What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I purchased the vehicle on March 30, 2023, & my Check engine light has been on eleven times since June 2023. I was involved in a car accident on August 25, 2023, where the car appeared to have no gas.
The vehicle experienced difficulty starting, followed by the engine nearly stalling. Immediately afterward, diagnostic trouble code P0087F0 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low) was triggered and stored as an open code.
NO check engine or warning signs displayed. I traveled from Midland, TX to [dealer] for scheduled maintenance to be performed. Later that day was informed that my radiator had been crack. Due to road debris and my extended warranty would not cover it most likely.
The headlight assemblies, both headlights, (headlamp housing) failed due to structural factory stress fracturing. The polycarbonate outer lens has developed clean, horizontal hairline cracks originating directly from the sealed lower edge where the housing meets the internal bumper brackets.
While driving on the expressway during rush-hour traffic, multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard and several error messages appeared. At the same time, the vehicle began repeatedly jerking while I was traveling at low speed in heavy traffic.
My AC in my 2023 GV 70 stopped working. Apparently this is a known defect but I was never notified. Im currently in NC, 3 hours from my home in [XXX] where the heat index is 110 degrees. Now i have to drive home to get service without AC.
The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V229000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was not made aware of the issue.
Left front headlight accumulates significant amount of water that worsens with rain events. Places water in proximity with LED lamps and wiring creating risk of electrical shorts and lamp failure. This is known issue addressed by a Genesis TSB, but no recall has been initiated despite safety concerns,
