## Narrative
My leased 2026 Genesis GV80 2.5T has three unresolved defects:  (1) a persistent vibration felt while driving, most noticeable at highway speed;  (2) a separate vibration present at idle; and  (3) excessive heat in the second-row floor area, discovered during a highway drive — the floor became dangerously hot to the touch, creating a burn risk to rear-seat occupants. Safety risk: The heat issue poses a direct burn hazard to anyone seated in the second row, including a child or pet. The driving vibration affects vehicle stability and confidence at speed. Together they compromise safe operation. Reproduced/confirmed: The vehicle has been brought to two dealers — Genesis of Lake Norman and Genesis of Columbia. Neither has resolved the issues. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Manufacturer/other inspection: UNKNOWN whether Genesis Corporate has independently inspected the vehicle. No police or insurance inspection has occurred, as no crash resulted. Warning lamps/messages: None observed. No dashboard warning lamps or messages appeared in connection with either the vibration or the heat. Symptoms first appeared during normal driving [around MONTH/YEAR] and have recurred since, without resolution despite dealer visits.
