2025 Genesis GV70

The contact owned a 2025 Genesis GV70. The contact's spouse stated that while attempting to make a turn, the brake pedal was depressed and the accelerator pedal was inadvertently applied. The contact's spouse was unaware whether any warning lights were illuminated due to the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated, causing the vehicle to crash into a sidewalk and then into a ditch. No injuries were sustained at the time of the crash, and no medical attention was sought immediately following the incident. However, the contact later suffered neck and knee injuries. The contact's spouse stated that none of the air bags deployed during the crash. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and was later deemed a total loss by an independent mechanic. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,100. The VIN was unavailable.

Airbags failed to deploy after pre-collision system did not activate nor did the emergency breaking activate. I struck a larger SUV while traveling ~35 mph broadside and there was no assistance from the vehicle safety features. It is unknown to me if any of the components have been adequately assessed since. I am concerned that the vehicle may be resold without proper inspection and has to potential to injure other parties in the future.
