2024 Genesis GV70 Complaint Log

While driving an audible pop from the rear of the vehicle was heard. Upon hearing the pop the vehicle warning lights came on and a sudden loss of power reducing my maximum speed to 20 mile per hour. The electrical system failure warning came up on the screen and the car would not accelerate to over 20 miles per hour. The dealer stated it was a failed ICCU and fuse. This has been at the dealer for over 10 days without a return window provided. The car has 15,802 miles on it.

I do not know exactly what component failed. All I know is that the vehicle lost power while my wife was driving our children to school at around 8:15 A.M. on February 24, 2026. The vehicle slowed down on its own and could not accelerate when my wife pushed on the gas pedal. There were no warning or check engine lights on the dashboard. Luckily, this happened in a residential neighborhood where traffic is low. This could have caused an accident and/or fatalities if she was driving on busy street or a highway at the time. I contacted Genesis Customer Care. They scheduled me for a service appointment to get the vehicle checked. The vehicle was checked for codes, but nothing came up. They checked the vehicle log but did not find any clues. They told me that everything was normal and they assumed that it was most likely due to an over-the-air update that caused a system reboot. I believe the problem still exists and that it is a matter of time before it happens again.

The digital instrument cluster in my 2024 Genesis GV70 has failed multiple times while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealership on December 20, 2025 for instrument cluster malfunction. The vehicle remained in the shop for approximately four weeks, and the instrument cluster module was replaced. The vehicle was returned to me on January 19, 2026 with representation that the issue had been corrected. On February 8, 2026, only 20 days after the repair, the instrument cluster failed again while the vehicle was in operation. The panel was completely inoperative for approximately two hours. During the failure: Speedometer was not visible, Warning lights were not visible, Fuel gauge was not visible, Safety indicators were not visible, signal lights not working, Automatic Engine Start/Stop system control not working. Entire console goes out.  Operating a vehicle without access to critical driving information presents a safety hazard.

I was entering a highway when my vehicle lost the ability to accelerate. Complete loss of acceleration, audible and visual notifications on my dashboard that were difficult to read as I was dealing with a dangerous situation. I was fortunate that there was a pull out immediately ahead and no traffic that allowed me to quickly get to safety. Had I been further up the highway or on a freeway, my life and that of drivers around me would have been in imminent danger as this was sudden and unexpected. After I pulled out, my vehicle dashboard contained a message that read: Stop vehicle and check power supply. My vehicle's app presents two "Attention Needed" notifications: 1) CHASSIS DTC C160C87 and 2) CHASSIS DTC P1A9096. My vehicle is only 2 years old and had all recommended recalls and maintenance checked prior to this event.

I'm seeing frequency emergency braking when trying to back into a clear parking space. This occurs about 8-10 times a year. The sensors are clean. There are no doors or lift gates ajar.

I moved to Reno, NV where I need to merge onto route 80 everyday. During several attempts to merge onto 80, my Genesis GV70 stopped accelerating at 42 MPH, roughly 5000 RPMs and I was almost rear ended on two occasions because of the 'stalling' of the vehicle. An 18 wheel truck almost hit me because I couldn't accelerate past 42 MPH. Luckily, I was able to pull off the road. There was no warning light or check engine light on the dashboard. This was not a one time issue. Everytime I tried to merge at high speeds the car would not respond. I've attached a video that shows the issue. Genesis towed my car to a dealer in Mountain View CA. I did notice that I was leaking radiator fluid in the days prior to my incidents but when I checked the overflow tank, it was full. Again, there were no check engine lights on the dash. The Mountain View Genesis service manager replicated the issue and discovered that a small rock had come through the bottom grill and damaged the intercooler radiator. He unequivocally stated that "it's a design flaw in the lower grill. The grill has such a wide opening that foreign objects can enter through the lower grill." He went on to say that the intercooler radiator sits below the regular radiator and is made of a softer metal than the regular radiator which makes is more susceptible to damage. He also said that another Genesis GV70 came into his shop the same day with the exact same issue. The cost of the repair was $2,200 dollars to replace the intercooler radiator. (the intercooler was on backorder which may be demand) I opened a case with Genesis and they say that the repair is not covered under a warranty. The Genesis owners forum has numerous complaints of 'lack of acceleration' issues. Someone polled owners and 28 people responded that they experienced a similar lack of acceleration dangerous situation.

