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.

I am the original owner and when my vehicle reached approximately 65,000 miles just past the warranty the oil service light would come on sometimes then go out. i have had documented oil changes from my dealer approximately every 3500 miles. Everything seems to be normal in the car and the oil level checked on a regular basis is always ok. When the RPM rises above 2000 rpm the oil service light goes out and returns when the rpm is lower. After visiting a Genesis vehicle Forum web site which i subscribe to i discovered that it's a common problem many vehicles owners of the Genesis model particularly the G80. I am told that the remedy is costly due the need to remove the entire vehicle's intake manifold to get to the device and replace it which is causing the problem. This appears to be a factory device part failure as was explained to me and it may or may not fail within or after the warranty expires. Also whenever it rains my ABS warning light comes stating that the system is inoperable. Never comes on in dry weather.

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.

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.

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.

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
