Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2018 Genesis G80

1. stationery. approximately 50% of the time when i switch gears from reverse to drive the gear slips into neutral. it takes 2-3 attempts and then finally stays in drive. one time i had to put car in park and then shift into drive because it would not stay in drive. this happens even though i am pressing firmly on the brake and am pushing the shift button. 2. while car is moving. 3 times since i have owned this vehicle the following has happened while i am driving on city streets and highways. when i am driving, and i gently apply the brake in order to make a turn and then accelerate in order to complete the turn and merge onto the street or highway, without my realizing it the transmission has slipped into neutral and the vehicle will not accelerate. the genesis dealership and genesis corporate have both indicated it's my imagination and that nothing is wrong with the vehicle.

I was pulling into the driveway and put on the brake, and the brakes did not respond. the car crashed thru the garage door. i put the car in reverse, but it didn't respond. it took about 5 seconds for it to engage. then once it engaged in reverse, it was out of my control, as the car shot back at a high speed, bounced up a curb and hit the neighbor's deck. again, the brakes were not responding to stop the car. there were burn rubber marks showing the speed of the reverse. i felt the car had control not me. this time it also took several seconds for the car to engage in drive. when it did, the car shot forward back into the garage and only stopped because it could go no further due to the collapsed garage door and the contents underneath. the brakes had not responded again. i was able to put the car in park after this ricochet event. i believe the car has a manufacturing malfunction and is dangerous not just to me but to everyone else on the road, be it driving or walking. *tt *cn
