The radiator of my 2022 Genesis GV70 was damaged due to debris. When speaking with the Genesis technicians, they informed me that this happens frequently with this make and model becuase of the way the grille was manufactured. There is essentially no protection to the radiator which can cause damage to it without your knowledge. I was told it doesn't take a large rock to damage it and you probably wouldn't even know that it happened. Damage to the radiator can cause major issues to the vehicle while driving, potentially causing a major accident on the highway. The repair to the car was not covered, as they claim it was an external factor that caused it, even though the poorly designed grille should protect something as important as a radiator.
The coolant system on my 2022 Genesis GV70 has repeatedly failed despite multiple repairs. On April 2, Greenway Genesis diagnosed a coolant leak and replaced several components. The problem returned, and I brought the vehicle back on April 29 because the coolant appeared low again and the engine sounded louder than before. On October 25, Holler Hyundai confirmed another coolant leak, this time involving the integrated thermal management system. The recurring coolant loss places my safety at risk because it can lead to engine overheating, sudden power loss, or engine failure while driving. The issue has been reproduced and confirmed by two separate Genesis/Hyundai service centers. However, the root cause has not been identified or corrected, and the manufacturer has not provided a permanent solution. The vehicle has been inspected multiple times by authorized dealerships, and repair invoices are available for review. Despite these failures, no coolant warning light or dashboard message ever appeared, which raises concern that a sensor or monitoring component may not be functioning correctly. There were no warnings or messages at any point before or during the coolant loss. The vehicle is currently at Greenway Genesis and is available for inspection. Based on multiple repeated failures and the absence of any warning indicators, there appears to be an unresolved defect that could create a safety hazard while the vehicle is in operation.
I was driving and I wasnt merging, no one was in front or behind me and my car had a collision warning and forced me to brake 3 times in a row. I was going 30 miles per hour and it made me brake really quickly, then it went forward, broke again by itself, went and then broke one more time. I had to wait for it to be normal before entering the freeway. Very scary
We (wife and I) are the owner of a 2022 Genesis GV70. The vehicle has had multiple dangerous incidents affecting steering and driver control. Most recent event (dated 9/11/25): While driving at ~30 mph on city streets, an alarm sounded, the steering suddenly became very stiff, and the word “Emergency” appeared on the dashboard. This condition lasted briefly but made steering extremely difficult. Prior events (approx. six over the past two years): While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle has suddenly begun to swerve side to side with an alarm sounding — even though the lane assist feature was turned off. These incidents occur randomly, without warning, and cannot be reproduced on demand. Each time, she had to fight the steering to maintain control. Dealer inspection: The vehicle was taken to the Genesis dealership after earlier incidents. They found no diagnostic codes and offered no explanation or repair. Safety Concern: This vehicle appears to have a serious safety defect affecting steering control and stability. The unpredictable loss of normal steering or sudden emergency intervention poses a high risk of an accident. I request that NHTSA investigate this issue to determine whether it is part of a wider defect requiring recall or corrective action.
I experienced a significant safety issue while operating my vehicle. After initiating a turn, the vehicle's acceleration defaulted, causing it to reach speeds of 60 mph in just a few seconds. This rapid increase in speed resulted in the loss of control, leading the vehicle to crash into a guardrail. The incident raised serious concerns about the vehicle’s safety features, including the effectiveness of the acceleration system, braking mechanisms, and stability control. I recommend that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigate this issue to prevent future accidents and ensure better safety.
