On XXX, I was taking my Genesis GV70 out of the garage, while going reverse the car would not stop, the car’s reverse parking collision-avoidance assist did not work, the car continued by going over my mailbox, crossed the street, went over a cable box, went up the hill and stopped by taking a tree out of the ground. The car was pronounced total loss by Geico. Geico’s claim # XXX. The car is now at Copart, phone # [XXX], [XXX], lot # XXX. I have opened up a case with Genesis to have the car inspected by a professional to find out malfunctioning of the rear collision avoidance assist. I had to pressure Genesis to hire a professional to inspect the car but they are taking an enormous amount of time to get back to me with an explanation.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Driver assist systems, including lane keeping assist, forward collision avoidance/braking system, and related exterior sensor systems, are malfunctioning. The lane assist system has taken unintended control of steering, and the braking system has activated without cause. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle has exhibited unintended braking and steering intervention during normal driving conditions. Most recently, the lane assist system abruptly jerked the steering wheel while passing a side road opening, forcing the vehicle into a curb and causing damage. These unpredictable actions create a high risk of collision, loss of vehicle control, or being struck by other vehicles, especially in active traffic conditions. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The vehicle was brought to the dealership for inspection; however, the issues were not reproduced during testing. Testing occurred under dry weather conditions, while the malfunctions primarily occur in wet, cold, snowy, or icy conditions. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Genesis dealership service department. Genesis Consumer Affairs has been notified and is aware of the reported issues. No other third-party inspections have been performed at this time. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There have been intermittent warning messages & dashboard indicator lights related to driver assist and system functionality. These warnings have appeared inconsistently and not always at the time of the malfunction. The problems began after 30K mi and returning to NY.

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.

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)

I was heading home early in the morning on 12/13/2025 to drop a few passengers on Springfield avenue heading east in Champaign IL (the Main Street) and the other vehicle came from 5th st heading north (5th street is a side street with a stop sign at that intersection). As I approached the intersection I saw the car come forward and then come to a complete stop before the intersection I assumed to look both ways. I was 10 feet away from the intersection when the car tried to speed across the intersection and I stomped on the brakes but it wasn’t enough to stop the collision from occurring while the FCA failed to kick in. The FCA frontal collision avoidance assist did not work when a car pulled out right in front of me. Since the car pulled out in front of me at the last second on a 25mph street my car collided into the reckless driver who had a stop sign and I had the right away. The car is currently in bad condition and the radiator got destroyed at the point of impact it’s currently at a collision repair center for inspection and repair. I gave a verbal explanation to the insurance company at this time there are photos to of the frontal area from the collision. There were no warnings that went off the night of the collision the FCA just failed to kick in resulting in an accident, when its primary job is stop a frontal collision it failed to do so.

I was driving and I wasnt merging, no one was in front or behind me and my car had a collision warning and forced me to brake 3 times in a row. I was going 30 miles per hour and it made me brake really quickly, then it went forward, broke again by itself, went and then broke one more time. I had to wait for it to be normal before entering the freeway. Very scary

Vehicle experienced water intrusion through sunroof drainage system during rainfall, causing saturation of interior components and electrical malfunctions. Water accumulated in cup holders, dashboard areas, and saturated headliner materials. Following water exposure, vehicle developed multiple safety-critical electrical failures including: false forward collision avoidance system activation causing unexpected emergency braking with no obstruction present, and improper auto start/stop system engagement during low-speed driving causing vehicle to jerk and stall while in motion. Despite reporting this safety issue immediately, manufacturer Genesis Motor America failed to disclose that this was a known defect covered under Technical Service Bulletin 24-BD-008G. Customer service representatives did not mention existing TSB and refused emergency service appointments, forcing 2-month wait for service scheduling despite life-threatening electrical malfunctions. Customer had to independently discover TSB documentation through research. Only after customer escalated with TSB evidence did Genesis authorize repair. Dealer confirmed drainage system failure and completed repairs per TSB guidelines that manufacturer should have immediately referenced. Genesis's failure to disclose known safety defect and refusal of emergency service created extended exposure to dangerous electrical malfunctions that could result in accidents.

Airbags failed to deploy after pre-collision system did not activate nor did the emergency breaking activate. I struck a larger SUV while traveling ~35 mph broadside and there was no assistance from the vehicle safety features. It is unknown to me if any of the components have been adequately assessed since. I am concerned that the vehicle may be resold without proper inspection and has to potential to injure other parties in the future.

Car does not detect collision, does not slow down approaching car in front during cruise control. Errors pop up daily that front radar blocked and collision avoidance is disabled. Cruise control error also pops up daily that front radar is blocked. Just got the car end of January. Had it to dealer twice. They still have it and don’t know how to fix it. It also stops all of a sudden at slow speeds when nobody is near me because it thinks a car is in front of me. Hurt my neck with this sudden stop three times. I have photos and videos of the errors Over many weeks.
