What GV70 owners report across recent generations

Owner summary

2022–present (1st generation, JK1)

Complaint counts are modest and CarComplaints has few reports, so the data is thin. The 2022 draws the most NHTSA complaints, and the most common one is sudden loss of power or stalling tied to the fuel pump. Owners of the 2023 more often report brake complaints, cracked headlights or windshields and check engine lights. On the Genesis Owners forum, GV70 owners discuss the fuel pump recall and replaced pumps. CarComplaints lists fishtailing on wet pavement, a replaced fuel injection part and a failed transfer case for 2022. Recalls cover the low pressure fuel pump, which may fail and cut power, and front seat belt pretensioners. [1] [2] [3] [4]

What to check before buying

  • Run the VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup, including the fuel pump and seat belt pretensioner recalls.
  • Ask for fuel pump, injector and transfer case repair records.
  • Check the headlights and windshield for cracks.
  • On the drive, accelerate from a stop and at highway speed and watch for hesitation, loss of power or a check engine light.
