2023 Genesis GV70 Electrified

This was a certified (CPO) car purchased in April and on the first highway drive the front engine under cover (aka skid plate) came loose and rendered the car inoperable as it was violently flapping under the car and in danger of coming loose which would have caused significant road debris but also had the potential of destabilizing the car. On the road shoulder, I could see this large body piece was only held by 2 of the four fasteners and was also torn. The car is with the dealership of Genesis of Virginia Beach to have the part replaced after having the car towed there. The car just went through a 191 point Genesis CPO inspection and had no indications this large body piece would fall off or jeopardize my safety.

ICCU failed leaving me stranded on the side of the road (thankfully not on bridge). This was supposed to have been fixed under a recall the week prior by reprogramming the computer. Genesis has not changed the ICCU so even if/when repaired, it will most likely happen again. The Genesis of Wexford, PA dealer confirmed ICCU and fuse blown. "Stop vehicle and check power supply" warning light came on.

Genesis GV70 Electrified with 15,818 miles. Car suddenly would not accelerate beyond 20 mph and RED Warning on dashboard to immediately pull over and stop car. No prior warning or symptoms. Significant concern for safety of my passenger and myself due to driving much lower than speed limit on road, in wet conditions. Thankfully, I was not on a freeway or major intersection. Called Genesis dealership, and service manager confirmed the defective part is the ICCU, which was already on NHTSA recall and was reprogrammed earlier this year on my car. Same issue occurred, but this time the dealership plans to replace the part. Why was this not replaced the first time if it can go bad? This should be a required replacement, not reprogramming. This is the SECOND major power failure on my car within 1-1/2 yrs of ownership and only 15,818 miles driven. Seems like significant issues on this car, maybe a lemon?

Complete power outage when parking the car, after pressing the power button. Car did not go through shutoff mode. Parking brake was not engaged, so car would roll if foot brake was released. Could not restart vehicle, and no electrical switches worked. Doors would not unlock, rear hatch wouldn't activate. Approximately 30 seconds later power came back on and dash showed red status for approximately 3 seconds. Then dash returned to normal status and car worked fine.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified the presence of substandard and dangerous driver’s-side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. (DTN). These inflators were not supplied, approved, or authorized by the vehicle manufacturers and have primarily been found in vehicles that previously experienced a crash and underwent airbag replacement using non-genuine parts. These dangerous inflators have ruptured during deployment, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to metal fragments entering the vehicle cabin. To date, Hyundai is aware of three people who have died while driving a Hyundai vehicle with one of these substandard replacement airbag inflators that deployed in what likely would have been a survivable crash. NHTSA has issued a public advisory urging vehicle owners and service professionals to have vehicles inspected if there is reason to believe that a non-genuine replacement airbag may have been installed. Vehicles with salvage or rebuilt titles, prior airbag deployments, or unknown repair histories may present a higher risk. NHTSA strongly cautions against self-inspection by vehicle owners and recommends inspection by trained technicians.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued an urgent safety advisory regarding dangerous, counterfeit driver‑side airbag inflators manufactured by Jilin Province Detiannuo Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. (DTN), that have been identified in U.S. vehicles following prior crashes, theft, or non‑certified airbag replacements. These inflators are not approved for use, may rupture during deployment, and have caused serious injuries and fatalities. Please see attached announcement, provided by NHTSA, for more details.
