Owner report 11615026 · 2024-09-17 (September 17, 2024)
The display in front of the driver which includes speedometer and tachometer, and other info went completely black. A small air bag warning light was the only functioning part of the display, so I assume that the air bags were not operational. Most associated functions such as cruise control were lost. The center accessory display was okay: the radio and navigation seemed okay, for example. The dealer asked me to drive it in to the dealership, which I did with a certain amount of apprehension. He has provided me with a "loaner". He said that I …

I am writing to report a serious safety incident involving my 2025 Genesis GV70 and to formally demand a replacement with an identical new vehicle of the same make and model.

The vehicle has 1500 miles on it. I was driving around 40mph when the engine suddenly lost power and the immobilization light appeared. I was no longer able to accelerate. I coasted to a side street where the vehicle placed itself in Park. I restarted the vehicle and it worked. The next morning, the vehicle would not start and the immobilization light was present again. After checking the key fobs and battery, roadside assistance and I could not find the issue. Remote start from the app also did not work. It was towed to the dealer for assessme…

Owner report 11666244 · 2025-06-11 (June 11, 2025)
Airbags failed to deploy after pre-collision system did not activate nor did the emergency breaking activate. I struck a larger SUV while traveling ~35 mph broadside and there was no assistance from the vehicle safety features. It is unknown to me if any of the components have been adequately assessed since. I am concerned that the vehicle may be resold without proper inspection and has to potential to injure other parties in the future.

Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, I am submitting this complaint regarding a persistent and concerning issue with my brand-new 2025 Genesis GV70.

Owner report 11673886 · 2025-07-16 (July 16, 2025)
When I press the gas pedal halfway or 3/4 nothing happens - which is really bad in heavy traffic situations. On the highway, I floored it and the RPM was racing but it wouldn't shift up, so the engine was racing but there was no acceleration at all. I backed off and accelerated lightly, it would speed up. Scary. I have stomped on the accelerator it will rev to between 4 and 5 thousand rpms never up shifting or accelerating. Happens to frequently and I only have 11,000 miles on the vehicle. Genesis service can't locate the issue.
