Owner report 11618004 · 2024-10-04 (October 4, 2024)
After speaking to the Genesis dealerships closest to my residence, it was made aware to me that the recall part in question, the High-Pressure Fuel Pump, will not be able to be repaired in a timely manner due to the parts not being in stock and that the dealerships I contacted would not be able to provide service for these repairs until November 2024 (If the part is in stock at the time). The dealerships were not able to confirm when the parts would be back in stock but, regardless, they would not be able to perform services for this recall unt…

Owner report 11688326 · 2025-09-19 (September 19, 2025)
Vehicle: 2022 Genesis G70 Mileage at failure: ~46,000 miles Description of problem: While driving, my vehicle suddenly lost power and became unable to accelerate properly. I was nearly struck by a truck because the car lost all motive power in traffic without warning. This is extremely dangerous and could have caused a serious accident. The vehicle had already received the fuel pump recall repair in December 2024 Despite this, in September 2025 the vehicle required replacement of the fuel injectors under warranty due to failure. Safety conc…

Owner report 11704985 · 2025-12-14 (December 14, 2025)
I experience a lack of power issue when driving the vehicle and attempting to accelerate past 40-60 mph. I will floor the accelerator and the car still stalls and will not accelerate. This has been terrifying when merging onto the highway and realizing this issue is occurring, as it is sporadic and not noticeable on residential/low speed drives. In the videos I've taken, you can see the engine RPM increase to approximately 4k RPM; the gear indicator continues to show "D," indicating the RPM increase was due to a throttle-induced downshift as op…

Owner report 11743027 · 2026-06-09 (June 9, 2026)
I am reporting a recurring drivetrain defect in my 2022 Genesis G70 3.3T Sport Prestige AWD (current mileage: 20,000 miles). The vehicle produces a prominent, loud mechanical whining and droning noise specifically when driving within the speed range of 55 mph to 65 mph. The issue is highly load-dependent: the noise significantly intensifies and gets louder when decelerating/coasting down through this speed window without the brakes applied and it is very prominent on smooth roads or highway. The sound distinctly originates from the front front-…

Owner report 11760547 · 2026-08-29 (August 29, 2026)
I own a 2022 Genesis G70. The driver’s-side front headlamp assembly has developed significant and persistent moisture/condensation inside both sections of the lamp. The condensation does not clear during normal driving or after the lights have been operated for more than 30 minutes. The problem has now progressed from moisture inside the assembly to an electrical lighting failure. The driver’s-side front turn signal is no longer functioning, the vehicle displays a “Check turn signal” warning and master warning indicator, and the turn signal hyp…
