Since it was new, my 2019 Genesis G70 Twin Turbo with AWD has had occasional long hesitation (it happens every couple of days) when I step on the gas, lasting anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds. It happens from a stop, and also at times when the car is going 5-10 mph. The motor has been fully warmed up when this happens. When you step on the gas, the motor is still running but there is no response, no increase in engine rpm, then after a hesitation of up to 10 seconds, it kicks in with a sudden surge of speed. No warning lights come on. Needless to say, this is very dangerous when attempting to pull out into highway traffic, or simply maneuvering around in parking lots or normal traffic conditions. The danger is not just the failure to move, but also the sudden unpredictable lurch forward when it "catches". I brought it to the dealer several times, but it never hesitates when they have it, and they see nothing wrong. The car was scanned by an independent mechanic and he found no codes or any indication of a problem. I tried shutting off Electronic Stability Control but it didn't help. It happens in all modes, including sport mode. This is a continuous issue. The car currently has 12,505 miles on the odometer.
Engine stalled when stopped at a traffic light. There was heavy traffic in front and to the rear of my vehicle. I was in the far right lane. It was 102 degrees outside. I was able to restart the vehicle about two minutes after the initial stall. I was then able to drive the vehicle to my home where it was then towed to the neare…

Engine stalled when stopped at a traffic light. There was heavy traffic in front and to the rear of my vehicle. I was in the far right lane. It was 102 degrees outside. I was able to restart the vehicle about two minutes after the initial stall. I was then able to drive the vehicle to my home where it was then towed to the nearest Genesis dealer. No warning lights. Dealer stated no error codes were found and they could not duplicate the problem. After pushing for a solution they stated they will replace the fuel pump. Seems to be an ongoing, extremely dangerous problem with Genesis owners vehicles.
