2023 Genesis GV60 Common Problems by Component
58 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
27 complaintsSafety-relatedOwners report frequent issues with the 2023 Genesis GV60's electrical system, particularly with the ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) and instrument panel. Complaints often describe sudden loss of power and charging failures, even after recall-related software updates. The instrument cluster intermittently goes blank, especially in cold weather, leaving drivers without access to critical information like speed and warnings. These issues are noted at various mileages, with some reports indicating problems as early as 23,000 miles. One crash with an injury is linked to electrical system failure, highlighting potential safety risks. Buyers should be aware of these recurring electrical issues when considering this vehicle.
POWER TRAIN
13 complaintsOwners report frequent issues with the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) in the 2023 Genesis GV60, with multiple failures occurring even after recall repairs. Typical symptoms include a loud popping sound, loss of vehicle power, and critical dashboard warnings related to the electrical charging system. These issues often arise at low mileages, around 5,650 to 11,000 miles. Safety implications are significant, as some owners experience sudden power loss while driving, leading to situations where they must navigate heavy traffic or remote areas without vehicle power. Additionally, rear axle failures are reported, resulting in loud noises, smoke, and loss of power, often requiring towing and repairs. These patterns suggest potential reliability concerns for prospective buyers, particularly regarding the power train and ICCU.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
6 complaintsOwners report several issues with the 2023 Genesis GV60, particularly concerning the vehicle's air conditioning system and dashboard display. Multiple complaints describe the A/C compressor failing to activate, impacting both cabin cooling and battery thermal management, with attempts at repair proving ineffective. Additionally, some owners experience the instrument cluster screen failing to power on immediately upon startup, sometimes taking up to ten minutes to activate, which affects visibility of safety information and speedometer readings. There are also reports of over-the-air updates causing disruptions, including a corrupted update that necessitated head unit replacements. These issues often surface soon after purchase, with some owners noting them after software updates. Safety implications include potential overheating due to A/C failures and lack of critical driving information due to display issues.
SEAT BELTS (2 complaints)
SEAT BELTS
2 complaintsOwners of the 2023 Genesis GV60 frequently report issues with the seat belt pre-active system malfunctioning, specifically the pre-tensioner activating without cause and tightening unexpectedly while driving. This symptom has been documented across multiple service visits, with recurring diagnostic trouble code B1A4718 noted. Complaints typically occur around the 7,000-mile mark. The unexpected tightening of the seat belt poses a potential safety risk, as it can startle drivers and may lead to a loss of vehicle control. Additionally, another owner mentions that the seat belt does not lock properly, leading to disappointment in the safety feature's reliability. These issues are relevant to potential buyers considering the safety and reliability of the vehicle's seat belt system.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM (2 complaints)
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2 complaintsOwners of the 2023 Genesis GV60 report two primary issues related to the fuel/propulsion system. One complaint describes a rear axle fracture leading to a loss of propulsive power, accompanied by a loud noise, and subsequent damage to the rear motor, with no prior warning indicators. This incident occurred following previous axle replacements due to a recall. Another complaint highlights a charging issue where the Level 2 charging port overheats, causing the vehicle to stop charging and requiring operator intervention to restart. This charging problem is noted to potentially affect other vehicles on the same platform, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. No crashes or injuries are reported in these cases, but the issues could lead to vehicle immobilization or limited range.
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE (1 complaints)
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
1 complaintSafety-relatedThe Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on my Genesis GV60 called Highway Driving Assist (HDA) would randomly turn off without warning ever since I purchased the vehicle. I use it pretty much daily for my commute to work (but have to watch closely since it turns off often without warning) and the system would randomly turn off a least a few times a day so I would need to take over quickly. Yesterday when I was driving in the carpool HOV lane in the Los Angeles area where some sections of the freeway have lane markers that are very close to the center divider and the car decided to randomly turn off ADAS without warning which resulted in a car swipe against the center divider and damaged the front bumper as well as a broken side rearview mirror. I did a random search online and found lots of complaints from other Genesis/Hyundai/Kia owners who have similar issues am surprised why nothing has been done about it so I decided to report this. The repair would cost me almost 4 thousand dollars all because of the manufacturer defect that probably could be easily fixed with over the air update. Please investigate to prevent other drivers from getting into a crash for this defective. Thanks.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL (1 complaints)
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1 complaintMy Genesis EV has experienced multiple incidents where the vehicle suddenly decelerates while driving and limits its speed to approximately 20 mph, creating a significant safety hazard. The first incident occurred in September 2025, when the vehicle unexpectedly began to decelerate on its own and would not exceed ~20 mph. I brought it to the Genesis dealership, but they were unable to reproduce the issue. The second incident occurred in November 2025, with the same failure: sudden deceleration and a maximum speed of ~20 mph. I brought the vehicle back to the dealership. They have kept the car for diagnosis but again report they “cannot reproduce” the problem. The issue remains unresolved, and Genesis has denied my buyback request. This is an intermittent EV drivetrain or power-delivery failure that prevents the vehicle from accelerating normally. If this occurs in traffic, at intersections, or during merging, it could easily lead to a collision. The vehicle is currently still at the dealership because I do not feel safe driving it. Multiple attempts to have the problem repaired have not identified the cause. I am reporting this because sudden loss of acceleration and speed limitation is a major safety issue, and other drivers may experience the same failure.
STRUCTURE (1 complaints)
STRUCTURE
1 complaintThe chrome trim strip above the windshield flew off while driving. This poses a safety hazard for anyone driving behind a GV60 and unfortunately this issue seems to be very widespread (examples: [XXX] ). Genesis refused to fix the issue for me despite being under warranty, so I suspect they are doing the same for other owners despite the safety risk.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING (1 complaints)
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
1 complaintThe headlights have excessive moisture on the inside. Genesis replaced them once a year ago but now they have moisture on the inside lens so bad that you can't see the LED bulbs. This is a known issue with the GV60 and even though the car is under warranty Genesis will not cover this under warranty, they say it's normal! The moisture is changing the way the headlights light up the road and this moisture issue is a major safety concern. This needs to be fixed, no headlight beam should ever be obstructed by material inside the headlight assembly.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
1 complaintOn my way to work while sitting in stopped traffic on I-95 i heard a loud pop and saw that my rear windshield glass had shattered and was being held together by the tint. I was 1.5 miles from the car dealer and pulled into their service center. Upon review of the glass the service center techs and collision center techs could not locate a point of impact that would cause the glass to combust the way it did and continue to crack while at the dealer.

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.