SAFETY DEFECT: Water intrusion through defective sunroof drainage system creating electrical hazards. Vehicle exhibits water leakage into interior during rainfall due to clogged sunroof drain hose plugs. Water accumulates in dashboard area, cup holders, and center console where electrical components are located, creating potential for electrical shorts, fires, or system failures. Component Failure: Sunroof drainage system fails to properly channel water away from vehicle interior. Manufacturer has issued Technical Service Bulletin 24-BD-008G acknowledging this defect in GV70 and GV80 models, stating "vehicles may exhibit water leakage inside the vehicle due to the sunroof drain hose plugs being clogged with foreign material." Safety Risk: Standing water near electrical systems poses fire hazard and potential electrical failure while driving. Interior materials remain saturated creating mold conditions affecting air quality. Driver visibility may be compromised by water dripping from interior surfaces. Dealer Confirmation: Multiple owners report Genesis service technicians confirming drainage system design cannot handle normal rainfall volumes. Other owners have received warranty repairs for identical symptoms after manufacturer initially resisted. Symptoms: No warning lamps appear. Problem manifests during any rainfall with water appearing in cup holders, dashboard areas, and dripping from interior panels. Issue occurs while vehicle is parked or in motion during rain. Widespread Problem: Manufacturer acknowledgment through official Technical Service Bulletin indicates this affects multiple vehicles with same design defect. Component available for inspection. Status: Manufacturer refuses warranty repair despite published Technical Service Bulletin documenting this exact defect. Additional Details: Approximate date incident occurred: Enter the first date you noticed water intrusion (e.g., "March 15, 2025")
My vehicle has an electrical sensor issue. The Doors do not always open when fob button is pressed. Locks up and does not perform as described by manufacturer. This makes shopping feel a little scary as we have grown accustomed to a car that would open as we approached it. Not sure from day to day whether it will work or not. The Tailgate does not open and after over a dozen visits and at least fifteen days in the shop there is still no resolution to this problem. This means loading and unloading cargo from a side door. Less than ideal. 15 days with three plus visits. The last event occurred about 10 days ago when the air conditioner went out. We have air but no cool air as the ac compressor stoped working. We had the advantage of the car already being scheduled for the door and gate problem now compounded by the AC unit being broke.
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.
Just picked up the gv70 from the dealer for stall out issue and TCM replacement. I have taken it 2 times to the dealer for the stalling out issue and since they can't reproduce the issue its a non issue to them. Having a vehicle stall out unexpectedly is not safe. I believe it has to be a fuel issue, have found other owners that have the same issue and it was their fuel pumps. It is currently at the dealer again for this stalling out issue. I cannot upload any documents as they are in the vehicle.
suddenly stalling and shutting off while driving. No warning. Very dangerous. No parts available
The vehicle is shutting down during regular routine driving. Stops in mid traffic with no warning. It is very dangerous and someone could be fatally injured.
I was driving down the interstate at 70 mph when my gas pedal stopped responding and the car was slowing down. Suddenly the car started beeping at me saying the engine was shut off and I needed to put it into park or neutral immediately. This happened a week prior on a 45 mph road and I was able to restart the car with no issues. This time, my car restarted when I got off the highway but immediately shut down again. It is incredibly dangerous to have a car shut down suddenly especially on a highway.
The contact owns a 2022 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled. Additionally, while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. Additionally, while driving 65-70 MPH the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure persisted. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer however, the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Gettel Genesis of Lakewood Gettel (5921 FL-64, Bradenton, FL 34208) but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.
Mileage: 1,000
When accelerating from a stop the vehicle will hesitate to go, then begins to buck as if it is trying to go which causes a whiplash motion. The vehicle has also hesitated to go, then bucked then stalled on us during acceleration after a turn. Thankfully, we were on a street that was not busy at the time. The episodes are getting worse and more frequent but the dealership doesn’t seem to want to address the issue even though multiple videos have been sent to the service manager.
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
On the top trim of the Genesis GV70, with the upgraded sport break and gas pedals the ergonomics for both pedals are horrible. The gas pedal in particular requires a significant amount of force to be depressed from a normal driving position in all drive mode (except the sport modes) resulting in pain and frequent muscle contract episodes while driving- which caused be to pull off on the soft shoulder while driving on the highway as I was unable to continue driving. It has also caused prolonged pain in my Achilles tendon and I’m unable to drive the car without a leg brace, or I may experience severe muscle contract while driving which would prevent me from pressing gas all together. Its only noticeable after at least 3 weeks of constant driving, so its not something new buyers would be able to identify readily. Additionally the lower trims GV70s have different brake and gas pedals which are more ergonomic, and require significantly less force to be depressed so it wont be noticeable on those trims.
The front windshield of the car is not sturdy. I have two road trips and a small stone hit the front windshield and is easily chipped. I have two experience with this kind of incident my speed was within normal range and other incident was city driving.
