Consumer Description
Approximately May or June of 2022 I noticed my 2017 Genesis g80 began intermittently hesitating and hard shifting when I was driving so being that I hadn't had it even a year I contacted the dealer and Genesis. I was told the warranty was up with Genesis and advised to contact the extended warranty by Carvana (the dealer). I did, but when they didn't have any shops in network who felt comfortable working on my vehicle and a recall came up with the vehicle I contacted Genesis again and was sent to an authorized dealer who fixed the recall and also agreed to check my transmission fluid to make sure it wasn't the issue causing the hard shifting. Now, the problem is back and on Genesis owner forum it shows it's actually a known problem that they issued a TSB about as of September 2021 and my vehicle falls in the effected vehicles, but I wasn't made aware of this and they only want to honor repair if vehicle is still under warranty not as a recall which is insane since it's a safety hazard. The hesitation can make someone run into the back of you or your car hesitate to accelerate and they've since upgraded to using a different type in their cars due to the issue. So, if they are going to allow them to be sold and resold either Genesis or the dealers need to be responsible for making sure they are safe and the defective parts are repaired before selling the car.
