 Trying to shift into any gear during cold climates is very difficult and sometimes impossible on the first attempt. multiple gears grind when going into gear specifically 5th and 6th gear, occasionally 3rd. i took it to a hyundai dealership to get fixed and they said there was nothing wrong with it. this is a well known problem among the genesis coupe community and hyundai refuses to acknowledge they have a problem.

 Transmission is difficult to shift at times mostly into second gear. this can cause a rapid deceleration in traffic and i have seen the vehicle behind me do a nose dive hitting the brakes because my vehicle disrupted traffic flow. entering fast moving traffic is also a concern for this very reason. dealer has replaced transmission several times with no change in transmission behavior.

 I was driving heading southbound on the avenue and the vehicle in front of me braked suddenly and had no time to brake without hitting the vehicle in front of me. i tried to brake the most i could but did not make it so slammed into vehicle in front of me. it was a very hard impact and none of the airbags in the vehicle went off, so due to the whiplash my mouth hit the steering wheel and broke my bottom lip. i had my seat belt on so noother injuries occured besides my ankle sprain from the jam of the accelerator with the center console. as soon as the crash occured the car started going into smoke so i was scared and decided to get out of the vehicle before it might blow up. i forced myself out of the vehicle and put the car in teh gear of park and no longer than two seconds later that i was out of the car, the car started to head in reverse on its own quickly! i did not even have a chance to close the door since i had just jumped out and went onto oncoming traffic and crossed the median and went across traffic onto the incoming traffic side and did not stop until it hit a wooden fence. this was the first time it had happen thatt it was on park and went reverse on its own, it was not safe at all! the vehicle was damaged all over and broke the property fence of the public park. parts are being replaced and the car is in the body shop to be fixed.

 I own a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe. it has multiple problems. the transmission was replaced at 4200 miles and still experiences problems (lurching when put in gear). the paint has had to be refinished, the bluetooth radio function is intermittently broken, traction control does not work on occasion (dash illuminator light indication). i have repeatedly filed complaints with hyundai corporate regarding the traction control issue. after filing the initial complaint and following up 4 times over the course of a month, i have yet to hear back from them. the traction control turns off, and cannot be reactivated (particularly problematic when we

 The manual transmission in the 2010 hyundai genesis coupe is very problematic. very often the gear selection is rejected not allowing the operator to up shift or downshift. second gear and fifth gear are the worse. grinding often occurs when shifting into 2nd gear or 5th gear. i was merging into traffic on interstate 495 in massachusetts when my car would not shift into 5th gear. the transmission simply started to grind. when merging into traffic at 50-60mph an operator needs to shift from 4th to 5th and i could not. i had to quickly downshift into 4th gear to try and keep accelerating. any shifting into 5th gear after approximately 3,400 rpms resistance and often grinding will occur. this can very easily cause an accident, expecting to be able to shift into the next higher gear and not being able to do so. i have taken my car to a hyundai dealer and they could not replicate the problem. i took the service tech for a ride and the car ground into 5th, and i was then told this is normal operation of the transmission. hyundai does not want to remedy this problem, and eventually many genesis coupe owners with manual transmissions will be using lemon law protection to have their cars fixed.
