Owner report 11660120 · 2025-05-10 (May 10, 2025)
The car randomly goes into LIMP mode when driving in every condition going at any speed, the car has a significant loss of power and needs to be restarted to gain power back. I have almost crashed because of this problem numerous times. Genesis dealership refuses to fix anything because the car doesn't bring back any error codes. This has happened to new and older G70s, there has also been numerous LEMON LAW buy packs under this exact LIMP mode issue being way more prevalent. I have gotten the supposed "fuel pump" recall which is what is direct…

Owner report 11716082 · 2026-02-06 (February 6, 2026)
The fuel delivery system, specifically the fuel pump and fuel rail pressure system, has malfunctioned and continues to trigger diagnostic trouble code P0191 (fuel rail pressure sensor range/performance), despite a prior recall-related software update performed by the dealer, and the vehicle and all affected components are available for inspection upon request. While driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly began stalling, hesitating, and hard jerking before losing power and entering limp mode, limiting speed to under 50 mph and forcing me t…

Owner report 11485200 · 2022-09-19 (September 19, 2022)
Unintentional acceleration - parked car crashed into garage wall, damaging front bumper and home structure. Have lost all faith in vehicle. Sensors and automatic brake failed. Car concerns have been reported and waiting 6-8 weeks for GMA to deem if it is eligible for an investigation. No loaner car offered despite being told NOT to drive the vehicle. No prior warnings. No one was home to drive the car. Very concerning.

Owner report 11713142 · 2026-01-24 (January 24, 2026)
I had heard a thumping noise in the front end when I would turn the vehicle. On the date of crash, there was a very loud pop noise, then loss of brakes and impact. Air bags deployed due to impact. Total loss.

Owner report 11672795 · 2025-07-11 (July 11, 2025)
There is a constant wheel bearing-type noise that is distractingly audible above ~40mph, and the whine is load and annoying at ~80mph, coming from the rear of the car. There is a constant droning and harmonic pulsating noise that cannot be attenuated with the car's active noise suppression technology, either. It is an otherwise wonderful car, but this whining is going to become more of an issue now that summer is here and the windows will be down. The pitch of the whine increases in frequency as the road speed increases, and right/left steer…

Owner report 11734626 · 2026-04-29 (April 29, 2026)
While driving my Genesis G70 on the highway in rainy conditions, the vehicle repeatedly loses traction and hydroplanes at normal highway speeds. The car begins sliding across lanes with very little control. During a prior incident, driver-assist features (lane keeping assist) were active. Rain appeared to interfere with the sensors, and the system malfunctioned by steering incorrectly. The steering wheel became difficult to control, and the vehicle attempted to steer into another lane while traction was already compromised. The vehicle hydropl…

Owner report 11699989 · 2025-11-17 (November 17, 2025)
HEADLIGHTS WITH LOTS OF CONDENSATION. APPARENTLY GENESIS HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT DURING THE DAY IS A MINOR CONCERN BUT CAUSING MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THE VEHICLE IS A MAJOR CONCERN, ALONG WITH HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT AT NIGHT. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR GENESIS HEADLIGHTS.
