2023 Genesis GV70 Reliability Report

Acceleration gives out, often soon after setting off, and the car won't go over 20 mph even with the pedal pressed. Restarting the car often clears it for a while. Other reports describe adaptive cruise tracking cars in the right lane, the emergency brake panic-stopping with nothing ahead, sudden acceleration while parking, and Lane Keep Assist turning itself back on. One car went into limp mode with no warning light after a cracked lower radiator lost all its coolant, nearly causing a rear-end collision.

The car stops responding to the gas pedal or shuts off while driving, sometimes in the middle of a highway. Reports describe the car only inching forward from a stop, refusing to go above about 10 mph, slipping into neutral and lurching, and shutting off repeatedly while the owner waited for help. One car lost power and shut off at 70 mph after the oil light came on, leaving a large puddle of oil and fluid. Problems start early, including at 1,540 miles and within the first month of ownership.

The windshield cracks with a loud pop while driving, with no chip, no impact point, and no traffic nearby. The cracks spread fast, in one case past 12 inches during a single trip. Other reports describe long cracks growing from a small rock chip, a side window cracking along with the windshield, and one owner replacing the windshield three times in a year. Several owners believe the glass is too thin and mention finding similar reports from other owners of this model.

Body and underbody parts come loose or wear out early. The interior panels on the front doors peel and leave sharp edges, which one dealer documented but declined to repair. On a certified pre-owned car, the front engine undercover tore loose on the first highway drive and flapped violently, and the car could not be driven. Another owner was told a rock got through the large grille openings and punctured the turbo cooler, causing a leak at about 14,500 miles.

Most of these reports are about a parts shortage, not a belt failure. Two owners say they got a seat belt recall notice, but neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had parts to do the repair. Neither owner had a failure. The remaining report, which lists one injury, describes a foul smell of fumes, burning, and stale water within the first 200 miles. That owner says the dealer would not help.

The engine cuts out or stalls at cruising speed, at red lights, and while merging. One failure came within the first 15 miles of ownership. In several cases dealers point to the fuel pump. In one, the dealer also blamed the water pump, and the car sat at the dealer for weeks waiting on parts. Other reports describe shuddering, total power loss with a battery warning light, and the car not starting without a jump. Owners describe near rear-end collisions.

The accelerator stops responding at low speed, and the car can stop abruptly in the road and need a restart. In one report the problem came back two days after the dealer replaced the water pump and a sensor. Another report describes a strange sound at startup, an auto stop light that won't turn off, and no power to accelerate until the car is turned off and back on.
