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.
