Common Genesis Gv80 problems

The Genesis GV80 is a luxury SUV that has been praised for its luxurious features and competitive pricing compared to other luxury brands. However, there have been several common problems reported by owners of the GV80.

One common issue reported by owners is the infotainment system crashing and restarting at random. This can be frustrating for drivers, especially if they are relying on the system for navigation or audio entertainment.

Another issue reported by owners is problems with the powertrain, specifically with the transfer case

The 2021 Genesis GV80 SUV has also received complaints for the forward collision warning system. Owners have reported that their vehicle would shut on and off while driving, and one noted there was instability when the vehicle hit imperfections in the roadway.

The 2024 GV80 is expected to be less reliable than the average new car, based on data from 2021, 2022, and 2023 models, plus the Genesis brand's overall reliability history.

In addition to these issues, there have been several recalls for the GV80. In May 2021, there was a recall for certain 2021 Genesis G80 and GV80 vehicles equipped with 2.5-litre turbo engines due to a potential fuel leak. The dealership will replace the high pressure fuel tube at no cost.

Overall, while the Genesis GV80 offers luxurious features and competitive pricing, there have been several reported issues with the vehicle's infotainment system, powertrain, and forward collision warning system. It is important for potential buyers to be aware of these issues and consider them when making their purchasing decision.

Latest 25 complaints

Genesis Gv80 2024
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-09-24
  • Date Complaint: 2024-09-24
  • VIN: KMUHCESC8RU
  • Components: ENGINE
  • Summary: Purchased my 2024 GV80 3.5t in June of 2024 and have been experiencing intermittent issues with the acceleration. Car hesitates when accelerating and can causing accidents while at an intersection making a turn. I have bought the car into the dealership three times, and they are unable to reproduce. Unfortunately, after reading the complaints and symptoms of the fuel pump recall for the 2021-2023 this issue seems identical. I have reach out to Genesis Corporate and they are no help and don't return calls or emails for days.
Genesis Gv80 2021
  • Date Of Incident: 2021-03-04
  • Date Complaint: 2024-09-11
  • VIN: KMUHCESC0MU
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
  • Summary: Battery begins discharge without warning while driving the vehicle. System begins complete shutdown without warning. Experiencing clunking and or jerking while driving no matter if speed acceleration/deceleration. Infotainment system goes out of function without notice - radio, sound, navigation, and safety cameras included. I feel unsafe during driving this vehicle as it does not give any warning when these issues occur. Once in traffic I had to slam on breaks after the truck just shot off after lightly pressing the gas to move forward. Whenever the vehicle is taken in for inspection, no issues are found. I reported the clunking before, the dealer claimed it was a faulty fuel pump. This is a brand-new vehicle and none of these issues should be happening.
Genesis Gv80 2024
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-24
  • Date Complaint: 2024-09-05
  • VIN: KMUHCESC3RU
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
  • Summary: Total battery system failure to where vehicle would not start/restart, or if started via jumping, would stall out shortly thereafter. Battery problem to point to where jump starting is difficult due to shorted battery lowering availalble power to start/restart engine. This could have caused unexpected removal of power from the vehcile during traveling or in unsafe areas. This appears to be a very common problem with this vehicle as seen on various online forums and lack of part (battery) availability.
Genesis Gv80 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-06-28
  • Date Complaint: 2024-08-27
  • VIN: KMUHCESC2NU
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: The electrical wiring harnesses affecting numerous safety systems (forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning) have been chewed through by rodents. Upon further research it was determined that starting in 2016 Asian automotive manufacturers (Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai) began using soy-based insulation in their wiring harnesses as alternatives to petroleum-based insulation. Rodents (mice, squirrels, etc.) are attracted to the wiring harnesses. The resultant damage and safety concerns led customers to file several lawsuits against the manufacturers. It is not clear whether Hyundai stopped the use of these soy-based wiring harnesses after 2021. Genesis is a spin-off of Hyundai, leveraging common parts. It appears that these soy-based wiring harnesses are being used in some of the 2022 GV80 models. Genesis currently burdens its customers with the cost to troubleshoot and replace these harnesses. Given the previous lawsuits and the continue risks of using these wiring harnesses in key safety systems, it is recommended that Hyundai and Genesis issue manufacturer recalls to ensure these harnesses are replaced with materials that do not attract rodents. We first started experiencing intermittent failures in in the highway driving assist system. Then, forward collision warning and lane departure warning systems. These became more pronounced until we brought the vehicle into Pearson Genesis of Richmond on 06/28/2024. After troubleshooting and inspecting the automobile, the technician showed us pictures of where rodents had eaten through wiring harnesses (attached). The cost to repair this over two visits totaled $957.42. I contacted Genesis headquarters suggesting they investigate this further, given the lawsuits. They agreed to offset my cost by $672, but did not agree to address the underlying problem.

