Experienced acceleration problem with my brand new Genesis GV70, only 7 mos. old. I backed car out of garage and onto my street, put car in "drive" and pressed down on gas to move forward, but car would not accelerate. This was only for a split second, and then it started to accelerate. It was strange, though, and had never happened before. I continued on my route and as I was entering an onramp to get on freeway, car would not accelerate again. Car maintained 20mph speed but would not go any faster as I pushed down on the gas peddle. I was able to pull off to side of the ramp. I turned engine off and restarted car, tried to move forward again, but again would not accelerate. Turned car off again, restarted, and this time, I was able to accelerate. Very scary to think of this happening if I was already on freeway with cars going 70+mph. I took car to dealership and they checked everything out, and did not find anything wrong with the car. They were not able to replicate the issue. I am now concerned because I was not imagining this happening and it was very scary. I am aware that some prior year Genesis models had problems like this and Genesis/Hyundai have issued recall notices, but not for my 2023 model. It seems to me that there is still an issue with the 2023 models, as I have read of similar cases like mine on several genesis owner forums. I don't know how many people have to report the issue before it is deemed a safety concern. Does someone have to be severely injured or die first? I am afraid to drive my brand new car.

The contact owns a 2023 Genesis GV70. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, where it was diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred while driving 2 hours later. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 9,092.
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
Catastrophic failure of a brand new 2023 Genesis GV 70 on 6/6/23. The GV70 was purchased on 4/29/23 with 22 miles. It was not driven between 5/12/23 and 5/26/23 while I was out of the country. On the evening on 6/6/23 as I was merging onto the northbound lanes of the Baltimore Washington Parkway from I-295 DC, the vehicle violently shook, burning smell, and then shut off completely, including the steering column. I was able to partially drift to a right shoulder with the driver side of the vehicle still in a lane of traffic. I called the U.S. Park Police for assistance crawled over to the passenger side and put my seatbelt on in case the vehicle was hit. The USPS arrived and immediately blocked a lane of traffic and called Maryland DOT for further assistance because of the hazardous situation. Could not be towed because it would not stay in neutral. It then with no one in it started on its own, smoke coming out of exhaust and burning smell. I contacted manufacturer 6/6/23. To date, Genesis has not been able to tell me the cause of the catastrophic failure or has been able to fix the problem. I was put in a terrifying and dangerous situation.
Purchased the car 1/28/2023 and drove it off the lot with 20 miles on the odometer. Within the first 15 miles and merging onto a freeway, the motor cut out and we were almost rear ended. The sudden loss of power nearly caused a significant accident. We replicated the issue several times. We took the car to the dealership in our home state. We were told it was a fuel pump and water pump issue and they were seeing it in about 20% of the new cars. As of 2/17/23 we are still without our new car as it has been at the dealership since waiting for new parts. The dealership and the manufacturer knew of this issue and continued to sell and let people drive off their lots in potentially unsafe cars.
