2020 Genesis G80 Problems

PARKING VEHICLE AT 5MPH BRAKES DID NOT WORK, AND CAR SHOT FORWARD-HIT STEEL POST.

It is dead everyday and I have to jump it I noticed when I attach a power source it makes very odd noises. I feel the current recall you have on the g80 2020 may be the issue. It runs extremely hot wit no warning lights showing. I have had a lot of brake dust and the car is hot fast. Also issues with usb and when connected to phone it sound like crackling and volume sounds odd unless I unplug and replug. Replaced battery twice in a year

The contact owns a 2020 Genesis G80. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that rodents had chewed through the soy-based wire coating. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who provided the same diagnostic and repaired the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to dealer where it was diagnosed that rodents had also chewed through the starter wiring. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

The contact owns a 2020 Genesis G80 Equipped with Continental tires, Tire line ProContact Rx. Tire size 275/35R19, Dot number afbnd7vn2419, these two tires were located at the rear passenger side and the rear driver’s side. The contact also wanted to note that the passenger front side and the driver’s front tires also failed those tires were also Continental tires, Tire line ProContact Rx, tire size 245/40R19, the Dot number was not available. The contact 275/35R19 tires blew when a pothole was hit, and the tires also exhibited cuts these tires failures occurred on two separate occasions. The 245/40R19 tires also blew when pots holes were hit on the road and the tires exhibited cuts the contact also wanted to note that these tires failed on the third occasion.

The vehicle has 11,000 miles on it. I just drove from Boston, MA to Scranton, PA on Thursday 6/24/21. There were no issues and I did not hit any pot holes. On Friday morning we started driving and 3-4 miles away going about 40 mph, we noticed a problem on the right front. I pulled over and we noticed the tire was flat. I called triple A and took the car to a tire repair shop. The sidewall was worn all around the perimeter of the tire and it had a hole in the sidewall. I also noticed a bubble on the left front tire, thus both tires were replaced. I notified Continental and opened a claim with them.

I am reporting a recurring transmission/drivetrain problem that I believe may warrant investigation for a potential safety defect. Beginning in approximately May 2026, my vehicle developed a pronounced hard bump/jerk and shudder during transmission operation. The problem initially occurred primarily in 3rd, 4th and 5th gears and became more noticeable after the vehicle warmed up. The condition was significant enough that I took the vehicle to Genesis of Columbia/Silver’s Hyundai for diagnosis. On June 1, 2026, at approximately 90,223 miles, the dealer documented that they had “verified concern” and that the “transmission needs to be replaced due to internal failure.” The transmission replacement was initially declined by my vehicle service contract administrator, and only the torque converter was authorized. The dealer replaced the torque converter but documented that the condition was only more intermittent and that the vehicle “will still need transmission as originally diagnosed.” In August/September 2026, the transmission and torque converter were replaced but bump remained. The dealer then identified a bent front propeller shaft and replaced that as well. The vehicle continued to have drivetrain-related bump as before causing problems with acceleration. The dealer later raised a concern about different tire tread depths/patterns for first time after 8 weeks.The tires were the tires that came on the vehicle when I purchased it. The dealer told me that the tire condition “could cause a problem later.” I subsequently had the tires measured elsewhere, with tread depths of approximately 5/32” and 8/32” on two tires. I purchased 4 new tires and the problem got worse Of particular concern, a dealer employee also told me by text that they had “other G80 here with same problem that need transmissions.” I am not claiming that this statement establishes how many vehicles are affected only information that may warrant further investigation.
