Should You Buy the 2024 Genesis GV70?
Good reliability makes this one of the stronger GV70 years, though it lands below average among 2024 SUVs. Owners filed 17 complaints, well under the 56 for the 2023, which rates worse. The 2025 rates about the same. Federal crash testing gave it 5 of 5 stars.
The trouble centers on the power train. Acceleration can cut out without warning, often while merging onto a highway. Some cars stop pulling near 40 mph with the engine revving near 5,000 RPM and no warning light. Others show a power-supply warning and drop into a mode capped at 20 mph. One dealer found a failed ICCU and fuse. Owners describe near rear-end collisions with trucks. Shaking at highway speed and a shifter slipping into neutral also appear. Repairs often mean long dealer stays.
All four recalls are in the electrical system. Ask for proof they were completed, plus dealer records for any power loss or shaking repairs. Compare against a 2025 before deciding.
Compared to the 2025 Genesis GV70, which scored 2 points higher. See also the 2023 Genesis GV70 for an earlier comparison.

Used Buying Checklist
Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2024 Genesis GV70.
Ask for service records mentioning ICCU or fuse replacement, power-supply warnings, or loss-of-power visits.
Merge onto a highway at full throttle and confirm the car keeps accelerating past 40 mph without the revs stalling.
Drive at 65 to 75 mph and feel for shaking through the steering wheel or seats.
Back into an open parking space several times and watch for false automatic emergency braking.
Listen at 65 to 70 mph for a whooshing or droning noise near the sunroof.
Drive at low speed and confirm the shifter stays in drive and never slips into neutral.
Have a shop scan for stored trouble codes, including chassis codes such as C160C87.
2024 Genesis GV70 Common Problems by Component
17 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
POWER TRAIN
6 complaintsAcceleration cuts out without warning, often while merging onto a highway. Some cars stop pulling around 40 mph while the engine revs near 5,000 RPM, with no warning light. Others show a power-supply warning and drop into a mode capped at 20 mph. In one of those cars the dealer found a failed ICCU and fuse. Drivers describe near rear-end collisions with trucks. Other reports describe shaking at highway speed that repeated dealer visits did not fix, and a shifter that slipped from drive to neutral while moving. Repairs often keep cars at the dealer for long stretches.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
5 complaintsPower drops suddenly and the car will not respond to the gas pedal, sometimes in heavy, fast traffic. Several reports say no warning lights came on, and dealers could not find codes or recreate the problem. Other complaints describe automatic emergency braking that triggers while reversing into a clear parking space. Some owners also report a loud whooshing or droning noise at highway speeds, traced to the sunroof area in one case, that drowns out surrounding traffic. Dealers have not resolved the noise after repeated inspections.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1 complaintI am filing this formal complaint against Genesis Motor America (a division of Hyundai Motor America) for the repeated failure to repair my defective 2024 Genesis GV70. The vehicle has been a nightmare of safety hazards, financial ruin, and life degradation, with over 240 days out of service in 8 months. This saga began as a dream purchase, but quickly turned into a relentless horror story of mechanical and ADAS failures, dealer incompetence, and manufacturer indifference. The vehicle has been in the shop on six separate occasions under three (3) different dealers, with collective downtime exceeding 240 days, far surpassing Florida's Lemon Law thresholds (3+ repair attempts for the same defect or 15+ days out of service).
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL (1 complaints)
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1 complaintThe digital instrument cluster in my 2024 Genesis GV70 has failed multiple times while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealership on December 20, 2025 for instrument cluster malfunction. The vehicle remained in the shop for approximately four weeks, and the instrument cluster module was replaced. The vehicle was returned to me on January 19, 2026 with representation that the issue had been corrected. On February 8, 2026, only 20 days after the repair, the instrument cluster failed again while the vehicle was in operation. The panel was completely inoperative for approximately two hours. During the failure: Speedometer was not visible, Warning lights were not visible, Fuel gauge was not visible, Safety indicators were not visible, signal lights not working, Automatic Engine Start/Stop system control not working. Entire console goes out. Operating a vehicle without access to critical driving information presents a safety hazard.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING (1 complaints)
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
1 complaintBoth of my front headlights get condensation to the point of droplets every time it rains, or I go through the car wash. My car is a 2024. Genesis has implied that it is "normal" after I contacted my dealer in Richmond, Virginia. I am retired, so I don't usually drive a night. Would having fogged out lens degrade the performance of my headlights? I'm [XXX] and owned many cars. This is the first brand new car that has had this issue. It should be noted that the lens do clear up after the sun hits them for a few days. My car is not garaged so it is exposed to the rain. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM (1 complaints)
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
1 complaintPulling out of parking lot onto street and car would not accelerate beyond 10 miles a hr Pedal was to the floor and didn't change speed. Read on forum this is a known issue. Possibly fuel issue. No DTC code is issued. Dealer could not replicate, which I read on forum was known. Worried about this happening again or on highway.
STEERING (1 complaints)
STEERING
1 complaint•Malfunctions: •Brakes: Failed multiple times, including during a critical incident on 11/9/2024, where I couldn’t stop the car, risking a severe collision. •Steering: The steering system failed during the same event, making the car uncontrollable. •Acceleration: The vehicle unexpectedly accelerated on multiple occasions, including on 4/16/2024, creating dangerous driving conditions. •These components are available for inspection. •Safety Risks: •My safety was at extreme risk when the car unexpectedly accelerated, and I couldn’t stop it, narrowly avoiding a collision with gas tanks, which could have been catastrophic. •Inspection and Diagnosis: •The dealership inspected the car on 4/16/2024 and 10/11/2024, but no faults were found, despite my concerns. They only drove the car briefly and did not adequately investigate the braking or steering issues. •No diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) were found, contradicting the malfunctions I experienced. •Inspection by Others: •The car was assessed by my insurance company, who initially missed wheel damages, later correcting the report after I pointed it out. •I also reached out to Genesis customer care but received no comprehensive response regarding the ongoing safety issues. •Symptoms Prior to Failure: •On 11/9/2024, the check engine light illuminated, but by the time I could schedule an appointment, it disappeared. Previous brake and steering issues were noted but not adequately investigated.
STRUCTURE (1 complaints)
STRUCTURE
1 complaintThe passenger side sideview mirror of my vehicle folds to a closing position while the vehicle is in motion. This has occurred a few times today creating a safety hazard for the occupants of my vehicle and other drivers as I have lost visibility on that side of the vehicle while on the road. I have re-opened the mirror and after a few mins it closes up on its own again. Upon contacting the dealer, they informed me that they don't have any available appointments until 11/15. I reached out to Genesis Corporate and they changed my service dealership. I also informed them of what occurred. I have contacted 2 other dealership to obtain a quick appointment and there is no appointments available.
