2019 Genesis G70

  • Date of Incident: Apr-01, 2023
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-16, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE and POWER TRAIN

My engine auto start/stop feature. Yes its available for inspection. My safety and others were put at risk because this auto stop/start feature will shut the engine down comlpetely and teh system willm ake you do a full restart. I've had sveeral extreme close calls when i stopped at the light and this feature shut my car down completely and i was almost hit because i was stuck out in the middle of traffic. My car is at the service repair now. There were no warning lights at all, and upon looking online there has been several cars effected by this and genesis can't seem to pinpoint an exact problem. Many consumers have complained about this and genesis hasn't responded quickly enough given the safety issue.
