Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11754243

While exiting a highway at normal speed and with no impact, collision, or obstacle of any kind, the airbags in this 2023 Genesis GV70 deployed spontaneously. The unexpected deployment caused me to lose control of the vehicle, and a three-car collision followed. I sustained a head injury and aggravation of a pre-existing traumatic brain injury; I remain under medical care. There was no crash before the deployment - the deployment caused the crash. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appeared before the failure. The vehicle was reported to the manufacturer, which opened a claim and later closed it without repair or explanation; a second manufacturer case review is open. I have demanded preservation of all vehicle data, including event data recorder and telematics records, and independent inspection was arranged. The vehicle and the airbag control unit remain available for inspection on request. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer, and to my knowledge no dealer diagnostic has been performed on the airbag control module.

All wheel drive(AWD) warning light illuminates. 9482 miles have been driven on the vehicle. This has happened 5 times in the last week, April 25th- May 1st 2023. The vehicle was taken to the Genesis dealer on the 1st of May 2023. I was informed by the service department that several components related to the differential system and parts were ordered. Relief valve, actuator assembly, pressure sensor. I was informed that this may or may not fix the issue. Additional parts will have to be replaced. If that doesn't fix the issue the entire unit will have to be replaced. I asked if this was a safety problem and is it safe to continue driving my vehicle. The answer I received was they didn't know. There were no other signs or symptoms prior to this. As far I can tell the vehicle runs ok. I also don't know if the traction control system will malfunction while I am driving. I picked it up and drove it home and I haven't driven since. I called the Genesis hot line on May 1st 2023 and asked was if it is safe to drive the vehicle. As of May 2nd I haven't heard back from them.

Dear NHTSA Safety Team, I am writing to report a potential safety-related defect involving my vehicle and to request confirmation that this concern is properly documented. I own a 2023 Genesis GV70. The interior door panel material on both front doors is peeling and delaminating under normal use. The material separation exposes loose and sharp edges on the door panels, creating a potential risk of cuts or injury to vehicle occupants and interfering with normal use of the door area. The condition appeared prematurely and has worsened over time. The dealership inspected and documented the issue but declined repair. No crash or injury has occurred, but I am concerned about the ongoing safety risk. Please advise if any additional information or documentation is needed. I have photographs available upon request. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] City/State: Chicago, IL 60619 Vehicle: 2023 Genesis GV70 Mileage: 47532 VIN: [XXX] Phone: [XXX] Email: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While crossing through an intersection, the vehicle began to shutter and would not accelerate. I had just enough power to turn into a store parking lot where the vehicle lost all power, illuminated the battery warning light, and would not restart. After 30-45 minutes, the vehicle was able to start again using a jump box. I began a test drive around the parking lot and the vehicle shuttered again and lost all power while in the middle of the parking lot. At no point were we able to start the vehicle again however the battery continued to power the lights. Vehicle was towed to a nearby dealer. Prior to this there were a few instances where the vehicle either failed to start or failed to turn off after first pressing the Start/Stop button but I dismissed those as outliers since it would start up at the next activation. My vehicle lost power in the middle of a non-busy intersection and a quiet parking lot however this could've happened on a highway. Problem was confirmed by the nearby dealership Vehicle component has only been inspected by dealer No prior warning lights or messages other than what was mentioned.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11528802

Catastrophic failure of a brand new 2023 Genesis GV 70 on 6/6/23. The GV70 was purchased on 4/29/23 with 22 miles. It was not driven between 5/12/23 and 5/26/23 while I was out of the country. On the evening on 6/6/23 as I was merging onto the northbound lanes of the Baltimore Washington Parkway from I-295 DC, the vehicle violently shook, burning smell, and then shut off completely, including the steering column. I was able to partially drift to a right shoulder with the driver side of the vehicle still in a lane of traffic. I called the U.S. Park Police for assistance crawled over to the passenger side and put my seatbelt on in case the vehicle was hit. The USPS arrived and immediately blocked a lane of traffic and called Maryland DOT for further assistance because of the hazardous situation. Could not be towed because it would not stay in neutral. It then with no one in it started on its own, smoke coming out of exhaust and burning smell. I contacted manufacturer 6/6/23. To date, Genesis has not been able to tell me the cause of the catastrophic failure or has been able to fix the problem. I was put in a terrifying and dangerous situation.

