2017 Genesis G90

My 2017 Genesis G90 received Safety Recall 018G (NHTSA 24V-107) on December 31, 2024, addressing a starter-solenoid electrical short/fire risk. Around June 7, 2026, I noticed an unusual odor and found the engine-room junction/fuse box extremely hot, with visible heat damage. An independent shop documented melted plastic near the starter relay/junction box, cleaned damaged material, replaced a 200A fuse, and reinstalled the relay kit. It recommended replacing the junction box, which was not done. Around August 7-8, 2026, warning indicators and steering-related problems occurred. The vehicle was towed to Genesis Dublin August 10. Inspection identified substantial thermal damage to the junction box and wiring. The vehicle remains unrepaired at the dealership, with damaged components believed available for inspection. The vehicle was also evaluated for an insurance claim. At a September 24 walkthrough, dealership personnel confirmed that the damaged junction-box/alternator connection area overlaps the area where alternator-related connections were handled under Recall 018G (Step 6, TSB 24-01-059HG). They discussed possible alternator overcharging but said damaged wiring prevented accurate output testing. The initiating cause remains unknown. I am concerned the recall may have reduced the original starter-solenoid short/fire risk while leaving a potentially related electrical overheating hazard unresolved. The severe heat and melting posed a potential engine-compartment fire risk. I am not claiming the recall caused this failure; I request NHTSA review whether it suggests an unresolved recall-related hazard or separate electrical defect. Genesis Motor America Case 43221279. Genesis denied warranty goodwill repair based on age/mileage without providing a conclusive technical cause. An insurance inspector attributed the thermal damage to corrosion-related electrical resistance and overheating.

The contact owns a 2017 Genesis G90. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stationary, the contact became aware of smoke coming from the driver’s side of the engine. While stopped at a red light, the vehicle was smoking with an oil-burning odor. Additionally, the contact stated that the air bag module light was illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V107000 (Electrical System) and 24V191000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) as possible causes for the failure. The dealer and the manufacturer agreed to assist with the recall repairs but had not provided the parts for the repairs. The failure mileage was 118,000.

November 2, 2025 at 12:19 PM, I received a call from the owner, Jose, who accused me of “assault” against his employee Toni—despite the fact that I have never been physically near Toni. I’ve only been calling to follow up on the unresolved safety issues: no fluids, bad brakes (which they claimed to have repaired), and rear tires with no tread at all. When they repaired the brakes, I would have gladly purchased new tires had I been informed.

On November 3rd at 8:23 PM, I found myself stranded on the side of the highway once again—this time due to exposed tread and a large bubble on the tire. It’s deeply troubling that a vehicle was sold in such unsafe condition. This raises serious questions about the seller’s standards and accountability.

November 5, 2023 at 12:33pm third flat tire and the spare blew out into pieces after one day.

On November 8, 2025 at 11:30am, the second bald tire completely blew out while I was driving on 595. This was not just an inconvenience—it was a life‑threatening situation. I could have been killed. The fact that this dealership allowed such unsafe tires to be sold or installed shows a complete disregard for customer safety.This is absolutely unacceptable. Their negligence puts lives at risk. Avoid this dealership at all costs

supposedly changed the brakes and the rear brakes are grinding another safety issue

November 30 6:54pm
before leaving McMahon I’d asked to check the fluids.  Then when they supposedly charge brakes to check the fluids again.  Guess what they never checked all the fluids were gone.

December 2, 11:34am McMahon was supposed to fix the brakes well, surprise they did not fix the brakes putting me and my family’s life in danger. FLORIDA STATUE legalclarity....

* Recall Campaign Number : [018G, 019G] I. Statement of Complaint This complaint concerns a failure in a critical safety-related component that was previously addressed under a mandatory manufacturer recall, and the subsequent refusal by the authorized dealership to provide a second no-charge repair for the same repeated failure. II. Chronology of Events * Original Recall Repair: Approximately thirteen (13) months ago, 8/30/2024 the vehicle was taken to Anaheim Hyundai to address a safety recall concerning the oil feed pipe. The prescribed remedy, a replacement of the oil feed pipe, was completed at no cost under the recall campaign. * Second Failure (Current Event): On or about 10/6/2025, while the vehicle’s engine was running, I observed smoke rising from the engine compartment. The vehicle was immediately taken to a local independent mechanic who diagnosed the issue as a burst oil feed pipe—the identical component subject to the prior recall. * Attempted Repair at Anaheim Hyundai (Denial): The vehicle was then towed back to Anaheim Hyundai. The service department acknowledged that the component failure was the same issue addressed in the previous recall. However, the dealership has now refused to perform the repair under the recall process, citing a specific 12-month policy set by Hyundai Motor America regarding the warranty on recall remedies, which has now expired. III. Request for Intervention The failure of the previously installed recall remedy (the oil feed pipe) exposes the vehicle to the original safety risk, including potential engine failure and fire hazards, and the manufacturer’s refusal to re-remedy the defect effectively negates the purpose of the mandatory recall. I request that NHTSA investigate this matter and compel Hyundai Motor America to: * Honor the original safety recall and provide a permanent, effective remedy at no charge to the consumer. * Clarify the consumer's right regarding the warranty on recall remedies, fails after install
