2019 Genesis G70 Problems

Vehicle is currently disabled due to Open Recall Campaign #262/023G (NHTSA Recall Number 24V528000) for High-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure. On 05/19/2026, the vehicle suffered total loss of drive power at highway speeds (Hwy 16/211), creating an immediate hazard. The manufacturer failed to provide a timely remedy, initially misdirecting me to a dealer unable to service the model. Genesis and the local dealer now refuse to provide a courtesy tow to an authorized facility, despite the vehicle being disabled by their own safety defect. The vehicle has been stranded and unrepaired for over a month. This leaves my son at risk, as he must walk along dangerous highways during Extreme Heat Advisories while managing a spinal injury. The impact of being without a reliable, functioning vehicle at this address is not merely an inconvenience—it is a critical safety issue. We reside in a remote area where even emergency responders (EMS) have been unable to locate our entrance when responding to a recent medical emergency involving a hiatal hernia. Being without a vehicle that can reliably transport us or navigate to a main road is not a sustainable or safe position, and by refusing to remedy this recall defect, Genesis is directly contributing to this hazardous environment. I have explained this entire situation with Genesis Escalation without a resolution The safety hazard is compounded by the lack of local transportation. My son has been forced to walk along the shoulder of Highway 16 to get to work. He was recently stopped by a Texas Highway Patrol officer who checked his ID and expressed significant concern for his safety, warning him of the extreme danger of walking on that highway shoulder. While no citation was issued—as the officer recognized this is his only way to get to work—the incident confirms that the location is objectively unsafe for pedestrians.

I have contacted Genesis multiple times about finding an authorized repair center to complete the recall there are none in my city or state they keep telling me that their site is down and that they will call me back but they still have not it's been two weeks I've called multiple times and have no resolution to the recall on my g70 On the website it says Hyundai dealerships should be able to fix the recall both Hyundai dealerships in Albuquerque Larry h Miller have refused to do the recall saying that they can't do it I've been told this is a pretty dangerous situation and my car can catch fire and neither the Genesis manufacturer or the Hyundai dealerships are willing to help me at all I did not buy it from a Hyundai dealership I bought it from Rich Ford as one of those certified used cars.

I had the known reported issue TSB 25-BE-004G repaired and even after repair there is a burning wire smell that the dealer claims they can’t replicate. We had the same issue with Genesis Plano initially and after driving the vehicle out of state we were stranded and took it to Genesis of Peoria where the issue was diagnosed. We are encountering the issue again and it is a fire risk hazard.

The contact owns a 2019 Genesis G70. The contact stated that upon advising a friend that the turbocharger oil feed pipe was made of plastic, the contact was informed that there was a recall related to the issue. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was confirmed that another dealer had marked NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V191000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); as completed even though the recall repair was not performed on the vehicle. The dealer and the district engineers inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the recall repair was not performed. The dealer notified the manufacturer of the issue and sent supporting pictures to the manufacturer; however, the manufacturer denied coverage after receiving several claims from the dealer. The dealer then advised the contact to report the issue to the NHTSA Hotline because the vehicle was at risk of catching on fire. The contact had not yet experienced a failure.

The contact owns a 2019 Genesis G70. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the audiovisual navigation screen displayed a blank screen. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The failure was persistent, and the audiovisual navigation screen was peeling and distorted. The contact was willing to pay out of pocket for the repair; however, parts were not available by any vendors. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact stated that several complaints were filed. The contact stated that coverage for the repair was denied. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT AT STARTUP - POTENTIAL CLUTCH DEFECT On January 17, 2026, at approximately 1:59 PM, I started my 2019 Genesis G70 (manual transmission) while parked in my garage. The vehicle was in Neutral with the parking brake engaged. I depressed the clutch pedal fully before pressing the start button, with no foot on the accelerator. Immediately upon starting, the vehicle lurched backward at significant speed without any driver input to accelerator, gear shift, or parking brake release. I attempted to stop the motion by pressing the brake pedal firmly but the vehicle continued moving. The vehicle struck the garage door frame (bending the driver's door backward), nearly pinning my [XXX] son between the door and garage structure. The car continued across my driveway, struck my neighbor's parked Lexus RX 350, then crashed into the neighbor's garage door and siding. RELEVANT PRIOR HISTORY: - February 7, 2025: Genesis authorized clutch/transmission repair at Rick Case Genesis dealership - February 27, 2025: Dealership stated car was ready, but upon arrival, technician could not release vehicle because it would "not shift gears" or "move" - March 5, 2025: Vehicle released; clutch engagement point was unusually high - December 2025: Clutch pedal required full depression to shift reliably - January 2026: Difficulty shifting in cold weather unless car was warmed up POST-INCIDENT OBSERVATIONS: - Clutch engagement point was on the floor (abnormally low) - No dashboard warning lights appeared before or during incident - Backup camera did not activate - EDR data (downloaded by Genesis March 5, 2026) confirms 0% accelerator pedal and 0% engine throttle throughout the event INJURIES: Minor (skin abrasion to my toe). My son was nearly pinned but not injured. PROPERTY DAMAGE: My vehicle (door/frame), neighbor's vehicle, neighbor's garage door and siding. MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Genesis Case XXX opened.

