When driving the vehicle it feels as though as it stalls due to choking all or some of the fuel getting to the engine. This is most prone when accelerating fast. It feels as though the fuel is shut off or severely diminished as the vehicle will accelerate, but at a fraction (crawl) of the normal output available and accomplished in the past.

On numerous occasions, while driving with the adaptive cruise control on, at highway speeds, and no other vehicles near me, the system emits several beeps, shows that I'm close to a vehicle ahead of me (there isn't one), and initiates hard braking for maybe a couple of seconds. It is VERY disconcerting, and I haven't been able to find a common denominator for this issue, except that it seems to only happen during daylight hours, on sunny days. Should this happen while another car is following me, this could certainly cause an accident.

Genesis issued safety recall for all 2019 G70’s because the starter solenoid could be contaminated with water resulting in a potential risk for an engine compartment fire ( letter received from Genesis Motor America LLC. 8-1-24 ). Currently the solenoid replacement part for Genesis recall # 018G is not available @ any US dealerships; thus, requiring placing an order for said part. This represents a profound lack of timely customer service and is an ongoing problem with Genesis parts supply chain.

Hi, I’m an Automotive technician writing on behalf of my Girlfriend. She drives a 2019 Genesis G70 2.0T. Her High pressure fuel pump failed Diagnosed by me. Throwing the Code P0088 which is a too high pressure in fuel rail system code. She was driving to work in the morning about last week and was on the highway when the car completely lost power and would not move at all on the Highway she takes to work. Fortunately she was able to get the car limped home safely and no one was hurt but after this I contacted Genesis about the open recall they have for the high pressure fuel pump and asked if they could help us out even though there was no remedy available yet according to them and we had no help. Case manager just told us basically we have to pay out of pocket and that Genesis will not reimburse us for this inconvenience. The bulletin they released regarding the Recall states if the car has a check engine light for the high pressure fuel pump that it would be replaced at no cost to the owner regardless of Warranty situations. But they refuse to help. That’s why I am writing this because my Girlfriend needs a working vehicle to get to work and safely. Genesis needs to own up because I should not have to pay over 1000$ out of pocket because of a manufacturer mistake.

From six to ten times over the past year, while at highway speeds, the adaptive cruise control has suddenly sounded warning chimes and momentarily engaged emergency braking, when there is no other vehicle or object ahead of me. I have had the system suddenly brake from over 70mph down to between 50 and 55mph, then begin to accelerate again. This has always happened in good daylight and clear weather. Fortunately, it has not happened when I had a vehicle close following me. Recently this happened three times on a three hour highway trip, and once again the following morning, also on a highway. On 11/07/23 I took it to the Genesis dealer, but the technician was unable to reproduce the problem.
