Reading the numbers
Across the 7 model years of the Hyundai Genesis in this data, 2013 sits 4th by complaint volume. 2015 draws the most.
Filings have fallen off, 12 in the last three years against 30 in the three before. That is normal as a generation leaves the road.
The median odometer reading at the time of complaint was 35,000 miles.
In owners' own words
Multiple times I have accelerated the car to get onto the highway, change lanes quickly,and make right on reds, only to have it literally do nothing. At times it takes 2 to 3 seconds before it accelerates and then seems to have a tough time shifting through the gears.At low speeds the car seems to hesitate and shift poorly. Hopefully the dealer can do something to correct the issue. Engine
Vehicle has been stalling in traffic usually when coasting to a stop even on expressway creating a life threatening situation since the steering and brakes fail without engine running!! Has occurred several times over the course of the past week or two. Happened three times in relatively quick succession yesterday july 2, 2018 while driving home from work.

Car stalled immediately after starting several times in my garage. Let it overnight, and started it and pull out in the driveway where let the engine running while in park. Without warning lights the engine stalled after about 5 minutes. Re-started the car and the engine stalled again after about 2 min without any warning lights while in park..
