Common 2022 Genesis Gv70 problems
The 2022 Genesis GV70 has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. These issues include powertrain problems, fuel leaks, malfunctioning brakes, windshields cracking, and transmission failures.
Powertrain issues are a significant concern for many GV70 owners. Seven owners have reported experiencing a "whining/grinding noise" just before the drivetrain failed, causing the vehicle to stall and requiring them to exit the highway.
Fuel leaks have also been reported in certain 2021 Genesis G80 and GV80 vehicles equipped with 2.5-litre turbo engines. The fuel tube connecting the high pressure fuel pump to the fuel rail may not seal properly, potentially resulting in a fuel leak. The dealership will replace the high pressure fuel tube at no cost to address this issue.
Malfunctioning brakes are another concern for GV70 owners. Some drivers have reported issues with the vehicle's brakes, including a loss of brake pressure and a failure to stop the vehicle properly. This can be a serious safety issue and should be addressed promptly by a Genesis dealership.
Windshields cracking is another problem that has been reported by GV70 owners. Some drivers have noticed cracks in their windshields, which can be a significant safety concern while driving. This issue has been attributed to both external influences and stress cracks, and dealerships have been known to refuse to cover the cost of repairs in some cases.
Transmission failures have also been reported by GV70 owners. Some drivers have experienced issues with the vehicle's transmission, including stalling and a failure to accelerate properly. This can be a significant safety issue and should be addressed promptly by a Genesis dealership.
In summary, the 2022 Genesis GV70 has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. These issues include powertrain problems, fuel leaks, malfunctioning brakes, windshields cracking, and transmission failures. If you are experiencing any of these issues with your GV70, it is important to contact a Genesis dealership promptly to address the problem and ensure the safety of your vehicle.

POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-04
- VIN: KMUMADTB2NU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-11
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KMUMCDTC5NU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: I have been getting a number of safety warning lights since about 6 months after buying this car. It is new, under warranty and I am first owner. They were intermittent initially, but have become increasingly frequent and are now associated with a constant warning ping. I have taken the car to FitzGerald Genesis in Clearwater Florida 7 times for this problem. They can reproduce it (and have the codes) but they can not fix it (I took it to Crown Genesis of St. Pete twice for this problem) Genesis has not been interested in repurchasing this car under the lemon law - but offered me 2 car payments to sign a release of liability which I declined. They then called and asked if I could bring the car back for an 8th (really 10th) attempt to fix. They are aware that the safety features are not working (including Adaptive cruise control, lane sensing, forward collision detection, stability control among others) I am in Maine for the summer - but I arranged for a neighbor to drive the car to them. It was in an accident. I am offended that Genesis would ask anyone to drive that car in this unsafe condition. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-30
- Number Of Injuries: 2
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KMUMADTB4NU
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: I was in a collision where another vehicle crashed into me at the driver's side front corner of my car. The other driver was going at least 30 miles per hour; I was probably going 10-20 miles per hour. None of my airbags deployed despite the collision resulting in a total loss to my vehicle.
POWER TRAIN,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-30
- VIN: KMUMCDTCXNU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Been A Loyal Enthusiastic Hyundai & Genesis Owner For 22 Years. 6 Santa Fe's 3 Genesis. FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2024. Went to garage to start... "LIMITED SLIP" WARNING AND MULTIPLE DRIVER ASSIST WARNINGS FLASHING ON DIGITAL DASHBOARD. WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. TOWED TO DEALER SATURDAY MORNING. DEALER HAS NOT LOOKED AT GV70 TO DIAGNOSE IN 7 DAYS. 3 OTHER GENESIS HAD BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALER AS WELL AND WERE SITTING NEXT TO MINE. DEALER IS DOING WHAT THEY CAN BUT NOW HAVE MORE THAN 3X SERVICE FROM RECENTLY CLOSED GENESIS DEALERS IN A 60-70 MILE RADIUS. GENESIS DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES ARE REAL AND UNRESOLVED AND AFFECT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF GV VEHICLES. GENESIS DEALER ISSUES OF TAKING ON SERVICE FROM CLOSED GENESIS DEALERS, NO APPOINTMENTS FOR MONTHS, NO LOANERS & UNABLE TO REPAIR AND/OR MULTIPLE REPAIRS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ARE REAL AND AFFECT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF GV OWNERS. These issues are now insurmountable for the near term and, at 72 years old, the "near term" is very important to me. GENESIS AND NHTSA ARE NOW WELL AWARE OF THESE DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES WHICH CAN RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. A NATIONAL RECALL IS REQUIRED AS WELL AS A "PERMANENT" FIX. CURRENT DEALERSHIPS ARE HEAVILY IMPACTED WITH PICKING UP MANY ADDITIONAL SERVICE CALLS FROM CLOSED GENESIS DEALERS. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY OR THE ABILITY TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THESE ISSUES IN A TIMELY MANNER. A NATIONAL RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED BY NHTSA / FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND REQUIRE A "TIMELY PERMANENT REPAIR" OR A FULL COMPENSATION IMMEDIATE BUYBACK.
STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-05
- VIN: KMUMADTB4NU
- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: In April 2024, I was driving down a side street at about 30 mph. Suddenly there was a slam against the side of the car. I pulled over a block later and found that the passenger side mirror housing had gone into the "closed/locked" position, evidently at speed, dislodging the side mirror. The mirror had then slammed into the car door frame, denting it, and cracking the mirror, causing some of it to shatter away. Thankfully, my car windows were closed or I would likely have had glass shards flying into my car cabin at high speed. There is no damage at all to the mirror housing. I have no explanation for the sudden, fast closing movement other than something that caused it to think it needed to close. I took the car to a Genesis dealer. Without any examination, they told me it "could not be" a flaw in the car; that there must have been an impact. I asked how that could happen with no damage to the mirror housing at a high enough speed to completely dislodge the glued-in and fastened-in mirror and dent the window frame on the car. They had no explanation. I then reported this to Genesis. Their response was I would have to take it to a dealer to be looked at. Neither dealer in the area would sell me a new mirror to self-install and were "squirrely" about when a repair could be made, citing "supply chain" problems getting a replacement mirror. Three weeks ago (late June), while driving on a highway at approximately 70 mph, the same passenger side mirror housing suddenly slammed into the closed position. There was no damage to the car because the mirror was already missing. But this makes me very concerned about replacing the mirror if this intermittent problem is going to recur. I have an appointment at a different dealership scheduled for the end of this month and (along with the open recall and standard service) am asking them to look at this problem again. Pictures provided are of damaged mirror, dented car window frame, and undamaged mirror housing.
TIRES PROBLEM

