2022 Genesis GV70 Engine Problems

The car loses power to accelerate in the middle of driving. I have to stop and turn it off and restart the car, then it will become normal for a little while before the same issue repeats again. It is really scary and can be very dangerous driving on a highway.

There were 3 incidents that have happened within a 2 week period driving this vehicle. 1. Driving in the middle of a 5 lane highway in busy traffic, car shut down. It almost caused a crash with me being hit from the back. 2. I was traveling around a deep curve, car stalled and was almost hit from the back by a transfer truck. was very thankful he could stop in time. I could not proceed to go to the right due to embankment. Very frightening. 3. Approaching a light that turned from red to green, car stalled at the light. It just cut off. It seems as if the company has no intentions on getting this problem fixed because it has almost been 3 months now since the recall. Does it take someone to be killed before they make the change to get these vehicles operable?

Random engine stalling creating safety incidents in traffic. Failure to diagnose the problem despite repeated attempts by 2 service depts.The problem became more frequent and severe until the car stalled and could not be restarted. Low pressure fuel pump assembly was replaced and the car is currently okay. This problem has cost me over 6 weeks use of my car and several dangerous traffic incidents.

Vehicle came to complete stop on two separate occasions randomly twice in August 2023. (Power stayed on, engine stopped) - (Battery and Engine light came on) As of this point it is uncertain what component failed, but the reports of fuel injector/pump being the source of the problem is so common to the point that it's surprising that there hasn't been a nationwide recall. Right now, it's currently with the dealership service department.

Three weeks ago while returning to SC from Fl on I95, the engine jolted, stalled momentarily , and would not accelerate to keep up with traffic. I pulled over, turned off the engine, and re-started the engine. It started and sounded normal, as did the car diagnostic screen which showed nothing abnormal. An hour later and engine stalled again ( in traffic) and yet the diagnostic screen continued to show "all normal". Initially I suspected bad gas, but that theory proved wrong when, with a full tank of fresh gas, it stalled and stopped mid-traffic . In all these incidents I was very lucky to not have been hit by distracted driver. The car was towed to my Genesis dealer, and after a perfunctory check they said that using all their diagnostic tools, the car showed ZERO alerts. I refused their answer and insisted that it be test driven by one their staff. After receiving my permission to do so, one poor fellow drove it to his home, but it broke down well before arriving there. At this juncture they finally understood that they had an issue. Here is where it get's interesting, because my tech savvy son surfed several forums such as Reddit, Facebook and Genesis owners site, and discovered many references to fuel pump failures, stalling, near accidents and the like. I don't know how you rate the severity of car safety issues, but I suspect that total engine failure must rate pretty high. All I ask is that you rattle Genesis' cage and ask them how many fuel pump issues/ replacements they have had over the past two years. My hunch is that it is a material percentage. I find it unacceptable that with today's technology, a defect like this which can endanger lives on any road at any speed, is left unchallenged.

The engine lunged several times and then completely died. The car was towed to the dealership and the fuel pump has gone out. There are 7 GV70's sitting there with the same issue. Luckily it stalled in a turning lane and not while driving on the interstate. There is a problem!
