Tufast, I agree with you. This is disturbing and does not seem to be a quality effort. That list is reminding me of the Camaro list. While all cars have issues, HYUNDAI should be and needs to be doing it better. All they need is for some signature pieces (GEN COUPE) to get a bad rep and that is major disaster for them. People with lower means will always buy the OTHER cheap Hyundai cars as they have little choice, but if you want to move upmarket (Genesis brand) and reestablish yourself as a competitor to other cars like Mustang etc., you need to be better on quality. If you are on par with quality and near equal on price, what pulls you in? This is looking somewhat bad at this point, especially when you consider the car has been out much longer in KOREA, these issues should just not be there at this point IMO.

I am in wait and see mode for the time being. Hopefully buy next year, they will have the details squared away. The problem for me, there are just not many cars out there right now, and of those out there, very few are members here, so who knows how widespread some of this stuff is.

If the replacements are defective also, this is going to get ugly. That means that every GC on the road is going to get this eventually. This is the sort of stuff that makes consumers think Hyundai is junk. You can't have glass popping out of cars.....period. How could this not be a problem in Korea? Makes no sense, unless we just don't know about it.

As far as the bumper etc., I think all plastic molded bumpers are garbage fit. My Ridgeline was the same way. I just lived with it as it was my driver and not a show car.

Could not agree more, especially for the market they are trying to crack with this car. Too many proven cars to bring a car with quality issues to the table.