I moved my Genesis GV-70 to my home in Reno, NV. My complaint is in regard to my car becoming very dangerous! I'm giving you my move to Reno because its relevant to this complaint. I didn't need quick acceleration while I was living in Florida. In Reno, I have to merge onto Route 80 everywhere that I go. Acceleration during a merger is extremely important here in Reno. So what I've experienced in Reno is a VERY DANGEROUS situation with my Genesis. My GV-70 stops accelerating around 40MPH, or roughly 5,000 RPM. The transmission stalls out and the car revs at 5000 but does not respond. I've almost been rear ended by tractor trailers and other vehicles because of this dangerous situation. I have since found out that my recall for a ECM Software Update-P030X Misfire problem is the acceleration issue that I've described. Here is my complaint: My car should not be allowed to be driven in this current condition. Genesis has understated the severity of this issue dramatically and certainly the language in their recall letter didn't reference not being able to accelerate past 40 MPH/5,000 RPM. I didn't experience this issue while driving mostly local roads in Fort Myers Florida, but here in Reno, this car and it's condition is DANGEROUS! It has caused near misses with very catastrophic consequences. I am driving my car to Rocklin California (2 hours away) next week for service which includes the Misfire problem as well as other service issues. The Misfire recall should taken my car off the road, Genesis did not address the severity and dangerous possibilities of this issue.

The contact owns a 2024 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, the vehicle's gear shifter independently shifted from drive(D) to neutral(N). A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the gear shift selector switch needed to be replaced. The gear shift selector switch was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,500.

Pulling out of parking lot onto street and car would not accelerate beyond 10 miles a hr Pedal was to the floor and didn't change speed. Read on forum this is a known issue. Possibly fuel issue. No DTC code is issued. Dealer could not replicate, which I read on forum was known. Worried about this happening again or on highway.

•Malfunctions: •Brakes: Failed multiple times, including during a critical incident on 11/9/2024, where I couldn’t stop the car, risking a severe collision. •Steering: The steering system failed during the same event, making the car uncontrollable. •Acceleration: The vehicle unexpectedly accelerated on multiple occasions, including on 4/16/2024, creating dangerous driving conditions. •These components are available for inspection. •Safety Risks: •My safety was at extreme risk when the car unexpectedly accelerated, and I couldn’t stop it, narrowly avoiding a collision with gas tanks, which could have been catastrophic. •Inspection and Diagnosis: •The dealership inspected the car on 4/16/2024 and 10/11/2024, but no faults were found, despite my concerns. They only drove the car briefly and did not adequately investigate the braking or steering issues. •No diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) were found, contradicting the malfunctions I experienced. •Inspection by Others: •The car was assessed by my insurance company, who initially missed wheel damages, later correcting the report after I pointed it out. •I also reached out to Genesis customer care but received no comprehensive response regarding the ongoing safety issues. •Symptoms Prior to Failure: •On 11/9/2024, the check engine light illuminated, but by the time I could schedule an appointment, it disappeared. Previous brake and steering issues were noted but not adequately investigated.

The passenger side sideview mirror of my vehicle folds to a closing position while the vehicle is in motion. This has occurred a few times today creating a safety hazard for the occupants of my vehicle and other drivers as I have lost visibility on that side of the vehicle while on the road. I have re-opened the mirror and after a few mins it closes up on its own again. Upon contacting the dealer, they informed me that they don't have any available appointments until 11/15. I reached out to Genesis Corporate and they changed my service dealership. I also informed them of what occurred. I have contacted 2 other dealership to obtain a quick appointment and there is no appointments available.

