Our 2023 Genesis G80 electrified has been towed three times for the 12v battery or its electrical system. We have yet to drive the Genesis once. It is a safety danger which produces toxic smells in the interior and the trunk plastic gets hot to the touch. The interior was impregnated with the smell as the car was closed. Given the symptoms, the dealership refused to drive the vehicle for service and had it towed due to safety concerns. They attempted repairs three times, finding no error codes or answers the first two times. They returned the dangerous defective vehicle twice. On the third repair attempt, they stated the battery has a short circuit that is causing it to overheat to temperatures over 166 degrees. They also found the accelerator pedal and sensor assembly was out of specifications. Both were replaced, but they have been unsuccessful in getting the smoke/burnt smell out of the vehicle. It has saturated into all of the interior surfaces. Both are extreme concerns for fire risk as well as danger when driving since the accelerator pedal was not working as it should have been.
