But it started by my car constantly burning all like a crazy amount and then I sort of having problems with like the air conditioner, not blowing cool because if I would circulate it in the car, it would not be cool and then I started having Coach go off code for my fuel sensor code for my CO2 sensor code for all different sensors every time I take it they would be trying to give me a change sensor and charging me $2000 to do this and charging me $1500 to do that and then then I find out that there is then someone finds a pipe with my turbo that is deteriorating and now they want to change that and it just keeps my motor keeps getting hot you getting excessively hot. I mean I’m going through two or 3 quarts of all a week and my car. I have four Genesis vehicles I have two G7 I have a G 80 and I have a GV 70 and this is the only one I’m having problems with and it is the and I’m very disappointed with the situation now because I feel like it’s just they just want me to keep putting money into this and I’m and now I’m gonna and my car is only four years old. It’s been paid off since I bought it and I’ve had no problems in all of a sudden. It’s like I’m gonna be out $6000 soon and it’s just I don’t understand why what’s going on and then I see that there’s a recall that I’m not part of with my VIN number, but yet every single one of the problems that I’m having is because of that and not to mention, they have me change all the sensors and stuff that I probably didn’t even need to change so I’m very outright right now because they’re trying to charge another $2000 to do this pipe when they done all these other things and they could’ve done the pipe first I feel like they’re just trying to get money out of me to mention now if I drive my car for more than 45 minutes, the engine light comes on and it goes into lag motor just started losing power and I have to pull over and Stop and they add oil and then I can drive again absolutely insane

I own a 2022 Genesis G70. The driver’s-side front headlamp assembly has developed significant and persistent moisture/condensation inside both sections of the lamp. The condensation does not clear during normal driving or after the lights have been operated for more than 30 minutes. The problem has now progressed from moisture inside the assembly to an electrical lighting failure. The driver’s-side front turn signal is no longer functioning, the vehicle displays a “Check turn signal” warning and master warning indicator, and the turn signal hyperflashes when activated.

2022 Genesis G70: Severe moisture inside of headlights causing DRL, blinkers, headlights, etc., to short out or completely stop working.

They gave me a quote of $6078.95 (labor not included)!! My vehicle has never been wrecked, and there is no front end damage whatsoever.

I am reporting a recurring drivetrain defect in my 2022 Genesis G70 3.3T Sport Prestige AWD (current mileage: 20,000 miles). The vehicle produces a prominent, loud mechanical whining and droning noise specifically when driving within the speed range of 55 mph to 65 mph. The issue is highly load-dependent: the noise significantly intensifies and gets louder when decelerating/coasting down through this speed window without the brakes applied and it is very prominent on smooth roads or highway. The sound distinctly originates from the front front-end/drivetrain area, heavily pointing to an issue with the front axle differential ring/pinion gear mesh or a failing pinion bearing. The manufacturer (Genesis Corporate) and authorized local dealership Genesis of [XXX] have acknowledged hearing the noise but are currently refusing to perform repairs or replace components under the factory powertrain warranty, claiming that because another vehicle of this specification make the same sound, it is a "normal operating characteristic". A severe, loud drivetrain whine that worsens on deceleration indicates mechanical play or improper factory tolerances. Left unaddressed, a failing differential or bearing can bind or fail catastrophically at highway speeds, posing a severe sudden locking hazard and safety risk. Genesis Corporate Case Number for this issue is: XXX INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Excessive condensation in the front headlight that constitutes a safety issue during night driving. Investigation into this needs conducted. I had the passenger side replaced under warranty but now I am outside warranty and the extended coverage excludes sealed headlight components. The dealership quoted $1600.00 to replace. Excessive for a safety item that should be recalled and manufacture should be forced to correct in a recall.

My vehicle is covered under Safety Recall 023G involving an ECU update, inspection for DTC P0088, and high-pressure fuel pump replacement if inspection criteria are met. The recall is listed as completed, however the high-pressure fuel pump was not replaced, and the dealer has refused replacement. Only an ECU update was performed. I continue to experience fuel pressure–related symptoms consistent with the recall condition. The dealer has declined further action and has not provided documentation showing inspection results or justification for non-replacement. I believe the recall was improperly completed, creating a safety risk due to potential loss of engine power or stalling. I am requesting NHTSA review.
