40I had noticed my GV70 had not been functioning correctly for about 3 weeks prior to scheduled maintenance due. The vehicle has become slow and sluggish accelerating. Was concerning as I had pulled out in traffic not expecting limited acceleration. NO check engine or warning signs displayed. I traveled from Midland, TX to Genesis of Grapevine for scheduled maintenance to be performed. Later that day was informed that my radiator had been crack. Due to road debris and my extended warranty would not cover it most likely. Of course road damage would have had caused this as my expensive vehicle has never been off road. After researching Genesis Forum I have learned that this is a structural defect that has been corrected on later models. So Genesis has obviously taken corrective measures to prevent this from happening on newer year models. This is something that should have been corrected with a recall. Now it is being deemed as road damage. Please look into this.
The headlight assemblies, both headlights, (headlamp housing) failed due to structural factory stress fracturing. The polycarbonate outer lens has developed clean, horizontal hairline cracks originating directly from the sealed lower edge where the housing meets the internal bumper brackets. This structural failure has breached the factory seal, causing severe water pooling inside the light assembly. Yes, the vehicle and the failing component are available for inspection upon request. The severe water accumulation inside the headlamp assembly poses an immediate night-driving safety hazard. Moisture intrusion directly exposes critical electrical connections and LED components to pooling water, risking a sudden, catastrophic short-circuit and total headlight failure while driving at night. This would instantly compromise forward visibility and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming traffic. Yes. The physical water accumulation and the structural hairline cracks were confirmed during a physical inspection at an authorized Genesis dealership service center. The dealership confirmed the presence of the moisture breach but attributed the damage to external influence, despite a total lack of any external impact marks. Yes, it has been inspected by the manufacturer. Visual photographic evidence of the failing headlamp component was formally escalated to Genesis Corporate Customer Care (Case #43274801). The corporate case manager conducted a digital review of the component and subsequently sided with the local dealership's denial of warranty coverage. There were no dashboard warning lights or prior to the failure. The first physical symptom appeared (cracks) appeared recently, but condensation was present at purchased. Upon closer inspection of the pooling water, the clean horizontal stress fractures along the bumper seam became visible.
While driving on the expressway during rush-hour traffic, multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard and several error messages appeared. At the same time, the vehicle began repeatedly jerking while I was traveling at low speed in heavy traffic. I continued driving for approximately 10 seconds, but the jerking continued. Because of the unusual vehicle behavior and the warning messages, I pulled over to the side of the road. After stopping, I attempted to shift the transmission into Park, but the vehicle would not allow me to change the gear. I turned the engine off and restarted the vehicle, but I was still unable to shift the vehicle into Drive. I attempted this three times. On the third attempt, the vehicle finally allowed me to shift into Drive, but the check engine light remained illuminated. I subsequently took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. The dealership stated that they updated the vehicle's software and reset the error codes. I am reporting this incident because the vehicle unexpectedly began jerking in heavy traffic, displayed multiple warning/error messages, and temporarily prevented me from changing the transmission gear. The inability to shift the vehicle normally and the sudden jerking created a potentially dangerous situation while driving on the expressway.
My AC in my 2023 GV 70 stopped working. Apparently this is a known defect but I was never notified. Im currently in NC, 3 hours from my home in [XXX] where the heat index is 110 degrees. Now i have to drive home to get service without AC. I reached out to the dealer four times today including the service manager, service coordinator and Anthony the GM but no one has returned my call. I called Genesis customer service and their response was “sorry no appointments until late next week and we have no loaners until late September”. Clearly, no one at Genesis at the dealer level or corporate cares enough to help me solve this problem so I am forced to find an independent mechanic who can work on my vehicle and rent my own car until it’s repaired. This is completely unacceptable especially for a luxury vehicle. First, not being notified of a problem Genesis has known about for a long time so i could repair it before it’s become a calamity (where i am now). Second, no one cares enough to help me solve their defective parts problem! I expect Genesis to pay for both the repairs and my rental plus any additional out of pocket expenses.

CORRECTION TO NHTSA COMPLAINT 11754243 (8/2/2026). That complaint was submitted late at night with assistance; several fields were entered wrong and the electrical failure history was omitted. Apologies for the error. Please associate this with XXX. CORRECTIONS: Vehicles towed - YES, TWO, not "No"; my Genesis is still at the dealer it was towed to in [XXX]. Injured - THREE, not 1. Police report - YES, not "No". Mileage about 23,500. Speed at T0 per the EDR - 23 km/h, about 14 mph. OMITTED AND MATERIAL: Before this crash the vehicle STARTED ITSELF TWICE WITH NO HUMAN COMMAND - no key press, no remote start, nobody in it. Separately the entire system went completely black, causing TOTAL ECU AND ECM FAILURE. The vehicle lost electrical integrity. WHY THAT MATTERS: Genesis Service Campaign 914G is "ECM Update - P030X Misfire"; its remedy is "Update the ECM (Engine Control Module) software." It covers 2022-2023MY GV70 (JK1) built 3/29/2021-3/4/2025, VIN starting KMU. My VIN is [XXX], a 2023 GV70. Owner notice was due September 2025. The campaign was still open and unremedied when the car crashed 12/3/2025. THE EVENT: Exiting a highway at low speed with no impact, collision or obstacle of any kind, the airbags deployed spontaneously. The deployment caused loss of control and a three-vehicle collision. The deployment caused the crash. No warning lamp or symptom preceded it. FAULT HISTORY: B139500 cross coupling (SRS firing-loop interconnection fault), B1650 (airbag control unit fault history), and multiple LOW VOLTAGE codes. An electrical system that starts an engine uncommanded and blacks out an ECU can fire a restraint with no crash. EDR: The report states the EDR is part of the Air Bag Control Unit and that if ACU power is lost during an event, all or part of the data may not be recorded. Manufacturer closed its claim with no repair or explanation. Vehicle and ACU remain available; no dealer diagnostic was done on the ACU.

While exiting a highway at normal speed and with no impact, collision, or obstacle of any kind, the airbags in this 2023 Genesis GV70 deployed spontaneously. The unexpected deployment caused me to lose control of the vehicle, and a three-car collision followed. I sustained a head injury and aggravation of a pre-existing traumatic brain injury; I remain under medical care. There was no crash before the deployment - the deployment caused the crash. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appeared before the failure. The vehicle was reported to the manufacturer, which opened a claim and later closed it without repair or explanation; a second manufacturer case review is open. I have demanded preservation of all vehicle data, including event data recorder and telematics records, and independent inspection was arranged. The vehicle and the airbag control unit remain available for inspection on request. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer, and to my knowledge no dealer diagnostic has been performed on the airbag control module.
The contact owns a 2023 Genesis GV70. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V229000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was not made aware of the issue. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Left front headlight accumulates significant amount of water that worsens with rain events. Places water in proximity with LED lamps and wiring creating risk of electrical shorts and lamp failure. This is known issue addressed by a Genesis TSB, but no recall has been initiated despite safety concerns,
The contact owns a 2023 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the windshield had cracked at the bottom without impact. The contact stated that the crack had progressively expanded. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.
Excessive amount of moisture inside my headlight. Affects how bright my headlight is at night and is now prone to failure. Dealership has documentation of the issue and is making it very difficult to replace.
The contact owns a 2023 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that while driving approximately 80 MPH on a toll road, the vehicle suddenly stalled and stopped on the on-ramp. The contact pressed the accelerator pedal and the drove forward and operated as normal. The cause of the temperary failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 13,000.
The contact owns a 2023 Genesis GV70 equipped with Michelin Tires, Tire Line: Primacy Tour, Tire Size: 255/40/R21, DOT Number: (N/A). While driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle started violently swerving from right to left, nearly causing a crash into a concrete median. The driver was able to regain control of the vehicle and safely drove to the residence. A tow truck driver was called to the residence and discovered that the rear driver’s side tire had extensive tread separation. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who determined that the rear driver’s side strut, brake line, fuel filler neck, inner fender, parking brake wiring harness, and rear driver’s side brake line were damaged during the failure and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,900.
