Is The Genesis Coupe Reliable?

My man really films a car video next to a cemetery.

My genny has 123000 miles and she runs like I drove out the factory yesterday 2012 grand touring 3.8

I bought a manual BK2 and had second gear lock out. I purchased and installed the megan racing trans mount and it fixed the lock out. The problem is the stock trans mount cant hold any power you can literally flex it with your hands. So under power everything becomes miss aligned causing the lock out. 90 bucks and maybe 45 mins easy to do yourself.

I have a 2011 Gen Coupe with over 131k miles on it. It still runs like new and has been one of the most reliable cars that I have ever owned. I just added a Veloster N to my stable.

You should probably flip the fins my man, just so they function better as apposed to looking better. Either way, the kit does look sick af, keep it up 👍

My car had the same ticking sound issue. Changed the wheel bearings and the issue resolved.

Man you should get to 100k like.. good content and details man!!

I think if you flipped them, it would flow with the side skirts better. It just looks out of place like it is right now looking from the side

Amazing vids bro best genesis content on the tube 👍

The one I have (2010 )(automatic) is salvage from copart . It had 80k miles when I got it and now has 120k mostly highway miles . And the only change I did was the struts and wheel hubs .

I’ve had my 2013 track 3.8 for a year and no problems, I’d always hear people talk shit saying they ain’t reliable but I just wanted a different car. I love it

Yo bro i finally got the SFR tune for my 3.8 and a tune is a def must, get it soon! 0-60 wayyyyy better trust

Great video my man. I'm 85K currently and bought it at 50K. Checked the history and no repairs from the first owner and none with me either. Love this thing to death.

Greetings from a BK38 owner. i own this car since 9 years, loving it

Man. Hit the nail on the head with those issues. Mine is starting to get up there in miles (122k) , and its been reliable, but the water leak, the 2nd gear lockout, and the door handles paint flaking off, all have happened to me now. Gonna wrap my inside handles on the doors also. Keep up the vids. Your my go to for Genesis stuff on RU-vid. Mine is the 3.8 rspec.

I love my Genesis Coupe The whole time that I owned her she has not been my daily driver when I do take her out she gets driven hard like I said before The only issue was the differential bushings failed I replaced them with the ISR polyurethane ones and it has the fourth bushing I'm not going to lie It was a total pain to replace them

My SPECD taillights started getting moisture in them almost exactly a year after I put them on. i think how the trunk water practically runs onto the gasket makes them fail fast. Another potential source of leeks in the trunk would be the factory spoiler gasket.

Damn this kit looks sick asf 🔥🔥🥵

Thanks for this video cause I was doing my research on the genesis coupe bk2, if you can tho.... possible, at least continue to upload once a week cause I’ll stay subbed that way, I’m subbing to a few 3.8 bk2 and most likely others so I can get different views and different ideas, great video man much love

you forgot about the break lamp illuminator switch it can keep the car from starting (can be over ridden by holding button for 15 sec) also kind of dangerous if people don't see you breaking. there was a recall for early cars still didn't really fix it.

Bro this combination of colors goes so hard. What a beautiful car

if you havent fixed your noise at the front of the car, easiest way to check a wheelbearing is to jack up the corner and try and rock the wheel left and right and up and down, it it has any play, even a little it will need a wheel bearing

Im Getting a 2013 3.8L GT soon 😍😍 can't wait

I got a 2011 gen coupe 3.8, 3years old (lease back). It is now almost 12 years old and 150,000 miles and has been trouble free. I will never sell it. Love this car!

Wheel bearings make a hum when needing to be replaced.

I got Megan trans mount, engine leash and ATQ short shifter with solid bushings and eliminated 2nd gear lockout. I can downshift to 2nd at 5k rpms. Feels crazy And and get loud pops

try to check for some rocks in ur tire tread mine were making a ticking noise after i got new wheels. Might not be the same noise or problem but its a free fix and worth a look.

Had the water leak also, and the tail light gasket deal fixed it

My Genesis Coupe is 10 years old The only issue I had Is my rear end bushings failed

Sick gen!

