2025 Genesis GV70 Reliability Report

This happened in an Enterprise rental car. Now I will be fighting against loss of rental and rental damages to car my insurance company provided because of a claim on my personal vehicle. I was driving northbound 270 merging onto westbound 64 in St. Louis, Mo, when the back windshield spontaneously exploded. I thought it was a gunshot, checked my body for damage; none found. Looked in my rear view mirror and saw the entire back windshield was completely cracked.

I was heading home early in the morning on 12/13/2025 to drop a few passengers on Springfield avenue heading east in Champaign IL (the Main Street) and the other vehicle came from 5th st heading north (5th street is a side street with a stop sign at that intersection). As I approached the intersection I saw the car come forward and then come to a complete stop before the intersection I assumed to look both ways. I was 10 feet away from the intersection when the car tried to speed across the intersection and I stomped on the brakes but it wasn’t enough to stop the collision from occurring while the FCA failed to kick in. The FCA frontal collision avoidance assist did not work when a car pulled out right in front of me. Since the car pulled out in front of me at the last second on a 25mph street my car collided into the reckless driver who had a stop sign and I had the right away. The car is currently in bad condition and the radiator got destroyed at the point of impact it’s currently at a collision repair center for inspection and repair. I gave a verbal explanation to the insurance company at this time there are photos to of the frontal area from the collision. There were no warnings that went off the night of the collision the FCA just failed to kick in resulting in an accident, when its primary job is stop a frontal collision it failed to do so.

The contact owns a 2025 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that the A/C system had become inoperable. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving 30-40 MPH, the defroster failed to engage as intended, causing the windows to become foggy. The contact pulled over to the side of the road to wipe the windows. The contact stated that the failure persisted while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the vehicle could not be serviced because there were 25 other vehicles of the same model year that were ahead of the vehicle for the same failure. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the repair was urgently needed because the contact resided in Southern Florida, where the weather was significantly humid, causing the windows to be foggy while driving. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that another dealer would be contacted for the repair; however, the contact had not received a call back from the manufacturer after several days. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

Newly purchased 10 months ago and both right and left headlight inner lenses are covered in condensation. Blurs the LED light illumination. Reduced night illumination for maximum distance of road hazards. Increased chance of premature bulb failure due to direct exposure of moisture/water vapors. Unreliability of critical lighting safety requirements.
