The contact owns a 2019 Genesis G70. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing starting issues. Additionally, while driving 15-20 MPH and coming to a stop, the vehicle stalled and lost motive power. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and was able to drive to the intended destination. The contact stated that the failure recurred and progressively worsened. While researching the failure online, the contact discovered that the failure was a common issue. The vehicle was initially taken to the dealer, where an unknown software update was performed, and the check engine warning light illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced; however, it was determined that the failure was not covered under warranty because a specific DTC indicating that the fuel mixture was too rich was not retrieved. The manufacturer, Genesis, was notified of the failure by phone, filed a case, and scheduled a service appointment with a dealer for the contact. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.
