I want to file a complaint regarding the recall issued for my car. I am concerned that Genesis has not issued a resolution at all and suggests parking the car. If it's unsafe and could ignite itself on fire, a remedy should be issued immediately. Offer us a different model and year or fix the issue. This is people's lives at stake.

Oil pressure light started to come on at idle, goes away while driving.. heard this has been and issue and even the dealership knows about it.. there is also a recall in Korea for the same exact thing for the same exact cars but no recall in the usa..please make this a recall it is not safe nor should this be over looked

While driving the engine simply stops and won't restart. When this happens, the key fob won't lock the car or unlock the trunk. The trunk opening button won't open the trunk. It just flashes the parking light and gives a sound.

At 63,230 miles the engine oil pressure light would illuminate on my 2017 Genesis G80. I took it to the dealer and the technician found the oil pressure switch on my car went bad and in the words of the mechanic was leaking internally. This is a known issue by Genesis/Hyundai as they are performing repairs in Korea (where this vehicle is built and assembled) for this very problem. But in America they are refusing to honor the warranty which under powertrain is valid for 10 years/100,000 miles. Proper function of the engine is clearly a part of the powertrain. The warranty further goes on to state that under engine, "gaskets and seals" are covered. The repairs I had to have performed at great expense for a failed oil pressure switch seemed clear to me under the warranty. Not only a known issue and covered where the car is made, but they seem to know they have a huge issue based on Genesis Forums and their complaints the numbers are large; they don't want to have to make it right for the owners.

The hyundai genesis and the genesis G80 have an oil pressure sensor defect. Practically, everyone i know with a genesis, in particular the 3.8 L engine, has this issue. The oil pressure sensor illuminates even though the engine oil level is fine and this issue can occur at any time regardless of mileage. I'd be surprised if this issue has not been reported to you all.
Dec 11, 2024
oil Pressure sending unit I tried to get it fixed at a local shop but they refused because it was too tough a job for their skill level, I was confused about s until I saw a video showing the sensor being under the manifold and between cylinders and someone had broken their timing cover while replacing. Driving with the faulty sensor could lead to not knowing if an oil pump has failed causing engine failure upon driving. problem has been confirmed have not taken to dealer for inspection, mostly because I have not had the money to pay for the job started around 68k miles, oil light went on.

The contact owns a 2017 Genesis G80. The contact stated occasionally while shifting into gear, the vehicle jolted, with an abnormal sound coming from underneath the hood. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired because the warranty had expired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Approximately May or June of 2022 I noticed my 2017 Genesis g80 began intermittently hesitating and hard shifting when I was driving so being that I hadn't had it even a year I contacted the dealer and Genesis. I was told the warranty was up with Genesis and advised to contact the extended warranty by Carvana (the dealer). I did, but when they didn't have any shops in network who felt comfortable working on my vehicle and a recall came up with the vehicle I contacted Genesis again and was sent to an authorized dealer who fixed the recall and also agreed to check my transmission fluid to make sure it wasn't the issue causing the hard shifting. Now, the problem is back and on Genesis owner forum it shows it's actually a known problem that they issued a TSB about as of September 2021 and my vehicle falls in the effected vehicles, but I wasn't made aware of this and they only want to honor repair if vehicle is still under warranty not as a recall which is insane since it's a safety hazard. The hesitation can make someone run into the back of you or your car hesitate to accelerate and they've since upgraded to using a different type in their cars due to the issue. So, if they are going to allow them to be sold and resold either Genesis or the dealers need to be responsible for making sure they are safe and the defective parts are repaired before selling the car.

Oct 09, 2020
BOTH FRONT CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX TIRES DEVELOPED SIDEWALL BUBBLES AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES ON THEM. THIS OCCURRED FROM NORMAL DRIVING.
Jul 16, 2020
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

Subject: Safety Concern Regarding 2017 Genesis G80 Dear NHTSA, I am writing to report an ongoing issue with my 2017 Genesis G80. While driving, I have experienced a significant safety concern related to the vehicle's acceleration. Specifically, when accelerating at various speeds, the vehicle begins to jerk abruptly and violently, causing a potentially dangerous situation on the road. After seeking advice, I was informed that the problem might be related to the engine malfunctioning or failing. I am deeply concerned about the safety risks this poses, both for myself and others on the road. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or investigation into this matter to ensure the issue is addressed promptly. Thank you for your attention to this serious safety concern. Sincerely,
[XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have a Genesis G-80 2017 There was a recall earlier this year and I took my car in for that repair about a month ago. As of 7/12/21, my car feels hot from the floor up. My air conditioner works fine When I park my car in the garage and close the door, it is so hot until I will leave the gavrage door open. The recall was for the ABS system to hae a fuse system replaced that could affect more than breaks (this is what I was told). Specifically, the car was at risk for catching on fire because of this fuse. My ABS caution light is on along with other warnings and because of the recall, I am having difficulty getting my car serviced. I called Genesis Corporate and he told me not to park the car in the garage and he asked if I needed numbers to other dealerships for repair. My concern is why sale something that you are not equipped to repair? I want it documented that this car was supposedly repaired, but clearly there is something else going on I am not sure what your agency's role is with recall, but this is a government agency so I am assuming that you guys have some checks and balances in place for safety. There is something else going on with these vehicles When my car catches on fire with me in it or while parked in the garage at the hospital where I work, I wan you to know. Thank You

Oil light comes on intermittently due to faulty sensor. Apparently this is a recurring issue for this model.

