This Problem Across All Years
Started car. Would not accelerate past 30-40 miles an hour even when I pressed the Gas Pedal to the floor. I pulled over and turned the car off. On restart it seems to be fine. The Genesis GV 70 forum is replete with owners having the same issue. This is a 2022 with less than 25,000 miles on the Odometer. There are not many of these cars on the road and probably many owners are unaware that this seems to be a recurring issue on many of these models. I implore the NHTSA to look into this matter quickly before fatal accidents , if they haven’t occurred already, happen.

I have been getting a number of safety warning lights since about 6 months after buying this car. It is new, under warranty and I am first owner. They were intermittent initially, but have become increasingly frequent and are now associated with a constant warning ping. I have taken the car to FitzGerald Genesis in Clearwater Florida 7 times for this problem. They can reproduce it (and have the codes) but they can not fix it (I took it to Crown Genesis of St. Pete twice for this problem) Genesis has not been interested in repurchasing this car under the lemon law - but offered me 2 car payments to sign a release of liability which I declined. They then called and asked if I could bring the car back for an 8th (really 10th) attempt to fix. They are aware that the safety features are not working (including Adaptive cruise control, lane sensing, forward collision detection, stability control among others) I am in Maine for the summer - but I arranged for a neighbor to drive the car to them. It was in an accident. I am offended that Genesis would ask anyone to drive that car in this unsafe condition. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

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.

The first incident I had occurred approximately three weeks ago. I began accelerating from a stop light when I felt something jerk. My car began to slow down and it would not accelerate. The car would not go over 20 mph per hour. This incident was extremely dangerous as I was on a highway that has a speed limit of 55 mph. I brought the car to the Genesis dealership. They diagnosed it as a bad fuel pump. I got the car back 3 weeks later (today 09/13/2023) and drove it about 10 miles before I experienced a similar issue. I was stopped at a red light when the car began to shake. The car would not accelerate over 15 mph. I brought the car back to the dealership to be looked at again. I will know more when they reopen tomorrow. These incidents are extremely dangerous especially on highways. I am scared to drive this car again for fear it will happen on the interstate or when I am unable to pull over. The replaced fuel pump did not fix the issue.

As I was driving, my vehicle completely stopped in traffic. All vehicle functions became disabled. Even when putting the car in neutral, it would not budge. Had it not been for construction workers helping me, I could have been killed due to the heavy traffic flow.

This happened twice before I took the car back to the dealer for service. Both times I was driving the vehicle and it suddenly stops accelerating. The car suddenly comes to a stop. I continued pressing the accelerator and the car continued to quickly slow down to a stop. Both times I was in traffic and could have been rear ended or certainly could have caused an accident. The car is currently at the dealer and they have not called me yet to know what they found. I am a member of the GV70 Facebook group and I have seen many other owners who reported the same issue with their vehicle. It truly is terrifying and obviously a safety risk. Some members of the group stated that they were told it was the fuel pump. Genesis needs to get this issue fixed.

At 65 miles an hour on the interstate, I suddenly lost control of the accelerator and the car immediately began to lose speed. I pulled into the breakdown lane and came to a stop. I put the car in park and attempted to increase the engine speed by pressing on the accelerator. It was only when I jammed my foot to the floor that the engine responded. I then drove the car carefully to a Genesis dealer where I was told that this happens to the GV 70 when it is in Eco mode. The car is now at the dealer who will attempt to fix it, I hope.

The location of the sensors for the forward collision, adaptive cruise control and lane departure are located too low in the front grill. During snow conditions ice and snow cover the sensors and they do not operated properly. I purchased my vehicle in August 2021 and last winter as well as today (December 16, 2022 while driving near Chicago I encountered several instances where the above systems did not work properly. I contacted my local dealer as well as the Genesis Motor Vehicle company. The dealer confirmed they had several similar complaints to mine. I was advised by both the local dealer as well as Genesis Motor company to turn the systems off in snowy conditions. Disconnecting the system results in an unsafe situation. The location of the sensors is too close to the pavement. Genesis needs to correct this design flaw.
