Latest G70 steering complaints
While driving my Genesis G70 on the highway in rainy conditions, the vehicle repeatedly loses traction and hydroplanes at normal highway speeds. The car begins sliding across lanes with very little control. During a prior incident, driver-assist features (lane keeping assist) were active. Rain appeared to interfere with the sensors, and the system malfunctioned by steering incorrectly. The steering wheel became difficult to control, and the vehicle attempted to steer into another lane while traction was already...

compromised. The vehicle hydroplaned across multiple lanes of the expressway, creating a high risk of collision. The system's steering input did not match driver intent and made the situation more dangerous. The vehicle ultimately came to a stop near a wall but avoided impact. After this incident, I turned off the lane keeping assist feature. However, the problem continues. On a separate occasion, while entering the highway in rainy conditions, the vehicle immediately began sliding again, indicating an ongoing traction or stability issue even without driver-assist features active. This issue has occurred more than once and creates a serious safety risk to myself and others, as the vehicle becomes difficult to control and does not maintain proper traction in wet conditions.

Even with hands on the steering wheel when on the highway the car warns you to put you hands on the wheel. When accelerating using the steering wheel cruise controls the car accelerates rapidly going way faster than one would wish. Unlike most cars, the switch on the steering wheel does not lock in a speed when you release it when speedometer reads the desired speed. Instead the care keeps accelerating, the turbo kicks in and the g-force pushes you back into the seat. *Tr
I can feel a "popping" in my hands through the steering wheel when turning the wheel one or two degrees left or right. This happens when standing at a light (foot on brake), in park, moving less than 10mph, and even with the car off. The popping can also be felt below the stalks on the steering column. There is also a popping sound or "click" that is most easily heard when the car is off. It feels like the steering wheel is "catching something" in the first 1 or two degrees of movement before the wheels turn. The...

problem started after about 4,400 miles, in january of 2020. I have three videos of the issue so far. Hyundai genesis refuse to fix it, as their techs cannot diagnose what is causing the popping feeling and noise.
