The Engine Control Module (ECM) malfunctioned. The dealer replaced it with a new one. When it malfunctioned, the car would not accelerate to a speed greater than 20mph. This was dangerous because I was driving on a state highway where the speed limit is 55mph, and I could have been rear-ended. Since having the ECM replaced, the car's performance has been fine. The Check Engine light did activate more than one day before the incident, which also sent a message to the Genesis app on my phone.

My leased 2026 Genesis GV80 2.5T has three unresolved defects: (1) a persistent vibration felt while driving, most noticeable at highway speed; (2) a separate vibration present at idle; and (3) excessive heat in the second-row floor area, discovered during a highway drive — the floor became dangerously hot to the touch, creating a burn risk to rear-seat occupants. Safety risk: The heat issue poses a direct burn hazard to anyone seated in the second row, including a child or pet. The driving vibration affects vehicle stability and confidence at speed. Together they compromise safe operation. Reproduced/confirmed: The vehicle has been brought to two dealers — Genesis of Lake Norman and Genesis of Columbia. Neither has resolved the issues. The vehicle is available for inspection upon reque
