New Car Assessment Program

The 2022GENESISGV80 carries 60 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 3 crashes, 0 fires, 3 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall 5/5 rating, with 4/5 front crash, 5/5 side crash, and 4/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2022 GV80 is fuel/propulsion system with 12 filings, followed by engine (11) and electrical system (7). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

No open NHTSA investigation overlaps the 2022 GV80 in the current dataset. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration. Use the related-complaint feed below to read raw owner narratives before deciding whether any pattern here affects your specific use case.

Horn stopped working while trying to use on the highway. This is after the passenger headlight failed in July 2025. Why are these safety concerns not being addressed by the manufacturer?

20250616EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Drivers side headlights started collecting condensation,after 2 weeks the daytime running lights stopped working. When driving thru rain the headlights stopped working and the LED warning light came on.We can’t comfortably drive in the rain or after dark without safe lighting. The local Genesis dealer inspected the issue and the manufacturer has offered to cover 1/2 the cost of replacement. The vehicle is 3 years old and while over the mileage for warranty this is an issue which should be covered 100% as it is a safety issue. The LED headlights should have a longer lifespan.

20250529FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

This vehicle had been in the shop for over a month due to the emergency brake system freezing up causing my rear wheels to lock up, to smoke and rotors become damaged. Dealership could not find anything wrong as could not duplicate the issue. They did say that the EBS did engage while driving down the interstate at 70+ MPH. No reason why. Not normal! It was returned to me. Then 1 week after getting it back the vehicle started shaking violently when at speeds in excess of 65 for about 30 seconds. The RPM goes from 2 to 4 with difficult acceleration. When it gets back to normal, there is a definite clunk. Do not get any warning lights. Has happened 3 time in less than 2 weeks. Is not safe to drive! It is back at the dealership. Something is wrong with the vehicle. Have a video

Recurrent failures of horn system. Randomly stops working. Dealer keeps replacing horns but unable to locate problem. This is critical safety equipment. It recurrently puts the safety of myself and my family at risk as the time the horn failure is discovered is when we are using it to warn other driver of a hazard(i'm in their blind spot or they are pulling out/making left/making right on red..without adequately clearing right of way.) The horn is something you take for granted until you need it. At this point, dealer's official take is that this is a frequent problem with the Genesis GV80 model and other customers are also affected. The recommendation from genesis corporate to the dealers has been to repeatedly replace the horns when they fail and they will not send an engineer out. sometimes it takes months to get the appointment to get the horn replaced and im driving without one resulting in a multitude of close calls. I'm sure others have been involved in a collision where they co

While driving down the interstate the rear brakes locked up. Was not able to accelerate over 65 mph. Originally thought it was a transmission issue until I was able to pull over smelled burning rubber and saw smoke coming from the rear brakes and the rotors completely gouged. The dealership originally indicated it is a safety issue and would have to call in an engineer but then stated that they are not able to duplicate the issue so I will have to pay for the repair out-of-pocket and will return the vehicle to me. Told them I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. No warning lights. Vehicle is currently at the Genesis of Minneapolis

20250218ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Since the coasting feature on the Genesis GV80 and similar models is inoperative, it could mean that Genesis misrepresented the vehicle’s fuel efficiency and emissions performance. The coasting function is designed to disengage the engine from the drivetrain to improve fuel economy, and because it doesn’t work as advertised, real-world MPG may be lower than stated. This could mislead consumers who purchased the vehicle expecting better efficiency. Additionally, coasting reduces engine load and fuel consumption, meaning that with it disabled, carbon emissions could be higher than what was tested or certified. Since official EPA fuel economy ratings were calculated with the assumption that coasting is active, but in practice, the feature never engages, this could be considered a form of emissions cheating or consumer fraud. Such discrepancies raise regulatory concerns and provide grounds for legal action, including a class-action lawsuit, if buyers were misled into purchasing a vehic

On numerous occasions in the last 3 years the AEB malfunctions and abruptly stops the car. It engages the AEB at least 2 more times before allowing the car to advance. It has happened after waiting at a light, while in stop and go traffic (on [XXX] in Orlando, FL with a tractor trailer behind me, and when exiting an exit ramp slowly with other cars. The most troubling event was when I was the first car at a light with no cars in front of me. The AEB engaged at least 8 times in succession during this event (this was in the middle of a busy intersection). This event was [XXX]. When this first happened I took the car to the Genesis dealership where is was purchased and was told that they couldn’t find an issue. I have subsequently been in touch with another dealership and was told on the phone that they have never heard of that happening. I found a short video on the internet today of this happening to someone, as well other people saying that it happened to them and the dealership does

Driver's bottom seat is so uncomfortable and stiff that it is cutting off blood supply to my extremities after only few minutes of driving now. I have numb feeling in my feet and toes. I am worried that this will reduce my ability to brake (stop the car) correctly in case of emergency. It feels like sitting on two very uncomfortable metal bars that are penetrating into your [XXX] and cutting off your blood supply. Over time your entire body is exhausted requiring you move in your seat a lot, even when driving at highway speeds. Both of these are major safety concerns for me. Issue started on date of purchase and progressively got worse over time. Car was taken into dealer for assessment in Ogden, UT (my nearest service center) to be told verbally on the day of service that they found and made adjustment to massaging air bars since my seat has this option and that it should be better now. Due to not getting correct part for unrelated problem that was being fixed on the same day, deale

The electrical wiring harnesses affecting numerous safety systems (forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning) have been chewed through by rodents. Upon further research it was determined that starting in 2016 Asian automotive manufacturers (Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai) began using soy-based insulation in their wiring harnesses as alternatives to petroleum-based insulation. Rodents (mice, squirrels, etc.) are attracted to the wiring harnesses. The resultant damage and safety concerns led customers to file several lawsuits against the manufacturers. It is not clear whether Hyundai stopped the use of these soy-based wiring harnesses after 2021. Genesis is a spin-off of Hyundai, leveraging common parts. It appears that these soy-based wiring harnesses are being used in some of the 2022 GV80 models. Genesis currently burdens its customers with the cost to troubleshoot and replace these harnesses.
