Genesis G80 Steering problems by year

and braking defects before returning it to me. Despite my repeated warnings that someone could be seriously injured or killed, I was forced to continue driving a vehicle that was unsafe. On June 24, 2026, while traveling approximately 20 mph, the vehicle suddenly veered right. The steering became unresponsive, and the brakes behaved abnormally, causing me to leave the roadway and fly into a ditch. I struck my head, and this crash closely mirrored the first defect-related crash on March 29, 2026. This occurred after four repair opportunities and after Genesis had actual knowledge of the repeated steering and braking failures. The defects remained unresolved when the vehicle was returned to me. NHTSA states that "vehicle safety is the top priority" and encourages consumers to report defects that create "an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety." I believe this vehicle presents exactly that type of ongoing safety risk. Two crashes involving the same unresolved steering and braking defects should warrant immediate review. I am also undergoing cancer treatment and have recently developed heart palpitations. The stress of repeatedly being placed in a vehicle I warned was unsafe is unacceptable. My life, my passengers' lives, and the safety of the public are at risk. Please associate this complaint with NHTSA Complaints #11714226 and #11730299 and investigate these recurring steering and braking failures before someone is seriously injured or killed.

including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, Driver Attention Warning, Lane Assist, and Master Warning have illuminated without cause. This vehicle has been presented three times for repair attempts specifically for these braking and steering systems and has been out of service over 30 cumulative days. The manufacturer was unable to duplicate or repair the defect and returned the vehicle unrepaired. On March 12, 2026, Genesis Corporate (Case Manager Terrence) stated they were coordinating with Genesis of Selma to schedule a fourth repair attempt. However, on March 26, 2026, Mike at Selma Genesis stated via text: "We as a dealer won't be working on your car." This directly contradicts Genesis Corporate and has prevented further repair attempts. On [[redacted]], while traveling approximately 55 mph, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of steering control combined with unintended braking, causing it to leave the roadway and collide with pistachio trees. Law enforcement responded. I sustained back and neck pain and sought medical care. The defect remains unresolved and poses a serious risk of injury or death.

NOT deploy, - The SRS system recorded a crash severe enough to trigger other airbags, - The vehicle now displays B1378, confirming an internal fault. The failure of the primary driver airbag to deploy during a crash is a critical safety malfunction. Combined with the presence of B1378, this raises substantial concerns regarding a defective airbag module, wiring harness, or sensor - all of which fall under manufacturer responsibility and federal safety standards. I am requesting the following: Immediate corrective action, including repair or replacement of all defective components. Documentation of this issue in your internal safety-defect tracking system. Given the severity of this failure and its implications for driver safety, I am also submitting this information to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for review. Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide a written response outlining the next steps.

impact with the steering wheel and dashboard. The lack of deployment has worsed the outcome 3. Not yet I am seeking a diagnostic scan from genesis - certified dealer to confirm the failure and identify any fault codes in the airbag system. 4. The vehicle is being assigned to an ajuster but not yet by genesis or nhtsa. I am requesting a formal inspection by genesis and will provide access to the vehicle. 5. There was no warning lights or messages prior to the incident. 6. I was navigating a turn when a deer entered the roadway I swerved and the front right wheel became struck causing me to strike an embankment. The control arm broke and the impact triggered full airbag deployment including rear seat airbags but not the steering wheel airbag based on the severity and location of the impact, the steering wheel airbag should have deployed. I believe this failure may be due to a sensor malfunction or defect in the airbag system. This raises concerns regarding the reliability of the vehicle's safety mechanisms, as the absence of steering wheel airbag deployment during such a significant frontal impact posed a serious risk to driver safety.

explanation without the expense of completely tearing down steering components. I noticed it first starting to occur after I purchased it used in October 2022. It still occurs multiple times a day.

2022 at mileage 47500. Selling dealer advised they were unable to service vehicle again as they no longer had the Genesis franchise. Was told to contact Fred Beans Hyundai in Doylestown PA. Contacted them on January 18, 2023 at which time the warranty was still in effect and advised service associate of the intermittent steering issue. Dealer could not service vehicle until February 27, 2023. Took the vehicle to them on February 27th for service. Service advisor said warranty had expired. This was true as of February 15th, 2023 not on January 18th 2023 when they were notified of the issue. Service advisor indicated they could not replicate the problem and therefore would not perform repair unless approved by Genesis. Over the past 6 months I have corresponded with Genesis Customer Service in an attempt to get the repair covered under warranty. I have been unsuccessful in getting this resolved. I continue to be told by the Genesis Customer Service associate [[redacted]] that the warranty group has not come to conclusion and that I must wait until they do. This is a serious issue that could potentially cause a complete freeze of the steering and cause a potential accident. I am requesting your assistance in getting this resolved. Marcela can be contacted at their Regional Consumer Affairs location [[redacted]] X [[redacted]]. The case number is [[redacted]]. The vehicle is available for inspection if necessary.