I'd like to note that I've seen a large amount of 2019 Genesis G70 RWD drivers make the same complaint as myself, the VSS completely and suddenly just stopped working. No heavy or hazardous driving to report. The VSS ties into the ABS, forward collision, and blind-spot safety cameras making them all inoperable.

5 times in the last 3 months the vehicle stalled while coming to a stop to put in park once, and 4 other times when the vehicle was off and parked, then started. The vehicle immediately began to stall out sounding as if it wasn't getting enough fuel. The last 2 times it stalled when being started, the vehicle remained on once I gave it a little gas by pressing the gas pedal when the stall started. The dealership is aware and performed a software update stating no components needed replaced and to keep an eye on it and a record of when it happens. Although it's believed to be an issue with the fuel pump, this specific one is not listed under the fuel pump recall.

No heavy or hazardous driving to report. The VSS ties into the ABS, forward collision, and blind-spot safety cameras making them all inoperable.

I had 2 accidents in the same week. First one was Monday 2-20-2023. Leaving work heading home, I was at a red light. The light turned green and the car in front proceeded to go. As I hit the accelerator, my car ran into the back of a car full speed. Every attempt to stop car and was unsuccessful. I called to make appt at dealership to have car inspected. Before I could get to said appt at dealership, a very similar incident happened again 2 days later as I was pulling into parking lot of work. Pulling into parking spot, my car continued to accelerate into the building. Again, attempted to stop but was unsuccessful. I suffered mild concussion from hitting head on steering wheel. Air bags DID NOT deploy. No warning from car until impact happened. Was taken to hospital via ambulance for further examination.

As I was driving my Genesis G70 on the highway last week in heavy traffic, without any warning, the sunroof exploded. It made a very loud noise and scared the hell out of me. Luckily I maintained control of the vehicle. The sunroof was closed at the time, but the violent buffeting of the sunshade let me know that there was no longer any glass above it. It was a mild 50 degree day, with no snow or ice on the ground or on the vehicles around me. I hadn't hit a pothole or anything like that, and I hadn't driven under any overpass. Nothing came through the sunshade, other than broken glass when I opened it to confirm the failure. I was able to pull over at a rest stop in the next mile or so, and inspect the vehicle. I also took pictures of what was left of the sunroof. It was all shattered and cracked, and about half the glass, from the middle section, was gone. It must have pelted the cars behind me on the highway with glass fragments. I had to remove the remaining broken glass that I thought would likely fly off as I drove home, as well as the glass that had fallen into the interior, and put it in the trunk until I got home. I called Genesis Customer Care from the roadside and told them what had just happened. They have opened a case number, but six days later I still don't know what they plan to do about it. The day after it occurred I also called my insurance agent and my local dealer where I bought the car and told them about it. I'm waiting to find out when I can get the sunroof replaced on my daily driver, and if it will be paid for, along with the rental or loaner car that I'll need while it's in the shop. Neither the dealer or Genesis have asked to see the car or the pictures I took. After doing some research, it seems that sudden failures ("explosions") of the sunroof on Hyundai (and now Genesis) vehicles is not that uncommon. This is a dangerous failure as it could cause the driver to lose control, as well as hitting other cars on the road with glass.

The contact owns a 2019 Genesis G70. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and merging into the right lane, the contact became aware that the passenger’s side sideview mirror was still locked in the closed position. The contact stated that the sideview mirror failed to retract when the vehicle was unlocked. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was contacted and stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 11,500.