[XXX] At approximately [XXX] pm, while driving to Dallas, Texas, the car bucked numerous times while attempting to pass another car at approximately 65 mph. The GV70 then started to deaccelerate. The speed dropped to around 50 mph. I continued to press the accelerator, but the car would not accelerate but the engine was revving (RPM hit around 5000) and then dropped back down. I continued driving with the speed varying between 45 and 55 mph even with the accelerator floored. As I got closer to Dallas, I could get the speed up to 60 - 65 mph with the accelerator floored but then on any incline, the speed would drop back to 45 - 50 mph. I had to turn the hazards on several times as the speed was well below the other vehicles. There were no warning lights. I was able to get the GV70 into a dealer the next morning who kept the car for 2 days. They ran diagnostics and drove the GV70 but could not replicate the problem nor did the diagnostics sow anything. They thought that maybe the car reset when it was turned off. Issue has occurred multiple times since initial occurrence. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

We were driving up a mountain pass in a great deal of stop and go traffic. The engine died and a check engine light came on. It was difficult to get the engine started, but it did start. We called the genesis service line and they said that it was a warning and ok to drive but to take it into be looked at. We proceeded up the mountain pass slowly, but when we were out of traffic and needed to give the engine gas to accelerate up the hills, the engine would not speed up. We were driving on interstates where we could only go 25 mph up the hill when others were speeding by us driving 60+ mph so we had to drive with our hazards in the right lane and hope not to get hit. When going down the hills, the engine would speed up, but any hills meant the speed would decrease even when you were engaging the gas. According the warnings we receive via Genesis in my app, the problem was Diagnostic code P0087F0 and said it was powertrain and the subsystem was EMS. We took the vehicle into the dealer and they were unable to recreate the problem. They reset the computer to the manufacturer reset. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This should not be happening on a 2023 car with 5000 miles on it.

My AC in my 2023 GV 70 stopped working. Apparently this is a known defect but I was never notified. Im currently in NC, 3 hours from my home in [XXX] where the heat index is 110 degrees. Now i have to drive home to get service without AC. I reached out to the dealer four times today including the service manager, service coordinator and Anthony the GM but no one has returned my call. I called Genesis customer service and their response was “sorry no appointments until late next week and we have no loaners until late September”. Clearly, no one at Genesis at the dealer level or corporate cares enough to help me solve this problem so I am forced to find an independent mechanic who can work on my vehicle and rent my own car until it’s repaired. This is completely unacceptable especially for a luxury vehicle. First, not being notified of a problem Genesis has known about for a long time so i could repair it before it’s become a calamity (where i am now). Second, no one cares enough to help me solve their defective parts problem! I expect Genesis to pay for both the repairs and my rental plus any additional out of pocket expenses.

While driving on the expressway during rush-hour traffic, multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard and several error messages appeared. At the same time, the vehicle began repeatedly jerking while I was traveling at low speed in heavy traffic. I continued driving for approximately 10 seconds, but the jerking continued. Because of the unusual vehicle behavior and the warning messages, I pulled over to the side of the road. After stopping, I attempted to shift the transmission into Park, but the vehicle would not allow me to change the gear. I turned the engine off and restarted the vehicle, but I was still unable to shift the vehicle into Drive. I attempted this three times. On the third attempt, the vehicle finally allowed me to shift into Drive, but the check engine light remained illuminated. I subsequently took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. The dealership stated that they updated the vehicle's software and reset the error codes. I am reporting this incident because the vehicle unexpectedly began jerking in heavy traffic, displayed multiple warning/error messages, and temporarily prevented me from changing the transmission gear. The inability to shift the vehicle normally and the sudden jerking created a potentially dangerous situation while driving on the expressway.

I purchased a new 2023 Genesis GV70 on [XXX] from the Genesis Janesville dealership. Within 3 months of driving the car, and less than 5,000 miles on the car, the breaks started to squeak. After approximately 8,000 miles, the all audio in the car malfunctioned and has not worked properly since. Additionally, I was driving on the interstate and the E brake engaged automatically (without engaging myself) and the car immediately deaccelerated from 75 miles to 35 miles within 3 seconds. Fortunately, it was early in the morning and there was no traffic, but if there was, it would certainly be life threatening. I immediately scheduled an appointment with Genesis dealership after the incident in Waukesha and dropped it off with their service team on [XXX]. The service manager (Derek) called me after dropping the vehicle off and noted that the emergency brake also malfunctioned when he was taking the car to the technicians. The service team indicated on [XXX] that they still have not found a solution to the audio issue. They also said they simply reset the car and after a 25 mile test drive the emergency brake did not go off and therefore the car should be safe to drive. Given the car has less than 10,000 miles and is already experiencing several issues, I strongly caution anyone from buying this vehicle.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11767083

