Driver and passenger seats recline back but do not come forward. Passengers cannot use seat belts
I have contacted Genesis multiple times about finding an authorized repair center to complete the recall there are none in my city or state they keep telling me that their site is down and that they will call me back but they still have not it's been two weeks I've called multiple times and have no resolution to the recall on my g70 On the website it says Hyundai dealerships should be able to fix the recall both Hyundai dealerships in Albuquerque Larry h Miller have refused to do the recall saying that they can't do it I've been told this is a pretty dangerous situation and my car can catch fire and neither the Genesis manufacturer or the Hyundai dealerships are willing to help me at all I did not buy it from a Hyundai dealership I bought it from Rich Ford as one of those certified used cars.
I'd like to note that I've seen a large amount of 2019 Genesis G70 RWD drivers make the same complaint as myself, the VSS completely and suddenly just stopped working. No heavy or hazardous driving to report. The VSS ties into the ABS, forward collision, and blind-spot safety cameras making them all inoperable.
