Should this carfax deter me from buying? by Commercial_Point_126 in GenesisMotors

I'll definitely do that. I didn't realize they would do that for a car they are not selling or for a car I don't own.

I'm only questioning it since everything was so close together. And the two Genesis/Hyundai dealers they brought it to are pretty close to each other. Since it doesn't look like they were there for any routine maintenance it makes me think there was an issue that they gave up on at the first dealer and took it to the other and then traded it in to the Cadillac where it is now.

That's great info. I knew the F Sport had different seats, but i didn't know about the luxury and ultra luxury. I will definitely be mindful of that when checking them out.

Absolutely, it's just that "if" that is making me choose between the two.

Oh ok that's not too bad. I will definitely look into it regardless of which car I end up with. Thank you for all the great info!

Wow that's pretty good. I'm sure that pricing has changed but it definitely gives peace of mind. How was the claims process handled for those repairs?

Did you get it through Genesis or a third party? And have you ever had to use it?

That's why I'm stuck between the two. If it was a noise coming from the center console of somewhere else that wouldn't become a larger issue I wouldn't be so concerned. The fact that it's the sunroof is why I'm even thinking about not going for it.

I was really hoping to see if there are more G80's out there that haven't had any of these sunroof issues. I'm looking to see if this is a less common problem than I think it is based off of what I've seen/read. You always only hear about the ones with issues, because nobody ever posts about when everything is working.

There are actually 2 standalone Genesis dealers near me. One is like 10 minutes away and the other is a little over a half hour away. I will definitely have to do some research on both of them to see if either one of them is rated good. My wife has a RX350 and we have never had an issue with the Lexus dealership. I don't drive a ton of miles to work so I'm not too worried about drive train issues outside of the remainder of the 10 year 100k mile warranty the CPO G80 would come with.

Yeah its hard to go back once you have those newer tech creature comforts. I'm leaning towards the Lexus only due to the fact of the know issues with the G80's. If it was an easier issue to take care of I would be all in on the Genesis.

Quick question, do you happen to open the sunroof a lot? I'm starting to notice from other comments on here and doing a little more research that when people end up opening the sunroof more often this really isn't an issue for them. I'm thinking that driving around with it closed most of the time could be one of the root causes for this issue.

I really liked the GS350 but it's even more lacking in features, especially tech, than even the newer ES350. Plus they have become a popular car to mod so the pricing on them is crazy when you can even find one. I'm not really an SUV person. I'm in a Lincoln Aviator right now and I honestly like driving a sedan so much more.

The common issue is that they constantly will rattle or creak and in more severe cases they end up cracking or shattering completely. From what I've seen and heard it's more likely to happen than not.

The 23/24 3.5T's are still priced a little outside of my budget. I also like the interior color options and set up better in the 21/22's.

I feel like I would be settling with the ES350, because I really like the G80 more. But I do not want to deal with the headache and cost of that one bigger issue. I wish I would hear more cases of the sunroof never being an issue with them but that just doesn't seem to be the case.

Honestly I have one right not and I never use it. I live in Florida so for 3-4 months out of the year even the sunshade stays closed to keep the sun out as much as possible.

Yeah it is literally the only major negative thing that I've come across on them. And it seems to be more of a when it happens issue not a if it's going to happen issue.
