Owner report 11492075 · 2022-11-03 (November 3, 2022)
On 3 occasions while driving under 30 mph with no proximate vehicles my car suddenly began to intermittently brake and the dash flashed "collision warning". In two of them, I was able to pull over and turn off the car and restart--the problem did not repeat. In the third instance I kept driving (bucking along at 10 mph) and after about 50 yards the warning went away. The dealer ran a scan and cannot find an issue. They tell me they have to see it while it happens. The car may be at the dealer for months as they will be driving it to see if…

Owner report 11543224 · 2023-09-07 (September 7, 2023)
I purchased the vehicle on March 30, 2023, & my Check engine light has been on eleven times since June 2023. I was involved in a car accident on August 25, 2023, where the car appeared to have no gas. However, gas was in the vehicle, and the brakes were not operating correctly as I had to continue pumping the brakes to stop the vehicle. Furthermore, there is over $15k in damages and counting. I have been placed off work due to the injuries sustained in the vehicle accident due to the negligence of the manufacturer & dealer. I have left several …

Owner report 11507911 · 2023-02-17 (February 17, 2023)
Purchased the car 1/28/2023 and drove it off the lot with 20 miles on the odometer. Within the first 15 miles and merging onto a freeway, the motor cut out and we were almost rear ended. The sudden loss of power nearly caused a significant accident. We replicated the issue several times. We took the car to the dealership in our home state. We were told it was a fuel pump and water pump issue and they were seeing it in about 20% of the new cars. As of 2/17/23 we are still without our new car as it has been at the dealership since waiting fo…

Owner report 11534729 · 2023-07-27 (July 27, 2023)
No warning and no engine light when gas pedal is pressed down there is little to no acceleration. I was pulling out in the middle of traffic when this malfunction occurred. I could have been T-boned by oncoming vehicles and killed. It was not until I drove the vehicle a little longer that the engine light came on. The vehicles notification center showed a malfunction of the transmission. A diagnostic scan showed trouble codes P0763-Shift Solenoid C-Electrical and P0880-TCM Power Input Signal-Malfunction.

Owner report 11565974 · 2024-01-17 (January 17, 2024)
While crossing through an intersection, the vehicle began to shutter and would not accelerate. I had just enough power to turn into a store parking lot where the vehicle lost all power, illuminated the battery warning light, and would not restart. After 30-45 minutes, the vehicle was able to start again using a jump box. I began a test drive around the parking lot and the vehicle shuttered again and lost all power while in the middle of the parking lot. At no point were we able to start the vehicle again however the battery continued to power t…

Catastrophic failure of a brand new 2023 Genesis GV 70 on 6/6/23. The GV70 was purchased on 4/29/23 with 22 miles. It was not driven between 5/12/23 and 5/26/23 while I was out of the country. On the evening on 6/6/23 as I was merging onto the northbound lanes of the Baltimore Washington Parkway from I-295 DC, the vehicle violently shook, burning smell, and then shut off completely, including the steering column. I was able to partially drift to a right shoulder with the driver side of the vehicle still in a lane of traffic. I called the U…
