Diagnosed as water corrosion to wiring harness. vehicle has less than 22000 miles, other than car washes and normal winter driving in CA.

   On 01/16/22 at approximately 2305 hours, I was driving north on PA 743. I was traveling approximately 40 MPH in a posted 55 MPH zone due to snowy weather conditions. One adult was in the front passenger seat, 2 children were in car seats in the rear driver and passenger side. The road was level and straight. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, every warning light in the dashboard illuminated at once. The LED screen was rapidly displaying messaged such as, "blind spot monitoring system malfunction, smart BDS braking system malfunction, check smart high beam, check PSB, shifter malfunction, traction control malfunction, ESC malfunction, ABS malfunction, etc...". Immediately after traction control malfunctioned, the vehicle violently fishtailed, as if on the receiving end of a PIT maneuver, and crossed over the south bound lane. It continued off of the roadway and into a ditch, stopping several feet away from a fence. At that point, nothing was functional. Restarting the vehicle multiple times did not remedy anything. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. After approximately two months, Genesis USA advised they were unable to find any issues with the vehicle and it would soon be available to be picked up. Both the dealership and a third party(hired by Genesis) inspected the vehicle . The results of the third party inspection were unavailable.

   In the last 8,000 miles the car has stopped cold (about 15 times) when pulling out from a stop. When pulling out the car goes about 3 feet and stops dead. The gas pedal is dead for 1-2 sections, then it responds. The car has almost killed me and my wife several times. The car is under warranty and has been to dealer's service departments 3 times. They claim the computer does not show anything. They refused to attempt an inspection or do any repairs since they can not reproduce the problem and it does not show on their computer. I has contacted costumer service and have no success. THIS IS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO KILL PEOPLE. This started happening soon after we purchased the vehicle on 02/15/20 and persists to 10/10/21.

    AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON ,EVERY TRIP WE TAKE. AFTER ABOUT 500 MILES AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON STAYS ON FOR UP TO 1000 MILES THEN GOES OUT AGAIN. LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THEN STAYS ON EVEN WHEN STOPPED AND PARKED OVER NIGHT WHILE BEING USED ON HIGHWAY. AIR BAG WARNING WILL TURN OFF WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. IT HAS BEEN WORKED ON AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND STILL CONTINUES DOING THIS. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM IF AN ACCIDENT. GENESIS SEEMS TO BE UNABLE TO FIX. *TR CONSUMER STATED WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT I HAVE HAD 28 ALERTS MOST ON AIR BAG FAILURE IN 20 MONTHS. BECAUSE I LEASED THE GENESIS G90 IN ARIZONA, THERE IS NO PROTECTION UNDER LEMON LAW. REQUEST THE ADMINISTRATION LOOK INTO A LEMON LAW ON LEASED VEHICLES. I HAVE A CAR THAT EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT ON A TRIP THE AIR BAGS GO OUT. GENESIS SAYS TOO BAD WE WILL RESET LIGHT OR REPAIR EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, AND THEY DO. HOWEVER WE RIDE ON TRIPS WITH NO AIR BAGS ON A NEW CAR. *JB
