2018 Genesis G80

THE GPS, RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRONIC NOTIFICATION SYSTEM ARE MALFUNCTIONING SUCH THAT THEY EITHER FREEZE UP OR GIVE ERRONEOUS INFORMATION BEGINNING WITHIN MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND THE DEALER' S SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH SIRIUSXM AND OUT OF THEIR HANDS TO FIX. HOWEVER, A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS NO EVIDENCE THAT SIRIUSXM IS HAVING ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND IT STILL WOULD NOT EXPLAIN THE WIDESPREAD ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER CAN NOT SAY WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED. I AM CONCERNED THIS ISSUE FORETELLS A POSSIBLE MORE SUDDEN, CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE AUTOMOBILE'S ELECTRONIC/COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES TO THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS. THE DEALERSHIP IS COCONUT CREEK AUTO MALL. 4960 NORTH STATE ROAD 7, COCONUT CREEK, FL. 33073 CONTACT [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR*DT*DT*JB

THE CONTINENTAL TREADWEAR 400 TIRES THAT COME WITH THIS CAR ARE DANGEROUS. I HAD ONE SIDEWALL BLOWOUT AT ABOUT 35 MPH AFTER LESS THAN 6000 MILES OF DRIVING, AND HAD THE REPLACEMENT TIRE, NEW, DEVELOP BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALL AGAIN AFTER LESS THAN 6000 MILES DRIVING, AND REPLACE THIS TIRE WITH ANOTHER BRAND. I CONTACTED CONTINENTAL TIRE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM, BUT HAVE TO DATE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. MANY TIRE REVIEWS ALSO POINT OUT THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GENESIS G80 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES, TIRE LINE: CONTI PRO CONTACT TX, TIRE SIZE 245/40/ZR19, DOT NUMBER: (NOT AVAILABLE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, A YELLOW WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE SIDEWALL WAS BLOWN OUT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK YOUR TPMS WARNING MESSAGE ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SOON AFTER THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD THE TIRE REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS PART OF A REPLACEMENT SET OF TIRES WHICH WERE REPLACED BY THE GENESIS DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE ON THE TIRE WAS 20,000.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55/MPH ON THE 210 FWY. WEST; I HEARD A JARRING POP/EXPLOSION. I THEN SAW BLACK FLYING DEBRIS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, I SAW THAT THE GLASS FROM THE REAT PART OF THE PANORAMIC ROOF HAD SHATTERED AND SETTLED INTO THE SHADE COVERING. I DID'T SEE ANY DEBRIS ON THE ROAD, OR ANYTHING TOSSED FROM ANOTHER CAR. THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT IS UNKNOWN. I DID ADVISE MY INSURANCE CARRIER OF THE INCIEDENT, BUT HAVE NOT YET FILED A CLAIM, AS I AM WAITING TO SEE IF THE DAMAGE IS COVERED UNDER THE CAR'S WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GENSESIS G80 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES, TIRE LINE: CONTI PRO CONTACT TX, TIRE SIZE 245/40/ZR19 N/A, DOT NUMBER: (NOT AVAILABLE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE RAN OVER A POTHOLE AND THE TIRES EXPERIENCED BLOWOUTS. THE TIRE WERE NOT THE VEHICLE ORIGINAL TIRES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE ON THE TIRES WAS 6,000.

DURING COLD DAYS, WHEN I HAVE THE HEAT RUNNING, IT FLOWS FINE WHEN SET TO UPPER BODY AND WINDOWS. WHEN THE HEAT IS SET TO FEET EXCLUSIVELY, IT FLOWS TO THE FRONT WINDOW VENTS MORE THAN TO THE FEET. SETTING THE FAN TO MAXIMUM, THE HEAT BLOWS OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW VENTS MORE THAN TO THE FEET. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GENESIS OF CHANTILLY VIRGINIA. THEY COMPARED THE AIR FLOW WITH A SIMILAR VEHICLE AND THEY REALIZED IT IS WAS BLOWING THE SAME WAY. THEY AGREED WITH ME THAT IT IS A BAD DESIGN AND NOTHING THEY COULD DO. WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER, DRIVER CANNOT SET THE HEAT EXCLUSIVELY TO FEET AT MAXIMUM SPEED, SINCE THE HEAT FLOWS TO THE WINDOW VENTS INSTEAD TO THE FEET. THIS CAUSES SEVERE HEADACHE AND DRYNESS TO THE FACE. THE FEET REMAIN EXTREMELY COLD WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GENESIS G80 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX TIRES, SIZE: 245/40R19 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES SHOWED BUBBLES ON THE SURFACE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE ORIGINAL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TETON HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 1350 YELLOWSTONE AVE, POCATELLO, ID 83201, (208) 417-0844) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN.

WENT TO THE DEALER TO REPORT A SMELL COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE AS WELL AS A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED EITHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CAR BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A REMEDY YET. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL. ON MY QUESTION 'WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF THE ENGINE CATCHES FIRE?' THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ANY CARS OF THIS MODEL TO CATCH FIRE YET. I WONDER WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN SO THE MANUFACTURER IS MORE PROACTIVE ADDRESSING AN ALREADY ISSUED RECALL WHEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT LIKE ENGINE FIRE COULD HAPPEN? SHOULDN'T NHTSA FORCE HYUNDAI IN THIS INSTANCE TO IMMEDIATELY REPAIR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES? DO WE NEED INJURIES AND DEATH IN ORDER TO TAKE CHARGE?

TIRES DEVELOPED BUBBLES IN SIDE WALLS ON TWO TIRE. ALSO CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS FOR THE SPEED LIMIT. ALWAYS FIGHTING THE STEERING WHEEL TO STAY IN LANE. I AM 80 YEARS OLD AND THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS OF FLATS AND LOSE OF CONTROL THAT I DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL THE TIRES. I CONTACTED HYUANDAI AND ALSO CONTINNENTAL AND WAS GIVEN NO SATISFACTION.ON GOING COMPLAINTS ABOUT ROAD NOISE ON THE OLD TIRES AND THE NEW TIRES HAVE NOT BE RECTIFIED.. MECHANIC SAID LOW PROFILE TIRES ARE THE CAUSE OF BOTH. CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED
