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.
2023 Genesis GV70 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
[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)
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.
Vehicle turn off suddenly driving in the middle of the highway putting at risk the life of my family I never have an issue like this i. My previous owe vehicles
While on trip traveling through Ft. Worth in heavy traffic my GV70 stopped responding to accelerator. As I was trying to get out of traffic and to side of road vehicle began to lurch and jerk forward spasmodically. I then noticed the car had gone into neutral on its own. While waiting for help the car would turn off. Sometimes would come back on. Vehicle was towed to dealership where it is waiting diagnostics. Could have been a deadly event.
