“Genesis uses soy-based wiring in the engine without any rodent protection. We had rats chewing the wires in the engine last year in April, for $6.9k repair cost and again this year in February for $7.4k in repair cost. This car cost way too much to own, the repairs take about 5 to 6 weeks to complete, and most importantly this cat is a major safety concern to me and my family.”
NHTSA complaint #11641241, filed 2025-02“There is an intermittent malfunction on startup. A warning alarm and large graphic saying, check tire pressure monitoring system. The vehicle has a full bumper-to-bumper warranty from the manufacturer. I have documented the problem through multiple videos and pictures, but since the diagnostic codes show everything is fine, the dealer is refusing to do anything at all. I don't feel safe driving a car that has random alarm warnings regarding tire pressure.”
NHTSA complaint #11767866, filed 2026-09“While exiting a highway at normal speed and with no impact, collision, or obstacle of any kind, the airbags in this 2023 Genesis GV70 deployed spontaneously. The unexpected deployment caused me to lose control of the vehicle, and a three-car collision followed. I sustained a head injury and aggravation of a pre-existing traumatic brain injury; I remain under medical care. There was no crash before the deployment - the deployment caused the crash. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appeared before the failure. …”
NHTSA complaint #11754243, filed 2026-08“While driving on the expressway during rush-hour traffic, multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard and several error messages appeared. At the same time, the vehicle began repeatedly jerking while I was traveling at low speed in heavy traffic. I continued driving for approximately 10 seconds, but the jerking continued. Because of the unusual vehicle behavior and the warning messages, I pulled over to the side of the road. After stopping, I attempted to shift the transmission into Park, but the vehicle would not allow me to change the gear. …”
NHTSA complaint #11765829, filed 2026-09“Catastrophic failure of a brand new 2023 Genesis GV 70 on 6/6/23. The GV70 was purchased on 4/29/23 with 22 miles. It was not driven between 5/12/23 and 5/26/23 while I was out of the country. On the evening on 6/6/23 as I was merging onto the northbound lanes of the Baltimore Washington Parkway from I-295 DC, the vehicle violently shook, burning smell, and then shut off completely, including the steering column. I was able to partially drift to a right shoulder with the driver side of the vehicle still in a lane of traffic. I called the U.S. …”