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,000.
SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-06
- Number Of Deaths: 2
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KMUMCDTC3NU
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: The contact's father-in-law owned a 2022 Genesis GV70. The contact stated while the driver was driving at an undisclosed speed during rainy weather conditions, the driver crashed into a Ford Fusion at an unknown location and there was a third vehicle impacted that crashed into a wall. The driver of the vehicle that crashed into a wall sustained fatal injuries and no further information was available. The driver's seat belt was fastened however it failed to restrain him during the impact. The air bags deployed. The contact stated according to the police report filed, the fatality of their father-in-law was caused by seat belt failure. The contact stated the father-in-law hit their head on the steering wheel causing blunt force trauma on impact to be the cause of death. The vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss. The failure mileage was unknown.
POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-16
- VIN: KMUMADTB6NU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
- Summary: 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.
SUSPENSION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-29
- VIN: KMUMADTB9NU
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: Driving down side road about 35-40 MPH with my son, hit a hole in road. Car made a loud boom with immediate signs of problem. (No airbag deploy or warning signs showing on app or on dash) Pulled over to find no issue with tires, body of car or rims of tire. Upon raising hood, found passenger front strut had pushed through engine casing and was hitting top of hood. Fortunately, I was not on a major highway as that could have led to something more serious. (I realize hitting a hole can cause damage but this seems to be a design flaw and I am worried now every time I hit a bump it will trigger this. I get tire/rim damage, but this is pretty significant.) I have an insurance adjuster looking at it now, notified Genesis Corporation and spoke to the Dealer who claims it's an insurance claim. In my research I have found a forum indicating this has happened to others and Genesis hasn't provided a recall or notified users of this as a safety concern. The pictures and description are consistent across the drivers. I just think this is something that needs to be researched before someone gets seriously hurt.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-20
- VIN: KMUMCDTCXNU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Car started bucking and lost power. Turned back into my neighborhood and it only went about 20mph and struggled to get back to my house. Totally shut down and I had it towed to dealership. I had about 1/8 tank of gas and no low fuel warning lights on. Dealership said it was out of gas even though gas showed 27 mikes left. I know for sure it wasn’t out of gas. I don’t feel safe driving this car. I only have 18000 miles on it.
ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-22
- VIN: KMUMADTB3NU
- Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: The car loses power to accelerate in the middle of driving. I have to stop and turn it off and restart the car, then it will become normal for a little while before the same issue repeats again. It is really scary and can be very dangerous driving on a highway.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-11-21
- VIN: KMUMADTB5NU
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: I was on 495 southbound and the car lost power, and almost crashed. I had a recall (low-pressure fuel PumP) but the dealer is not taking me because I am not the original owner of the vehicle, I went to Fitzgerald-Hyundai Genesis Subaru of Gaithersburg, and Mr. Brett Davis turned me out. Need to know who is going to fix my problem, sincerely [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-11-20
- VIN: KMUMCDTC7NU
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I received a recall notice stating that Genesis will "replace the low-pressure fuel pump assembly". I scheduled the appointment for the replacement, however, the dealer informed me that they would inspect the fuel pump part number and if the recall applied then they would order the part number and once they receive the part they will call me to schedule a time to make the repair. The recall notice said it applied to my vehicle and that the remedy was to replace the fuel pump so I don't understand why they told me that they had to inspect it first and then order the part before making the recall repair. This only increases the time that my unsafe vehicle is on the road. Of course their inspection indicated that the fuel pump needed to be replaced since I had received the recall notice saying just that.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-03
- VIN: KMUMADTB5NU
- Components: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
- Summary: The contact owns a 2022 Genesis GV70. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a left turn, the vehicle lost motive power and failed to accelerate. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the low-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,500.
SUSPENSION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-12
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KMUMADTB8NU
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: I was driving my vehicle down a pier to the parking entrance for the USS Midway, 610 N Harbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92101, when for no reason my 2022 GV70, AWD, veered sharply (45 degrees) to the right and made violently contact with a cement block on the pier used to moor ships. I believe there was a failure of the right front suspension system. When I got out of the vehicle to inspect the damage I found some broken bushings on the ground. They were split in half. The right wheel was pushed back 18 inches. I collected all the broken parts and had the vehicle towed to Sun Road Collision Center, 7303 Clairmont Blvd, San Diego, CA 92111. I asked them to save all the broken parts of the suspension system. The USS Midway does have a film of the incident. I was trying to get them to release the video to me. I will upload the photos that I took. I was the only one in the vehicle and knew if that concrete block was not there to stop me I would have gone into San Diego Bay and possibly drowned. The damaged parts are at the Collision Center. I asked them if they saw anything unusual to let me know. I have filed a claim and told what I believe happened to my insurance company, USAA. No police report was filed since the incident occurred off the highway. Two members of the Miday safety team came and provided assistance to me until the tow truck arrived. There were no warning signs or any other indication that this accident was going to occur.
ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-17
- VIN: KMUMADTB5NU
- Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: There were 3 incidents that have happened within a 2 week period driving this vehicle. 1. Driving in the middle of a 5 lane highway in busy traffic, car shut down. It almost caused a crash with me being hit from the back. 2. I was traveling around a deep curve, car stalled and was almost hit from the back by a transfer truck. was very thankful he could stop in time. I could not proceed to go to the right due to embankment. Very frightening. 3. Approaching a light that turned from red to green, car stalled at the light. It just cut off. It seems as if the company has no intentions on getting this problem fixed because it has almost been 3 months now since the recall. Does it take someone to be killed before they make the change to get these vehicles operable?
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-21
- VIN: KMUMADTB0NU
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: 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.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-01
- VIN: KMUMADTB5NU
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: While driving my vehicle on multiple circumstances, the vehicle began having acceleration issues. This has happened while merging onto the highways and making turns. When it does this, you literally have to pull off the road because you can’t merge onto the highway at 25 mph without causing an accident. When it starts having acceleration issues, it will lock my speed and shoot my rpm’s to levels where it shouldn’t be, usually between 3-4, sometimes 5-6 while locking my speed between 25-35. It will lock your speed for 10-15 seconds and then it eventually will come to. It does not emit any sensors on the dashboard when it does this. My dealership has had my vehicle before to diagnose this issue, but due to it happening intermittently, it is hard to replicate it because it does not happen every single day. Prior to my dealership picking up my car this last time, it happened 4 times in a week but has happened 3 times since I got it back after they could not replicate the issue.
ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-01
- VIN: KMUMADTB1NU
- Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Random engine stalling creating safety incidents in traffic. Failure to diagnose the problem despite repeated attempts by 2 service depts.The problem became more frequent and severe until the car stalled and could not be restarted. Low pressure fuel pump assembly was replaced and the car is currently okay. This problem has cost me over 6 weeks use of my car and several dangerous traffic incidents.
STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-02-25
- VIN: KMUMCDTC3NU
- Components: STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE
- Summary: Lane keeping assist veers out of highway lane when an unlined entrance- exit appears. Vehicle is looking for the right line and swerves out of the lane to find it. Could cause a collision with an incoming vehicle. 2nd part the vehicle shimmies down the highway for the same reason when space between dashed lines appear. Constantly correcting itself. Solution would be a recall to reprogram all Hyundai and Genesis vehicles with lane following to only look at the left lines.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-25
- VIN: KMUMCDTC1NU
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: The first incident I had occurred approximately three weeks ago. I began accelerating from a stop light when I felt something jerk. My car began to slow down and it would not accelerate. The car would not go over 20 mph per hour. This incident was extremely dangerous as I was on a highway that has a speed limit of 55 mph. I brought the car to the Genesis dealership. They diagnosed it as a bad fuel pump. I got the car back 3 weeks later (today 09/13/2023) and drove it about 10 miles before I experienced a similar issue. I was stopped at a red light when the car began to shake. The car would not accelerate over 15 mph. I brought the car back to the dealership to be looked at again. I will know more when they reopen tomorrow. These incidents are extremely dangerous especially on highways. I am scared to drive this car again for fear it will happen on the interstate or when I am unable to pull over. The replaced fuel pump did not fix the issue.
ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-25
- VIN: KMUMCDTC2NU
- Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Three weeks ago while returning to SC from Fl on I95, the engine jolted, stalled momentarily , and would not accelerate to keep up with traffic. I pulled over, turned off the engine, and re-started the engine. It started and sounded normal, as did the car diagnostic screen which showed nothing abnormal. An hour later and engine stalled again ( in traffic) and yet the diagnostic screen continued to show "all normal". Initially I suspected bad gas, but that theory proved wrong when, with a full tank of fresh gas, it stalled and stopped mid-traffic . In all these incidents I was very lucky to not have been hit by distracted driver. The car was towed to my Genesis dealer, and after a perfunctory check they said that using all their diagnostic tools, the car showed ZERO alerts. I refused their answer and insisted that it be test driven by one their staff. After receiving my permission to do so, one poor fellow drove it to his home, but it broke down well before arriving there. At this juncture they finally understood that they had an issue. Here is where it get's interesting, because my tech savvy son surfed several forums such as Reddit, Facebook and Genesis owners site, and discovered many references to fuel pump failures, stalling, near accidents and the like. I don't know how you rate the severity of car safety issues, but I suspect that total engine failure must rate pretty high. All I ask is that you rattle Genesis' cage and ask them how many fuel pump issues/ replacements they have had over the past two years. My hunch is that it is a material percentage. I find it unacceptable that with today's technology, a defect like this which can endanger lives on any road at any speed, is left unchallenged.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-29
- VIN: KMUMADTB7NU
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: On a few occasions when stopped. Upon acceleration this vehicle would sputter or stall. On Aug. 29, 2023, while driving on the interstate and attempting to pass on the left lane. My speed was around 70 MPH. This vehicle would not accelerate and stated to come to a complete stop. I was able to pull off the road and restart this vehicle. If I was in the middle lanes. This vehicle would have caused a bad accident. As I drove home this vehicle stalled twice. Attempting to accelerate at a light at an intersection. This vehicle stalled in the middle of the intersection. I again avoided an accident attempting to accelerate and restart the vehicle. I was able to drive this vehicle to the dealership, Aug. 30. Since the dealership would not return my calls. The manager informed me that it was the fuel pump. He also stated that he had other vehicle with this same problem. All the fuel pumps are on back order. Also, the recall several months ago for the seat belts. Those parts are also on back order. In my judgment this vehicle is unsafe to operate. Until this issue is investigated by the government and approved to be safe fot the road.
POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-12
- VIN: KMUMADTB3NU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.