My car exhibited a random loss of power which led to dangerous driving conditions. At times, when I wanted to accelerate to pass a vehicle on a two lane highway, I would enter the left lane to pass a vehicle and had zero acceleration which left me in a vulnerable position relative to oncoming traffic. Other times, the vehicle would not accelerate from a stop, rev to high RPMs and not shift out of 3rd gear without manual intervention. Another time, I was accelerating to make a lane change and the vehicle lagged, nearly causing a rear end collision by the vehicle behind me. There were no warning indications whatsoever on the dash, but I my OBD-II code reader indicated "P26CB00". When I researched this, I took my car into the dealer. The were able to replicate the problem and informed me that my vehicle had a punctured intercooler radiator which was caused by a road hazard and therefore would not be covered under warranty. After my inspection, I noticed a design flaw in the lower portion of the grill which allowed objects to impact the lower radiator without any protection whatsoever. Apparently, this leak caused my car's turbo system to not engage which is why there was a random loss of power. The repair of the radiator and water pump (which they said had failed because it ran dry) was over $2500. The dealer told me that they had had another Genesis GV70 with the same issue the prior week but that all cars have some unresolved problem or another. Based on my experience, this was a serious safety issue and so I also reached out to Genesis Corporate on 2/12/26 and they assigned it case #42240745. I have not heard back from them as of yet. Several people have posted about the issue on GV70 internet forums: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The forward collision warning comes on and the car completely stops. We are traveling and it happened twice on busy hwy. We were not hit but came perilously close both times. We took our car in for service and asked that they disconnect this because we have had the problem before. They said they did. It has find for about 2 months and now is starting again even though it’s supposedly disconnected. There is no warning before this happens.
I was driving down highway, no cars nearby. Heard a loud pop. Found a crack in the lower left portion of the windshield. No chip or rough spot outside or inside of window.
The windshield cracks and chips very easily. Long crack lines develop after windshield obtains a small chip from a small rock. This is the third windshield replacement in a year’s time. Windshield is too thin and could create a dangerous situation. Reported to my auto insurance company. Other Genesis GV 70 owners have reported similar problems
Dear NHTSA Safety Team, I am writing to report a potential safety-related defect involving my vehicle and to request confirmation that this concern is properly documented. I own a 2023 Genesis GV70. The interior door panel material on both front doors is peeling and delaminating under normal use. The material separation exposes loose and sharp edges on the door panels, creating a potential risk of cuts or injury to vehicle occupants and interfering with normal use of the door area. The condition appeared prematurely and has worsened over time. The dealership inspected and documented the issue but declined repair. No crash or injury has occurred, but I am concerned about the ongoing safety risk. Please advise if any additional information or documentation is needed. I have photographs available upon request. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Driving the car on 2 separate occasions in last 3 weeks when car suddenly stopped when driving and vehicle forward collision warning-braking light went on and car stopped in middle of the road and could not drive forward .The first time it lasted several minutes and then I was able to drive. Notified dealer and told it would be doubtful it could be duplicated and wash the car. The second occasion we were in the interstate highway when it suddenly stopped and forward vehicle collision warning-braking light came on.This was extremely dangerous situation being in middle lane of interstate and inching over to shoulder only with help from a car in right lane . Could not drive 3-5 feet and car would stop. Had to work way to shoulder of highway from middle lane. Called dealer for help and no return call. Went into driver's Manuel and disabled the forward collision warning system. (later told I would need to do this every time I drove)--- Dealer then evaluated and said a rock " may have hit the radar thru the grill and bent it". ( yet there was no signs of damage on grill or elsewhere)--asked to have it covered on warranty and denied , later being told that there was signs of " stress crack in lower front bumper that may have caused this. Overall unacceptable explanation and it appears to be happening to other GV70's when looking on social medial .. Was told it would cost about $2,500 to replace and not covered in warranty . This was a very dangerous occurrence while driving on the highway and could have resulted in a serious accident with nothing to warn that is might occur ( it was sudden and severe braking)
On two separate occasions over a 6 month span the emergency braking system engaged while entering an underground parking garage. There were no vehicles in front or behind. The vehicle immediately engaged the brakes forced the vehicle to stop. Fortunately there were no injuries. I have opened a case with the manufacturer. I have read on blogs that others have experienced similar ghost braking issues. In their case the manufacturer and service technician claimed since nothing was recorded by the vehicle, there was nothing to be done. It is unacceptable for there to be no record of the emergency braking system engaging. Out is a core life safety protection. This issue should be investigated by the NHTSA to force the company to reevaluate the safety of their products.
Airbags did not deploy, vehicle was declared a total loss.