The vehicle experienced difficulty starting, followed by the engine nearly stalling. Immediately afterward, diagnostic trouble code P0087F0 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low) was triggered and stored as an open code. This indicates the fuel rail/system pressure dropped below the level needed for normal engine operation, meaning the engine was not receiving adequate fuel. The failed component appears to be the fuel delivery/fuel pressure system (fuel pump or fuel rail). The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety may be put at risk because the engine nearly stalled while driving, which could cause a sudden loss of power in traffic, while merging, or at highway speed. The problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealer; I have an appointment scheduled but the earliest availability was approximately one month out given the severity of the symptom. There were no prior warning lamps or messages before this incident. The trouble code and symptoms (hard starting, near-stall) appeared together for the first time on the date of this incident. I am also aware that other 2022-2023 Genesis GV70 owners have reported this identical P0087F0 code with matching symptoms in connection with known fuel pump/fuel line defects (NHTSA recalls 24V-282 and a more recent 2026 fuel line recall). I checked NHTSA's VIN lookup tool and my vehicle does not currently show as included in either recall population, despite the matching symptoms.

Experienced acceleration problem with my brand new Genesis GV70, only 7 mos. old. I backed car out of garage and onto my street, put car in "drive" and pressed down on gas to move forward, but car would not accelerate. This was only for a split second, and then it started to accelerate. It was strange, though, and had never happened before. I continued on my route and as I was entering an onramp to get on freeway, car would not accelerate again. Car maintained 20mph speed but would not go any faster as I pushed down on the gas peddle. I was able to pull off to side of the ramp. I turned engine off and restarted car, tried to move forward again, but again would not accelerate. Turned car off again, restarted, and this time, I was able to accelerate. Very scary to think of this happening if I was already on freeway with cars going 70+mph. I took car to dealership and they checked everything out, and did not find anything wrong with the car. They were not able to replicate the issue. I am now concerned because I was not imagining this happening and it was very scary. I am aware that some prior year Genesis models had problems like this and Genesis/Hyundai have issued recall notices, but not for my 2023 model. It seems to me that there is still an issue with the 2023 models, as I have read of similar cases like mine on several genesis owner forums. I don't know how many people have to report the issue before it is deemed a safety concern. Does someone have to be severely injured or die first? I am afraid to drive my brand new car.

Driving the car on 2 separate occasions in last 3 weeks when car suddenly stopped when driving and vehicle forward collision warning-braking light went on and car stopped in middle of the road and could not drive forward .The first time it lasted several minutes and then I was able to drive. Notified dealer and told it would be doubtful it could be duplicated and wash the car. The second occasion we were in the interstate highway when it suddenly stopped and forward vehicle collision warning-braking light came on.This was extremely dangerous situation being in middle lane of interstate and inching over to shoulder only with help from a car in right lane . Could not drive 3-5 feet and car would stop. Had to work way to shoulder of highway from middle lane. Called dealer for help and no return call. Went into driver's Manuel and disabled the forward collision warning system. (later told I would need to do this every time I drove)--- Dealer then evaluated and said a rock " may have hit the radar thru the grill and bent it". ( yet there was no signs of damage on grill or elsewhere)--asked to have it covered on warranty and denied , later being told that there was signs of " stress crack in lower front bumper that may have caused this. Overall unacceptable explanation and it appears to be happening to other GV70's when looking on social medial .. Was told it would cost about $2,500 to replace and not covered in warranty . This was a very dangerous occurrence while driving on the highway and could have resulted in a serious accident with nothing to warn that is might occur ( it was sudden and severe braking)

I called the Genesis dealer on 7/20/23 as my car had 3 random incidents where the accelerator failed to respond as I came out of a turn at about 20 mph. After my appointment was set, that evening the vehicle came to an abrupt stop in the middle of the road with no warning. Had to restart car. This was a scare and dangerous situation. Car taken to dealer 7/21/23 for repair. I was told the water pump and sensor were replaced on a 11 month old car. I received my car back from the Genesis dealer on 7/26/23 and two days later, Friday, 7/28/23, the problem continued. While turning into the median to merge into traffic, I pressed the accelerator and the gas pedal stopped responding as the vehicle rapidly slowed down to stop in the road. Pressing on the gas pedal to accelerate the car did not help any as I felt like I was pumping air. I had to put on my hazard lights, move back into the median, and put the car in park. No warning lights on the car came on. I drove the car home (less than 2 miles) with the hazards lights on and called roadside to tow the car back to the dealership. it is very concerning to me that my GV70 continues to have a malfunction with slowing down or stopping without responding to the acceleration pedal. This puts me and my family’s safety at risk and is dangerous given than the car randomly and abruptly stops or slows down rapidly while I’m driving in traffic. The unreliability of the vehicle has me fearful of driving this vehicle. The repair made last week by replacing the water pump did not correct the defect with the GV 70. The vehicle is currently at the dealership in an effort to find the cause of the malfunction. Also, I noticed that the dealer paperwork given to had the problem I reported restated as a minor issue.

POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11509779

After my test, here's what I found: If the cruise control is Off and you press and hold the cruise control button for more than 2 seconds, the speed limit function activates as indicated by the "Limit" indicator on the multi-function display. In this mode, if the vehicle speed exceeds the limit speed and you press on the gas, the power is immediately cut off, and you can't accelerate. If the vehicle exceeds the limit speed, a warning bell will sound, and the speed will flash and power is cut when pressing on the gas. If the cruise control is ON, and you press and keep holding the cruise control button, sometimes the car will begin to slow below the set speed and continue to slow, even after releasing the cruise control button, and sometimes the cruise control will remain engaged after releasing the button. In this scenario, if you press on the gas to accelerate, the power is cut out and nothing happens even though you are below the limit speed. To restore power, you have to press and release the cruise control button to deactivate the cruise control. It's as though the cruise control gets into a mode where it won't hold speed, and pressing on the gas does nothing. This seems like a software bug. The above scenarios only happen when the cruise control is ON. Power is always available when the cruise control indicates that it is not activated or when in "Normal" (non-limit) mode when active. It seems counterintuitive that accelerating manually by pressing on the gas is overridden when in the "Limit" mode. I don't know if this is a design feature or a flaw. The vehicle lost power several times in traffic - and at that time do not believe the cruise control was being used The dealer says they cannot ascertain the problem and have referred it to an executive higher-level

My car exhibited a random loss of power which led to dangerous driving conditions. At times, when I wanted to accelerate to pass a vehicle on a two lane highway, I would enter the left lane to pass a vehicle and had zero acceleration which left me in a vulnerable position relative to oncoming traffic. Other times, the vehicle would not accelerate from a stop, rev to high RPMs and not shift out of 3rd gear without manual intervention. Another time, I was accelerating to make a lane change and the vehicle lagged, nearly causing a rear end collision by the vehicle behind me. There were no warning indications whatsoever on the dash, but I my OBD-II code reader indicated "P26CB00". When I researched this, I took my car into the dealer. The were able to replicate the problem and informed me that my vehicle had a punctured intercooler radiator which was caused by a road hazard and therefore would not be covered under warranty. After my inspection, I noticed a design flaw in the lower portion of the grill which allowed objects to impact the lower radiator without any protection whatsoever. Apparently, this leak caused my car's turbo system to not engage which is why there was a random loss of power. The repair of the radiator and water pump (which they said had failed because it ran dry) was over $2500. The dealer told me that they had had another Genesis GV70 with the same issue the prior week but that all cars have some unresolved problem or another. Based on my experience, this was a serious safety issue and so I also reached out to Genesis Corporate on 2/12/26 and they assigned it case #42240745. I have not heard back from them as of yet. Several people have posted about the issue on GV70 internet forums: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The headlight assemblies, both headlights, (headlamp housing) failed due to structural factory stress fracturing. The polycarbonate outer lens has developed clean, horizontal hairline cracks originating directly from the sealed lower edge where the housing meets the internal bumper brackets. This structural failure has breached the factory seal, causing severe water pooling inside the light assembly. Yes, the vehicle and the failing component are available for inspection upon request. The severe water accumulation inside the headlamp assembly poses an immediate night-driving safety hazard. Moisture intrusion directly exposes critical electrical connections and LED components to pooling water, risking a sudden, catastrophic short-circuit and total headlight failure while driving at night. This would instantly compromise forward visibility and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming traffic. Yes. The physical water accumulation and the structural hairline cracks were confirmed during a physical inspection at an authorized Genesis dealership service center. The dealership confirmed the presence of the moisture breach but attributed the damage to external influence, despite a total lack of any external impact marks. Yes, it has been inspected by the manufacturer. Visual photographic evidence of the failing headlamp component was formally escalated to Genesis Corporate Customer Care (Case #43274801). The corporate case manager conducted a digital review of the component and subsequently sided with the local dealership's denial of warranty coverage. There were no dashboard warning lights or prior to the failure. The first physical symptom appeared (cracks) appeared recently, but condensation was present at purchased. Upon closer inspection of the pooling water, the clean horizontal stress fractures along the bumper seam became visible.

