Best and Worst Hyundai Genesis Coupe Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 7 Hyundai Genesis Coupe model years from 2010 to 2016 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 156 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2014 — 23 complaints, 0 recall campaigns
  • 2016 — 102 complaints, 5 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2011 — 145 complaints, 3 recall campaigns

Most owner complaints

  • 2015 — 306 complaints, 6 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2012 — 270 complaints, 2 recall campaigns
  • 2013 — 195 complaints, 0 recall campaigns

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
