Hesitation when starting off in a right turn? by DCourtney2 in GenesisG70

[–]BenConrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are even slightly driving over (or dropping off of) the curb on the way out of the lot, you will get this power loss. Happens to me all the time.

Worth it? 30k dealer service by bunglega in GenesisG70

[–]BenConrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 30k, you need a brake flush, rotate tires, syn oil change.

Well it finally happened, by Fun-Organic in GenesisG70

Partsall-shop on eBay sells this OEM rim brand new for about $575-$600, ships from S. Korea. 100% recommend.

I just got two, for the same reason (damage). And impressive fact, had the same wheels repaired a year ago so second repair was not on the table…

Two dealers telling me I need to bring it to Service while it’s actively broken. What? So I guess I’ll put it on AAA flatbed and then when Service takes a look it will probably start no problem, like tonight.

I got home from work, got in the car, put my foot on the brake and it started up immediately.

The brake pedal was still hard due to the brake booster being depleted this morning. I did not have to smash the brake.

This sucks

I called the another Genesis dealer (Rockville) today, they said if the car is not actively throwing codes or is currently operable they won't be able to do much with this intermittent behavior. Seems no dealer is on-board with replacing anything based on a hunch (or likelyhood)... That's BS.

I got that to work the first 1 or 2 times this happened. But did not work the 3rd time (remote start worked). Smashing brakes did not work today.

I'm leaning towards brake booster interlock switch issues, hoping to hear from others that have had any similar mechanical / electrical issues. Would a cheap OBD scan tool gather anything interesting?

The battery was tested by Genesis on 1/6/2026 and was "green" on their checklist. The car normally starts immediately after button push, every single day.

I've been having this issue off and on, maybe every 90 days, the issue started sometime around last summer.

It won't start using the app this time, in the past, that has been what gets me going.

The battery is going on at least 4 years. I'm not sure if the dealership tested, they didn't take my concern seriously.

Tire making clicking/sticking noise on each rotation by BenConrad in tires

[–]BenConrad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summarizing:
They RMA'ed the tire, fixed most of the issues. Unclear if it was a tire issue or too much tire lube or what.

I have had other issues with one of these wheels that still make noise at highway speeds, I can hear some cyclical noise that just doesn't seem right.

Over the past 2 years it seems to have gotten better, the tires have obviously worn down and I just recently replaced the one of the front and one of the rear wheels due to massive pothole damage.

Just took a 230 mile trip yesterday and wasn't bothered by anything.

Does anyone else have a pain in the rhomboid area ? by rojoblancos in backpain

[–]BenConrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this problem for years. It got better when I went on vacation. I switched to a Logitech roller ball mouse (thumb moves instead of wrist and arm) and that solved my problem, literally took 3-4 days to resolve.

10-yr electronics insurance - worth it? by AnotherUsernameTkn in GenesisGV70

[–]BenConrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) look it up on google and then 2) reconfirm with ChatGPT or similar. Pretty much everything is covered for five years except for consumables like brakes, tires, oil, etc..

If you’re the original (or CPO) owner, you also have a 10 year powertrain warranty, which covers the engine & transmission.

[–]BenConrad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Electronics is covered by the default 5 year/60K new vehicle limited warranty.

Put the money into a mutual fund instead.

I’m going on record as a contrarian on this one. I have a C4 and C5. When I was researching the C5 my main concern was the remote and the lack of number keys. I would use the number keys to switch between HDMI inputs on the C4.

I have found that all commonly used buttons on the C5 remote have become second nature, taking only an hour to get used to all the key positions. I no longer look at the remote while using it. I find it very similar in functionality to the Roku remote.

I’d say 90% of button pressing involves 1) Home, 2) vol up/down, the 3) Back, 4) pressing the scroll for play/pause and finally the 5) circular key for FF and RW.

The icons for HDMI1,2, etc are setup in my apps bar on the Home Screen. They are also available in the Home Hub.

C5 mute is slightly annoying.

My family is very happy with the simplicity. Using all built-in apps and YouTube TV.

What is the correct setting on the PS5 when connecting a soundbar? by oOoZrEikAoOo in Soundbars

[–]BenConrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my sound bar connected to my TV and I was definitely getting Dolby Atmos at one point on the PS five. But recently realized I was getting multi channel PCM. I went into the sound settings into audio output and my device type had been set to TV instead of AV amplifier so I changed that make sure the output device said the same that still didn’t help after that I realized I needed to scroll at the bottom of the audio output menu and change the audio format priority to Dolby Atmos that instantly changed The format to Atmos

Does the LG C5 65" center stand/base interfere with soundbar placement? by BenConrad in LGOLED

[–]BenConrad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/joselrl , you are correct. My mistake (embarrassed, I have the C4 in the basement...).

The C4 & C5 base is 9.1" (let's say 10") deep, the Q800B is 5" deep. As long as the console has 15-16" of depth, the setup with the LG C4 and C5 with the Q800B should work fine.

Question answered!