I purchased this vehicle on February 27, 2023 from Genesis Johnson of Cary. When driving the vehicle away from the dealership (less than 200 miles) between 2/27/23 and 3/4/23, I started smelling a foul odor that smelled like fumes, burning, stale water. I contacted the dealership regarding these issues. I purchased an extended warranty. I was told that they could not help me. I read my contract that stated I could take the vehicle to any authorized dealership. During the time I drove the vehicle, there was massive amounts of rain. I told my sales person (Jim) that I thought something was terrible wrong. I am a person with multiple disabilities and am diagnosed with De quervain's disease, peripheral neuropathy, costochondritis, anemia, asthma, chronic rhinitis, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, depression and ganglion cysts. I requested an accommodation regarding sterilizing/ replacing the cabin filters. The dealership refused. To date, I do not know where the vehicle is located. The owner of the dealership where I purchased it (Carl Johnson) was notified. He harassed / retaliated while I was being medically treated in Louisiana, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia. To date, they still have my down payment, and have taken the vehicle and will not tell me where it is. Their attorney, Lee C. Hodge, also bullied / harassed /retaliated against me and threatened me with fees. Genesis Johnson of Cary refuses to refund my down payment of over six thousand dollars. My medical bills are substantial. The attorney for the dealership (Lee C. Hodge) continues to refuse to provide documentation regarding why his customers refused to honor the warranty I purchased and service the vehicle. My skin, lungs, hands, fingers, legs, arms have been severely damaged because of this vehicle. The same day I took the vehicle for service, I literally was standing at the service desk taking medication to help me breathe. The service director, Lemar, at Capital Hyundai also threatened me.

Electrical system failure

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11662664

The braking system of my 2023 Genesis GV70 has exhibited recurring failures, specifically the brake pedal and the ABS module. Since February 2025, the vehicle had ongoing brake pedal issues that required approximately 30 days of repair, during which the ABS module was replaced on April 24, 2025. The vehicle remains available for inspection in its current “as-is” condition as per manufacturer instructions until the Event Data Recorder (EDR) data is retrieved. On May 4, 2025—just 10 days after the ABS module replacement—the vehicle was involved in an accident. The unresolved braking issues likely contributed to the crash, directly endangering driver safety and that of others on the road. The dealer addressed the brake pedal and ABS issues during repairs, but no definitive resolution or independent confirmation has been made regarding the root cause. The problem persists as a potential safety hazard. The vehicle has been inspected by Progressive Insurance representatives. Initially, Genesis verbally approved my insurer’s certified third-party expert to retrieve the EDR data. However, Genesis reversed this approval and now insists that only their internal vendor may access the data, which could take 6–8 weeks—delaying independent investigation and resolution. This restrictive approach obstructs transparency and raises concerns about the integrity of the investigation. It has been three weeks since the accident and Genesis has yet to take steps to have the vehicle inspected or scheduled inspection. The police were involved at the time of the accident. Warning signs related to the brake pedal and ABS system appeared from February 2025, prompting the repair period and ABS module replacement. No new warnings appeared immediately before the accident, but the ongoing brake system issues clearly signaled a safety concern. Genesis has made no progress or scheduling effort, deliberately delaying while blocking my insurer from hiring a third party for timely investigation.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11622735

