oil Pressure sending unit I tried to get it fixed at a local shop but they refused because it was too tough a job for their skill level, I was confused about s until I saw a video showing the sensor being under the manifold and between cylinders and someone had broken their timing cover while replacing. Driving with the faulty sensor could lead to not knowing if an oil pump has failed causing engine failure upon driving. problem has been confirmed have not taken to dealer for inspection, mostly because I have not had the money to pay for the job started around 68k miles, oil light went on.
2017 Genesis G80 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.

2017 genesis g80, all wheel drive, 3.8 l engine. Car was being driven on a 4 lane expressway in heavy, rush hour traffic using advanced cruise control set near speed limit. G80 was in the left lane attempting to pass a vehicle on the right. There was a vehicle ahead of the g80. Driver noticed another vehicle coming up fast from behind until it was very close to the rear of the g80. When driver attempted to accelerate away from tailgating car, engine revved, and did not engage. It appeared disconnected from transmission as if in neutral. Tachometer needle swung wildly. Vehicle slowed since it was not engaged, creating more risk from tailgater. The tachometer behavior and gear neutrality persisted for approximately five seconds and then engine engaged. Took car to dealer who was unable to replicate behavior or detect system errors after three days of work. Dealer reported that manufacturer's engineers were unable to recommend anything. No repairs made.
While driving on an incline toward a stop sign, the vehicle turned off. While moving forward as cars pulled out of the stop sign the car lurched (similar to if you were hit from behind) and all screens went dark and all electronics went off. Everything came back on within 1-2 seconds and the car proceeded as normal.
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.
