“VIN # [XXX] - My tracking number assigned by NHTSA is11755682. Today, [XXX], I received a voicemail from Vanessa at GMA Case Management, [email protected], Re: Case #[XXX], stating that she would be resolving my case. This case/inspection she prompted following a serious smoke-related incident on [XXX]. This terrifying and potentially dangerous incident left my vehicle undrivable, and it remains so to this day, with significant safety concerns still unresolved. I remain without my vehicle, without the documentation I have repeatedly requested, and without an update, despite being told there is no update.

The vehicle subsequently experienced complete loss of propulsion and would no longer move in Drive or Reverse, despite the engine revving. Genesis Santa Monica confirmed the no-movement condition. According to repair order #XXX, technicians found transmission fluid approximately one quart low, dark brown, and burnt-smelling. They added fluid, reset adaptive values, and performed a transmission control module relearn. No diagnostic trouble codes were found, and the vehicle remained inoperable. The dealership recommended transmission replacement at an estimated cost of approximately $15,000. I am concerned that an unexpected loss of power while traveling at freeway speeds could create a serious…”