I am reporting a recurring issue with my 2023 Genesis GV70 2.5 Prestige. The vehicle consistently shudders and shakes when driving between 40-45 mph under normal conditions—whether accelerating, cruising, or maintaining speed on various roads. This noticeable shuddering affects ride smoothness and is concerning. I brought this problem to the Genesis maintenance department at my local dealership. They inspected the vehicle but claimed no issue was detected. Despite their assurances, the shuddering persists every time I drive within that speed range. No repairs were attempted; I was told the vehicle was operating as expected. Researching online, I found numerous other owners experiencing the same issue. Forums, including Reddit discussions, are filled with accounts from frustrated owners. Many report that even after having their differentials repaired or replaced multiple times, the issue continues, suggesting a design or manufacturing flaw not being addressed. I am deeply concerned about the safety implications of this persistent shuddering. It affects vehicle handling and stability at common speeds, potentially leading to loss of control. The unpredictability leaves me anxious while driving, fearing a mechanical failure or accident. I do not want to be stranded due to this unresolved problem. This issue has significantly diminished my confidence in the vehicle and the brand. The stress and inconvenience are substantial, disrupting my routine and peace of mind. The inaction and lack of acknowledgment from Genesis add to my frustration. I am requesting a thorough investigation into this matter. The prevalence among other owners indicates a systemic problem needing prompt attention. I urge the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to investigate these complaints to ensure Genesis resolves this defect and safeguards its customers. I hope that by reporting this problem, steps will be taken to prevent potential safety hazards for myself and other owners.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11754462

CORRECTION TO NHTSA COMPLAINT 11754243 (8/2/2026). That complaint was submitted late at night with assistance; several fields were entered wrong and the electrical failure history was omitted. Apologies for the error. Please associate this with XXX. CORRECTIONS: Vehicles towed - YES, TWO, not "No"; my Genesis is still at the dealer it was towed to in [XXX]. Injured - THREE, not 1. Police report - YES, not "No". Mileage about 23,500. Speed at T0 per the EDR - 23 km/h, about 14 mph. OMITTED AND MATERIAL: Before this crash the vehicle STARTED ITSELF TWICE WITH NO HUMAN COMMAND - no key press, no remote start, nobody in it. Separately the entire system went completely black, causing TOTAL ECU AND ECM FAILURE. The vehicle lost electrical integrity. WHY THAT MATTERS: Genesis Service Campaign 914G is "ECM Update - P030X Misfire"; its remedy is "Update the ECM (Engine Control Module) software." It covers 2022-2023MY GV70 (JK1) built 3/29/2021-3/4/2025, VIN starting KMU. My VIN is [XXX], a 2023 GV70. Owner notice was due September 2025. The campaign was still open and unremedied when the car crashed 12/3/2025. THE EVENT: Exiting a highway at low speed with no impact, collision or obstacle of any kind, the airbags deployed spontaneously. The deployment caused loss of control and a three-vehicle collision. The deployment caused the crash. No warning lamp or symptom preceded it. FAULT HISTORY: B139500 cross coupling (SRS firing-loop interconnection fault), B1650 (airbag control unit fault history), and multiple LOW VOLTAGE codes. An electrical system that starts an engine uncommanded and blacks out an ECU can fire a restraint with no crash. EDR: The report states the EDR is part of the Air Bag Control Unit and that if ACU power is lost during an event, all or part of the data may not be recorded. Manufacturer closed its claim with no repair or explanation. Vehicle and ACU remain available; no dealer diagnostic was done on the ACU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF

I purchased the vehicle on March 30, 2023, & my Check engine light has been on eleven times since June 2023. I was involved in a car accident on August 25, 2023, where the car appeared to have no gas. However, gas was in the vehicle, and the brakes were not operating correctly as I had to continue pumping the brakes to stop the vehicle. Furthermore, there is over $15k in damages and counting. I have been placed off work due to the injuries sustained in the vehicle accident due to the negligence of the manufacturer & dealer. I have left several messages for my Case Manager, [XXX] for several days, with unsuccessful attempts. [XXX] finally contacted me on 8/30/2023 @ 3:08 pm, apologizing for Genesis not living up to the “white glove” expectation advertised, and then she asked me what she could do for me. The call with [XXX] lasted 7-8 minutes. However, I constantly repeated myself, informing her of the information I stated in this email regarding my check engine light; my vehicle was serviced on Friday, June 30, 2023 (See Service History Below). Since then, the check engine light has illuminated nine other times with some of the same and or different codes. I had an appt to return my vehicle to the same dealership for the second time since June, as the dealership had the car for approximately eight/nine days. On August 12, 2023, I scheduled an appt. Per the system availability of August 25, 2023, @ 10 a.m. for Valet Pick-up. For confirmation of the scheduled appointment, I called GenesisCare on 8/23/2023, and the rep informed me that they did not have an appointment for me in the system. Furthermore, on several occasions, when I have attempted to make an appointment, the system does not recognize the appointment scheduled via the app or desktop. I was only informed about the technical issues with the software application via phone and desktop when I spoke with the service manager [XXX] ) Genesis of Atlanta. The accident occurred 8/25/2023.
