2017 Genesis G80: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Aug 4, 2026 · Driver assistance, Electrical · FL

My 2017 Genesis G80 3.8L, VIN [XXX], has approximately 43,840 miles and intermittently slips or shifts improperly between approximately third and fifth gears while driving and causes harsh jolts forward. Jenkins Genesis confirmed the condition, stated that the transmission was slipping from the 3–5 clutch area, and recommended complete transmission replacement. The malfunction is unpredictable and creates a risk of sudden loss or interruption of propulsion while merging, crossing an intersection, changing lanes or driving at highway speed. A driver may press the accelerator but not receive the expected forward power. A [XXX] infant is regularly transported in the vehicle. The vehicle also has a faulty right-front ABS wheel-speed sensor, a passenger seat-belt safety-system communication fault, and intermittent electrical or sensor warnings. Genesis TSB 21-AT-010HG-1 applies specifically to the 2017 G80 and addresses shift flare or harsh shifting during the 2–3, 3–4 and 4–5 shifts. It requires transmission-solenoid, wiring-harness and fluid inspection procedures. TSB 19-AT-014HG also addresses harsh or delayed shifting in 2017–2018 G80 vehicles and provides electronic shift-data testing. The written repair estimate does not establish whether all applicable TSB diagnostic procedures were completed. The model also has electrical recall history, including the federal safety agency recalls 24V‑107 and 21V‑161. I am not claiming the recalls caused the transmission failure, but the concurrent transmission, ABS, seat-belt and electrical faults warrant investigation. I request that the federal safety agency examine similar G80 complaints involving slipping, shift flare, delayed shifting and loss of propulsion.

I am the original owner and when my vehicle reached approximately 65,000 miles just past the warranty the oil service light would come on sometimes then go out. i have had documented oil changes from my dealer approximately every 3500 miles. Everything seems to be normal in the car and the oil level checked on a regular basis is always ok. When the RPM rises above 2000 rpm the oil service light goes out and returns when the rpm is lower. After visiting a Genesis vehicle Forum web site which i subscribe to i discovered that it's a common problem many vehicles owners of the Genesis model particularly the G80. I am told that the remedy is costly due the need to remove the entire vehicle's intake manifold to get to the device and replace it which is causing the problem. This appears to be a factory device part failure as was explained to me and it may or may not fail within or after the warranty expires. Also whenever it rains my ABS warning light comes stating that the system is inoperable. Never comes on in dry weather.

I have a Genesis G-80 2017 There was a recall earlier this year and I took my car in for that repair about a month ago. As of 7/12/21, my car feels hot from the floor up. My air conditioner works fine When I park my car in the garage and close the door, it is so hot until I will leave the gavrage door open. The recall was for the ABS system to hae a fuse system replaced that could affect more than breaks (this is what I was told). Specifically, the car was at risk for catching on fire because of this fuse. My ABS caution light is on along with other warnings and because of the recall, I am having difficulty getting my car serviced. I called Genesis Corporate and he told me not to park the car in the garage and he asked if I needed numbers to other dealerships for repair. My concern is why sale something that you are not equipped to repair? I want it documented that this car was supposedly repaired, but clearly there is something else going on I am not sure what your agency's role is with recall, but this is a government agency so I am assuming that you guys have some checks and balances in place for safety. There is something else going on with these vehicles When my car catches on fire with me in it or while parked in the garage at the hospital where I work, I wan you to know. Thank You

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.

Regarding the federal safety agency recall report #21v‑160 there seems to be some confusing information regarding action to be taken by the vehicle owner. In the section description of the safety risk it says that there is a risk of a fire when the vehicle is "parked or driving". In the section description of remedy it states "customers can continue driving these vehicles". It seems based on these two statements you're taking a chance of a vehicle fire if you continue to drive. The first statement says the problem can occur while driving and the second says you can still drive the vehicle. Based on information from other sources quoting genesis the installation of a particular fuse, located in the ABS module will prevent the chance of a fire. I'm assuming this is a temporary fix since genesis is still trying to locate the exact cause of the problem. Can you elaborate on exactly what fuse should be replaced. My local dealership and genesis national customer service have no clue about this fuse stop-gap measure and are refusing to look further into the matter. At this point, based on the information in the federal safety agency report I am afraid to use my car. Can you please clarify whether or not I can safely operate my vehicle? Currently it is sitting in my driveway as I don't want to take a chance transporting myself or family. Thank you.