The water bit in the trunk was an easy fix. I'm a mechanic took me 30seconds to find the issue and just a little permatex had no issues. The problem is in the frame lines, there's a small gap above the tailight.

20k+ miles in over a year and mines going strong even after a near total loss crash

Now I want one. Love the look btw

Hey bro you gotta get you those lightweight pulleys next you can feel so much difference

Had my 2013 2.0T for two years now and put about 35k miles within the same time. Sitting at 96k as of now. Proper maintenance goes a long way in keeping a vehicles lifespan going.

Had my 2011 3.8 Track for over a year and the only problem I had was the timing chain stretching.

I appreciate what your trying to tell everyone about the car. I'm in the market for one as it ticks all the boxes. You need to lay off the red bull and allow some pauses and time to breathe in your videos though.

Broo definitely wanting a 2.0t more now 🤤

146xxx on my 2010 2.slow and she's still doing good. Only issue I have is my lsd doesnt always lock. But that's me not being easy on her.

Idk if you figured out if it was the bearings or not but Jack the tire up and try to wobble it. First up and down then left to right

Hmm that’s weird; I got a BK1 and my stock wheels are fine and no colour is peeling on the inside. Living in Montreal so winters are really hard on the wheels and summer sun is really strong on the interior but I guess tinted windows maybe helps? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Watched a few of your videos btw, nice car dude 👍🏻

They have a plasti dip removal spray. But if you want to protect it you're gonna want to ceramic coat the wheels

2010 coupe 3.8 track- car has been amazing for 5 years now I did have to chance co presser for ac. Other than that regular maintenance but if u get in a accident expect to pay about 3k to fix ur front bumper and shit

Btw. If you go to Discount Tire they will get you the right hub ring size.

Car covers help for people who don't have a garage. I have two cars in my garage and 7 cars in the driveway. Covering some of the older ones definitely helps keep the direct sun off the interior.

My front right makes a weird pulsing sound too. Hyundai said it's mechanically perfect. It's very strange. Hope u figure out what's wrong

Keep it that way!!

this car's design never get old

Looking for my first car and I fell in love of this one. Such a beauty.

I’ve heard that most Hyundai’s are very nice brand new but don’t last because of the poor build quality. I’m not entirely sure but that could be part of the problem.

Bro your car is so clean!!! I have a question for you though? Do you have a instagram ?

To measure for hub rings you need a digital caliper. The stock hub on genesis coupes is 67.1mm. You need to measure the bore of the wheel. I order 3 sets unsuccessfully before measuring, save yourself time and money and measure it.

Sick lights where did you get them?

I have a 2012 genesis coupe 2.0t R-spec with 112,500 miles and she runs pretty good, has a few issues but, it's more cosmetic than actually mechanical, BUT I do have to get a new sync for the transmission. I did buy it like that so 🤷‍♂️

If you have to keep it on the sun, just protect the interior plastics and trims with the rigth products :)

No idea if this will get answered but now it being 2020 and so many inexpensive cars having so many amenities like cooled seats, apple car play, and blind-spot assist, and more that I can't think of. Do ever miss those features. I drive a 2015 Kia optima sxl (the only reason I say trim is bc it comes with all those features) and I've been looking at the Genesis Coupe. I know its different for everyone, some just like a car bc of the experience others because of the interior stuff. I have my foot in both camps, I like being able to roll down the window and hear the motor but also being able to listen to music and a good sound system.

You need that new grille.

After searching for an entire summer I found the perfect genesis coupe with 80,000 miles on it, clean record and 1 owner. It was for sale at some dealership in Virginia. I flew out to Virginia (from Minneapolis) and when I got to the car, I was told the car had been in a collision and been rebuilt. I test drove it and the engine didn’t feel like it was properly secured, and it shook the entire car whenever it was on, I did not think it would make the 1000mile drive home so I told the guy I wasn’t interested and we left. We were then stuck in Virginia but luckily there was another 2012 bk1 just a mile away so we got an Uber and checked it out. This one felt a lot smoother but had 120000 miles on it which was a little more than I would have liked. He wanted 11,000$ for it and we got him down to 8500$ and it made the drive home. Overall I love the car but it has had 2 expensive repairs in the 5 months I have owned it.

