At the shop, Genesis electrical-system issues have a recognizable signature. 146 documented complaints across 16 year-model entries from 2017 to 2025 is consistent with what we see come in. 2023 Genesis GV60 tops the list, but the pattern repeats across years. Multiple generations are affected. 6 crash reports on file. Not a high count, but the failure mode has put owners in the position to file. Average shop fix runs about $850 — not catastrophic, but it adds up over time. Read the specific complaints before assuming the worst — the category covers everything from a forty-dollar switch to a twenty-five-hundred-dollar module.
