2025 Genesis GV70

Vehicle has physically and forcibly moved both forward and backward, on its own, after being placed in Park and the engine turned off — including after occupants have exited the vehicle. This movement has struck the driver and two minor children on multiple separate occasions, as well as nearby curbs and objects, without physical injury. No warning lamps or dashboard messages appeared before or during these incidents. Because the movement occurs after occupants have exited the vehicle, it is unknown how many additional times this may have occurred unobserved. Dealer states it was unable to duplicate this condition during a test drive. During this same visit, the right front CV axle was found to be leaking grease and had lost lubricant, and required full replacement. Both front horns were also found inoperable/defective due to internal short and were replaced. Neither of these conditions had been previously reported as faulty prior to this visit. Separately, this vehicle has experienced a steering column defect. At approximately 9,000 miles, a steering wheel squeak was reported and a dust cover was replaced. During that same earlier visit, an intermittent loss of acceleration was also reported; the dealer was unable to duplicate this concern and documented the vehicle as “operating as designed.” Weeks after that visit, a knocking noise developed in the steering column. At approximately 10,000 miles, a technician found a structural through-bolt in the steering column not torqued to manufacturer specification and corrected it. Dealer advised in writing that this defect was likely present at the time of manufacture. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized dealer on multiple occasions for these concerns. The owner has repeatedly requested, in writing, a detailed explanation of what was diagnosed, what was repaired, and the underlying cause of the movement, the axle failure, and the horn failure, and has not received a substantive written response as of this filing

I am writing to formally escalate a serious unresolved issue with my Genesis vehicle and the service experience I have received from Genesis of Huntington. My vehicle has experienced repeated and dangerous malfunctions despite multiple repair attempts. The most concerning issue is that the vehicle suddenly stops functioning properly while driving, accompanied by all dashboard warning lights flashing. In order to continue driving, I have had to turn the vehicle off and restart it. The vehicle has been brought back to the dealership multiple times for the same problem. Each time I was informed that the issue had been repaired and that parts had been replaced. However, the problem continues to occur even after these repairs. One of the most alarming incidents occurred while I was driving from Huntington back to Queens with my wife and newborn child in the car. The vehicle malfunctioned again, forcing me to stop and restart the car while on the road. This situation created a serious safety risk for my family. Additionally, the vehicle has been kept by the dealership for extended periods during repair attempts. As of my most recent interaction, the dealership had the vehicle for nearly two weeks during the third repair attempt for the same issue. Despite this significant amount of time, the problem remains unresolved. Compounding the issue is the lack of communication from the dealership. My attempts to contact the service department and management for updates have often gone unanswered, leaving me without information regarding the status of my vehicle. At this point, I have lost confidence in the reliability of the vehicle and the ability of the dealership to properly diagnose and repair the issue. I respectfully request immediate intervention from Genesis Motor America to review this matter. Given the repeated repair attempts for the same defect and the safety concerns involved, I ask that Genesis consider a permanent resolution.

The contact owns a 2025 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle, it failed to exceed 15 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) was replaced. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving on several occasions, the instrument panel unintendedly turned off. The failure had been occurring intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the vehicle could not be diagnosed unless the failure occurred during the diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact learned online that another vehicle owner had experienced the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed that the report would be escalated to the correct department. The failure mileage was approximately 11,475.

My vehicle failed while in motion. I lost power to the vehicle and power steering. Just before the car failed, I heard a pop and a warning light came on that said "Check Electric Vehicle System". The car's ICCU failed and caused failures of the battery and 12v battery. My safety and everyone on the road around me's safety was put at risk when I lost the ability to accelerate or use power steering. The car was towed to a dealer and the dealer confirmed the issue. The ICCU failure and failure of the vehicle while in motion is directly related to a previous safety recall (025G) for which repair work was done on my vehicle. The recall repair was ineffective as the very issue it was intended to resolve still happened to me in a 1 year old car with only 8,000 miles.

On Feb. 2, While driving slowly in a school zone, with no cars in front of me, my car proceeded to abruptly brake over and over 5 times. The warning came on the dash "front end collision". I also had NO CONTROL over the car! I was extremely fortunate not to be rear ended during this event. At that time I immediately called my Genesis dealer who asked if it was snowing and often this can occur! What???? No it was NOT snowing and HOW could I drive a car knowing that this dangerous event can happen????? The Service Advisor was NOT very helpful, offered NO solutions and I was very scared driving my car home to say the least! Today, Feb. 3 (the next day following this incident) I called my Genesis dealer again asking for the Service Mgr. The car was now showed a warning light indicating a malfunction in the Active Air Flap system and the Service Mgr. informed me that the car is NOT SAFE to drive and they would tow it to the dealership.

I was driving on the road when suddenly the car started an alarm sound, with the message in the heads up display to "stop immediately and check the brake system". I pulled over into the nearest side street and parked the car. When I put it back in drive, I had lost power steering, and half of the warning indicators had lit up, including but not limited to: power steering warning, brake warning, charging system warning, oil pressure warning, master warning light, parking brake and brake fluid warning, ABS Warning, and AWD warning. I tried holding down the parking brake button, and the first time all the lights went away for 5 seconds, but then they all came back again. I restarted the car a few times, and each time I got the same "check brake system" message as well as all the warning light symbols. I was not able to drive my car at all to remove it from in front of other peoples houses. I had to tow the car to the dealership, and the SOS button on the car did nothing. No warning lamps, messages, or similar symptoms had appeared prior to the failure, they all showed up after the "check brake system" alert appeared. 6 months ago I had another problem with the car, where past the speed of 30 MPH, the car would not shift gears up to a higher one. It kept increasing the RPMs when trying to go faster but would not shift gears, leaving me unable to safely match the speed of traffic and having to drive all the way to the dealership with my hazard lights on.

The contact owns a 2025 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and occupied or while driving, the infotainment system displayed a blank screen. No warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the infotainment system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, and a software update was performed. The contact related the failure NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V105000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,000.

The vehicle has 1500 miles on it. I was driving around 40mph when the engine suddenly lost power and the immobilization light appeared. I was no longer able to accelerate. I coasted to a side street where the vehicle placed itself in Park. I restarted the vehicle and it worked. The next morning, the vehicle would not start and the immobilization light was present again. After checking the key fobs and battery, roadside assistance and I could not find the issue. Remote start from the app also did not work. It was towed to the dealer for assessment which is where it currently sits. If this happened on my regular highway route, I would possibly be stranded in the middle of the highway endangering me and others.