Let me start by saying that the GV 70 won the 2022 car of the year award, and for good reason. I purchased the Sport Prestige model in July and have already driven over 10,000 miles without encountering a single issue. I am surprised to see a one-star review, as the fit and finish of this car is superior to most vehicles that cost over 100k. The material choices and features of the Germans at this price point cannot even compare. Whether you opt for the base model or the top trim, the value and quality of this small sport crossover is immense. I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new car. 🚗💨

I have test driven the X3, GLC and Macan and found that they do not provide the same level of thrill and excitement as the GV70. Despite being a newer brand, Genesis understands what customers want and is committed to delivering it. In contrast, other luxury brands such as BMW and Mercedes often rely on their reputation to justify their high prices, but their overall ratings are not as impressive. If you want to save money without sacrificing quality, consider buying the GV70.

I recently traded in my X3 and I am absolutely thrilled with the 2.5 T engine. The vehicle is truly unique on the road, with more than enough power and a well-organized interior that clearly rivals its German competitors. I highly recommend this vehicle. I have been driving it for a year now and I couldn't be happier. It is by far the best SUV in its class. I still get stopped regularly by people wanting to know how I like it. Bravo Genesis!

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my experience with the GV70 2.5 T 300 HP Genesis. I found the service and warranty to be excellent, and I'm really enjoying the SUV's smooth ride and affordable accessories. While the gas mileage may not be the best, I did some research and compared it to other similar SUVs, and ultimately decided that the Genesis was the best choice for me. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase!

I would have given a higher rating, but unfortunately my experience with Genesis North America customer service over a very well documented issue was extremely disappointing. My GV70 had an issue that set it into a sort of limp mode, seriously lacking performance, without any code or visible sign of issue, and remaining unexplained to this day. I was able to resume driving the car after turning it off then back on again, but from that point forward there was a slight hesitation when accelerating. Despite my attempts to work with Genesis customer service, I unfortunately did not receive the support I was hoping for. I wrote to the company's COO in detail about my issue and subsequent, substantial out of pocket expense for my new car that I believed should have been covered by warranty, but unfortunately my letter was never read. Instead, my concerns were addressed by Genesis middle management that gave me a runaround, albeit courteous, but offered no explanation or resolution for the detail issues that I reported, and did not escalate as I requested. I gave Genesis North America ample time and every opportunity to address my concerns, but unfortunately to no avail. Although I love the car, I regretfully have lost trust in Genesis and would not buy the Genesis brand again nor would I recommend the GV70 to anyone. I regret having bought a car and brand whose company executives do not appreciate a customer's sincere feedback that may help them to improve their brand and customer satisfaction.

