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.

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 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.

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