Component that failed: Driver-side mirror actuator on my 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T (power-folding, auto-dimming mirror). It intermittently malfunctions by tilting completely up or down without input, making it impossible to see out of the mirror while driving. Safety risk: Yes — this defect significantly compromises visibility on the driver’s side, especially when changing lanes or merging. It has nearly caused multiple accidents due to blind spot obstruction. Reproduction/confirmation: Yes — the issue was originally diagnosed and repaired under warranty by Genesis of Cumming in July 2023. The exact same issue has recurred. Genesis of Gwinnett has confirmed the mirror needs replacement but refuses coverage. Inspection: The vehicle has been inspected by multiple Genesis dealerships and was referred from Classic Collision (where mirror was replaced during accident repair). All agree the part is malfunctioning again, but Genesis Motor America has refused further assistance. Warning lamps/messages: There were no warning lights, but the failure presents physically as the mirror moving on its own without any driver input and staying locked in an unusable position until manually readjusted — sometimes repeatedly during the same drive. Assessment: This is a safety-critical failure that Genesis previously repaired under warranty and has now refused to take responsibility for. The issue affects visibility and endangers both the driver and others on the road.

I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MONTHS. DURING THIS TIME, I HAVE BEEN IN TWO MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST INCIDENT INVOLVED AN 18 WHEELER ON A HOUSTON FREEWAY THAT SIDESWIPED THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR RIM, WHICH EXPLODED AND I WAS TURNED THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND TRAVELED ACROSS 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC. APPROXIMATELY $12K IN DAMAGE WITH NO SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYMENT. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION WITH NO FOLLOW-UP. THE 2ND INCIDENT WAS IN DECEMBER AND I HIT A DEER RUNNING ACROSS THE ROAD. IT WAS A SQUARE HIT WITH ME GOING FROM 65 TO 0 AND THE DEER RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. AS OF TODAY, THE DAMAGE IS ALL LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND AGAIN, NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED, WITH A TOTAL REPAIR BILL OF $13.8K. THIS TIME I CONTACTED GENESIS AS THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM SAFE. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER, WHO HAD THE BODY SHOP STOP ALL REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 6 WEEKS BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION COULD BE COMPLETED. DURING THIS TIME, I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. I WASN'T EVEN OFFERED A LOANER. I HAVE NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT, EVEN AFTER BEING CHARGED FOR TWO TYPES OF WARRANTIES AND WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T EXIST. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE $9K CHARGE ON THE BILL OF SALE, WHICH WAS TO BE THE CHARGE FOR THE TWO WARRANTIES. IF THE CAR'S SAFETY FEATURES DON'T WORK, I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR.

EVEN WITH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WARNS YOU TO PUT YOU HANDS ON THE WHEEL. WHEN ACCELERATING USING THE STEERING WHEEL CRUISE CONTROLS THE CAR ACCELERATES RAPIDLY GOING WAY FASTER THAN ONE WOULD WISH. UNLIKE MOST CARS, THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT LOCK IN A SPEED WHEN YOU RELEASE IT WHEN SPEEDOMETER READS THE DESIRED SPEED. INSTEAD THE CARE KEEPS ACCELERATING, THE TURBO KICKS IN AND THE G-FORCE PUSHES YOU BACK INTO THE SEAT. *TR

I CAN FEEL A "POPPING" IN MY HANDS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL ONE OR TWO DEGREES LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STANDING AT A LIGHT (FOOT ON BRAKE), IN PARK, MOVING LESS THAN 10MPH, AND EVEN WITH THE CAR OFF. THE POPPING CAN ALSO BE FELT BELOW THE STALKS ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING SOUND OR "CLICK" THAT IS MOST EASILY HEARD WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS "CATCHING SOMETHING" IN THE FIRST 1 OR TWO DEGREES OF MOVEMENT BEFORE THE WHEELS TURN. THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER ABOUT 4,400 MILES, IN JANUARY OF 2020. I HAVE THREE VIDEOS OF THE ISSUE SO FAR. HYUNDAI GENESIS REFUSE TO FIX IT, AS THEIR TECHS CANNOT DIAGNOSE WHAT IS CAUSING THE POPPING FEELING AND NOISE.