I signed a 3-year lease for my 2022 GV70 in September 2021. From the moment I stepped into the Genesis dealership, I knew this was the car for me. The Matte Green color is visually stunning, and the interior is just as impressive. With every bell and whistle you can imagine, this car is a true luxury vehicle at a fraction of the cost of its competitors. Having owned both luxury and non-luxury brands in the past, I can confidently say that this is the best car I have ever owned. However, I experienced some issues with the car a few months ago. Despite the dealership running a diagnostic and finding nothing wrong, the car continued to stall while driving on the highway. This culminated in the car suddenly dying while driving with my family, which was a scary experience. After towing the car to the dealership, they found an issue with the fuel injector, which took two weeks to fix. Although the car seemed fine after that, the AC went out a week later on the 4th of July. While these issues were frustrating, I am confident that the Genesis team will resolve them and ensure that I can continue to enjoy my car for years to come.Although I was initially impressed with the appearance and interior of the Genesis GV70, I have unfortunately experienced major engine problems with the car, even with less than 10k miles on it. This is a serious issue that has left me feeling disappointed and concerned for my safety. While I understand that there may be issues with a first model year, the reliability of this car is simply unacceptable. As a result, I cannot recommend this brand to others and will not be a Genesis owner again in the future.

We purchased this vehicle about 6 months ago and have noticed a few quirks that can be frustrating. For example, setting the profiles can be hit or miss - you save them, but when you recall them, things are never quite right. Additionally, on long road trips when we switch drivers, the destination is not shared, so we have to re-enter it. We were disappointed with the promised pickup and delivery for service, as it was nonexistent. We have two dealerships, and it took weeks to get the vehicle's initial service done, and neither offered to pick up our vehicle. Despite these issues, the vehicle looks great. However, Genesis needs to improve their game if they want to be taken seriously as a luxury brand.

Unfortunately, my brand new Genesis GV70 broke down and I have been without a car for 6 weeks. I have experienced some challenges with the service, including false promises and a lack of support. I have reached out to Ms. Marquez, COO of Genesis North America, and Mr. Barcelo, CEO of Hyundai North America, but have not yet received a response. I am hopeful that we can work together to find a solution to this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I purchased my GV70 in October 2021 and unfortunately experienced some issues with the transmission and transfer case, which required replacement. More recently, the radio/modem has also failed. Despite contacting Genesis Consumer Affairs and utilizing their Conceige/valet service, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. However, I am confident that Genesis will eventually resolve the issue and provide me with the necessary parts and service.

In February 2022, we purchased a 2022 GV70 Sport Prestige (fully loaded) with a MSRP of over $65k. Despite the price gouging due to shortages, we were excited to be in the front of the line with this 'SUV of the Year'. We have been loyal Lexus owners for over a decade, owning models such as the IS350, RX350, GS350, and ES350. Throughout our experience, we have always received the luxury customer care that you would expect from a Japanese Kaizen experience. The Genesis GV70 drives and feels great, with 375HP that rivals a Porsche Macan S (up until Porsche upped the Macan S this year). After test driving both the Macan and GV70, we truly feel that the GV70 offers more luxury, features, and performance than the Macan. Unfortunately, today, with just over 6,000 miles on the odometer, we experienced an issue. While driving in our town on a 30mph roadway, the check engine light started flashing, and then the engine shuttered and began misfiring. After pulling over, the check engine light stopped flashing and then stayed on solid. We know that O2 sensors are notorious for causing problems, but we hadn't filled up today, so we checked the gas cap, shut off the engine, and then restarted it. Sure enough, the light lit up again, and then my wife received a text from Genesis about the vehicle having an issue. We called the Hyundai Dealership that we purchased it from, and they were amazingly open on 4th of July Saturday. They said we needed to tow it in (at our expense), so we did so, over 40 miles away. Thankfully, we were provided a loaner Subaru Outback to drive, and we will learn what's wrong with it sometime next week. While we understand that machines can fail, we take great care of our vehicles, run premium fuel in them, and treat them with care. We hope that this is not a sign of the GV70's reliability, as we were excited to own it for a long time.
