2022 GENESIS GV80 Engine Problems

Since the coasting feature on the Genesis GV80 and similar models is inoperative, it could mean that Genesis misrepresented the vehicle’s fuel efficiency and emissions performance. The coasting function is designed to disengage the engine from the drivetrain to improve fuel economy, and because it doesn’t work as advertised, real-world MPG may be lower than stated. This could mislead consumers who purchased the vehicle expecting better efficiency. Additionally, coasting reduces engine load and fuel consumption, meaning that with it disabled, carbon emissions could be higher than what was tested or certified. Since official EPA fuel economy ratings were calculated with the assumption that coasting is active, but in practice, the feature never engages, this could be considered a form of emissions cheating or consumer fraud. Such discrepancies raise regulatory concerns and provide grounds for legal action, including a class-action lawsuit, if buyers were misled into purchasing a vehicle under false claims.

The contact owns a 2022 Genesis GV80. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer on two occasions, where the ignition coils and unknown parts were replaced however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V282000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The dealer determined that cylinders #1 and #3 were misfiring. The dealer replaced the #2 fuel injector. The contact stated that upon picking up the vehicle from the dealer, the check engine warning light was no longer illuminated; however, there was a strong gasoline odor inside the vehicle, and the odor persisted while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was test-driven, and the contact was informed that the odor was no longer present. The contact stated that upon picking up the vehicle, the failure persisted. The dealer was contacted but no assistance was provided. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing hesitation while driving. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

In 2 instances power steering doesn’t work and brakes go to the floor (it will stop, but very slowly). I believe pretty much every error code displays when this happens. Here’s some error codes: C165C87, C162387, C164286, C168787, U012300, C17024A, C174281. In addition, the back windshield cleaner sprays till it empties.

"What component or system failed or malfunctioned? Is it available for inspection upon request? Vehicle turned off in the middle of the road, warning it was hot How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle was driving on the highway and suddenly turned off without warning Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by an independent dealer or service center? Yeah Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Only because of the dealer and they have no remedy Were there warning lights, messages or other symptoms of the problem before the failure and when did they first appear? No

I have been driving my car and it will automatically flip to neutral and start blinking all sorts of engine lights. I can sometimes stop the car and restart it, and it will be okay, but it typically takes a few tries. It has happened after I start my car and am in the driveway, when I'm going ~40MPH and when I'm on the interstate going >70MPH. I have an infant and have been in the car with him when this has happened. This is obviously anxiety inducing anytime I get in the car, but even more so when I need to transport him. I have requested a loaner car from multiple Genesis dealerships until they can diagnose and fix it, but most do not have appointments until September and expect me to drive my car until then.

1) This vehicle was taken in for the seatbelt pretensioner issue and was turned away due to 'no replacement parts on hand'. To be clear an appointment was made indicating this is the service needed and the dealer could not complete the work. 2) Additionally this vehicle suffers from a sudden loss of power on the highway. If vehicles are following too closely there could be a serious accident. The failure mode of this condition is triggered by high temperatures 105 to 107 F there is a persistent DTC code P0087000 which indicates inadequate fuel pressure and maybe caused by fuel pump, pressure regulator, or sensor. At least once, when the car cools off the main computer (referred to 'the head unit' by Genesis customer care) can be 'reset', and all DTCs are cleared and Check Engine Light is cleared. Several owners of G70, GV70, and GV80 owners are reporting similar "sudden loss of engine power" on the owners forum.

this is a follow up on a previous incident vehicle stalling since 24 hours after purchasing on September 29 2022. was taken to shop total of three times 2 of them towed because of stalling on middle of road. on those occasion they blamed a coil and a fuel injector. has been at dealer since October 28 2022. to this date still not repaired because after 6 months there they finally agreed and came to the conclusion that engine was defective. Cylinder chamber not creating enough pressure therefore staling the engine. now since april still waiting for a new engine to be installed.

Engine had first incident not turning in one morning and check engine light showing up. Vehicle had to be towed to neares dealer for repair. They stated there was a dirty coil and that problem was resolved. Two days later check engine e light again came back on and vehicle engine would rattle and stall. Dealer stated it was bad fuel to wait a few days. Took back to retailer this time the states there was a malfunctioning fuel injector that was replaced. 1 week later engine stalled in middle of busy main avenue in town and once again had to be towed to dealer for repair: vehicle has been at dealer since October 28 ,2022. They have replicated the problem and still can’t fix the problem have been without a vehicle for 3 months now. No loaner or rental car provided. Ci tasted manufacturer and still no remedy. Please investigate.

The vehicle has an issue stalling while in operation. The vehicle is not safe, especially when the vehicle stalls while operating in traffic. The issue puts many drivers and passengers at risk while operating on a roadway. The vehicle stalled in the following scenarios: entering a freeway, vehicle became unresponsive, but resumed power; entering traffic on an arterial roadway, but resumed power; turning at an intersection on an arterial roadway, vehicle lost power, vehicle became unresponsive and had to coast to a stop to be restarted; driving on a freeway at 70mph, vehicle became unresponsive and had to coast to a stop to be restarted; driving on an arterial roadway at 40mph, where vehicle became unresponsive and had to coast to a stop on a side street to be restarted. Retailer dealership was able to replicate the issue "three times", per the dealership, but did not get an error code or trouble code to fix the issue. On two occasions, dealership refused to address the issue further until a trouble or error code could be found. Dealership refused to keep the vehicle and to provide a loaner vehicle, despite validating that an issue existed with this vehicle and at least four other Genesis GV80 vehicles in Arizona. On August 22, 2022, dealership indicated that they would replace the high pressure fuel pump, which was an issue in the 2021 GV80 that resulted in a recall.

The engine stalls as if it's not receiving fuel. It has stalled on the open highway and when pulling off from a stop. The vehicle has completely shutoff several times in the middle of traffic at the stop light or entering the highway.
