Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING DURING HEAVY RAIN ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE CAR BEGINS TO FISHTAIL OUT OF CONTROL. IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO DROP THEIR EXPRESSWAY SPEED TO ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR. ALL THE OTHER TRAFFIC CONTINUES TO PASS BY SAFELY AT SPEEDS OF 60 TO 65 OR MORE. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IT BEGAN, I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI WHEN I WAS FORCE TO DRIVE SLOWLY IN THE RIGHT LANE AT ONLY 40 TO 45 IN A 70 MPH ZONE. IF I DARED TO EVEN TRY TO GO ANY FASTER THE CAR WOULD BEGIN FISHTAILING. NONE OF THE OTHER TRAFFIC HAD ANY ISSUE GOING FASTER, AND I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN THE 2013 GENESIS I HAD PREVIOUSLY. I HAVE READ OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR IS REACTING TO ITS FRONT SENSOR BEING 'BLINDED'. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW, AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY WAY TO DISABLE OR INFORM THE CENSOR TO IGNORE THE PRESENT SITUATION.
