“Hyundai Motor America and Genesis Motor America are recalling my 2017 Genesis G80 vehicle to address a risk with anti-lock break system (ABS) modules because it could malfunction internally and case an electrical short over time potentially resulting in engine compartment fire. I contacted the dealership and they claim that do not have the required part to resolve the issue. Also they do not have an estimated delivery date for the part. Please advise.”
NHTSA complaint #11421688, filed 2021-06“The car randomly does not turn on when I press the start button. Nothing happens. It's not the key fob either because absolutely nothing works in the car at that point. I can't open the trunk using the button inside the car, lock or unlock the doors, nothing. The car is essentially a useless hunk of metal. After about 15-20 minutes though, the car will just randomly turn on. I don't press the start button - it'll just turn on. This has happened on 3 separate occasions so far.”
