“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“No warning and no engine light when gas pedal is pressed down there is little to no acceleration. I was pulling out in the middle of traffic when this malfunction occurred. I could have been T-boned by oncoming vehicles and killed. It was not until I drove the vehicle a little longer that the engine light came on. The vehicles notification center showed a malfunction of the transmission. A diagnostic scan showed trouble codes P0763-Shift Solenoid C-Electrical and P0880-TCM Power Input Signal-Malfunction.”
NHTSA complaint #11534729, filed 2023-07“After my test, here's what I found: If the cruise control is Off and you press and hold the cruise control button for more than 2 seconds, the speed limit function activates as indicated by the Limit indicator on the multi-function display. In this mode, if the vehicle speed exceeds the limit speed and you press on the gas, the power is immediately cut off, and you can't accelerate. If the vehicle exceeds the limit speed, a warning bell will sound, and the speed will flash and power is cut when pressing on the gas. …”
NHTSA complaint #11509779, filed 2023-03“I purchased the vehicle on March 30, 2023, & my Check engine light has been on eleven times since June 2023. I was involved in a car accident on August 25, 2023, where the car appeared to have no gas. However, gas was in the vehicle, and the brakes were not operating correctly as I had to continue pumping the brakes to stop the vehicle. Furthermore, there is over $15k in damages and counting. I have been placed off work due to the injuries sustained in the vehicle accident due to the negligence of the manufacturer & dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #11543224, filed 2023-09“Engine, transmission/propulsion and or fuel system is impacted. Vehicle loses power and pressing the throttle doesn’t increase the engine rpms and or vehicle speed. It happens randomly at both city and highway driving speeds. It’s almost like the gears aren’t shifting or the vehicle doesn’t increase the speed. Sometimes a it would work fine after a key cycle. I’ve had a few instances of it and there’s no check engine light. I took a video of it from last night when it happened. It’s a big safety risk trying to pass other cars. …”
