Genesis G90 problems
The Genesis G90 is a full-size car manufactured since 2015 by the South Korean company Genesis, the luxury division of Hyundai Motor Company. A four-door sedan, the G90 is the successor of the Hyundai Equus and was known as the Genesis EQ900 in South Korea from 2015 to 2019.
First generation (HI; 2015)
The Genesis G90 debuted in South Korea on December 9, 2015 as the Genesis EQ900.
The US market debut took place at the 2016 North American International Auto Show and went on sale in September 2016 at Genesis retailers as 2017 model year vehicles. Powertrains available included the 3.3T, 3.3T HTRAC, 5.0, 5.0 HTRAC.

Common Genesis G90 problems
The Genesis G90 is a luxury sedan that has been praised for its comfort, interior, and performance. However, there are some common problems that owners have reported with this vehicle.
One of the most significant issues reported by owners is engine problems with the 5.0-liter engine in the G90 Ultimate AWD model. One owner reported that their car had a myriad of problems, including noise and vibration issues, and eventually went into limp mode after hard acceleration. The dealership was unable to identify the problem for over two months, and it was eventually found that a rocker arm was never installed in the #1 cylinder valve train. This issue highlights serious concerns with Genesis' quality control processes, and the owner ultimately hired a lemon law lawyer to seek a remedy.
Another issue reported by owners is anxiety-prone driver safety features. The 2023 Genesis G90 has a number of safety features that are designed to assist drivers, but some owners have reported that these features can be overly sensitive and cause unnecessary anxiety. For example, the lane departure warning system can be overly aggressive, causing the car to suddenly jerk back into the lane.
The new V6 engines in the 2023 Genesis G90 also have poor fuel economy. Genesis has ditched the 5.0-liter V8 for a pair of twin-turbo V6 engines for this year. While these engines produce more horsepower, they also consume more fuel. This can be a significant drawback for owners who are looking for a luxury sedan that is both powerful and fuel-efficient.
Consumer Reports expects the 2024 G90 to have about average reliability when compared to other new cars. However, it is important to note that the G90 has had some reliability issues in the past. For example, the 2018 Genesis G90 had below-average reliability, with owners reporting problems with the car's engine, transmission, and electrical system.
In summary, while the Genesis G90 is a luxurious and capable sedan, it is not without its issues. Owners have reported problems with the engine, safety features, and fuel economy. It is important for potential buyers to do their research and consider these issues before making a purchase.
What is the problem with the Genesis G90?
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2023 Genesis G90 vehicles. In the event of a crash, the front driver-side, passenger-side, and rear seat belt pretensioners may explode upon deployment.
Is the Genesis G90 a reliable car?
That's only somewhat true. According to consumerreports.com, the Genesis G90 has a reliability rating of about two out of five. That's not very good, even compared to other luxury sedans. But not every source is as negative.
How long will a Genesis G90 last?
The Genesis G90 can last for more than 40,000 miles and even up to 100,000 or more miles without many issues.
Do Genesis have engine problems?
Genesis is recalling 2019-2022 G70 sedans, 2018-2020 G80 sedans, and 2017-2022 G90 sedans equipped with 3.3-liter turbocharged V6 engines because an oil leak may develop and cause a fire. 28,349 vehicles are included in the vehicle. Earlier this month, Kia recalled some vehicles for the same issue with the same engine.

- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-08
- Date Complaint: 2023-09-13
- VIN: KMTF34PA9MU
- Components: TIRES
- Summary: This is not about a tire failure but rather dangerous mis sizing of tires from factory.I bought the car new. It was never in an accident or had a flat tire and did not have service call until this week at 13000 or so miles.the service included tire rotation and balance, but the service man called and said he wasn’t going to do it because the driver rear tire was the wrong size!!!! It was supposed to be 275/40 R19 101W but was 245/45R19 98W. The two front tires are 245’s as they should be but BOTH rears are supposed to be the 275’s! Clearly this affects handling, wear, stability etc. I’m a very careful driver but someone less careful could roll over on a fast corner turn! How many more Hyundai/ Genesis tires are mis sized? No one checks that when you buy a car!

Genesis G90 2022
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-06
- Date Complaint: 2022-11-16
- VIN: KMTF34PA5NU
- Components: SEATS
- Summary: Seat memory #1 was working when I purchased the vehicle on 9/30/2021. Meaning as I got into and started the vehicle the seat automatically went into the correct driver's position to safely drive the vehicle. It was later learned that one of the options on the vehicle was an easy out feature. Meaning the seat would move back all the way so the driver could easily exit the vehicle. The seat at this time did not go back all the way. So, the dealership installed the new part on April 6, 2022, to correct the easy out feature. After the new part was installed the seat memory for #1 would not work at all as before. Meaning the seat would not go into the number #1 position to drive the vehicle safely. Also, the new part after the installation did not correct the easy out situation either meaning the seat will not move all the way back at all for an easy out. Now when I get out of the vehicle, I have to manually repeat manually move the seat all the way back and down to force myself repeat force myself to hit the number #1 seat position when I get back into the vehicle to reset the seat in order to safety drive the vehicle. The dealership has said per Genesis the seat is operating as designed. I was not informed of this design flaw when I purchased the vehicle and if I was, I never would have purchased the vehicle.

