2022 GENESIS GV70- Atlanta, GA
I am uncertain what exactly is wrong with my vehicle. As it appear the certified dealer is also not unaware how to resolve the issue. My vehicle has sat at the Lithia Springs, GA Hyundai dealership since approximately August 23, 2022. I requested service on my vehicle because it started stalling, and shutting off while operating the vehicle without warning. This is a major concern as it put the driver and passengers at risk considering the circumstances. The last time I drove my vehicle. It shut off completely while driving on major interstate I-20 in the middle of expressway, surrounded by other vehicles. With much caution, we made it to the side of the highway. Where we restarted my truck and proceeded to make it back to Lithia Springs Hyundai, where we picked up my vehicle just a hour prior to this event. We were assured my vehicle was repaired properly. Later realizing in fact no repairs had been made at all. My vehicle shut off 3 additional time before reaching the dealership. Where we road slowly through traffic with hazard warning lights flashing. My vehicle has sat without repair since it was left that day. This week, I was contacted by a case manager with Genesis and instructed to come pick up my truck, return the loaner vehicle. Drive my truck two hours away to another dealership in Albany Georgia to further assist with just a review of my vehicle. Please let it be known. No repairs has been made to my vehicle. Yet I am being asked to risk my life by driving a knowingly unsafe vehicle. Putting myself, as well as other people lives in danger, for a task that should be handled by the manufacturer. I have been more than patient! Allowing a fair opportunity for Genesis and Lithia Springs Hyundai to come up with a better resolve that doesn’t involve me possibly dying for supporting their brand! This entire experience has impacted my life severely! Causing a enormous amount of stress

2023 GENESIS G70- Hollywood, FL
Unintentional acceleration - parked car crashed into garage wall, damaging front bumper and home structure. Have lost all faith in vehicle. Sensors and automatic brake failed. Car concerns have been reported and waiting 6-8 weeks for GMA to deem if it is eligible for an investigation. No loaner car offered despite being told NOT to drive the vehicle. No prior warnings. No one was home to drive the car. Very concerning.

The contact owns a 2022 Genesis GV80. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the odor of fuel was present inside the cabin of the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact discovered fuel leaking from under the engine cover. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer for repair and the contact was given a loaner vehicle of the same year make and model. Days later, the same failure occurred with the loaner vehicle. While in for service, the dealer diagnosed that the low-pressure fuel line had been chew and damaged by rodents. The low-pressure fuel line was replaced and the vehicle was retrieved.

2019 GENESIS G70- Phoenix, AZ
Engine stalled when stopped at a traffic light. There was heavy traffic in front and to the rear of my vehicle. I was in the far right lane. It was 102 degrees outside. I was able to restart the vehicle about two minutes after the initial stall. I was then able to drive the vehicle to my home where it was then towed to the nearest Genesis dealer. No warning lights. Dealer stated no error codes were found and they could not duplicate the problem. After pushing for a solution they stated they will replace the fuel pump. Seems to be an ongoing, extremely dangerous problem with Genesis owners vehicles.

2022 GENESIS GV70- South Dennis, MA
2022 Genesis GV 70 Advanced model, All Wheel Drive warning light is illuminated on the dashboard at first at random driving condition (highway / city) and at no particular speed. This occurred intermittently over a two week period progressing to the light illuminates after 5-10 min of driving after both a hot and cold start. When the light comes on, the 4 wheel drive system disengages and provides power to rear wheels only. Upon inspection by Genesis service, the transfer case is in need of replacement. A google search "GV70 AWD warning light" yields details on numerous others with the same problem, generally with less than 5K on the car. Genesis cannot tell me if the car is safe to drive until the part arrives, saying only if I do not feel safe to drive it, don't. The dealer / service dept reported others with the same problem as well and suggest some form of a recall is needed by Genesis. Genesis cannot tell me if the car is safe to drive until the part arrives, saying only if I do not feel safe to drive it, don't which was/is not very helpful nor responsible as a premium vehicle manufacturer.

2022 GENESIS GV80- Nolensville, TN
My GV80 has been randomly shutting down at low RPMs for the past 8 weeks this happens WHEN I AM DRIVING and this is happening to other GV80 owners per my service manager I spoke to yesterday. I need a new fuel pump to fix the issue but they are on back order so I am left to drive a VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE until they get this part in. This issue does not show up with any diagnostic tools (autel, global, etc) no check engine lights ever come on and my connected car health always show healthy but my car has literally shutdown on the interstate and in the middle of many roads it is horrifying and the service manager told me ONE of his customers told him he only drives in the right lane now so he can pull off quickly when his GV80 dies. This is a much bigger and more dangerous issue please look into it!
