  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I am interested in initiating a class action lawsuit against Hyundai Motor Company regarding the 2016 Hyundai Genesis and its 17-channel Lexicon sound system. I have tried to address the issuse and figure out how to file a campaign for a recall and cant get anywhere only to be shut down by Hyundai several times. The issue at hand is the defective design of the sound amplifier and speaker system, which causes the amplifier to malfunction when turned up to a higher volume. The root of the problem lies in the combination of 3 ohm and 4 ohm speakers, which exceeds the amplifier's capacity. To resolve this issue, the entire system needs to be replaced, including the speakers, to ensure that they all produce the same power output. I have already experienced this issue twice, and have been without my sound system for 2 years. Research shows that it is a common problem with this particular make, model, and year. Despite reaching out to Hyundai and dealing with multiple dealerships, I have yet to find a solution. I seek advice and recommendations on how to proceed with this matter and hold Hyundai accountable for not meeting business class standards.

Did you buy the car new? Did you have this problem while still covered under the 5/60 warranty?
Good luck with legal fees, may be better to buy a Boom Box and enjoy the sound.
 
Yes, I would say you are a little late to the party. but good luck.
Be prepared though. If you win, the lawyers get a million or so and you get about $9.70.

As long as my stereo gets fixed I don't care!
 
You didn’t answer the question did you buy it new. My guess is you didn’t. I think you are sounding rather unreasonable. To think of a class action for an 8 year old car seems rather ambitious. If it was a serious issue no doubt there would have been a lot of fuss about it before now. One reason many things are as expensive as they are now is that manufacturers have to factor in the cost of litigation, including hopeless claims

I imagine it is the same as what my 2015 had. Excellent system, but I never blasted it loud.
He states it is a defective design. First step is to hire an acoustic engineer or designer that can prove that in court. He would have to review the design and perhaps some sort of demonstration that the jury can understand. The cost of that is probably about the same as just buying a new car.

I think he can solve the problem and be happy for $199.