Vehicle year: 2021
I have owned and driven luxury vehicles from Lincoln, Cadillac, and Audi, but I must say that this one is the best deal ever! While it may not have the same level of execution as my Audi's, which had better handling, ride, fuel economy, and technology, the cost to achieve that level of luxury is not justified. Genesis has done an excellent job creating a seriously comfortable car with lots of goodies to wow you. Despite the challenges that Genesis faces in moving these cars due to the popularity of SUVs and a lack of brand prestige, I was able to make an awesome deal at the end of the year because of incentives and get one for over $10K below list. What was already a great deal, became an awesome deal. At this price, I can sacrifice not having a perfect luxury and I don't need to impress anyone with a spiffy badge on the car. This car is amazing, and I love the comfort it provides. While it may not have the same performance as German automobiles and the fuel economy is not up to par with the competition, I am still getting an average of 23-24 mpg highway on ethanol blends, and 25-26 mpg on no ethanol premium. I can sacrifice some fuel economy for what I paid. The one big knock is the sound system, which occasionally shuts off on long trips. However, I have found a solution to this problem, which is to stop the car, turn it off, walk away to get the key fob out of range of the car and come back, start it up and go again. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable luxury car.I checked out the Genesis owners blog and noticed that many people have had similar experiences, but unfortunately, Genesis has not provided any solutions as this is a non-replicable problem. Despite this, I am still very pleased with my G90 after 3 years and 24,000 miles. The only other issue I have encountered is an occasional problem with the trunk release button on the dash not activating the trunk decklid. Other than that, this car has been a dream. It is incredibly comfortable, even on long road trips of 10 hours or more, unlike other vehicles I own. My family and I have taken this car on 1000+ mile trips at least 4 times and have always enjoyed the comfort it provides. The only downside is that the car sits a bit low, especially when fully loaded, and can bottom out when going over obstacles like speed bumps in parking lots. However, after 3 years of ownership, I can confidently say that I really enjoy this car. Although the new models have more eye appeal and refined features, I still believe that this was an awesome purchase for its value. It's worth noting that the new models are now listed for $20K more than when I bought mine 3 years ago, but much of that can be attributed to inflation and increased brand recognition since Genesis has successfully launched Motor Trend winners like the G70, GV70, and this year the G90. Genesis' parent company, Hyundai, is now working with dealerships to require a separate facility for Genesis and Hyundai sales and service. As a result, there will be fewer Genesis dealerships as many have decided not to incur the expense of building a new facility for Genesis.In my opinion, not having separate facilities for the Genesis brand has hurt sales. Upscale buyers may not have wanted to feel like they were in a 'budget' facility that lacked upscale amenities available at other luxury dealerships. I believe this should be changed over the next couple of years.

Vehicle year: 2019
After almost 4 years of ownership, I have driven my car for less than 24 thousand miles, but I still believe it is an excellent value. I purchased a brand new 2019 Genesis Ultimate G-90 V-8 all-wheel-drive sedan in February 2020. Previously, I owned two new Lexus LS Sedans, but I find the G-90 to be just as good. I was disappointed with the new LS sedan from Lexus, which removed the V-8 and made the styling unappealing. In contrast, the G-90 Ultimate V-8 AWD is a handsome and capable machine with an excellent ride, outstanding road feel, and impressive fit and finish. It is also a great value compared to similar models from Mercedes and Lexus, and I believe it is even better than the Lexus. With a 124-inch wheelbase, the ride is limousine smooth with a competent suspension. On our Southern Virginia back roads, my wife complains that I drive it like my Corvette, because it takes the curves and hills and high crowned roads at high speed with ease. The eight-speed transmission is silky smooth, and the 5-liter 420 horsepower fuel-injected V-8 makes passing on 2-lane backcountry roads a breeze. The cars being passed must wonder what that blurry Bentley-like car was because it went by so fast, they had no clue as to its make. The interior is incredibly comfortable, and I can load up the trunk with many hundreds of pounds of cargo without affecting the engine, transmission, or suspension. This all-wheel-drive V-8 powered silky smooth machine is a great value at $50,000 less than a Benz S-class, just like the original Lexus LS sedans in the early and mid-2000s before Lexus ruined them and upped the price. I recommend snagging a low mileage V-8 one because the turbo V-6 engine they are putting in the new Genesis cars is not as impressive as the V-8.The all wheel drive works wonderfully in slippery conditions at low and high speed. These cars are a joy and a steal. Everywhere I go and park, I return to find someone gawking at the car and inevitably asking me what it is and how much I like it. This car is a keeper. Along with the Lexus LX 570, the V-8 G-90 AWD Ultimate is a road car with manners that handles road imperfections with aplomb and carves through sharp hilly curves as if it was a train on railroad tracks. It's comfortable, handles excellently, has smooth and powerful acceleration, and amazingly good gas mileage. The service has been great at my local dealer. If I didn't already have a G-90 AWD V-8, I would go looking for a 2022 today. Everything I said in the original review still pertains. We have taken this car on many long road trips and it performs almost as well as my Corvette ragtop, yet the ride is so silky smooth and comfortable that my wife with a just replaced knee can ride home from the hospital in it comfortably in the back seat as if she was in a stretched limo. The right rear seat has a 22 position adjustment with heat and cooling. 2022 was the last year for the naturally aspirated 420 horsepower 5 liter V-8, so if you can snag a newer low mileage G-90 Ultimate AWD, hurry up before they are gone. The 2023 and later models are V-6 ONLY and the price tag has gone up by almost $30,000. HURRY UP before the 2022's with the V-8 are gone! You will not regret it. UPDATE in November of 2023: This car is still a great touring sedan with impeccable road manners and an athletic suspension with an agile and responsive drivetrain. If you can find a used G-90 Ultimate all wheel drive with the 5.0 420 horsepower V-8, BUY IT. That wimpy V-6 with turbos is no match for this car.

