This vehicle had been in the shop for over a month due to the emergency brake system freezing up causing my rear wheels to lock up, to smoke and rotors become damaged. Dealership could not find anything wrong as could not duplicate the issue. They did say that the EBS did engage while driving down the interstate at 70+ MPH. No reason why. Not normal! It was returned to me. Then 1 week after getting it back the vehicle started shaking violently when at speeds in excess of 65 for about 30 seconds. The RPM goes from 2 to 4 with difficult acceleration. When it gets back to normal, there is a definite clunk. Do not get any warning lights. Has happened 3 time in less than 2 weeks. Is not safe to drive! It is back at the dealership. Something is wrong with the vehicle. Have a video
While driving 45 mph on a straight stretch of a state road, I hit the brakes multiple times and decelerated so I could take the hard right exit and then make an immediate sharp left in a residential area. As I moved to the exiting lane, I turned on the right turn signal and eased off the brake. The car revved HARD, accelerated immediately and the cruise control icon + 58 mph began flashing on the display above the speedometer. I slammed the brakes to stop the car. I had not intentionally nor even accidentally turned on the cruise control (adaptive or otherwise) at any point during this trip or in any days leading up to it. I had been driving for just shy of 4 miles when this happened and had hit the brakes multiple times on this trip due to multiple sharp turns prior to the straight stretch. I was the lead car at various points in this trip, so if adaptive cruise had been on, I would’ve accelerated prior to this incident. Additionally, hitting the brake multiple times when I was traveling would’ve turned off cruise control had it been on already. We reported this to Genesis immediately and have awaited some closure, but they have been dismissive and unconcerned despite multiple points of outreach from us. We stopped driving the GV80 after a trip to the Genesis service center failed to provide any resolution. We are uncertain if the car is safe to drive and do not wish to chance it and would like some resolution.
