- VIN: KMHGN4JE4JU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Whenever I drive long distance like 1 or more hours, AC has problem. It worksd fine in short local distance. I see a lot of drivers have the same issue if you click the link below. During the hottest season, it can become very dangerous. I live in San Angelo, TX, and there is no Genesis dealership in here. Hyundae dealership couldn't figure it out. The nearest Genesis dealership takes 3 hours from my house. I paid for extended warranty which will expire within 4 months, and its useless unless it can get fixed.

STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-05
- VIN: KMHGN4JE7JU
- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: Rear passenger door behind the driver side of vehicle will not open up it causes safety issues for passengers and not being able to exit or enter through that door. It is not an electronic problem as the other three doors operate correctly. This vehicle has only 52,000 miles.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-06
- VIN: KMHGN4JB2JU
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: When driving at night and using the headlight switch's flash feature, the headlights go out completely when in AUTO mode. In manual mode, the headlights will be constantly on bright and will not allow the lights to dim. I took the car to the dealership and they confirmed what I was describing and said that the multifunction switch is faulty. I had a prior year Hyundai that has the same type of switch and was having the same issues reported. A TSB was issued for that vehicle to have the multifunction switch replaced. Seeing as how these vehicles are the same exact vehicles (just under a different brand name) and are having the same issues, I'm wondering if the Genesis should be covered under the same bulletin.
ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-15
- VIN: KMHGN4JE7JU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Genesis issued the recall in mid-February and there is still not a remedy. We are supposed to park our auto outside and not in the garage. As we live in Florida and it is very hot and it is hurricane season, it is intolerably hot to park outside and, in the event of a hurricane or thunderstorm with hail, we cannot park outside without risking damage to our auto. It has been nearly five months since the recall which should be sufficient time for Genesis to have a solution to the problem. Also, they are not offering any compensation for the additional hardship due to having to park outside such as having to wash the car more frequently. I will also be contacting my congressman to followup with your agency.
STEERING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-18
- VIN: KMHGN4JE6JU
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: When turning, steering wheel sticks and does not return to center. It is necessary to use some additional effort to force the wheel back to center. No warning lamps or diagnostic trouble codes. Clear safety issue that has been documented by numerous other owners of the Genesis G80, and a known issue by Hyundai Motors / Genesis, as they will replace the Rack Mounted Motor-Driven Power Steering Assembly under the manufacturer's warranty. My vehicle is a few months out of warranty, with estimated repair cost of approximately $5k. For all owners of a 2018 Genesis G80, the warranty should be extended to cover this defective part, or a safety recall instituted. See Genesis TSB # 20-ST-004HG.

In terms of price, this car is unbeatable by any other manufacturer. It offers the same optional features as other car companies, but at a more affordable price. I have never been treated better by a dealer. As for reliability, stay tuned!
-
Super car. Excellent support from the dealer and manufacturer.
-
Only owned it for a month so far, but it's a great car and exceeding my expectations!
-
This is my third Genesis and I must say, it's a great value for money. The handling is excellent and it's perfect for taller drivers. Although, I faced some difficulty with the rear wheel drive and the 8-speed transmission during winter driving, the subsequent h track models have improved the snow conditions. Overall, it's a great car!
-
Fantastic overall vehicle! Just wanted to make sure you're aware of the extra valve cleaning required due to the GDI engine.

Trace Schaden 2024-08-13
The car has a lot of great features and a sporty look. However, I have experienced some issues with the front dash making noise and the cabin being too loud for my liking. Unfortunately, my local dealer has not been able to fix the problem despite multiple visits. While the service could be better, I understand that Genesis is still working to compete with other luxury car brands. Although the plastic dash does not meet luxury car standards, the car offers many features for the price. The seat piping, while attractive, can be uncomfortable during long rides. Overall, I paid 58k for this car and while I miss my previous Lexus dealer, I still appreciate the value that Genesis offers.
Devonte Rogahn 2024-05-26
I understand how frustrating it can be when the door locks don't work as expected. It seems that the lock door button can only be pushed when you are entirely out of the car, which can be inconvenient. Additionally, it appears that using the lock door button inside the car can cause issues with the remote start, automatic trunk opener, and garage door opener. The navigation system can also be difficult to use, and the cameras may not be calibrated correctly. However, despite these challenges, I must say that the car looks great and rides smoothly.
Hazle Brekke 2024-04-07
When we first got this car, the dealer had some trouble getting the tires balanced and had the car for over a week deciding what to do with it. Finally, they replaced 3 tires, claiming the road force was too high on 3 of the 4 tires. It's unfortunate that they didn't replace all 4. The tires have always flat spotted badly, so the first 15 miles or so in lower temps were miserable. The flat spotting has caused the Michelins to wear poorly, which means a lot of road noise. I've had the tires rotated at each oil service, but they have cupped badly. The rear end whines from 45 mph down to about 25 when slowing down. The speed control loses 2-3 mph on a slight grade before catching a gear or two to get back up to speed. The adaptive cruise won't let you get within a couple of hundred feet of the car in front, which means cars are constantly cutting in front and slowing the car. Unfortunately, there's no sensitivity setting for the adaptive cruise, and you can't shut it off, so you're stuck with it. The front parking sensors work about every 10th time you drive the car, with no rhyme or reason as to why or when they will work. The technology on this car would be fine if you wanted some Korean dude telling you how to drive, but if you don't like it, you're stuck with it. Despite these issues, the G80 is a great looking car. It's unfortunate that I've had so many problems with it. I'm surprised that there are so many 5-star ratings. I guess I just ended up with a lemon. The dealer seemed somewhat put out when we had the tire issue early on, so with all the other problems, I figured it was a waste of time trying to get them fixed. I received a couple of quality surveys after I got the car, and when I addressed the issues I was having, the surveys stopped. I can't wait to unload this car.