Vehicle year: 2019
I'm excited to share that I recently added the Genesis G 90 to my collection, which already includes a 2013 Mercedes SL 550 and a 2017 Lexus RX 350. While I loved my dream car, the BMW 745 LI, which had an MSRP of $81000, I'm thrilled to say that the G90, which costs $70000, has almost all the options available, except for the Entertainment Center for the back seats. On my recent 500-mile round trip, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't experience any noticeable back pain, which is a first for me. What's even better is that the G90 costs tens of thousands less than the flagships of the “Big Three” (BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus). I always rely on relevant reviewers, and I'm happy to report that I'm very satisfied with my new G90. In my opinion, the G90 stands equally tall alongside the “Big Three,” and if this continues to be the case, the Genesis Brand Name will only need creative marketing efforts to help people know the truth about Genesis.

The G90 is an amazing luxury car! It boasts the highest safety rating and initial quality rating among the top luxury cars. Plus, it comes with a better warranty and more features at a substantially lower price than its pricier competitors. I've been driving the AWD model for 72 months now and have had no complaints. Unlike many other high-end autos, this vehicle burns regular unleaded gas, which is another cost-saving feature. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the insurance premium is very reasonable. Although the 2023 G90 is no longer priced as an extreme value, it's still an excellent value.

This luxury sedan is truly exceptional, but unfortunately, it hasn't received the recognition it deserves due to a botched product launch by Genesis. Despite this, I ordered the 2019 5.0 Ultimate model and it was well worth the wait. My insurance company tells me that this is the 24th car I've insured in 40 years of driving, and it's by far the best. Everything about it just feels right. Car and Driver even calls it the 'zen catacomb', which I completely agree with. While there are a few minor issues, such as the turning radius being a bit large and the dashboard being non-symmetrical, they are easy to overlook. Additionally, the car comes with everything included, so there are no difficult decisions to make. Overall, it's a fabulous car that I highly recommend.This car is an excellent value. You'll be able to beat the best that Mercedes and Audi offer in the $120K range, but only pay $76K.

This car is undeniably a remarkable vehicle and an absolute joy to drive. Despite the unfortunate discontinuation of the Genesis brand by the dealership I purchased from in Jan 2020, I remain confident in the car's exceptional quality. While the Valet service was a significant selling point for me, I understand that it is provided by the dealership and is limited to a radius of about 50 miles from the dealership. Although I was disappointed to learn this, I remain satisfied with my purchase and the luxury experience it provides. My confidence in the Genesis brand remains unwavering, and I look forward to continuing to enjoy my exceptional vehicle.

Hi there! I recently purchased a brand new G90 at full MSRP from Genesis, who stated that they would provide required vehicle maintenance for 3 years and a loaner car. Unfortunately, I have discovered that loaners are not actually provided, and I have been struggling to get routine service and a serious warranty issue handled since June 16, 2020. Despite my efforts, the car was not picked up for service today, August 2, 2021, and I was informed that no loaner would be provided. Can you please help me resolve this issue? Thank you!

This is my 2nd Genesis. Mechanically, they are great and a pleasure to drive. I recently put on my 3rd set of tires with about 46k on the car. This time, I went with Michelins at about $1,700 per set. I found that Michelins ride better than Continentals, which were staunchly recommended by the dealer. The front tires are a different size from the rear, so normal rotation is out of the question. Subsequently, the dealer derated the tire warranty by 50% and told me not to expect much more than 20k miles out of the tires on this vehicle. I didn't know that they were low profile tires when I bought the car (note to self - research better next time;). I had a
