On 01/16/22 at approximately 2305 hours, I was driving north on PA 743. I was traveling approximately 40 MPH in a posted 55 MPH zone due to snowy weather conditions. One adult was in the front passenger seat, 2 children were in car seats in the rear driver and passenger side. The road was level and straight. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, every warning light in the dashboard illuminated at once. The LED screen was rapidly displaying messaged such as, "blind spot monitoring system malfunction, smart BDS braking system malfunction, check smart high beam, check PSB, shifter malfunction, traction control malfunction, ESC malfunction, ABS malfunction, etc...". Immediately after traction control malfunctioned, the vehicle violently fishtailed, as if on the receiving end of a PIT maneuver, and crossed over the south bound lane. It continued off of the roadway and into a ditch, stopping several feet away from a fence. At that point, nothing was functional. Restarting the vehicle multiple times did not remedy anything. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. After approximately two months, Genesis USA advised they were unable to find any issues with the vehicle and it would soon be available to be picked up. Both the dealership and a third party(hired by Genesis) inspected the vehicle . The results of the third party inspection were unavailable.
