2024 Genesis GV80

My car was originally parked outside the garage. I started the vehicle using the key fob. I began to press the remote smart parking assist button to back the car into the garage but the button was not working correctly and would not move the car. At that point, I went into the car and reversed it manually into the garage. I placed the car in “park” and exited the vehicle to check the position of the car. The position was off so I got back in the car and proceeded to move the car forward a couple of feet. I pressed the “park” button and exited the vehicle. The vehicle started to inch forward and I reached into the car to attempt to stop the vehicle from its forward travel. At that point, I was wedged between the driver’s side door and the b pillar as the car began to use the middle portion of the split garage to compress me across my abdomen, hips, and legs.

Windshield cracks- I got two windshield cracks from a very small rocks, going at very low speeds. The glass does NOT seem thick/resistant enough. the two crack occurred on the SEPARATE occasions. There are multiple complains about his known issue with GV80 and other Genesis vehicles. After getting a small chip, it quickly develops into a crack as the glass is not holding as it should.

In March 2026, I was driving on the freeway when the car shut itself off and put itself into neutral and accessory modes. There was no warning. This put the safety of myself and other drivers on the road at serious risk because I was unable to accelerate or adequately control my vehicle without warning. The dealer says the car "is operating as designed."

I have a concern with the power folding rear seats to increase the cargo space. It doesn't stopped if you are sitting in the seat and pushed the button. I tested it myself. This to me is very alarming and Genesis need to fix it or someone will get hurt or killed like the Hyundai Palisades case. A child shouldn't have to lose their life for Hyundai to fix a known issue. I really hope Genesis will follow suit and fix the problem before anyone else get hurt.

Incident

Mar 18, 2026

My 2024 GV80 with approximately 15k miles started completely powering off while driving multiple times and the vehicle started itself while in my enclosed garage space with no one in the vehicle, no button/brake pressed, not key fob pressed. I turned this into the dealership for manufacturer repair on 9/13/25 and as of today, 2/5/26, I still do not have my car back. The dealership explains there is an intermittent parasitic draw that they have been unable to identify. The battery drain, they claim, resulted in the car stopping by itself and starting by itself. The company has refused buyback under Lemon Law (not covering CPO), letters to the CEO have gone unanswered, multiple claims with Genesis corporate have resulted in no help and the local dealership is horrendous- no response, having the vehicle 5 months, no timeline.

I drive Genesis GV 80 vehicle made in Korea. The information screen on my car keeps displaying very distracting message about SiriusXm radio free music in what are so-called pop-up advertisements that keep showing up randomly while I’m driving distracting me from paying attention to other cars and traffic in general ! I find this quite dangerous and want something done about stopping these ad’s from being displayed while I am driving as they may cause me to have an accident. This sort of intrusion should not be happening in the cars we drive here in America someone’s going to cause an accident because they were reading these ads and not watching the road. Thank you for your attention in this matter [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.
