Question to those who had problems with their Genesis?

[Poopsicle]

Just out of curiosity, What day was your car made?

I just wanted to see if the "Monday-made car" and "Friday-made car" are true statements.

1. The cars are made in Korea, by people who do not work for the UAW.

2. The "made" date would be the assembly date, which would mainly affect things like fit and finish. AFAIK, no one has complained about fit or finish of their car. The only assembly problem that I heard about on this forum was a loose cooling system hose (or something similar) that became detached.

3. The engine, transmission, and all other components (many from outside companies) are made separately, and we don't know when they are made.

4. Many of the problems are software problems, since computers control just about everything from the engine, transmission, audio, Bluetooth, etc.

5. The vast majority of problems are design problems. The car is assembled correctly, but maybe not designed the best possible way. I would like to know what day the North American suspension was designed and approved, as I am suspecting that the engineers were still hung-over or stoned from the weekend (or maybe they party every day in Southern California).

Once again you are posting your BS instead of answering the question just like you did on my survey. Mark we all know your position.... just answer the damn question ....

Amen kaberle!

Love my Genesis and its "crappy" suspension.

I did answer the question, quite accurately. You are just too emotional every time someone mentions a suspension problem. Almost all the problems people complain about (many other besides suspension problems) are design problems. I personally think they are all relatively minor (except for suspension), but they are design, not assembly, problems.

Where is the Day listed? The door jam just lists the Month/Year.

The only problem I had was a dead battery after letting the car sit for 2 weeks.

Dealer checked it out and claimed no problems, I chose to replace the stock battery with an Optima.

Has anyone tried to determine if threads started on Mondays or Fridays are significantly better or worse than those started on other days?

I don't see anything productive coming out of this thread, hence....
