2017 Genesis G80 4 DR AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2017 Genesis G80 4 DR AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Standard
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Components Involved: WHEELS
Date of incident: 2021-03-11
Complaint:
"bought car as new may 2018. 1 blow out and 4 wouod be bliwouts if i didnt see bubble in tires problems are with the front tires 33 psi is incorrect on road balance machine i proved tires are under inflated. i made hyundai aware i own the car 10 weeks it sat at 2 dealerships a total of 3 weeks between ordering tires and fighting over who's paying for it. i asked many times for a regional mgr to look at this car. they are totally negligent. nobody looked at and nobody drove. what they say is tire mfg says that 33 psi is best performance and best gas milage. its gonna take a fatality for someone to get involved and check these cars out and i get the fact that there low profile tires which means nothing. i had a 2013 cadillac xts for 30 months and put 65k miles on the car with no problems. i was a. addilac customer for 20 years and used roadside assistance once. i have this car 10 weeks used roadside 3 times. bottom line its unsafe. for sure the tires are under inflated its a front heavy car and probably they should be using a different tire if anyone gets injured or worse i sent hyuandi plenty of emails and recorded phone conversations there beyond negligent to not look at this car. and they promise a genesis service loaner when the car is in the shop. none of these dealerships have them. the genesis experience is the genesis inconvenience. i have big time buyers remorse."
Components Involved: WHEELS
Date of incident: 2020-02-05
Complaint:
"the owner has had two blowouts in about 6 weeks. he got the vehicle in december 2017. this is january 25, 2018 the car came with continental procontact 19" 245-45r/19" the load is 98w. his 2017 g70 had its tires recalled. and changed. i find it very suspicious that one car had two blowouts. i love my husband and i feel that this fact has endangered his life and i am alerting you to a potential safety problem and this will perhaps save lives. i think that the load of the car is too great or the wheel base is too long for the tires, but i am not an expert, i am a wife"
