some issues with handling is wheel bearings but you would usually hear that problem as it gets worse like a humming sound while your moving. Honestly all I can really say about learning about the car is actually just diving in and trying it. Now I'm not saying RIP the transmission out or mess with the internals of the motor cause that's alittle bit more advanced but the more simple portions like new air filter,cabin air filter,oil change, spark plugs,Rear differential oil change and other small odds and ends. Cars although now a days are alot of electronic components such as sensors on sensors. All engines use a vacuum system and it doesnt take much to throw cars off with vacuum leaks.
@@RspecNick Ok, ordered the hub rings and they should be arriving tomorrow. I’m bringing it to a friends workshop tomorrow and will check the spark plugs, air filter and rear differential oil. I had an oil change early this year. I’ve never run a fuel cleaner, to be honest I didn’t knew radiator cooling fluid existed until a couple years ago, but my car has always had a full tank of cooling fluid since. I understand that the best way to learn from it is to dive in but I don’t have a workshop or the tools to fix them in my own, and since all of the mechanics kept telling me nothing was wrong I just gave up and have been using my car once a week to not risk it but keep the engine running from time to time as well. Thank you for the help! I’ll keep you posted
@@MAGE0327 sounds good man just let me know if I can help I will. Just dont give up on it just takes some time to learn just like anything else.
I have a 2016 Genesis coupe ultimate. Everytime I go to turn on my car my Radio screen takes forever to load up like now it’s doesn’t even load up all the way, any help?
Alot of guys have that issue usually happens before the radio dies. Did you get the radio software update?
@@RspecNick No , I tried but I had no clue to update it
@@_ayeebryann6892 apparently it happens more if you update it so I've heard mine is still the same software from 2013 even tho when I go to the dealer they bring up the update I'm just like nooo I'm okay
Its probably leaking around gas cap it runs down gas inlet to tank to back floor drivers side
Can anyone tell me where I can get that black rubber weather trim/molding that’s on the roof then goes to the side of the front windshield and then this little piece it connects to right in the bottom corner for the right side of the car please
Albert Hwang on facebook or the dealer for the windshield moldings
Albert Hwang is a very reputable seller. He also sells the parts a bit cheaper compared to the dealer.
@@adriancawaing622 the Korean Santa with his fast elf shipping for sure lol
My 2014 gps was replaced and after a month it started acting weird again. It blips in and out. The hyundai dealership is useless. Any ideas?
That's pretty common it's usually a bad screen for the navigation. Most times it will just freeze tho.
Where do you buy your after market stuff like the tail lights from? I wanna get some stuff for my 2.0 but don't know where to get anything from
So the taillights I got from redline360. I got the catback from enjunku racing. Throttle body spacer is from P2R racing its drilled for a meth port. My evo Prosport gauges I got from Prosport there the 52mm ones.oil cooler from mishimoto and rad from CSF. Since your a 2.0 you can get way more then me parts wise tho.
@@RspecNick Awesome! Thanks man! That helps a lot
@@dylanrednour1690 no problem man if have any other questions come back and ask away 👌
Never had any lockout or any grind your tranny is going my dude
My car was like that at 50k miles and is still the same at 101k. It's a common gen coupe issue.
Hello. I have a 2012 3.8 rspec. Has missfires. Changed. Fuel injectors 02 sensors spark plugs and coil overs clean mass air flow properly . About to change fuel pump. HELP PLEASE.
I did this to my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer & it never recovered from trying to change too many things out. I was told mine needed a new computer. Sold it for $1200
Mine wont accelerate past 20mph, but if i turn it off then on it'll work fine, until i get to 40mph. Any ideas what it might be ? :/
Almost sounds like its in limp mode
WHAT IS THIS BODY KIT AND WHERE CAN I GET IT?? And will it go on my 2.0t 2013?
It's the street aero kit and yes your body is the same as mine.
what coils/springs are you using?
Godspeed traction S springs but I'm probably going to switch to tein coils
What year is it and how many miles does it have?
2013 and just hit 72k miles
