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".

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.

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 happe

I was heading home early in the morning on 12/13/2025 to drop a few passengers on Springfield avenue heading east in Champaign IL (the Main Street) and the other vehicle came from 5th st heading north (5th street is a side street with a stop sign at that intersection). As I approached the intersection I saw the car come forward and then come to a complete stop before the intersection I assumed to look both ways.

20251128FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

I started leasing this car brand new in April. The most problematic issue I have encountered is the false emergency breaking when backing up, which has almost gotten me into an accident multiple times. It happens randomly when the car is in reverse and it's never triggered by anything that's actually in the way while backing up. It's like a glitch. And when it break-checks me, it's an intense jolt that scares me every single time, it feels like I ran into a wall. When I have tried to make a quic

20250904ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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 war

When I press the gas pedal halfway or 3/4 nothing happens - which is really bad in heavy traffic situations. On the highway, I floored it and the RPM was racing but it wouldn't shift up, so the engine was racing but there was no acceleration at all. I backed off and accelerated lightly, it would speed up. Scary. I have stomped on the accelerator it will rev to between 4 and 5 thousand rpms never up shifting or accelerating. Happens to frequently and I only have 11,000 miles on the vehicle. G

20250716EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Newly purchased 10 months ago and both right and left headlight inner lenses are covered in condensation. Blurs the LED light illumination. Reduced night illumination for maximum distance of road hazards. Increased chance of premature bulb failure due to direct exposure of moisture/water vapors. Unreliability of critical lighting safety requirements.

Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, I am submitting this complaint regarding a persistent and concerning issue with my brand-new 2025 Genesis GV70. Since shortly after purchasing the vehicle in April 2025, I’ve experienced a loud metal-to-metal noise when reversing down my driveway — an incline where the issue consistently presents itself. Timeline of Events: June 9, 2025 – I brought the car to the dealership service department, reporting the metal-on-metal braking sound.

20250611CrashAIR BAGS

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.
