2018 GENESIS G80 Complaints

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED JULY 2018, SINCE THEN IVE HAD 3 FLAT TIRES. THE TIRE ARE MADE BY CONTINENTAL TIRE COMPANY. THE SALESMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME HE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE CASES OF FLAT TIRES FOR THE CONTINENTAL BRAND. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER SALESMAN "THERE IS A FOAM LINING USE FOR VIBRATION DAMPENING WHICH HAS COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE". AT $ 400 PER TIRE, HE WAS BOTH CONCERNED AND HAPPY TO SEE SALES INCREASE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONE TIRE HAD A SIDE BULGE AND I DROVE WITHOUT NOTICING FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG,, THE OTHER 2 FLATS HAPPENED GOING OVER 1 POT HOLE.ON A SIDE STREET GOING 25 MPH. AS A RESULT I WONT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF IM GOING SOMEWHERE WHERE I EXCEED 45 MPH DUE TO THE DANGER OF GETTING A FLAT GOING FASTER.

OEM TIRES ON MY 2018 G80 SPORT ALREADY WAS SIDEWALL BUBBLES ON THE FRONT TIRES WITH LESS THAN 10K MILES. THESE ARE DEFECTIVE TIRES THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

CONTINENTAL PRO CONTACT TIRES HAVE BLOWN OUT 3 TIMES. THESE ARE DANGEROUS TIRES. THE SIDEWALKS ARE WEAK. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE TIRES. I DEVELOPED A BUBBLE IN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND DECIDED I DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH MORE BUBBLES AND FLAT TIRES AS I AM 80 YEARS OLD. I BIT THE BULLET AND PURCHASED $1000.00 WORTH OF MICHELIN TIRES BEFORE THE CAR HAD 2000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO HAD TROUBLE KEEPING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE ROAD NOISE FROM THIS TIRE IS ALSO UNEXCEPTIBLE FOR A LUXURY CAR. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TIRE RACK WEBSITE AND THIS TIRE SHOULD REALLY BE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GENESIS G80. WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED, THE CONTACT SMELLED WIPER FLUID INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (ROCKLAND HYUNDAI, 55 NY-303, WEST NYACK, NY 10994, (845) 402-8623) STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMED THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONDITION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,800. *TT CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER STATED OTHER CONSUMERS CLAIMED SAME ISSUE BUT THE DEALER REPORTED TO THE CONSUMER IT WAS NORMAL.*JB

LANE KEEP ASSIST (LKA) MALFUNCTIONING INFREQUENTLY. CAR FIGHTING MY CONTROL AND FORCING ME OUT OF LANE. HAVE TO FIGHT TO STAY IN LANE. EVEN AFTER DISENGAGING LKA OPTION CAR STILL FIGHTING MY CONTROL. HAVE PULL OFF ONTO SIDE OF HIGHWAY; TURN CAR OFF; EXIT VEHICLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. REENTER CAR AND RESTART ENGINE TO DISENGAGE LKA. HAVE TO NEVER REENAGE LKA TO AVOID DANGER.

CONTINENTAL TIRES ARE CHEAP AND PRONE TO BLOWOUTS AND SIDEWALL BUBBLES. I GOT ONE BUBBLE AND DEALER SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES.

ON 6/29/18, APPROXIMATELY 9:30AM, TEMP 85. GOING SOUTH ON I-25, AT 70MPH, I EXPERIENCED A RAPID EXPLOSION OF MY SUNROOF. IT EXPLODED OUTWARD, ALTHOUGH SOME GLASS CAME INTO THE CABIN. NO ONE WAS INJURED.

1)AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION - LOOKS LIKE IT IS WORKING IN 20-30% OF CASES, NEVER WORKING WITH PEDESTRIANS. SERVICE DECLARED EVERYTHING FINE, BUT REJECT DEMONSTRATE THIS. 2)LINE KEEP ASSISTS - PERIODICALLY DEPARTURE CAR FROM THE LINE, IT HAPPENS DURING PERFECT WEATHER CONDITIONS AND ROAD MARKUP. 3) VIBRATION IS AT THE VERY HIGH LEVEL, PERIODICALLY INCREASED AND SOME TIME GOES AWAY, EVEN WHEN CAR STAY. BY MEASURE 4-5 TIMES GREATER THAN IN ANY OTHER CAR. SERVICE TOLD - BECAUSE IMPROPER ENGINE MOUNT, THEY CAN'T FIX ANY INFORMATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. 4)CASTER IS OUT OF SPECS, SERVICE TOLD ALL G80 COMES FROM THIS DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY AND REJECT TO ADJUST -- DRIVING 5-6 DIFFERENT GENESIS G80 2017-2018 DURING LAST 4 MONTH, WHILE MY CAR WAS ON SERVICE AND ISSUE 1 AND 2 AND 3 CONTINUOUSLY REPRODUCED ON ALL OF THEM

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO TIRE SIDEWALL FAILURES (RIGHT FRONT AND REAR) RESULTING IN LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE AND THE NEED TO REPLACE BOTH TIRES (CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX). ONE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE OTHER WAS DETECTED WHILE PARKED. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE OR INJURY. THERE WAS LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON THE TIRES.
