Engine reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

But it started by my car constantly burning all like a crazy amount and then I sort of having problems with like the air conditioner, not blowing cool because if I would circulate it in the car, it would not be cool and then I started having Coach go off code for my fuel sensor code for my CO2 sensor code for all different sensors every time I take it they would be trying to give me a change sensor and charging me $2000 to do this and charging me $1500 to do that and then then I find out that there is then someone finds a pipe with my turbo that is deteriorating and now they want to change that and it just keeps my motor keeps getting hot you getting excessively hot. I mean I’m going through two or 3 quarts of all a week and my car. I have four Genesis vehicles I have two G7 I have a G 80 and I have a GV 70 and this is the only one I’m having problems with and it is the and I’m very disappointed with the situation now because I feel like it’s just they just want me to keep putting money into this and I’m and now I’m gonna and my car is only four years old. It’s been paid off since I bought it and I’ve had no problems in all of a sudden. It’s like I’m gonna be out $6000 soon and it’s just I don’t understand why what’s going on and then I see that there’s a recall that I’m not part of with my VIN number, but yet every single one of the problems that I’m having is because of that and not to mention, they have me change all the sensors and stuff that I probably didn’t even need to change so I’m very outright right now because they’re trying to charge another $2000 to do this pipe when they done all these other things and they could’ve done the pipe first I feel like they’re just trying to get money out of me to mention now if I drive my car for more than 45 minutes, the engine light comes on and it goes into lag motor just started losing power and I have to pull over and Stop and they add oil and then I can drive again absolutely insane

I experience a lack of power issue when driving the vehicle and attempting to accelerate past 40-60 mph. I will floor the accelerator and the car still stalls and will not accelerate. This has been terrifying when merging onto the highway and realizing this issue is occurring, as it is sporadic and not noticeable on residential/low speed drives. In the videos I've taken, you can see the engine RPM increase to approximately 4k RPM; the gear indicator continues to show "D," indicating the RPM increase was due to a throttle-induced downshift as opposed to shifting with the paddles; and the vehicle speed fails to increase as would be expected at the necessary throttle application for the RPM to be at that level. I have taken my vehicle to to the genesis service dealership at least 5 times for this issue and it is still a recurring issue. Many genesis owners complain about this issue on forums with no resolution from Genesis.

My vehicle is just over two years old and this has happened three times. Every light and warning message on the dash comes on all at once and the vehicle is put into limp mode. Going from 50 miles per hour to a little over 5 miles per hour in just a few seconds. Genesis also doesn't seem to think its an issue considering their dealers have had the car for two months and the only explanation I have been given is, "There is nothing wrong with your car" or "The car is driving great, you can pick it up." I have never felt scared to drive a car in my 10 plus years of driving until I purchased a 2022 Genesis G70.
