Deaths

A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

This is the year the complaint was filed, not the year the failure happened. The range runs from 2024 to 2026, the last of them a part year, which is why its column is drawn faint.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA crashes a car into a barrier and a pole and measures what happens to the dummies inside. This is what it awarded the 2024 Genesis GV70, and it is a separate question from what owners report going wrong later.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

POWER TRAIN
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

NHTSA complaint 11721502, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
