  • Date of Incident: Apr-12, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-18, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I was made aware that my car has a recall. I took it to the dealership (world car kia hyundai north, san antonio, tx) to get fixed and they told me that there is no remedy for it. I stressed to them that i was worried about my car and that i have a child that is always in the car with me. They told me to keep looking on google and that google would tell me when there is a fix. I would like a different car or my money back but it seems like they will not do that for me.

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.

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

The vehicle started smoking dec 2023. Placed it in the shop and got a diagnostic finding out about the turbocharge oil pipe leak. Two days after i got the car out the shop a recall was issued for the turbo oil pipe genesis recall 019g. Called genesis corporate office and the case worker says it’s nothing they can do due to me being the 2nd owner and my vehicle is a fire hazard smoking , shutting off while coming to a stop or reversing. I have a car note and have not been able to drive my vehicle in 3months. This is an big inconvenience and genesis isn’t trying to accommodate me for my trouble. T
