Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The engine shut off during driving on October 19th and October 21 2023. The Engine sputters and ceased while in traffic then flashed an Engine Off! Warning and made a grinding noise stopping. During the incident on October 21st I was in a heavily trafficked road and lost power at about 20 miles an hour, the resulting engine shut down almost got me rear ended by a vehicle moving much faster.”

NHTSA complaint #11551261, filed 2023-10

“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.”

NHTSA complaint #11541830, filed 2023-08

“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.”

“As I was driving on a heavily trafficked freeway, my engine shut off completely slowing down the car to a stop. I had to make an emergency exit, stop the car and restart it. After a restart I was able to keep driving for a few miles. Then it happened again, I got stuck at a roundabout in a dangerous location so I had to contact authorities for help on guiding traffic away. My car would not start and would just sputter when I tried to restart it. I had to get my vehicle towed and it's currently at the dealership with no clear solution. …”

NHTSA complaint #11541610, filed 2023-08

“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.”
