Owner report 11468811 · 2022-06-11 (June 11, 2022)
Popping and cracking sound since the 3rd day I owned the car- a new Genesis G70. It is now at the dealer for the 3rd time and they said the sunroof assembly may need to be replaced. I saw on a forum about Hyundais (Genesis is owned by the same) having issues with exploding sunroofs and the precursor was the sound I am experiencing. I am not alone as I saw on the Genesis forum MANY owners are having the same issue. In addition I am having a popping and cracking noise from the dash which is not being addressed and the car overall is shaky. T…

Owner report 11497802 · 2022-12-16 (December 16, 2022)
Upon pressing the gas pedal to start the car moving after a light turned green, vehicle shuddered, all dash lights came on and vehicle was unable to do anything but coast at a dangerously slow speed. Check engine light remained lit. I pulled over and turned off the engine and called the Genesis connected service with offered a repair slot. I waited awhile and restarted the car which turned on but remained in “limp mode” without significant gas boost and would not go over 40mph. I returned the car to the used car lot the following day. This c…

The contact owns a 2022 Genesis G70.

Owner report 11522950 · 2023-05-19 (May 19, 2023)
After a recent dealership visit for maintenance, the car began emitting a warning chime every 5 to 10 seconds and replace the tachometer display with "uneven road ahead" or "slippery road ahead". This takes place during the entire time the vehicle is on, at 5 to 10 second intervals. This renders the tachometer unusable. It dramatically decreases the usefulness of the warning chime for anything real since it is constantly going off. It is EXTREMELY distracting in city driving to have a warning alert constantly going off. Genesis is aware of th…

Owner report 11550497 · 2023-10-17 (October 17, 2023)
My vehicle is just over two years old and this has happened three times. Every light and warning message on the dash comes on all at once and the vehicle is put into limp mode. Going from 50 miles per hour to a little over 5 miles per hour in just a few seconds. Genesis also doesn't seem to think its an issue considering their dealers have had the car for two months and the only explanation I have been given is, "There is nothing wrong with your car" or "The car is driving great, you can pick it up." I have never felt scared to drive a car …

Owner report 11556839 · 2023-11-26 (November 26, 2023)
The headlight assembly is not sealed properly. I had to have the passenger side headlight assembly replaced due to condensation inside of the assembly which can lead to the headlight shorting out. This was replaced by Lee Hyundai in Fayetteville, NC under the warranty. The driver side headlight assembly is now experiencing the same issue and it is set to be replaced again under warranty by Lee Hyundai. After some research online, I have heard from a number of other people who own this same model and year who have replicated experiences with th…

Owner report 11572213 · 2024-02-15 (February 15, 2024)
Found condensation on both headlights. Took to dealer and they stated that it was caused by rock chips and Genesis will not cover the cost of repair. I talked to Genesis corporate office and they said condensation is normal and they will not repair it. I took my car to a body shop and they said the cracks are coming from where the screws attach to the headlights. All the cracks on the headlights are where the screws are. Now the daytime running lights and the turn signals are not working. This is a safety issue.
