Most Recent Complaints
My vehicle failed while in motion. I lost power to the vehicle and power steering. Just before the car failed, I heard a pop and a warning light came on that said "Check Electric Vehicle System". The car's ICCU failed and caused failures of the battery and 12v battery. My safety and everyone on the road around me's safety was put at risk when I lost the ability to accelerate or use power steering. The car was towed to a dealer and the dealer confirmed the issue. The ICCU failure and failure of the vehicle while in motion is directly related to a previous safety recall (025G) for which repair work was done on my vehicle. The recall repair was ineffective as the very issue it was intended to resolve still happened to me in a 1 year old car with only 8,000 miles.

On Feb. 2, While driving slowly in a school zone, with no cars in front of me, my car proceeded to abruptly brake over and over 5 times. The warning came on the dash "front end collision". I also had NO CONTROL over the car! I was extremely fortunate not to be rear ended during this event. At that time I immediately called my Genesis dealer who asked if it was snowing and often this can occur! What???? No it was NOT snowing and HOW could I drive a car knowing that this dangerous event can happen????? The Service Advisor was NOT very helpful, offered NO solutions and I was very scared driving my car home to say the least! Today, Feb. 3 (the next day following this incident) I called my Genesis dealer again asking for the Service Mgr. The car was now showed a warning light indicating a malfunction in the Active Air Flap system and the Service Mgr. informed me that the car is NOT SAFE to drive and they would tow it to the dealership.
