Genesis GV80 stalling problems

Filed Nov 2, 2026 · Fuel system · IN

My 2023 Genesis GV80 has experienced three separate incidents of sudden engine stalling and loss of power during acceleration, creating serious safety hazards. The first incident occurred September 18, 2026, followed by additional failures on October 15 and October 30, despite multiple warranty repair attempts. Component/System Failure: The malfunction appears related to the fuel delivery and/or electrical systems. Genesis of Carmel diagnosed problems involving the high-pressure fuel pump and an electrical connector, which were subsequently repaired or replaced. Following another failure, the dealership identified concerns involving the low-pressure fuel pump and performed additional repairs. Despite these repairs, the vehicle continues to experience the same symptoms. The vehicle is currently at Genesis of Carmel and is available for inspection. Safety Risk: On September 18, the vehicle suddenly stalled while I was pulling onto a county road, leaving it disabled in a dangerous position with hills and blind spots obstructing visibility for approaching traffic. We were forced to manually place the vehicle in neutral and physically push it back into our neighborhood to avoid a potential collision. On October 15, less than approximately 26 hours after being returned from the dealership, the vehicle experienced the identical failure while attempting to leave my driveway. The engine would briefly start before shutting down again. On October 30, the vehicle stalled for a third time while I was attempting to accelerate from my driveway onto a busy county road with oncoming traffic. The sudden loss of power created another potentially serious collision risk. I managed to move the vehicle into a private driveway, where it remained disabled. Dealer Confirmation and Repair Attempts: Genesis of Carmel has reproduced and confirmed the malfunction during previous diagnostic testing. On October 1, following replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump, the dealership confirmed

This car has stalled 3 times. Randomly, but each time while car was fully stopped. Once when I was sitting in a parking lot about to pull into traffic, and when waiting for a light to go from red to green. After these two times I took car to dealer. They ran diagnostics and said there were NO error codes. They tried to reproduce but could not. I asked them to reset all computers in car, which they did. But it happened again yesterday. This third time, weather is nice, about 68 degrees. I had been driving about 3 miles, waiting for a light to change. I believe the car went into “Auto stop”, like usual, but when light changed and I took foot off brake, car stalled. It then BEEPS rapidly at me, and I believe the warning message says something like “Can not start car in Drive, please put in Park”. As cars are behind me and honking furiously, I put drive selector into P, and push start button, it starts and I drive away. Safety issue is cars behind me, expecting me to move, and I can’t. I worry about being rear ended. Each time I believe car had gone into “Auto stop” mode to conserve gas. Each time Weather was clear and normal. One time it happened with my wife in car. I was not fiddling with any controls. I have other cars with “auto stop” and this never happens. I only use brand name high octane gas. I am contacting dealer about this third incident, but don’t have much hope that they will find anything to fix. Have you had any other complaints like this from other owners of this car? I saw that in past Genesis has had recall for faulty fuel pump. Is this maybe another fuel pump defect?? Thank you.

Total battery system failure to where vehicle would not start/restart, or if started via jumping, would stall out shortly thereafter. Battery problem to point to where jump starting is difficult due to shorted battery lowering availalble power to start/restart engine. This could have caused unexpected removal of power from the vehcile during traveling or in unsafe areas. This appears to be a very common problem with this vehicle as seen on various online forums and lack of part (battery) availability.

After 3 weeks of sitting idle, the car door had trouble to open. We changed the key batteries but didn’t fix the issue. The next day, car door opened without issue and the car was fine to drive. The 3rd day, the car went dead with no response to the key. The 4th day it came back to live again. However, the car went completely stalled during driving. The engine stopped and no lights or electricity can be turned on. After 15 seconds, the car restarted by itself. I sent the car to dealership but they cannot find any issue.

I bought my 2021 GV80 used with 15,500 miles. After driving not even 100 miles, we experienced the vehicle stalling and having no power. Giving it gas, the RPM's would not rise and the engine then shut off. The engine light briefly turned on but did not stay on. After the car shut down and turned back on, we kept driving. We took the vehicle immediately to the dealer where they proceeded to tell us there is nothing wrong because the diagnostics came back fine. But now this exact same thing has happened on 7 different occasions after driving a little over 1,000 miles. This has happened on the freeway, on busy intersections and feel unsafe to drive. On one occasion, we were almost hit from behind because we stalled making a left at a buy intersection. I took it back to a Genesis dealer and one week in their service, we were told they can't duplicate it and we should pick it up. Again, I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. There are no recalls but many complaints about this same problem and no recourse to fix this.
