STRUCTURE:BODY
THE 2021 GENESIS GV80 REAR BUMPER COVER VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING AS IF IT WANTS TO BLOW OFF. THIS PART OF THE BUMPER INCLUDES THE TAG AREA AND THE LOWER BUMPER COVER. WHILE DRIVING, THE TAG ALSO VIBRATES. IT SEEMS TO APPEAR THAT THERE IS NOTHING SUPPORTING THIS BUMPER. THIS VEHICLE COSTS TOO MUCH FOR IT TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. SAFETY IS PUT AT RISK BECAUSE THE BUMPER COVER COULD POSSIBLY BLOW OFF WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEED. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET BUT I WILL HAVE IT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THIS FIRST APPEARED TO BE NOTICED ON FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 2023 WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN. MY HUSBAND TRAILED ME AND NOTICED THE VIBRATION OF THE BUMPER COVER. HE TOLD ME TO PULL OVER AND EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE BUMPER COVER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE REAR BUMPER COVER AND TAG AREA WAS VIBRATING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LAMPS OR MESSAGES WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR IS EXPENSIVE AND SHOULD BE BETTER MADE THAN IT IS. I WILL CONTACT GENESIS CORPORATE AND SHARE THIS SAME INFO WITH THEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I bought my 2021 GV80 used with 15,500 miles. After driving not even 100 miles, we experienced the vehicle stalling and having no power. Giving it gas, the RPM's would not rise and the engine then shut off. The engine light briefly turned on but did not stay on. After the car shut down and turned back on, we kept driving. We took the vehicle immediately to the dealer where they proceeded to tell us there is nothing wrong because the diagnostics came back fine. But now this exact same thing has happened on 7 different occasions after driving a little over 1,000 miles. This has happened on the freeway, on busy intersections and feel unsafe to drive. On one occasion, we were almost hit from behind because we stalled making a left at a buy intersection. I took it back to a Genesis dealer and one week in their service, we were told they can't duplicate it and we should pick it up. Again, I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. There are no recalls but many complaints about this same problem and no recourse to fix this.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The fuel cap never opens up right away. It is not an emergency, but it is very time consuming, trying to repeatedly lock and unlock my door several times before the fuel door is released. I am unsure of what to do. It states that the driver's side door must be unlocked before the fuel door is released, I have to lock/unlock my door multiple times before the cap is released.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
There is a very bright section of chrome stripping on the dashboard, just below the control panel, that reflects light which looks like a lightening bolt directly across the windshield in the drivers viewing area. This happens when both sunlight and street lamps shine on the dashboard. It is very distracting and dangerous. Quite bright here in FL. It hasn't caused an accident "yet". The incidents are continuous, not a specific date.
