I purchased a GV60 and was pressured into buying an ALLSTATE expended warranty from GENESIS of MERRILLVILLE. I was told this would cover any and all damage to my windshield. That it would cover a rep ALLSTATE expended warranty from GENESIS of MERRILLVILLE. I was told this would cover any and all damage to my windshield. That it would cover a replacement "even if a squirrel fell on my car and broke the windshield". While driving, a rock hit my windshield and I had a small crack. I immediately drove to the dealership. They took pictures and never repaired the crack. A bit later, the crack spread across my windshield. I was glad that I had a WARRANTY... Hahahahaha!! They said my warranty didn't cover a windshield. After THREE scheduled appointments, they finally installed a windshield. Two times, they put it in wrong or didn't have the a part. They left my car filthy, uncharged, glass shards all over the dashboard...AND they charged me for the windshield. My HEADS-UP DISPLAY is distorted and cuts off half of the words. I found out that they installed an after market windshield that is not compatible with a HEADS -UP DISPLAY. It is also illegal to install after market parts on a car less that five years old. I have opened a case with GENESIS CARES. This dealership has LIED to them saying that they have tied to resolve my issue, but I am hindering their attempts. I have a review on GOOGLE. They responded that they will call me in a few days and help. THEY DID NOTHING!!!!! They just wrote that on every bad review so that it looks like they resolve issues. Genesis of Merrillville (Owner) 3 days ago Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, we are sorry to hear this and will have a manager reach out to discuss this further. I received this response, as did every reviewer that left a negative Google review. I haven't heard from anyone. This is just to look like they have responded. They have no intention of addressing this issue. Update: They installed an after market windshield, at my expense, after they stole my windshield warranty money. This caused my HEADS-UP DISPLAY to have a warped and incomplete appearance. It is illegal to use after market parts on a car less that five years old. I have opened a claim against this dealership with GENESIS CARES. This dealership has lied to GENESIS saying that they resolved my claim. More

I want to thank everyone who was involved in preparing the car for delivery and specially Ben, Joe French and Joe the mechanic, in my opinion is the most important team member who does an excellent job of making sure my cars are safe to drive. The car was very shiny and decorated when I first saw it. It was a very pleasant experience. Everyone was smiling and it was great to see they enjoy what they do. More
