Crashed into my garage wall at slow speeds. I pulled into the garage riding the break pedal (no acceleration/gas) and when I attempted to come to a complete stop the breaks seemed to give out completely. Even as I shoved the break pedal to the floor it seemed to do nothing. When it happened, I did feel a bit of a rumble on the break pedal like when ABS turns on.

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 c

On 8/8/2020 I drove my Genesis g70 sport into my home garage doors and center support between the two doors. It was slow speed. I watched as my car continued forward with my foot hard on the brake with no braking action at all. It was a 100% brake failure. I have never put any vehicle into any other vehicle or any structure in my 55 years of driving. I hold a cdl. I was certified by the national institute for automotive service excellence in automotive braking systems in 1976. I was selling bmws in the mid 80s when bosch developed ABS. I was selling acuras in 1987 when Honda made a lame attempt at their own proprietary anti-lock braking system. I knew the first time I tested it that it was subpar. Auto magazines confirmed this in their tests. I understand cars. I have no agenda

On numerous occasions, while driving with the adaptive cruise control on, at highway speeds, and no other vehicles near me, the system emits several beeps, shows that I'm close to a vehicle ahead of me (there isn't one), and initiates hard braking for maybe a couple of seconds. It is VERY disconcerting, and I haven't been able to find a common denominator for this issue, except that it seems to only happen during daylight hours, on sunny days. Should this happen while another car is following me, this could certainly cause an accident.

I called the 2 dealers, Genesis of Southfield and Genesis of Dearborn to set an appointment to address the vehicles recalls. Genesis of Southfield stated they are unable to address the recall until next year. I called Genesis of Dearborn multiple times and when trying to make an appointment, either I am put in hold or hung up on. I have left multiple voicemails, and they still have not called me back. I called Genesis corporate to address the issue and they said they cannot get the dealers to perform the recall sooner then next year as well.

Dealership refuses to make repair to fuel pump under recall and emailed me as follows: Cause of failure is the fuel pressure regulator in the high pressure fuel pump, the vehicle is setting DTC P0091, the vehicle does have an open campaign for inspection of DTC P0088 and if the vehicle does have P0088 it calls for replacement of the high pressure fuel pump. However since the vehicle is not setting DTC P0088 I cannot warranty under campaign 24-01-076G

- The shifter inhibitor switch (also known as gear position sensor or range sensor) malfunctioned, triggering a check engine light and causing a warning message on the dashboard indicating “Shifter Malfunction.” Yes, the component is still installed and available for inspection upon request. - The malfunction may cause the vehicle to fail to recognize or shift properly between gears, increasing the risk of sudden loss of drive, inability to shift out of park, or unexpected behavior during driving or parking. This creates a potential safety hazard, especially in traffic or on inclines. - Yes, the issue was diagnosed and confirmed by a Genesis dealership, which recommended replacing the shifter inhibitor switch to resolve the problem. - No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufa

However, the oil pressure light seems to flash on and off when it wants too. After doing an oil change every 3,500k miles, it started to turn on recently. I’ve checked the oil and everything seems to be fine. I’ve seen multiple forums with others having the same defect and since the car is made in Korea, Korea has a recall for the same exact issue.Some people are being turned away from shops because of the location of oil pressure sensor but also cracking the aluminum the sensor sits in or in some the timing cover. Although the sensor only turns off when the car is higher rpm’s and driving, it’s still annoying to deal with when it’s a common defect with genesis but yet not a recall.

Since it was new, my 2019 Genesis G70 Twin Turbo with AWD has had occasional long hesitation (it happens every couple of days) when I step on the gas, lasting anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds. It happens from a stop, and also at times when the car is going 5-10 mph. The motor has been fully warmed up when this happens. When you step on the gas, the motor is still running but there is no response, no increase in engine rpm, then after a hesitation of up to 10 seconds, it kicks in with a sudden surge of speed. No warning lights come on. Needless to say, this is very dangerous when attempting to pull out into highway traffic, or simply maneuvering around in parking lots or normal traffic conditions. The danger is not just the failure to move, but also the sudden unpredictable lurch forward when

When driving the vehicle it feels as though as it stalls due to choking all or some of the fuel getting to the engine. This is most prone when accelerating fast. It feels as though the fuel is shut off or severely diminished as the vehicle will accelerate, but at a fraction (crawl) of the normal output available and accomplished in the past.

Genesis issued safety recall for all 2019 G70’s because the starter solenoid could be contaminated with water resulting in a potential risk for an engine compartment fire ( letter received from Genesis Motor America LLC. 8-1-24 ). Currently the solenoid replacement part for Genesis recall # 018G is not available @ any US dealerships; thus, requiring placing an order for said part. This represents a profound lack of timely customer service and is an ongoing problem with Genesis parts supply chain.

Engine stalled when stopped at a traffic light. There was heavy traffic in front and to the rear of my vehicle. I was in the far right lane. It was 102 degrees outside. I was able to restart the vehicle about two minutes after the initial stall. I was then able to drive the vehicle to my home where it was then towed to the nearest Genesis dealer. No warning lights. Dealer stated no error codes were found and they could not duplicate the problem. After pushing for a solution they stated they will replace the fuel pump. Seems to be an ongoing, extremely dangerous problem with Genesis owners vehicles.

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.
