I am reporting a potentially serious transmission safety issue involving my 2022 Genesis GV70 2.5T AWD. While traveling on [XXX] through [XXX]âs Grapevine, my vehicle unexpectedly jerked and appeared to slip out of gear. Engine RPMs increased to approximately 3,500â4,000 without corresponding acceleration and remained unusually high, including while driving on level ground. No warning lights or error messages appeared. The symptoms recurred after restarting the vehicle. The vehicle subsequently experienced complete loss of propulsion and would no longer move in Drive or Reverse, despite the engine revving. Genesis Santa Monica confirmed the no-movement condition. According to repair…

VIN # [XXX] - My tracking number assigned by NHTSA is11755682. Today, [XXX], I received a voicemail from Vanessa at GMA Case Management, nationalca@genesismotorsusa.com, Re: Case #[XXX], stating that she would be resolving my case.

Yet I receive a message about resolving the very case I was encouraged to…

While operating my 2022 Genesis GV70 2.5T Advanced, the vehicle experienced a sudden, catastrophic structural failure of the Front Right Strut Mount / Upper Insulator Assembly (OEM Part Number: 54611AR000). Under normal driving conditions, the structural aluminum alloy casting of the upper strut mount completely fractured and sheared apart. This structural metal failure allowed the highly pressurized front suspension strut shaft to completely blow through the mount assembly. The unleashed strut shot upward into the engine bay, shattering the protective plastic cowl shroud, striking the underside of the vehicle's hood, and causing significant secondary body and mechanical damage. This is an…

My 2022 Genesis G70 has experienced repeated turbocharger and exhaust-system problems. In August and September 2025, the vehicle was serviced for exhaust/turbo-related gaskets and clamps and a misfire condition. It later developed knocking, sluggish acceleration, and additional turbo problems. The dealer replaced the turbo wastegate in February 2026, and additional turbocharger repairs were subsequently required. On July 28, 2026, an exhaust leak near the turbocharger was diagnosed. While operating the vehicle, I experienced headaches, dizziness, chest discomfort, and irritation of my eyes and nose. I was concerned that exhaust fumes could enter the passenger compartment and impair my…

The vehicle experiences a dangerous 2-3 second 'dead pedal' delay during acceleration on hot restarts. When flooring the pedal to the floorboards, the vehicle fails to respond; it moves slowly. This was reported to Denville NJ Dealership on 8/27/26: dealer stated they test drove it could not replicate, and there were no stored codes. This was reported to Denville NJ Dealership and 4/2/26 and dealership reported they "believed" to be due to TCM communication error. This was reported by previous owner on 4/26/24 to Englewood, NJ Dealership and they could not duplicate.

Subject: Vehicle Safety Incident Report â Fuel Pump Disconnection and Oil Leak To: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Date: July 27, 2026 I am submitting this report to detail a recent vehicle malfunction that posed significant risks to my safety and that of others on the road.

This loss of acceleration and responsiveness created substantial control problems, making it difficult to maneuver safely in traffic. Notably, no dashboard warning lights were illuminated at the time, which gave me the false impression that the vehicle was operating correctly.…