Genesis Gv80 2021
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-02-27
  • Date Complaint: 2024-03-13
  • VIN: KMUHCESC6MU
  • Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: On two occasions in the last month the car has suffered a loss of power with the accelerator unresponsive to input. After 5-10 seconds of this still actively occurring the car began to shake violently while I was trying to find a safe place to stop the car out of the traffic lanes. Within a minute or so things would go back to normal. The first time I was in a 35mph zone so the car was relatively controllable but unable to keep at speed. The second time was on the interstate at 70mph in heavy traffic. The car reacted much more dangerously at this speed. The loss of power was more severe and the violent bucking and shaking of the car was very severe. I thought parts would start falling off the car at any moment, it was that violent. With my emergency flashers on I was able to exit the interstate without accident or injury but there was a bit of luck involved. It could have just as easily gone very badly in the heavy traffic. There is an open recall on the Genesis GV80 for the fuel pump needing replaced for this exact type of occurrence. [XXX] ). While my VIN is not part of the formal recall I feel 100% certain that this is the same exact issue. Numerous others with GV80's have had and are still having the exact issue. The car was dropped at the dealer (Genesis Bedford OH) last week. They kept the car for a week but were unable to duplicate due to the randomness of the issue. They returned the car without fixing the issue. They never mentioned anything about the GV80 fuel pump issue. I have an open case ([XXX]) with Genesis but they are refusing to replace the fuel pump or rectify the issue in any way. As is noted in the recall of the fuel pump this issue does not cause any check engine lights to activate nor is Genesis storing any type of code from the issue. The recall clearly states that a car with this fuel pump issue should not be driven. Genesis is currently refusing to assist me in getting the car fixed.

Latest negative Genesis Gv80 car reviews

  1. Dallin Schmitt 2024-11-27

    Vehicle year: 2022

    The software issues with navigation, Apple CarPlay, lane change assist, and cameras for collision avoidance system with only 6000 miles are concerning. It is disappointing to hear that the Genesis luxury service is substandard compared to other luxury brands. Genesis must step up and improve their image to convince car buyers with their retail and service repair. As a repeat Genesis customer, I expect more from the new GV80 with advance/prestige package.

  2. Gus Stoltenberg 2024-11-25

    Vehicle year: 2024

    The navigation system requires attention as it is currently not functioning. Additionally, the outside mirrors intermittently require manual extension. Despite these issues, I am confident in the quality of the vehicle and its capabilities. I purchased it from Tuttle Click Hyundai in Irvine, Ca.

  3. Issac Hackett 2024-11-10

    Vehicle year: 2022

    It looks cool...like a tall glass of iced tea on a hot summer day. Unfortunately, my experience with the Genesis GV80 has been less than ideal. While the vehicle is undeniably hot and stylish, it has unfortunately been plagued with mechanical, electrical, and computer-based issues. Despite numerous trips to the shop, the issues persist and I find myself unable to fully enjoy the vehicle. While I still appreciate its good looks, I am hesitant to take it out for fear of another breakdown. It's a shame that such a beautiful car has been marred by these issues.

    I purchased a 2022 Genesis GV80 Prestige for $69K and initially had a great experience driving it for the first 22K miles. However, I encountered some issues with stalling and discovered that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. I also learned that there was a recall on the fuel pump. Unfortunately, at 29K miles, the head gasket blew and the car had to be taken to the dealership for 5 weeks. Despite these setbacks, Genesis decided that a new engine was necessary. While I have concerns about potential future issues, I am confident that the dealership and Genesis will continue to provide excellent service and support.

    The 2021 GV80 has a high pressure fuel line issue that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, the replacement part is currently on back order with no estimated time of arrival. It is recommended to wait until the issue is resolved before purchasing this SUV.

    This is a great truck with unlimited features. I have never bought a truck that has everything in it like this one does. If you want a truck that stands out from the rest, this is the one for you.

    Leased new GV80 2.5L Turbo and after 1k miles, I'm really enjoying how smooth and easy it is to drive. Although I've read about some concerning issues other owners have experienced, I'm happy to report that I haven't had any issues so far. I suspect Genesis is doing a great job of resolving these issues. The GV80 is superbly built and every surface area and control is top notch. Despite its size, it handles like a smaller vehicle. I'm getting great mileage too, with 28 on the highway and 23 in the city.

    Great ride! I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying the classy interior and excellent exterior look. It's no surprise that you get a lot of comments about how sharp the car looks. Plus, the good warranty is definitely a bonus!

    Looks gorgeous! It's definitely one of the best-looking SUVs out there. It has enough power and drives beautifully - with a great power punch, smoothness, quietness, and comfort. The interior is luxurious, quiet, and tech-enabled.
