2017 GENESIS G80 Complaints

2017 GENESIS G80, ALL WHEEL DRIVE, 3.8 L ENGINE. CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A 4 LANE EXPRESSWAY IN HEAVY, RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC USING ADVANCED CRUISE CONTROL SET NEAR SPEED LIMIT. G80 WAS IN THE LEFT LANE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT. THERE WAS A VEHICLE AHEAD OF THE G80. DRIVER NOTICED ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING UP FAST FROM BEHIND UNTIL IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE REAR OF THE G80. WHEN DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AWAY FROM TAILGATING CAR, ENGINE REVVED, AND DID NOT ENGAGE. IT APPEARED DISCONNECTED FROM TRANSMISSION AS IF IN NEUTRAL. TACHOMETER NEEDLE SWUNG WILDLY. VEHICLE SLOWED SINCE IT WAS NOT ENGAGED, CREATING MORE RISK FROM TAILGATER. THE TACHOMETER BEHAVIOR AND GEAR NEUTRALITY PERSISTED FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS AND THEN ENGINE ENGAGED. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE BEHAVIOR OR DETECT SYSTEM ERRORS AFTER THREE DAYS OF WORK. DEALER REPORTED THAT MANUFACTURER'S ENGINEERS WERE UNABLE TO RECOMMEND ANYTHING. NO REPAIRS MADE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GENESIS G80. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING LEFT TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS AND WOULD RETURN TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION AFTER MAKING RIGHT TURNS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INCLINE TOWARD A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. WHILE MOVING FORWARD AS CARS PULLED OUT OF THE STOP SIGN THE CAR LURCHED (SIMILAR TO IF YOU WERE HIT FROM BEHIND) AND ALL SCREENS WENT DARK AND ALL ELECTRONICS WENT OFF. EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS AND THE CAR PROCEEDED AS NORMAL.

THE CAR RANDOMLY DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN I PRESS THE START BUTTON. NOTHING HAPPENS. IT'S NOT THE KEY FOB EITHER BECAUSE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKS IN THE CAR AT THAT POINT. I CAN'T OPEN THE TRUNK USING THE BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR, LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS, NOTHING. THE CAR IS ESSENTIALLY A USELESS HUNK OF METAL. AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES THOUGH, THE CAR WILL JUST RANDOMLY TURN ON. I DON'T PRESS THE START BUTTON - IT'LL JUST TURN ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SO FAR.

TERRIBLE BLIND SPOT RESULTING FROM SIDE MIRRORS AND ROOF PILLARS WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. WORSE ON RIGHT TURNS. CAN'T SEE PEDESTRIANS. THE MIRROR AND ROOF PILLAR CREATES A 24 INCH WIDE BLIND SPOT. MAKING IT WORSE IS THE FACT THAT THE POWER SEAT DOESN'T GO HIGH ENOUGH FOR ME TO SEE OVER MIRRORS( I AM 5'8"). NO ACCIDENT, ONLY CLOSE CALLS AND SURPRISES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GENESIS G80. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY.

BOUGHT CAR AS NEW MAY 2018. 1 BLOW OUT AND 4 WOUOD BE BLIWOUTS IF I DIDNT SEE BUBBLE IN TIRES PROBLEMS ARE WITH THE FRONT TIRES 33 PSI IS INCORRECT ON ROAD BALANCE MACHINE I PROVED TIRES ARE UNDER INFLATED. I MADE HYUNDAI AWARE I OWN THE CAR 10 WEEKS IT SAT AT 2 DEALERSHIPS A TOTAL OF 3 WEEKS BETWEEN ORDERING TIRES AND FIGHTING OVER WHO'S PAYING FOR IT. I ASKED MANY TIMES FOR A REGIONAL MGR TO LOOK AT THIS CAR. THEY ARE TOTALLY NEGLIGENT. NOBODY LOOKED AT AND NOBODY DROVE. WHAT THEY SAY IS TIRE MFG SAYS THAT 33 PSI IS BEST PERFORMANCE AND BEST GAS MILAGE. ITS GONNA TAKE A FATALITY FOR SOMEONE TO GET INVOLVED AND CHECK THESE CARS OUT AND I GET THE FACT THAT THERE LOW PROFILE TIRES WHICH MEANS NOTHING. I HAD A 2013 CADILLAC XTS FOR 30 MONTHS AND PUT 65K MILES ON THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS. I WAS A. ADDILAC CUSTOMER FOR 20 YEARS AND USED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ONCE. I HAVE THIS CAR 10 WEEKS USED ROADSIDE 3 TIMES. BOTTOM LINE ITS UNSAFE. FOR SURE THE TIRES ARE UNDER INFLATED ITS A FRONT HEAVY CAR AND PROBABLY THEY SHOULD BE USING A DIFFERENT TIRE IF ANYONE GETS INJURED OR WORSE I SENT HYUANDI PLENTY OF EMAILS AND RECORDED PHONE CONVERSATIONS THERE BEYOND NEGLIGENT TO NOT LOOK AT THIS CAR. AND THEY PROMISE A GENESIS SERVICE LOANER WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP. NONE OF THESE DEALERSHIPS HAVE THEM. THE GENESIS EXPERIENCE IS THE GENESIS INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE BIG TIME BUYERS REMORSE.

THE OWNER HAS HAD TWO BLOWOUTS IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS. HE GOT THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2017. THIS IS JANUARY 25, 2018 THE CAR CAME WITH CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT 19" 245-45R/19" THE LOAD IS 98W. HIS 2017 G70 HAD ITS TIRES RECALLED. AND CHANGED. I FIND IT VERY SUSPICIOUS THAT ONE CAR HAD TWO BLOWOUTS. I LOVE MY HUSBAND AND I FEEL THAT THIS FACT HAS ENDANGERED HIS LIFE AND I AM ALERTING YOU TO A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM AND THIS WILL PERHAPS SAVE LIVES. I THINK THAT THE LOAD OF THE CAR IS TOO GREAT OR THE WHEEL BASE IS TOO LONG FOR THE TIRES, BUT I AM NOT AN EXPERT, I AM A WIFE
