The first incident I had occurred approximately three weeks ago. I began accelerating from a stop light when I felt something jerk. My car began to slow down and it would not accelerate. The car would not go over 20 mph per hour. This incident was extremely dangerous as I was on a highway that has a speed limit of 55 mph. I brought the car to the Genesis dealership. They diagnosed it as a bad fuel pump. I got the car back 3 weeks later (today 09/13/2023) and drove it about 10 miles before I experienced a similar issue. I was stopped at a red light when the car began to shake. The car would not accelerate over 15 mph. I brought the car back to the dealership to be looked at again. I will know more when they reopen tomorrow. These incidents are extremely dangerous especially on highways. I am scared to drive this car again for fear it will happen on the interstate or when I am unable to pull over. The replaced fuel pump did not fix the issue.

Three weeks ago while returning to SC from Fl on I95, the engine jolted, stalled momentarily , and would not accelerate to keep up with traffic. I pulled over, turned off the engine, and re-started the engine. It started and sounded normal, as did the car diagnostic screen which showed nothing abnormal. An hour later and engine stalled again ( in traffic) and yet the diagnostic screen continued to show "all normal". Initially I suspected bad gas, but that theory proved wrong when, with a full tank of fresh gas, it stalled and stopped mid-traffic . In all these incidents I was very lucky to not have been hit by distracted driver. The car was towed to my Genesis dealer, and after a perfunctory check they said that using all their diagnostic tools, the car showed ZERO alerts. I refused their answer and insisted that it be test driven by one their staff. After receiving my permission to do so, one poor fellow drove it to his home, but it broke down well before arriving there. At this juncture they finally understood that they had an issue. Here is where it get's interesting, because my tech savvy son surfed several forums such as Reddit, Facebook and Genesis owners site, and discovered many references to fuel pump failures, stalling, near accidents and the like. I don't know how you rate the severity of car safety issues, but I suspect that total engine failure must rate pretty high. All I ask is that you rattle Genesis' cage and ask them how many fuel pump issues/ replacements they have had over the past two years. My hunch is that it is a material percentage. I find it unacceptable that with today's technology, a defect like this which can endanger lives on any road at any speed, is left unchallenged.

On a few occasions when stopped. Upon acceleration this vehicle would sputter or stall. On Aug. 29, 2023, while driving on the interstate and attempting to pass on the left lane. My speed was around 70 MPH. This vehicle would not accelerate and stated to come to a complete stop. I was able to pull off the road and restart this vehicle. If I was in the middle lanes. This vehicle would have caused a bad accident. As I drove home this vehicle stalled twice. Attempting to accelerate at a light at an intersection. This vehicle stalled in the middle of the intersection. I again avoided an accident attempting to accelerate and restart the vehicle. I was able to drive this vehicle to the dealership, Aug. 30. Since the dealership would not return my calls. The manager informed me that it was the fuel pump. He also stated that he had other vehicle with this same problem. All the fuel pumps are on back order. Also, the recall several months ago for the seat belts. Those parts are also on back order. In my judgment this vehicle is unsafe to operate. Until this issue is investigated by the government and approved to be safe fot the road.

As I was driving, my vehicle completely stopped in traffic. All vehicle functions became disabled. Even when putting the car in neutral, it would not budge. Had it not been for construction workers helping me, I could have been killed due to the heavy traffic flow.

The fuel pump failed in the car, it is a known problem by the dealer and there were no warnings prior to failure. The dealer verifies it was the pump and it is currently on backorder. The car broke down in the middle of a major intersection in 100 degree weather with our 1 and 2 year old in the car. It is a major safety concern.

Vehicle came to complete stop on two separate occasions randomly twice in August 2023. (Power stayed on, engine stopped) - (Battery and Engine light came on) As of this point it is uncertain what component failed, but the reports of fuel injector/pump being the source of the problem is so common to the point that it's surprising that there hasn't been a nationwide recall. Right now, it's currently with the dealership service department.

After getting routine maintenance done on 5/29/2023 at Courtesy Hyundai in Tampa, my vehicle stalled numerous times when running the A/C. The compressor kicks on, RPM drops and the car violently jerks before shutting off. The system will only restore if I turn the A/C off. So I assumed the issue was due to the A/C putting pressure on the vehicle. I took it back to the same dealership on 6/6/2023 and they performed a fuel sample and said there was bad gas (high water content) in the tank (even though I only use 93 octane gas from a premium gas station, Shell) and stated the fix action would be to drain the fuel and clean the injectors for $850. I declined because I didn't believe that was truly the problem and wanted a second opinion from a different Genesis dealership. About three weeks later, I was merging on the interstate going 65 miles per hour and the vehicle stalled, lost power and came to an immediate stop. Absolutely nothing worked!!! I almost got hit by multiple vehicles. I waited a few minutes before restarting and the vehicle drove like nothing was wrong. However, this problem continued several times as I was trying to get home. I did notice it was having difficulty accelerating after that. I would say this vehicle randomly stalled in moving traffic more than 10 times in a two month period. I was finally able to get a service appointment with Lakeland Genesis on August 4th. After about a week, I was notified the fuel pump is indeed bad and needs to be replaced, which is what I thought initially. The vehicle has not been repaired yet because the part is on backorder with no ETA. So I'm unsure if replacing the fuel pump is the final fix. We are part of an online GV70 forum and it seems many other owners are going through this same issue. This is extremely dangerous and someone is going to be seriously injured or killed because the vehicle stalls with no warning lights, no alerts, no error codes, no nothing.

