Continuing vibration & noise

If you're a fan of older Lincoln Continentals or Cadillacs this car is equally luxurious, filled with high tech and gives a similar ride. Unfortunately since delivery of the vehicle with less than 100 miles on it I've had vibration issues resulting in a dozen alignments and road force balancing, a new front axle, new drivetrain, new front tires, transfer case and the vibration is still there. I have wind noise from the driver's window that persists after FIVE attempts to repair. The puzzling thing is I also own a Genesis G80 that has been pretty much bulletproof. Think I just got a lemon although steering and chassis vibration is a persistent complaint amongst G90 owners.

As previously written by another reviewer, "as a lease, it's a beast!" This car seems like a MB S550 knockoff with no luxury appointment sacrificed for 2/3 the price with a better warranty, service included, and valet pick-up/delivery. Every option like upgrade is included as standard. You could not get any options on the G90 Ultimate 5.0 because every one that Genesis makes is already on it, standard. It's is the nicest and best car I've leased/owned including the Cadillac CTS-V. I will lease another one when this lease is up.

One year in on my G90

Over the years, this is my third Hyundai/Genesis vehicle. I traded in a Sonata @135,000 miles. Still have the "first generation" Genesis @97,000 miles, and going strong with zero issues. Finally, bought the 2018 G90, and it's exactly "as advertised"! After a little over a year, we've been very pleased with all aspects of this vehicle. "Road Trips" are great in this comfortable, quiet, and easy to drive vehicle. No issues at all - except maybe getting someone to drive, since the back seat is really the place to be!

Really impressed with the g90. Had a Avalon touring model which was an exceptional vehicle but this ride takes it to the next level.
