Consumer Description

I WAS IN A ACCIDENT SEVERE ENOUGH TO DEPLOY ALL AIR BAGS BUT MY STEERING WHEEL, I WENT TO GENESIS WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY INSPECTED THE CAR WHEN THEY EDR REPORT CAME BACK EVERYTHING MATCHED BUT THE MODEL OF THE CAR IT COMES BACK TO A GV80, ON MY GENESIS APP MY CAR COMES BACK AS A G90, MY CAR IS A GENESIS G80 THE MATTER CONCERNS CONFLICTING VEHICLE INDETIFACTION DATA ACROSS MULTIPLE OFFICIAL GENESIS SYSTEMS AS WELL AS A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY DURING A CRASH. TWO IDENPENDENT GENESIS SYSTEMS - THE EVENT DATA RECORDER EDR AND THE OFFICIAL GENESIS OWNER PORTAL ARE IDENTIFYING MY VEHICLE AS A DIFFERENT MODEL A GENESIS GV80 AND G90 DESPITE MY CAR BEING A G80. THESE SYSTEMS SHOULD NEVER DISAGREE ABOUT THE VEHICLES IDENTITY AS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY CRITICAL INFORMATION CRASH DATA WARRANTY TRACKING AND RECALL ELIGIBILITY.. THE EDR BOX SHOWING THE INCORRECT MODEL IDENTIFACTION .. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT DATA MISCLASSIFICATION AND A SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE THAT CALLS FOR A RECALL
