NHTSA Complaint #11630136 — 2022 GENESIS GV80

Driver's bottom seat is so uncomfortable and stiff that it is cutting off blood supply to my extremities after only few minutes of driving now. I have numb feeling in my feet and toes. I am worried that this will reduce my ability to brake (stop the car) correctly in case of emergency. It feels like sitting on two very uncomfortable metal bars that are penetrating into your [XXX] and cutting off your blood supply. Over time your entire body is exhausted requiring you move in your seat a lot, even when driving at highway speeds. Both of these are major safety concerns for me. Issue started on date of purchase and progressively got worse over time. Car was taken into dealer for assessment in Ogden, UT (my nearest service center) to be told verbally on the day of service that they found and made adjustment to massaging air bars since my seat has this option and that it should be better now. Due to not getting correct part for unrelated problem that was being fixed on the same day, dealer held onto my car for several days for repair. When car was delivered to me I was surprised by the comments they made on the paperwork that nothing wrong was found with the seat. Additionally the seat issue was not resolved with same problems as before. During my visit with the dealer and several communications with Genesis customer service team I tried to point out in different ways that other Genesis GV80 owners are complaining about this same issue on their Prestige models and that there are on-line forums and comments proving it. One of their customers was even told by Genesis customer service that they are aware of the problem but Genesis will do nothing to fix it. I was personally told that this is not a warrantable item, that it is basically a comfort issue and that they would not cover the replacement of the seat. I have proof of everything I have stated above: emails, links to other Genesis owner forums with the same problem, invoices from dealer etc. Please help me.