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.

When steering car to left 2 or 3 times some days it sticks and I have to yank it back. Obvious safety hazard and I see where other owners on car blogs/sites have experienced the same dangerous situation. Sounds like on chat rooms dealers and mfg. acting like they've never heard of such a thing. Time for a recall? I'm taking to dealer this coming Wednesday. They have a bulletin out I just saw on your website number 20-st-004hg which may be the fix. Isn't this a possible life threatening situation?Shouldn't this be a recall?

My trunk iced over and I accidentally hit the key fob to release the trunk. Next time I go to access the trunk, to my surprise, it does not open. I tried the key release, dash release, manual key unlock, and interior emergency trunk release - none worked. There was no way the to access the trunk. I had to wait a few weeks to take it to the dealer and I’m now sitting here waiting for the resolution. Either way, there is no time or circumstance I should not be able to access the trunk automated or manual; however, that is the design flaw case with this model Genesis.

Hyundai Motor America and Genesis Motor America are recalling my 2017 Genesis G80 vehicle to address a risk with anti-lock break system (ABS) modules because it could malfunction internally and case an electrical short over time potentially resulting in engine compartment fire. I contacted the dealership and they claim that do not have the required part to resolve the issue. Also they do not have an estimated delivery date for the part. Please advise.

REGARDING NHTSA RECALL REPORT #21V-160 THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONFUSING INFORMATION REGARDING ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY THE VEHICLE OWNER. IN THE SECTION DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY RISK IT SAYS THAT THERE IS A RISK OF A FIRE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS "PARKED OR DRIVING". IN THE SECTION DESCRIPTION OF REMEDY IT STATES "CUSTOMERS CAN CONTINUE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES". IT SEEMS BASED ON THESE TWO STATEMENTS YOU'RE TAKING A CHANCE OF A VEHICLE FIRE IF YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THE FIRST STATEMENT SAYS THE PROBLEM CAN OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND THE SECOND SAYS YOU CAN STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE. BASED ON INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES QUOTING GENESIS THE INSTALLATION OF A PARTICULAR FUSE, LOCATED IN THE ABS MODULE WILL PREVENT THE CHANCE OF A FIRE. I'M ASSUMING THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX SINCE GENESIS IS STILL TRYING TO LOCATE THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. CAN YOU ELABORATE ON EXACTLY WHAT FUSE SHOULD BE REPLACED. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND GENESIS NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THIS FUSE STOP-GAP MEASURE AND ARE REFUSING TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THE MATTER. AT THIS POINT, BASED ON THE INFORMATION IN THE NHTSA REPORT I AM AFRAID TO USE MY CAR. CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY WHETHER OR NOT I CAN SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE? CURRENTLY IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE TRANSPORTING MYSELF OR FAMILY. THANK YOU.

I was made aware that my car has a recall. I took it to the dealership (World Car Kia Hyundai North, San Antonio, TX) to get fixed and they told me that there is no remedy for it. I stressed to them that I was worried about my car and that I have a child that is always in the car with me. They told me to keep looking on google and that google would tell me when there is a fix. I would like a different car or my money back but it seems like they will not do that for me.

On May 9, 2023 @ 3pm. We were traveling at @60 mph when another vehicle pulled out in front of us. I hit brakes and swerved to miss the vehicle (which I did miss). I slid @ 350 feet, hit two divided highway medians/curbs and hit a concreted double legged (with at least 4 crossbars) stop sign with large solar panel and flashing lights. The front driver side of was crushed, the windshield and sunroof shattered as the solar panel and lights of the sign hit the car. The car was towed by the insurance company (Geico) and is awaiting their inspection. There was a police report/crash report created (Arkansas [XXX]) There were no warning lights or other indication of problems on the dashboard prior to the accident. The front passenger hit head on front and middle side beam and door glass. Has concussion. No airbags deployed and I don't think the automatic braking ever alerted or engaged.

Both passenger side tires had to be replaced. The car has less than 9,000 miles. Front tire had a sidewall bubble. Rear tire had a sidewall tear with metal showing. Service men detected tire defect during routine oil chage. I do not recall any incidents that would have caused these defects. I'm a 66 year old woman and don't drive carelessly. These tires were damaged too easily and with too few miles on them. Can I apply for any replacement costs? P275/35/ZR19 and P275/40/ZR19 The vehicle was damaged and repaired on 10/8/2020. There was no tire damage at that ime.
