What 27 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 Genesis G80

AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH WITH BOTH HANDS AND A GOOD GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL I FREQUENTLY RECEIVE THE DISPLAY WARNING "KEEP HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL" AND A LOUD AUDIO WARNING. THE LOUD WARNING IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT STARTLING TO EVERYONE IN THE CAR. IF I TAKE MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY. IF I LEAVE MY HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND EVEN GRIP TIGHTER THE WARNING CONTINUES UNTIL THERE IS A MESSAGE THAT THE LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM WILL BE DISABLED TEMPORARILY. THIS WARNING MAY REPEAT AT 30 SECOND INTERVALS OR LESS. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD I EXPERIENCED THE WARNING SIX TIMES IN LESS THAN NINETY SECONDS. CHANGING HAND POSITION AND GIGGLING THE WHEEL DOESN'T STOP THE WARNING.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE QUARTER PANEL WAS HIT. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN EITHER CAR. IMMEDIATELY UPON THE COLLISION, I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR, BUT IT ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I MADE A SPLIT DECISION TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND THEN CONTEMPLATED DRIVING THE CAR INTO A TREE TO STOP IT. I THEN DECIDED TO DRIVE OVER A CURBED DIVIDER THAT HAD A 3 FOOT HEDGE. I GOT THE CAR TO STOP 8 FEET AFTER RUNNING OVER THE HEDGE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED, BUT DID HAVE A CLEAR THOUGHT PROCESS TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I OPTED TO RUN OVER A 3 FOOT BOX HEDGE INSTEAD OF INTO A TREE. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THE CAR ACCELERATED THE WAY IT DID. THE CAR IS NOW CONSIDERED A "TOTAL LOSS".