Large crack in windshield and also the side lite window without any impact from stone or road
While driving on [XXX] from Houston to the San Antonio area, I heard a loud pop and a crack appeared on my top drivers side windshield. I was not behind any trucks or close behind any cars as traffic was light. There was no lose gravel and I did not hear or see a rock or other incoming object. The crack immediately spread to more than 6 inches, and over 12 inches by the time I arrived at my destination. There was/is no small starburst from which the crack spread as is usual when rock or pebble hits a windshield. It appears as if the windshield just split. I have gone online and found many similar complaints for this model car, some having to replace windshields multiple times over a short period, both with OEM and after market windshields, with the dealership replacements and third parties like Safelite. I think this is a design issue causing stress breaks. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The braking system of my 2023 Genesis GV70 has exhibited recurring failures, specifically the brake pedal and the ABS module. Since February 2025, the vehicle had ongoing brake pedal issues that required approximately 30 days of repair, during which the ABS module was replaced on April 24, 2025. The vehicle remains available for inspection in its current “as-is” condition as per manufacturer instructions until the Event Data Recorder (EDR) data is retrieved. On May 4, 2025—just 10 days after the ABS module replacement—the vehicle was involved in an accident. The unresolved braking issues likely contributed to the crash, directly endangering driver safety and that of others on the road. The dealer addressed the brake pedal and ABS issues during repairs, but no definitive resolution or independent confirmation has been made regarding the root cause. The problem persists as a potential safety hazard. The vehicle has been inspected by Progressive Insurance representatives. Initially, Genesis verbally approved my insurer’s certified third-party expert to retrieve the EDR data. However, Genesis reversed this approval and now insists that only their internal vendor may access the data, which could take 6–8 weeks—delaying independent investigation and resolution. This restrictive approach obstructs transparency and raises concerns about the integrity of the investigation. It has been three weeks since the accident and Genesis has yet to take steps to have the vehicle inspected or scheduled inspection. The police were involved at the time of the accident. Warning signs related to the brake pedal and ABS system appeared from February 2025, prompting the repair period and ABS module replacement. No new warnings appeared immediately before the accident, but the ongoing brake system issues clearly signaled a safety concern. Genesis has made no progress or scheduling effort, deliberately delaying while blocking my insurer from hiring a third party for timely investigation.
Genesis uses soy-based wiring in the engine without any rodent protection. We had rats chewing the wires in the engine last year in April, for $6.9k repair cost and again this year in February for $7.4k in repair cost. This car cost way too much to own, the repairs take about 5 to 6 weeks to complete, and most importantly this cat is a major safety concern to me and my family.
Several times now, my Genesis GV70 will make a strange sound on startup. The auto stop light will illuminate and I can't turn it off. The car will have no power to accelerate. I have to turn the car off and back on again for the problem to resolve.
I am reporting a recurring issue with my 2023 Genesis GV70 2.5 Prestige. The vehicle consistently shudders and shakes when driving between 40-45 mph under normal conditions—whether accelerating, cruising, or maintaining speed on various roads. This noticeable shuddering affects ride smoothness and is concerning. I brought this problem to the Genesis maintenance department at my local dealership. They inspected the vehicle but claimed no issue was detected. Despite their assurances, the shuddering persists every time I drive within that speed range. No repairs were attempted; I was told the vehicle was operating as expected. Researching online, I found numerous other owners experiencing the same issue. Forums, including Reddit discussions, are filled with accounts from frustrated owners. Many report that even after having their differentials repaired or replaced multiple times, the issue continues, suggesting a design or manufacturing flaw not being addressed. I am deeply concerned about the safety implications of this persistent shuddering. It affects vehicle handling and stability at common speeds, potentially leading to loss of control. The unpredictability leaves me anxious while driving, fearing a mechanical failure or accident. I do not want to be stranded due to this unresolved problem. This issue has significantly diminished my confidence in the vehicle and the brand. The stress and inconvenience are substantial, disrupting my routine and peace of mind. The inaction and lack of acknowledgment from Genesis add to my frustration. I am requesting a thorough investigation into this matter. The prevalence among other owners indicates a systemic problem needing prompt attention. I urge the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to investigate these complaints to ensure Genesis resolves this defect and safeguards its customers. I hope that by reporting this problem, steps will be taken to prevent potential safety hazards for myself and other owners.
