On 01/16/22 at approximately 2305 hours, I was driving north on PA 743. I was traveling approximately 40 MPH in a posted 55 MPH zone due to snowy weather conditions. One adult was in the front passenger seat, 2 children were in car seats in the rear driver and passenger side. The road was level and straight. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, every warning light in the dashboard illuminated at once. The LED screen was rapidly displaying messaged such as, "blind spot monitoring system malfunction, smart BDS braking system malfunction, check smart high beam, check PSB, shifter malfunction, traction control malfunction, ESC malfunction, ABS malfunction, etc...". Immediately after traction control malfunctioned, the vehicle violently fishtailed, as if on the receiving end of a PIT maneuver, and crossed over the south bound lane. It continued off of the roadway and into a ditch, stopping several feet away from a fence. At that point, nothing was functional. Restarting the vehicle multiple times did not remedy anything. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. After approximately two months, Genesis USA advised they were unable to find any issues with the vehicle and it would soon be available to be picked up. Both the dealership and a third party(hired by Genesis) inspected the vehicle . The results of the third party inspection were unavailable.

In the last 8,000 miles the car has stopped cold (about 15 times) when pulling out from a stop. When pulling out the car goes about 3 feet and stops dead. The gas pedal is dead for 1-2 sections, then it responds. The car has almost killed me and my wife several times. The car is under warranty and has been to dealer's service departments 3 times. They claim the computer does not show anything. They refused to attempt an inspection or do any repairs since they can not reproduce the problem and it does not show on their computer. I has contacted costumer service and have no success. THIS IS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO KILL PEOPLE. This started happening soon after we purchased the vehicle on 02/15/20 and persists to 10/10/21.

Manufacturer communications
A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.
AIR BAGS
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued an urgent safety advisory regarding dangerous, counterfeit driver‑side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. (DTN), that have been identified in U.S. vehicles following prior crashes, theft, or non‑certified airbag replacements. These inflators are not approved for use, may rupture during deployment, and have caused serious injuries and fatalities. Please see attached announcement, provided by NHTSA, for more details.
AIR BAGS
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified the presence of substandard and dangerous driver’s-side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. (DTN). These inflators were not supplied, approved, or authorized by the vehicle manufacturers and have primarily been found in vehicles that previously experienced a crash and underwent airbag replacement using non-genuine parts. These dangerous inflators have ruptured during deployment, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to metal fragments entering the vehicle cabin. To date, Hyundai is aware of three people who have died while driving a Hyundai vehicle with one of these substandard replacement airbag inflators that deployed in what likely would have been a survivable crash. NHTSA has issued a public advisory urging vehicle owners and service professionals to have vehicles inspected if there is reason to believe that a non-genuine replacement airbag may have been installed. Vehicles with salvage or rebuilt titles, prior airbag deployments, or unknown repair histories may present a higher risk. NHTSA strongly cautions against self-inspection by vehicle owners and recommends inspection by trained technicians.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
This bulletin provides information regarding condensation related to the accumulated moisture in the headlamp, rear combination lamp, daytime running lamp (DRL), or fog lamp. This TSB illustrates the various causes of condensation inside the lamp assembly. Lamp assembly replacement is NOT necessary in most cases. This condition can be eliminated by turning on the lamps with the engine running for several minutes or during normal driving operation.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Certain Genesis vehicles may experience an inoperable horn from moisture or carbonization at the contact point. This bulletin provides a guide to inspect and replace the horns.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Some vehicles may exhibit a loss of connectivity or interruptions in the middle of using Bluelink Service functions. This may be due to an irregular disconnection on Verizon's communication network. If you are experiencing issues with remote commands, or other Bluelink services, please see the instructions below to reestablish the connection via the AVN pinhole reset method.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
