2022 GENESIS GV70 Complaints

I was in a collision where another vehicle crashed into me at the driver's side front corner of my car. The other driver was going at least 30 miles per hour; I was probably going 10-20 miles per hour. None of my airbags deployed despite the collision resulting in a total loss to my vehicle.

Been A Loyal Enthusiastic Hyundai & Genesis Owner For 22 Years. 6 Santa Fe's 3 Genesis. FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2024. Went to garage to start... "LIMITED SLIP" WARNING AND MULTIPLE DRIVER ASSIST WARNINGS FLASHING ON DIGITAL DASHBOARD. WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. TOWED TO DEALER SATURDAY MORNING. DEALER HAS NOT LOOKED AT GV70 TO DIAGNOSE IN 7 DAYS. 3 OTHER GENESIS HAD BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALER AS WELL AND WERE SITTING NEXT TO MINE. DEALER IS DOING WHAT THEY CAN BUT NOW HAVE MORE THAN 3X SERVICE FROM RECENTLY CLOSED GENESIS DEALERS IN A 60-70 MILE RADIUS. GENESIS DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES ARE REAL AND UNRESOLVED AND AFFECT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF GV VEHICLES. GENESIS DEALER ISSUES OF TAKING ON SERVICE FROM CLOSED GENESIS DEALERS, NO APPOINTMENTS FOR MONTHS, NO LOANERS & UNABLE TO REPAIR AND/OR MULTIPLE REPAIRS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ARE REAL AND AFFECT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF GV OWNERS. These issues are now insurmountable for the near term and, at 72 years old, the "near term" is very important to me. GENESIS AND NHTSA ARE NOW WELL AWARE OF THESE DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES WHICH CAN RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. A NATIONAL RECALL IS REQUIRED AS WELL AS A "PERMANENT" FIX. CURRENT DEALERSHIPS ARE HEAVILY IMPACTED WITH PICKING UP MANY ADDITIONAL SERVICE CALLS FROM CLOSED GENESIS DEALERS. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY OR THE ABILITY TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THESE ISSUES IN A TIMELY MANNER. A NATIONAL RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED BY NHTSA / FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND REQUIRE A "TIMELY PERMANENT REPAIR" OR A FULL COMPENSATION IMMEDIATE BUYBACK.

In April 2024, I was driving down a side street at about 30 mph. Suddenly there was a slam against the side of the car. I pulled over a block later and found that the passenger side mirror housing had gone into the "closed/locked" position, evidently at speed, dislodging the side mirror. The mirror had then slammed into the car door frame, denting it, and cracking the mirror, causing some of it to shatter away. Thankfully, my car windows were closed or I would likely have had glass shards flying into my car cabin at high speed. There is no damage at all to the mirror housing. I have no explanation for the sudden, fast closing movement other than something that caused it to think it needed to close. I took the car to a Genesis dealer. Without any examination, they told me it "could not be" a flaw in the car; that there must have been an impact. I asked how that could happen with no damage to the mirror housing at a high enough speed to completely dislodge the glued-in and fastened-in mirror and dent the window frame on the car. They had no explanation. I then reported this to Genesis. Their response was I would have to take it to a dealer to be looked at. Neither dealer in the area would sell me a new mirror to self-install and were "squirrely" about when a repair could be made, citing "supply chain" problems getting a replacement mirror. Three weeks ago (late June), while driving on a highway at approximately 70 mph, the same passenger side mirror housing suddenly slammed into the closed position. There was no damage to the car because the mirror was already missing. But this makes me very concerned about replacing the mirror if this intermittent problem is going to recur. I have an appointment at a different dealership scheduled for the end of this month and (along with the open recall and standard service) am asking them to look at this problem again. Pictures provided are of damaged mirror, dented car window frame, and undamaged mirror housing.

The contact stated while driving at approximately 50 MPH, the front driver's side tire tread had separated off the tire and would not retain air. The failure occurred during a long-distance camping trip and fortunately, the RV had a spare tire. The contact replaced the front driver-side tire with the spare tire. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21T018000 (Tires) however, the tire line was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The tire failure mileage was 2,000 and the vehicle failure mileage was 180,000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2022 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that while his wife was attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle displayed signs of electrical power, but the vehicle failed to start as expected. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V282000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The VIN was included, but parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,000.

The contact's father-in-law owned a 2022 Genesis GV70. The contact stated while the driver was driving at an undisclosed speed during rainy weather conditions, the driver crashed into a Ford Fusion at an unknown location and there was a third vehicle impacted that crashed into a wall. The driver of the vehicle that crashed into a wall sustained fatal injuries and no further information was available. The driver's seat belt was fastened however it failed to restrain him during the impact. The air bags deployed. The contact stated according to the police report filed, the fatality of their father-in-law was caused by seat belt failure. The contact stated the father-in-law hit their head on the steering wheel causing blunt force trauma on impact to be the cause of death. The vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car was coasting into a resteraunt chain drive-thru lane, coming to a slow when the car very quickly excellerated. A quick application of the brakes stopped the rapid acceleration. Neither foot was on the gas, one was resting over the brake pedal in order to stop the car before reaching the car ahead of us. I have OEM floor mats that do not sit on the pedals. I was not using the Paddle shifters. This has happened on more than one occasion in similar conditions.

Driving down side road about 35-40 MPH with my son, hit a hole in road. Car made a loud boom with immediate signs of problem. (No airbag deploy or warning signs showing on app or on dash) Pulled over to find no issue with tires, body of car or rims of tire. Upon raising hood, found passenger front strut had pushed through engine casing and was hitting top of hood. Fortunately, I was not on a major highway as that could have led to something more serious. (I realize hitting a hole can cause damage but this seems to be a design flaw and I am worried now every time I hit a bump it will trigger this. I get tire/rim damage, but this is pretty significant.) I have an insurance adjuster looking at it now, notified Genesis Corporation and spoke to the Dealer who claims it's an insurance claim. In my research I have found a forum indicating this has happened to others and Genesis hasn't provided a recall or notified users of this as a safety concern. The pictures and description are consistent across the drivers. I just think this is something that needs to be researched before someone gets seriously hurt.

Car started bucking and lost power. Turned back into my neighborhood and it only went about 20mph and struggled to get back to my house. Totally shut down and I had it towed to dealership. I had about 1/8 tank of gas and no low fuel warning lights on. Dealership said it was out of gas even though gas showed 27 mikes left. I know for sure it wasn’t out of gas. I don’t feel safe driving this car. I only have 18000 miles on it.

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.
