2022 Genesis G80 Common Problems by Component
6 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
POWER TRAIN
2 complaintsOwners of the 2022 Genesis G80 report issues with the power train, specifically involving dashboard malfunctions and transmission behavior. One common problem includes the digital panel on the right side of the dashboard failing to display essential information such as rpm, gas, and speed, accompanied by the absence of the turn signal click noise. This issue occurs randomly, with the first instance reported at around 1,200 miles. Another issue involves the transmission, where owners describe the vehicle downshifting to third gear during acceleration attempts, failing to upshift, and resulting in a decrease in speed. This transmission behavior can lead to potentially hazardous situations by causing unexpected slowdowns in traffic. These complaints highlight concerns that prospective buyers should consider, especially regarding the vehicle's reliability in maintaining consistent performance.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2 complaintsOwners of the 2022 Genesis G80 frequently report issues with the electrical system, particularly involving the navigation and display functionalities. Common symptoms include the navigation screen freezing or going blank and the instrument display panel providing incorrect information, such as inaccurate speed limit readings. These issues can occur sporadically and have been noted even at low mileages, such as under 500 miles. Some owners express concerns about potential safety implications, including the risk of short-circuiting and fire, although no incidents of fires or crashes are reported. Buyers should be aware that multiple owners have experienced these electronic malfunctions, and some dealers have been unable to identify the cause or provide a solution.
FUEL SYSTEM
1 complaintThe contact owns a 2022 Genesis G80.

The vehicle was driven again to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer acknowledges the smell. The vehicle was repaired again and sealed with O-rings. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The failure mileage was approximately 10,636.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER (1 complaints)
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1 complaintI purchased my car in 1/2022. Starting 4/23/2022 through 10/27/2022 the CAR ALARM has activated itself approximately 100 times. Usually the key fob can stop the alarm, but several times the vehicle must be driven away or moved to stop the alarm sound. I took the car to the dealer on or about 4/12/2022 to search for the problem. After 1 week, the dealer advised it found no problem, but replaced a rear sensor and returned the car on 4/19. On 4/23/2022 the alarm problem began again. After my local Irvine, CA dealer refused to take the car back for repairs, on 5/16 I made a written complaint to Hyundai Claims. Since then, the alarm has activated without cause repeatedly. On 9/2/2022 with Claims approval, I left my car with Cerritos Genesis. On 9/15/2022, my LOANER G80 alarm activated itself without cause. On 9/23/2022 I picked up my car, after the dealer reported it found no problem. On 10/27/2022 the alarm reactivated itself twice, before I moved the car out of my hearing.

How We Calculate Reliability Scores
Auto Reliability Index scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale using a weighted formula that combines multiple public data sources. Each factor is weighted based on its predictive value for real-world ownership experience.
Key Ranking Factors
Complaint Severity
NHTSA owner complaints weighted by component category (e.g., powertrain, safety systems, electronics, cosmetic) — safety-critical issues carry more weight than cosmetic ones. Adjusted for sales volume so high-volume models aren't unfairly penalized.
Repair Costs
Independent reliability ratings based on repair frequency, average repair costs, and severity of typical repairs for each model.
Recall Impact
Number of NHTSA recalls weighted by severity. “Stop driving” and fire-risk recalls are penalized more heavily than minor software or labeling recalls.
Issue Diversity
Measures how many major vehicle systems (engine, transmission, electrical, braking, etc.) have recorded complaints. A vehicle with issues spread across many systems may indicate systemic quality issues.
Scores are grouped into four tiers:
- 80–100: Excellent— Top-tier reliability, minimal issues
- 60–79: Good— Reliable with some minor concerns
- 40–59: Mixed— Notable issues, research before buying
- 0–39: Risky— Significant problems, proceed with caution
Data is sourced from NHTSA recall records, owner complaint filings, and independent repair databases. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available. While the weighting model is proprietary, all underlying data sources are public and traceable.
