Steering becomes unresponsive after highway speed for an hour or more. Feels like sticking or binding (loss of power assist?) and considerable effort needed to adjust vehicle direction. Most notable on exit ramps. Several times I came close to going off an exit ramp onto the shoulder. Even driving along a straight highway the steering is no longer smooth or consistent. Thus, steering is very unpredictable. This is definitely a safety issue. This started at 29,000 mile about 2 weeks ago and has not gone away. The first dealer service appointment is in 2 weeks. No visible error lights.
2018 Genesis G80 steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Genesis installed dated technology (3G modules) for their connected services knowing 3G was being discontinued within 4 years of installing the technology. On December 31, 2022, Genesis will cease providing connected services to this car and model years 2017-2019. Genesis Connected services provides critical emergency services such as crash detection as well as numerous safety features, vehicle diagnostics, warnings, and navigation. All of these will no longer be available and Genesis has offered no plan to fix the issue. The G80 also has a stability issue when driving without the lane keeping assist feature engaged. The car struggles to stay in a constant direction, essentially pulling from side to side. The driver is forced to constantly make corrections while driving. Essentially, the driver is required to make corrections, via the steering wheel, every second or less when at highway speeds. However, even at lower speeds, there is a constant battle to keep the car steady in one direction. There’s a constant pulling from side to side.
In general, when you release your grab from the steering wheel, it automatically return to a straight position, but when I steer my vehicle to the right then steering wheel is fixed in to the right position and not turning back, only way to steer in the front direction is using your force to steer it, which means if I failed to steer the wheel into the straight position then my car will get out of the lane and eventually collide with other structures, vehicle, or person I complained this many times before today to Genesis of Auburn service center but answer I received every time from the service center is they found nothing wrong, but the problem is getting worsen now, back then it only happens on the high-speed in highway but now it occurs in low-speed while driving in city
Tires developed bubbles in side walls on two tire. Also car was difficult to control on interstate highways for the speed limit. Always fighting the steering wheel to stay in lane.
