245/40 R20 (FRONT) 275/35 R20 (REAR) The two front and one rear tire experienced sidewall failures within the first 25,000 of use. The tires have been disposed. I thank god that the failures did not occur at highway speed which could have caused serious injury to me and other motorists. There were no warning before the tire failures. After the third failure occurring on 2/12/23, I changed all four tires to Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season.

The windows do not roll down or up from any of the switches. this was taken in for a warranty repair and after i received the vehicle back. it worked for a day and has now began to do the same intermittent working and not working. where more often than not i am unable to roll the windows down. Along with the memory seat function not recognizing any presses. On vehicle pickup, the memory seat function was not working, the technician immediately hooked his tools up and reset something and got it working again. They said they had replaced a harness to get the door switches working properly. However the same issue has not started again. leading me to believe that was not the cause of the issue. Like before trying to roll the windows down from either the drivers master switch or any of the pas

Brake pedal concern. When pressing the brake pedal in Drive but while the vehicle is not moving there is a tapping sound and feeling coming from the brake pedal.
Vehicle Information: * Year: 2021 * Make: Genesis * Model: G80 * Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): [XXX] ] * Mileage at time of incident/problem start: Approximately 26,377 miles Problem Description: The issue began around [XXX]. When pressing the brake pedal, whether the vehicle is completely stopped or while driving, a distinct clicking or ratcheting sound is heard. The sound is clearly audible inside the cabin and is slightly louder when listening under the hood. The sound appears to be originating from an area near a valve or other component (possibly related to the brake booster or ABS system). The sound is always present when the brake pedal is depressed, regardless of the amount of pressure applied (whether pressed firmly or smoothly) or the state of the engine (the sound occurs

The G80 is equipped with a bluetooth system that should read incoming text messages while in drive. (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxfPQ37jJbI&t=6s) Instead, after I select "Listen" the car tells me "unavailable while Driving." When I close this system message, the display shows the first several words of the text message - allowing me to read the message while in Drive. This is unsafe. My vehicle is not the only one experiencing this problem - see https://genesisowners.com/genesis-forum/threads/voice-text.37457/ for other reports and more details. I have contacted Genesis USA several times with no luck. I have returned the car for service multiple times with no resolution.
