   I want to file a complaint regarding the recall issued for my car. I am concerned that Genesis has not issued a resolution at all and suggests parking the car. If it's unsafe and could ignite itself on fire, a remedy should be issued immediately. Offer us a different model and year or fix the issue. This is people's lives at stake.

    Recall 24V107000 issued 2-13-2024 for compartment fire while parked or driving. I received such recall from Genesis within the past two weeks, now 5-13-2024, not promptly as it should have been since it is a high rise of danger to users and passengers. Today I called the Genesis Customer care, there remains no remedy, and the agent could not authorize a rental car. I could rent a car at my expense and submit a claim once the remedy is installed and I may be refunded that…
