This is still a significant problem with the 2012 Genesis sedan. The problem occurs when an after market battery is installed. The positive post is not the exact same diameter as the factory post. due to the odd design of the clamping mechanism, it is never fully secured even when the clamp retaining bolt is fully tightened.
I chose to modify the clamp mechanism by adding an additional piece of metal to the clamp, allowing the device to clamp/wedge tighter. This solution worked great for many years. Until I took my car in for servicing. The mechanic did not see the modification I made. Almost like clockwork, the car shut down on a low speed turn within days. Needles to say, I have replaced the metal spacer.
Genesis forum was also helpfull.
