2019 Genesis G70: complaints, problems and recalls

I CAN FEEL A "POPPING" IN MY HANDS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL ONE OR TWO DEGREES LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STANDING AT A LIGHT (FOOT ON BRAKE), IN PARK, MOVING LESS THAN 10MPH, AND EVEN WITH THE CAR OFF. THE POPPING CAN ALSO BE FELT BELOW THE STALKS ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING SOUND OR "CLICK" THAT IS MOST EASILY HEARD WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS "CATCHING SOMETHING" IN THE FIRST 1 OR TWO DEGREES OF MOVEMENT BEFORE THE WHEELS TURN. THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER ABOUT 4,4…

AT AROUND 8:45 A.M. ON JAN. 19, 2020, I LEFT MY HOUSE, DROVE TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE SUBDIVISION, AND TURNED LEFT ONTO THE CITY STREET. BECAUSE OF THE BAD WEATHER IN EARLIER HOURS, I KNEW THAT THE ROAD WAS RATHER ICY. SO I WAS EXTRA CAUTIOUS AND ESTIMATE MY SPEED WAS AROUND 25 MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT IS 40 MPH).

WHEN BRAKING THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKE PEDAL, AND EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE CAR PULSES/SHAKES/VIBRATES. WHEN I HAD MY FIRST MAINTENANCE, I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT IT AND THEY TEMPORALLY FIXED IT BY SHAVING THE ROTORS. IT COMES WITH BREMO CALIPERS BUT NOT BREMO PADS, ROTORS, ETC. I'VE SPOKEN WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE OVER SOCIAL MEDIA AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO BEING DONE IS SHAVING AND REPLACING THE ROTORS/PADS WITH THE SAME ONES THAT HAVE THE ISSUE. MANY HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY RELYING ON AFTERMARKET PADS …

EVEN WITH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WARNS YOU TO PUT YOU HANDS ON THE WHEEL. WHEN ACCELERATING USING THE STEERING WHEEL CRUISE CONTROLS THE CAR ACCELERATES RAPIDLY GOING WAY FASTER THAN ONE WOULD WISH. UNLIKE MOST CARS, THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT LOCK IN A SPEED WHEN YOU RELEASE IT WHEN SPEEDOMETER READS THE DESIRED SPEED. INSTEAD THE CARE KEEPS ACCELERATING, THE TURBO KICKS IN AND THE G-FORCE PUSHES YOU BACK INTO THE SEAT. *TR

ON 8/8/2020 I DROVE MY GENESIS G70 SPORT INTO MY HOME GARAGE DOORS AND CENTER SUPPORT BETWEEN THE TWO DOORS. IT WAS SLOW SPEED. I WATCHED AS MY CAR CONTINUED FORWARD WITH MY FOOT HARD ON THE BRAKE WITH NO BRAKING ACTION AT ALL. IT WAS A 100% BRAKE FAILURE. I HAVE NEVER PUT ANY VEHICLE INTO ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR ANY STRUCTURE IN MY 55 YEARS OF DRIVING. I HOLD A CDL. I WAS CERTIFIED BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE EXCELLENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE BRAKING SYSTEMS IN 1976. I WAS SELLING BMWS IN THE MID 80S WHEN BOSCH DEVELOPED ABS. …

CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE WALL AT SLOW SPEEDS. I PULLED INTO THE GARAGE RIDING THE BREAK PEDAL (NO ACCELERATION/GAS) AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE BREAKS SEEMED TO GIVE OUT COMPLETELY. EVEN AS I SHOVED THE BREAK PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IT SEEMED TO DO NOTHING. WHEN IT HAPPENED, I DID FEEL A BIT OF A RUMBLE ON THE BREAK PEDAL LIKE WHEN ABS TURNS ON.