I purchased this vehicle brand new in July 2023. By Jan 2024, it was already having major issues. The 2 major issues with this vehicle are 1) it had an engine misfire ( thus engine and fuel system issues) that cut the power to the vehicle and made it dangerous to drive and thus had to be in at the Genesis dealer service center 3 times (Jan, April and May 2024). The 2nd problem is electrical. On Oct 1st, 2024 the brake lights wouldn't turn off at all despite several troubleshooting attempts. That electrical problem drained the battery and after the car was jump started, after I started to drive, then the car cold died in the middle of the road. I had my 10 day old newborn in the car and I had to get out and stop cars that were driving towards me. Attached is the repair invoice for the engine misfire earlier this year and the car is currently at the repair facility for the electrical problem so no invoice has been generated yet.
The adaptive cruise control started pacing off vehicles in the right lane instead straight ahead. Then the vehicle's forward collision emergency brake system started engaging with no vehicles infront causing the vehicle to panic stop on its own for no reason. This panic stop could cause an accident, personal injury or death.
I had just started the car and driven less than half a mile in a 35 MPH zone when the acceleration gave out. Vehicle would not go over 20 MPH, engine did not rev up when gas pedal depressed. I came to red light and stopped, turned off the car and turned it back on and issue seemed to clear. I google and have learned this model and year are being recalled for this issue and fuel pumps replaced, but my VIN does not show up as under the recall. I'm now afraid to drive my car.
The contact owns a 2023 Genesis GV70. The contact stated while the dealer was servicing the vehicle, the contact was informed that there was a hole in the turbo cooler and that the turbo cooler was leaking. The dealer informed the contact that the failure was caused by a rock that was able to pass through the front grill because the front grill holes were large. The contact was awaiting an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 14,500. The VIN was unavailable.
I was sitting at a stop light waiting to make a right turn. When I pressed down on the accelerator the car just inched forward. I let off the gas and pushed the accelerator again and again before the car would accelerate. This has happened several times, once almost causing me to wreck. This has happened since the first month I purchased the vehicle. I have had it for a year
Was driving on the highway at 70 mph. Oil light came on, noticed it without any loss of power. Within the next mile the cars rpms started to increase very quickly with little pressure being applied to accelerator and power loss started to begin. As I tried to get over and get to the next exit the car completely shut off in the middle of the road with little to no warning or time to react. Very dangerous. Thankfully was still able to steer and brake. I called help and had the state trooper blocking me on the road until the tow truck arrived. Massive puddle of oil & fluid on the ground under car.
[XXX] At approximately [XXX] pm, while driving to Dallas, Texas, the car bucked numerous times while attempting to pass another car at approximately 65 mph. The GV70 then started to deaccelerate. The speed dropped to around 50 mph. I continued to press the accelerator, but the car would not accelerate but the engine was revving (RPM hit around 5000) and then dropped back down. I continued driving with the speed varying between 45 and 55 mph even with the accelerator floored. As I got closer to Dallas, I could get the speed up to 60 - 65 mph with the accelerator floored but then on any incline, the speed would drop back to 45 - 50 mph. I had to turn the hazards on several times as the speed was well below the other vehicles. There were no warning lights. I was able to get the GV70 into a dealer the next morning who kept the car for 2 days. They ran diagnostics and drove the GV70 but could not replicate the problem nor did the diagnostics sow anything. They thought that maybe the car reset when it was turned off. Issue has occurred multiple times since initial occurrence. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I purchased a new 2023 Genesis GV70 on [XXX] from the Genesis Janesville dealership. Within 3 months of driving the car, and less than 5,000 miles on the car, the breaks started to squeak. After approximately 8,000 miles, the all audio in the car malfunctioned and has not worked properly since. Additionally, I was driving on the interstate and the E brake engaged automatically (without engaging myself) and the car immediately deaccelerated from 75 miles to 35 miles within 3 seconds. Fortunately, it was early in the morning and there was no traffic, but if there was, it would certainly be life threatening. I immediately scheduled an appointment with Genesis dealership after the incident in Waukesha and dropped it off with their service team on [XXX]. The service manager (Derek) called me after dropping the vehicle off and noted that the emergency brake also malfunctioned when he was taking the car to the technicians. The service team indicated on [XXX] that they still have not found a solution to the audio issue. They also said they simply reset the car and after a 25 mile test drive the emergency brake did not go off and therefore the car should be safe to drive. Given the car has less than 10,000 miles and is already experiencing several issues, I strongly caution anyone from buying this vehicle.

