"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?

Improved review of steering!

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

Nearest Thing To A Cruise Ship?

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.

The best luxury car for the money

After leasing this car for almost 4 months it is very hard to find anything that I don’t like. It is already my third Genesis, first two under Hyundai brand. Every new iteration is significantly better in ride, comfort and look. The third one beats everything I drove so far. The 3.3 bi-turbo engine is so alive and powerful especially in sports mode, it feels like a sports limousine, the ride can be adjusted however you like it, interior well made, comfortable and very, very quiet. The whole infotainment system work well and looks great, all around cameras top notch. Also it has free text mode touch screen that is very useful for quick address entry in navigation system. I found out very few people know about it. Safety systems are all included even in Basic model and work very good. Love head up display. Beautiful color adjustable ambient lights. If I want to be very picky I can say gas mileage could be better, adjustable rear seats should be an option for every trim but then I have to think really hard. Overall I’m very happy with my choice. Great job team Genesis. PS We like it so much both of my sons got G80s and they love it.
