Parking vehicle at 5MPH brakes did not work, and car shot forward-hit steel post.
NHTSA ODI report, 2026-03-11
It is dead everyday and I have to jump it I noticed when I attach a power source it makes very odd noises. I feel the current recall you have on the g80 2020 may be the issue. It runs extremely hot wit no warning lights showing.

We took the vehicle in for the ABS recall on the 2020 Genesis G80 [XXX] The Dealer changed the Fuses and told me the fuses where changed from a 10 amp to a 20 amp fuse. This seems to be the wrong way to go for a defective ABS module.