We were driving up a mountain pass in a great deal of stop and go traffic. The engine died and a check engine light came on. It was difficult to get the engine started, but it did start. We called the genesis service line and they said that it was a warning and ok to drive but to take it into be looked at. We proceeded up the mountain pass slowly, but when we were out of traffic and needed to give the engine gas to accelerate up the hills, the engine would not speed up. We were driving on interstates where we could only go 25 mph up the hill when others were speeding by us driving 60+ mph so we had to drive with our hazards in the right lane and hope not to get hit. When going down the hills, the engine would speed up, but any hills meant the speed would decrease even when you were engaging the gas. According the warnings we receive via Genesis in my app, the problem was Diagnostic code P0087F0 and said it was powertrain and the subsystem was EMS. We took the vehicle into the dealer and they were unable to recreate the problem. They reset the computer to the manufacturer reset. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This should not be happening on a 2023 car with 5000 miles on it.
I purchased this vehicle on February 27, 2023 from Genesis Johnson of Cary. When driving the vehicle away from the dealership (less than 200 miles) between 2/27/23 and 3/4/23, I started smelling a foul odor that smelled like fumes, burning, stale water. I contacted the dealership regarding these issues. I purchased an extended warranty. I was told that they could not help me. I read my contract that stated I could take the vehicle to any authorized dealership. During the time I drove the vehicle, there was massive amounts of rain. I told my sales person (Jim) that I thought something was terrible wrong. I am a person with multiple disabilities and am diagnosed with De quervain's disease, peripheral neuropathy, costochondritis, anemia, asthma, chronic rhinitis, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, depression and ganglion cysts. I requested an accommodation regarding sterilizing/ replacing the cabin filters. The dealership refused. To date, I do not know where the vehicle is located. The owner of the dealership where I purchased it (Carl Johnson) was notified. He harassed / retaliated while I was being medically treated in Louisiana, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia. To date, they still have my down payment, and have taken the vehicle and will not tell me where it is. Their attorney, Lee C. Hodge, also bullied / harassed /retaliated against me and threatened me with fees. Genesis Johnson of Cary refuses to refund my down payment of over six thousand dollars. My medical bills are substantial. The attorney for the dealership (Lee C. Hodge) continues to refuse to provide documentation regarding why his customers refused to honor the warranty I purchased and service the vehicle. My skin, lungs, hands, fingers, legs, arms have been severely damaged because of this vehicle. The same day I took the vehicle for service, I literally was standing at the service desk taking medication to help me breathe. The service director, Lemar, at Capital Hyundai also threatened me.
While crossing through an intersection, the vehicle began to shutter and would not accelerate. I had just enough power to turn into a store parking lot where the vehicle lost all power, illuminated the battery warning light, and would not restart. After 30-45 minutes, the vehicle was able to start again using a jump box. I began a test drive around the parking lot and the vehicle shuttered again and lost all power while in the middle of the parking lot. At no point were we able to start the vehicle again however the battery continued to power the lights. Vehicle was towed to a nearby dealer. Prior to this there were a few instances where the vehicle either failed to start or failed to turn off after first pressing the Start/Stop button but I dismissed those as outliers since it would start up at the next activation. My vehicle lost power in the middle of a non-busy intersection and a quiet parking lot however this could've happened on a highway. Problem was confirmed by the nearby dealership Vehicle component has only been inspected by dealer No prior warning lights or messages other than what was mentioned.
No warning lights when there was a crack in the lower radiator causing loss of all coolant. Went into limp mode with no warning lights on the dash. Caused a near rear ender when in limp mode unbeknownst to driver.
Engine, transmission/propulsion and or fuel system is impacted. Vehicle loses power and pressing the throttle doesn’t increase the engine rpms and or vehicle speed. It happens randomly at both city and highway driving speeds. It’s almost like the gears aren’t shifting or the vehicle doesn’t increase the speed. Sometimes a it would work fine after a key cycle. I’ve had a few instances of it and there’s no check engine light. I took a video of it from last night when it happened. It’s a big safety risk trying to pass other cars. On the freeway when it happens the vehicle doesn’t cross 60mph hour. It’s very delayed, and then if I cycle the throttle or change gears or downshift manually it’s jump 2000-3000 rpms and would still struggle to get past 80mph. I bought my vehicle in MI, noticed these issues on my current trip to FL. I intend to have a MI dealer diagnose it. Seems difficult without a check engine light or DTC.
The car loses power and stalls at cruising speed. Stalls on red lights. Dealership changing fuel pump. its risky i was almost hit twice as the car stalled
