Oil sensor oil sensor in 2017 genesis goes bad & genesis knows it. When the vehicle is at a complete stop or is slowing down, oil pressure sensor comes on. Whenever you begin to accelerate, it goes off. Genesis already knows this…which is why they already issued a recall on “dh” body style models (like my 2017 genesis g80) in korea, where the cars are produced, but refuses to issue a recall in the us market. Upon googling i see that this is a common problem that an insane amount of people have also experience, again, enough of a problem to cause the korean market, where these are manufactured to issue a recall. It’s not covered under warranty & the sensor is located so deep in the engine behind the manifold, it typically is a $800–1250 repair for a sensor that cost less than $200 due to the labor involved to repair it, however some local genesis dealership quoted as much as $1600 to get it, replaced due to how much they charge per hour of labor. The quote from my local dealership in houston texas was $1250. This doesnt seem to be a problem w/ the new body style genesis vehicles but is for mine the 2017 genesis g80 (this body style is known as“bh” & was called the “hyundai genesis” in its 2015 & 2016 models, the 2017 model was 1st year as “genesis g80” when genesis broke off hyundai to be separate but its the same body besides the badge which makes sense why the problem continued into the 2017 & 2018 genesis g80) not only should this not be such a common issue where you have so many people talking about how it happened to their car (& who knows how many people this happened to who didn’t post anything online) but genesis owners in the us shouldn’t be on the hook to pay upwards of $1600 for an issue genesis already knows exists…which is why they already issued a recall on “dh” body style models (like my 2017 genesis g80) in korea, where the cars produced, but refuses to issue a recall in us market.. Clearly they know or wouldn't have issued recall in the korean market
