Consumer Description

The G80 is equipped with a bluetooth system that should read incoming text messages while in drive. (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxfPQ37jJbI&t=6s) Instead, after I select "Listen" the car tells me "unavailable while Driving." When I close this system message, the display shows the first several words of the text message - allowing me to read the message while in Drive. This is unsafe. My vehicle is not the only one experiencing this problem - see https://genesisowners.com/genesis-forum/threads/voice-text.37457/ for other reports and more details. I have contacted Genesis USA several times with no luck. I have returned the car for service multiple times with no resolution.