The car has been shaking between 65-75mph and sometimes around 40-50mph since 9/7/2024. Car has been at the dealer service center 7 times, more then 30 days to attempt to resolve the issue, but nothing has worked. The last service visit they replaced the front axle. the car still shakes. I'm nervous something is going to fly off or a bolt is going to come loose from the shaking. I don't feel safe driving the car, but i don't have money to purchase another car. Genesis is aware of this safety issue and refuses to take action. I have a letter stating they were going to buy the car back by 12/15/2025, but they changed there mind. I guess they want people to drive unsafe cars. Don't buy a Genesis, Hyundai, or Kia. They don't stand by there word or seem to care if it affects there bank account.

Both of my front headlights get condensation to the point of droplets every time it rains, or I go through the car wash. My car is a 2024. Genesis has implied that it is "normal" after I contacted my dealer in Richmond, Virginia. I am retired, so I don't usually drive a night. Would having fogged out lens degrade the performance of my headlights? I'm [XXX] and owned many cars. This is the first brand new car that has had this issue. It should be noted that the lens do clear up after the sun hits them for a few days. My car is not garaged so it is exposed to the rain.

I am filing this formal complaint against Genesis Motor America (a division of Hyundai Motor America) for the repeated failure to repair my defective 2024 Genesis GV70. The vehicle has been a nightmare of safety hazards, financial ruin, and life degradation, with over 240 days out of service in 8 months. This saga began as a dream purchase, but quickly turned into a relentless horror story of mechanical and ADAS failures, dealer incompetence, and manufacturer indifference. The vehicle has been in the shop on six separate occasions under three (3) different dealers, with collective downtime exceeding 240 days, far surpassing Florida's Lemon Law thresholds (3+ repair attempts for the same defect or 15+ days out of service).

Car as purchased new has a loud downing sound that makes it difficult to hear traffic around you. When it happens, it scares the crap out of you. This could lead to an accident. Would like to add video to show how un-safe it it.

On [XXX] I was I came out of a store and made a right turn to enter onto a very very busy bustling street. As I tried to accelerate, my car had absolutely no acceleration and just stopped. I pulled into a vacant lot and drove around and decided to try it again. The same thing happened. I was surrounded by cars going 80 mph and this could have gone very wrong. I called for a tow…they came the next day. I did not see any messages on the dash but I was so panicked I could have missed it. They could not recreate the problem at the dealership. North Charleston said they could not recreate this….they've had my car since 12/18/2023. I’ve been in touch with genesis corporate and she’s calling me today. Her name is Dea and her tn is 714/798/9904. There was a recall of 19, 222 gv70’s, 80’s and 90’s back in 2022. This is a very serious situation. My vehicle is just shy of 4 months old and I’m leasing this. I’m afraid to drive for fear I’ll get in a very serious accident if not killed. The teks are plugging this into the diagnostic machine and no errors are coming up but my car has been at the dealership for almost three weeks with no resolve. North Charleston wants their loaner back. I’ve been in touch with Columbia genesis where I leased the vehicle and they’re telling me they can’t do anymore then what North Charleston has done. Why can’t they go in and look at the engine, the battery, the fuel injection system, the fuel pump? I feel like they consider this negligible because they can’t duplicate it. This is not acceptable to me. Dea from corporate told me if nothing came up on the diagnostic machine they wouldn’t take it any further. That’s very very frightening to me. Thank you for your consideration. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2024 GV70 makes loud noise (whirling, whoosing type) at highways speeds 65-70 mph. Noise was present immediately after purchase, intermittently, and became more constant but only at highway speeds. At first it sounded like it may be coming from under car, but localized to top of car sunroof area after some months. Dealer uncooperative about repairs. Inspected three times with no current resolution, although the tech agreed on test drive he did hear the noise complaint at highway speeds.