Hey man, love your videos. Just recently bought a 2013 3.8 grand touring and your channel helped me pull the trigger. Just curious if you still run the throttle controller, and if you've had any issues with it? Thanks!

if you ever get bored and tired of that tail lights lmk !!!

Yoooo you are right at boonesborough by the river! You live in Richmond?

you should mod that front bumper. i did mine at it took about 3 to 4 hours but it looks so much better.

good content :)

Im the 1000th like ☺️☺️😂 nice video!!

EthanW, I am thinking about getting the 2012 3.8 Genesis Sedan. Are the coupes and sedans on the same level reliability wise?

Wheel bearings - I doubt it. It has sealed bearings, so you normally wouldn't be able to "hear" the issue. Bad wheel bearings on most other cars, it would sound like a bag of marbles.

That Genesis looks really good

Sounds like you had an unlucky one. How old is this GC? My 2016 I bought and owned since day one hasn't had any problems to this day (2016-today in terms of ownership) Not even the paint peeling or the wheel peeling. I park mine out in the hot sun too. Maybe using the sun visor for my car everyday is what saved it.

When are you going to upload a new updated mod list with the prices ?

Anyone had problems with the break lights i cant figure out what it is ... ive checked the fuses its not that

For looks, fins dont matter where they go. The fins are supposed to stick out in the flow of air to be functional. Personal opinion: the more perfomance things you add to your car that arent going to be used as intended, the uglier it looks.

Have you ever heard of one that Boggs down in forward but runs great in reverse

i had a 2013 genesis coupe for the past 3 years and have literally only spent money on oil changes

The car looks good the way it is

I've had my gen coupe for 11 years (bought new) , and have never had paint pealing off the stock wheels. I daily it all year round... I live in snow country.

I own this car too it’s most likely the noise is from the timing chain they tend to tick a lot it’s not bad but it usually happens and wheel shake does tend to happen mostly at 60 mph it can’t be from tread wear or unbalanced wheels a good alignment fixes a lot and then hub centric rings will help .

My genny has the same problem with the shaking and that’s the only problem

I’d say just leave it. They look dope!

Can you do some donuts in the next video?

Have any of your mods like exhaust, manifold riser, or intake caused the check engine light or any others to come on?

Don’t be lazy and flip the fins man 🤣

I’m trying to get a genesis with around 83k miles

Yeah the point of it sticking past the tires is legalities. The tires can't be the widest. It only takes one pissed off statey

For me, no. Front brakes blew up at 60k miles. Never been driven hard. Cost me a small fortune to fix. Sold her for a 2006 wrx, even more unreliable 😎

What's the brand name of your mags/rims?

Have a 2010 bk1 and currently has 85k miles (got it with 72k) has been good, but has had this code that doesn’t seem to go away. The code is p0024/p0025. The check engine light goes on and off and was wondering if anyone has had this code. Any tips help. Thanks.

I am confused between the Genesis coupe (2013-2016) and Accord V6 coupe (2013-2017), both automatic. Which is better for a college student?

I don't even have to watch this to answer that. YES.

how many miles do the 09 and 10s go up to

Where’d you get the wheels?

The tick is the bearings

Get a caliper and measure your rim hub bore, stock hub bore is 67.1

I had to change my wheel bearings at 120,000 miles. Easy and cheap install

Is A 2011 genesis coupe 2.0 r spec for 9 gs too much? Is the car reliable? 120k miles

do you have the brand of spoiler and diffuser? also slave cylinder on standard goes out....

I recently bought a 2016 Genesis Coupe 3.8, but I'll be honest I don't know much about cars, and I want to learn. What would you suggest to be the best way to learn about mods and such?

My Genny has a weird slipping in the second gear. I thought it was a transmission issue, but no one can identify the issue. It comes randomly for me.

diffusers arent for looks. install them correctly

In the ten years that I've owned my Genesis coupe 2.0 T I've changed the tires, one hub bearing, and one major tune up. K&N Air filter, along with a K&N oil filter at 123k miles, the car is die hard. But on long road trips I rent a car now. Road trips over four hours.
