My front windshield has developed inside cracks in the same exact place, within the past two years. Cracks on on the inside directly infront of the drives side and about 6 inches up from the bottom of the window. The cracks are about 1 inch in length and parallel to the bottom of the windshield. There us another perpendicular to the bottom windshield and about 1/2 inch long (it is about an inch from the parallel crack). Dealer replaced the wind shield the first time. Dealer did not replace the windshieldd the 2nd time. They claimed the wiper caused the crack, but the crack is not on the outside.

On October 19, 2026 at approximately 8:40 AM, I was behind a Lexus SUV at a stop sign and I went to put on my eyeglasses. When I released the brake to accelerate forward the car stopped and put on the emergency brakes twice before I could finally accelerate. The car released an alarming alert on the dashboard saying “emergency braking.” This was dangerous considering there was a car directly behind me and I had my 20 month old in a car seat on the back seat.

I do not know exactly what component failed. All I know is that the vehicle lost power while my wife was driving our children to school at around 8:15 A.M. on February 24, 2026. The vehicle slowed down on its own and could not accelerate when my wife pushed on the gas pedal. There were no warning or check engine lights on the dashboard. Luckily, this happened in a residential neighborhood where traffic is low. This could have caused an accident and/or fatalities if she was driving on busy street or a highway at the time. I contacted Genesis Customer Care. They scheduled me for a service appointment to get the vehicle checked. The vehicle was checked for codes, but nothing came up. They checked the vehicle log but did not find any clues. They told me that everything was normal and they assumed that it was most likely due to an over-the-air update that caused a system reboot. I believe the problem still exists and that it is a matter of time before it happens again.

While driving an audible pop from the rear of the vehicle was heard. Upon hearing the pop the vehicle warning lights came on and a sudden loss of power reducing my maximum speed to 20 mile per hour. The electrical system failure warning came up on the screen and the car would not accelerate to over 20 miles per hour. The dealer stated it was a failed ICCU and fuse. This has been at the dealer for over 10 days without a return window provided. The car has 15,802 miles on it.

The car has been shaking between 65-75mph and sometimes around 40-50mph since 9/7/2024. Car has been at the dealer service center 7 times, more then 30 days to attempt to resolve the issue, but nothing has worked. The last service visit they replaced the front axle. the car still shakes. I'm nervous something is going to fly off or a bolt is going to come loose from the shaking. I don't feel safe driving the car, but i don't have money to purchase another car. Genesis is aware of this safety issue and refuses to take action. I have a letter stating they were going to buy the car back by 12/15/2025, but they changed there mind. I guess they want people to drive unsafe cars. Don't buy a Genesis, Hyundai, or Kia. They don't stand by there word or seem to care if it affects there bank account.

I 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).

I was entering a highway when my vehicle lost the ability to accelerate. Complete loss of acceleration, audible and visual notifications on my dashboard that were difficult to read as I was dealing with a dangerous situation. I was fortunate that there was a pull out immediately ahead and no traffic that allowed me to quickly get to safety. Had I been further up the highway or on a freeway, my life and that of drivers around me would have been in imminent danger as this was sudden and unexpected. After I pulled out, my vehicle dashboard contained a message that read: Stop vehicle and check power supply. My vehicle's app presents two "Attention Needed" notifications: 1) CHASSIS DTC C160C87 and 2) CHASSIS DTC P1A9096. My vehicle is only 2 years old and had all recommended recalls and maintenance checked prior to this event.

I moved to Reno, NV where I need to merge onto route 80 everyday. During several attempts to merge onto 80, my Genesis GV70 stopped accelerating at 42 MPH, roughly 5000 RPMs and I was almost rear ended on two occasions because of the 'stalling' of the vehicle. An 18 wheel truck almost hit me because I couldn't accelerate past 42 MPH. Luckily, I was able to pull off the road. There was no warning light or check engine light on the dashboard. This was not a one time issue. Everytime I tried to merge at high speeds the car would not respond. I've attached a video that shows the issue. Genesis towed my car to a dealer in Mountain View CA. I did notice that I was leaking radiator fluid in the days prior to my incidents but when I checked the overflow tank, it was full. Again, there were no check engine lights on the dash. The Mountain View Genesis service manager replicated the issue and discovered that a small rock had come through the bottom grill and damaged the intercooler radiator. He unequivocally stated that "it's a design flaw in the lower grill. The grill has such a wide opening that foreign objects can enter through the lower grill." He went on to say that the intercooler radiator sits below the regular radiator and is made of a softer metal than the regular radiator which makes is more susceptible to damage. He also said that another Genesis GV70 came into his shop the same day with the exact same issue. The cost of the repair was $2,200 dollars to replace the intercooler radiator. (the intercooler was on backorder which may be demand) I opened a case with Genesis and they say that the repair is not covered under a warranty. The Genesis owners forum has numerous complaints of 'lack of acceleration' issues. Someone polled owners and 28 people responded that they experienced a similar lack of acceleration dangerous situation.

Incident: February 8, 2026 · Filed: February 11, 2026

The 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.