This happened twice before I took the car back to the dealer for service. Both times I was driving the vehicle and it suddenly stops accelerating. The car suddenly comes to a stop. I continued pressing the accelerator and the car continued to quickly slow down to a stop. Both times I was in traffic and could have been rear ended or certainly could have caused an accident. The car is currently at the dealer and they have not called me yet to know what they found. I am a member of the GV70 Facebook group and I have seen many other owners who reported the same issue with their vehicle. It truly is terrifying and obviously a safety risk. Some members of the group stated that they were told it was the fuel pump. Genesis needs to get this issue fixed.

RQ22003 · Seat Belt Pretensioners May Rupture

Opened Aug 8, 2022 · Closed May 26, 2023

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Seat Belts; Seat Belts:front; Seat Belts:pretensioner

On August 8, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Recall Query (RQ) based on 3 incidents alleging front seat belt pretensioners that may rupture during deployment, on model year (MY) 2020-2022 of various Hyundai and Kia Models, resulting in 3 injuries (note: one incident occurred outside the U.S. and its territories).Between October 2021 and March 2023, Hyundai and Kia have filed the following 11 safety recalls for pretensioner rupture: NHTSA Recall No. 21V-796, 22V-069, 22V-123, 22V-127, 22V-218, 22V-354, 22V-447, 22V-458, 22V-816, 23V-094, and 23V-210.Hyundai/Kia have stated that the abnormal deployment of the pretensioners is due to over-pressurization of the pretensioner pipe that can cause metal fragments to enter the vehicle occupant compartment, which can result in injury to vehicle occupants.The various makes/models covered by the above recalls include approximately 405,900 certain 2020-2022 Hyundai Accent, 2021-2022 Hyundai Elantra and Elantra HEV, 2021-2022 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, 2022-2023 Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV, 2020-2022 Hyundai Venue, 2021-2023 Genesis G80, 2023 Genesis G80 EV, 2023 Genesis G90, 2023 Genesis GV60 EV, 2022-2023 Genesis GV70, 2021-2023 Genesis GV80, 2021-2022 Kia Sorento HEV, and 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV.In response to ODI's investigation, in December 2022, Hyundai notified ODI that they would be conducting testing to validate subject vehicle seat belt pretensioners. This evaluation included sled testing and software testing which was performed by Hyundai and its suppliers. The tests were intended to evaluate pretensioner deployment characteristics based on the unique deployment signature of the subject and peer vehicles. ODI met with representatives from Hyundai on several occasions during the investigation to discuss testing progress and data. As a result of the testing, Hyundai was able to simulate the pretensioner failures. It was determined by Hyundai during testing, the front driver-side and/or passenger-side seat belt pretensioners may explode upon deployment in the event of a crash which can cause metal fragments to enter the vehicle occupant compartment.Hyundai thus notified ODI of their decision to proceed with a safety recall, to expand the scope of the previous safety actions.In view of the recall actions taken by Hyundai and Kia, ODI concerns have been addressed. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

On August 8, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Recall Query (RQ) based on 3 incidents alleging front seat belt pretensioners that may rupture during deployment, on model year (MY) 2020-2022 of various Hyundai and Kia Models, resulting in 3 injuries (note: one incident occurred outside the U.S. and its territories).Between October 2021 and March 2023, Hyundai and Kia have filed the following 11 safety recalls for pretensioner rupture: NHTSA Recall No. 21V-796, 22V-069, 22V-123, 22V-127, 22V-218, 22V-354, 22V-447, 22V-458, 22V-816, 23V-094, and 23V-210.Hyundai/Kia have stated that the abnormal deployment of the pretensioners is due to over-pressurization of the pretensioner pipe that can cause metal fragments to enter the vehicle occupant compartment, which can result in injury to vehicle occupants.The various makes/models covered by the above recalls include approximately 405,900 certain 2020-2022 Hyundai Accent, 2021-2022 Hyundai Elantra and Elantra HEV, 2021-2022 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, 2022-2023 Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV, 2020-2022 Hyundai Venue, 2021-2023 Genesis G80, 2023 Genesis G80 EV, 2023 Genesis G90, 2023 Genesis GV60 EV, 2022-2023 Genesis GV70, 2021-2023 Genesis GV80, 2021-2022 Kia Sorento HEV, and 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV.In response to ODI's investigation, in December 2022, Hyundai notified ODI that they would be conducting testing to validate subject vehicle seat belt pretensioners. This evaluation included sled testing and software testing which was performed by Hyundai and its suppliers. The tests were intended to evaluate pretensioner deployment characteristics based on the unique deployment signature of the subject and peer vehicles. ODI met with representatives from Hyundai on several occasions during the investigation to discuss testing progress and data. As a result of the testing, Hyundai was able to simulate the pretensioner failures. It was determined by Hyundai during testing, the front driver-side and/or passenger-side seat belt pretensioners may explode upon deployment in the event of a crash which can cause metal fragments to enter the vehicle occupant compartment.Hyundai thus notified ODI of their decision to proceed with a safety recall, to expand the scope of the previous safety actions.In view of the recall actions taken by Hyundai and Kia, ODI concerns have been addressed. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.
