1. STATIONERY. APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE TIME WHEN I SWITCH GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE GEAR SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. IT TAKES 2-3 ATTEMPTS AND THEN FINALLY STAYS IN DRIVE. ONE TIME I HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND THEN SHIFT INTO DRIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT STAY IN DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH I AM PRESSING FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE AND AM PUSHING THE SHIFT BUTTON. 2. WHILE CAR IS MOVING. 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THE FOLLOWING HAS HAPPENED WHILE I AM DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. WHEN I AM DRIVING, AND I GENTLY APPLY THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO MAKE A TURN AND THEN ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE TURN AND MERGE ONTO THE STREET OR HIGHWAY, WITHOUT MY REALIZING IT THE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE GENESIS DEALERSHIP AND GENESIS CORPORATE HAVE BOTH INDICATED IT'S MY IMAGINATION AND THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE TIRES. I DEVELOPED A BUBBLE IN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND DECIDED I DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH MORE BUBBLES AND FLAT TIRES AS I AM 80 YEARS OLD. I BIT THE BULLET AND PURCHASED $1000.00 WORTH OF MICHELIN TIRES BEFORE THE CAR HAD 2000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO HAD TROUBLE KEEPING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE ROAD NOISE FROM THIS TIRE IS ALSO UNEXCEPTIBLE FOR A LUXURY CAR. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TIRE RACK WEBSITE AND THIS TIRE SHOULD REALLY BE RECALLED.
