"Acceleration failure" - Genesis phraseology

My 2018 G90 has an acceleration problems which the dealer and "engineers" at Genesis acknowledge but will not help with or repair. Upon abrupt acceleration, like making a left turn in traffic, the car hesitates for three terrifying seconds before it lurches forward. In addition when attempting to accelerate from a stop it is very hesitant to move forward when called upon. I find this highly unsafe and infuriating. The dealer told me quote " WE were able to locate (on computer) the acceleration failure you experienced." "This is simply how the car operates, new tech knowledge, ya know ?" "You are going to have to get accustomed to this idiosyncrasy of the car." The people at Genesis Customer Care, after 5 days of research, claim that their "Engineers" are aware " of the hesitation problem" and that is the way the car operates. I was very unhappy and hired an attorney and am proceeding on my journey> I want the car to go when I want it to. Fair request?

The critique of numb steering on highway is misleading. The steering can be adjusted to sport without affecting other qualities.

Over the years, this is my third Hyundai/Genesis vehicle. I traded in a Sonata @135,000 miles. Still have the "first generation" Genesis @97,000 miles, and going strong with zero issues. Finally, bought the 2018 G90, and it's exactly "as advertised"! After a little over a year, we've been very pleased with all aspects of this vehicle. "Road Trips" are great in this comfortable, quiet, and easy to drive vehicle. No issues at all - except maybe getting someone to drive, since the back seat is really the place to be!

I found the conservative exterior design to be a little too conservative. If so, the interior made up for that very quickly. Rather than describe the interior as conservative, I would describe it as classic, and I mean that in the best possible use of the term. It was so opulent (in some ways) that I wondered during the test drive if it was a little TOO opulent. I am a gay man who loves fine dark wood antique furniture, so that is saying something. I haven't purchased one yet. I am not a fan of white nor the steel grey versions that the showroom had. I think the somewhat conservative exterior design would look better in black or a richer color. The lines of the car are really nice, even if unassuming. I drove the V8 top of the line, and the rear seating area was almost of limousine proportions where one could control most of the car from the back. I found myself thinking that this much effort on the rear compartment was a bit of a waste for a single man! But the V8 and rear wheel drive were a really nice combination. There was nothing mechanically I would be unhappy with. In a car like this. if you drive it the way this kind of car is meant to be used, I think most people would be very pleased with it. Without being as nit-picky as professional car reviewers are, I thought the fit and finish was very well carried off, and nothing in the interior switch gear, etc, stuck out as being cheap or substandard. My favorite thing about it all is that this really wonderful car has been brought to fruition by a company I wouldn't have sneezed at 20 years ago. I would be proud to drive a Genesis just because I like the idea of driving a wonderful car that IS NOT what everyone else out there is hankering for. It is quite a bit nicer than the first of the Lexus vehicles Toyota came out with.
