2019 Genesis G70 Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“As I was driving my Genesis G70 on the highway last week in heavy traffic, without any warning, the sunroof exploded. It made a very loud noise and scared the hell out of me. Luckily I maintained control of the vehicle”

“The sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving, around 50mph. It was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit outside. No other vehicles were in the immediate vicinity and nothing was above me at the time”

“The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the audiovisual navigation screen displayed a blank screen. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer”

“The infotainment system, while using Apple Car Play, is operating erratically, and at its worst goes to a completely black screen that does not accept any input from the touchscreen”

“Audio visual screen freezes and changes menus without you touching it. Went to dealer and they stated they know about it and they do not have a fix”

“Component that failed: Driver-side mirror actuator on my 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T (power-folding, auto-dimming mirror). It intermittently malfunctions by tilting completely up or down without input, making it impossible to see out of the mirror while driving”

“The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and merging into the right lane, the contact became aware that the passenger’s side sideview mirror was still locked in the closed position. The contact stated that the sideview mirror failed to retract when the vehicle was unlocked”

“The contact stated that the side view mirrors failed to open intermittently, causing the contact to manually open the mirror. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure”

“Oil pressure sensor in the engine failed. This issue is critical and unsafe due to driver distraction and making sure their engine will not seize. I had to pull over on the side of the highway, and risk endangering myself and others”

“Got an oil change on [XXX] , and 8 days after my oil light turned on. When I'm driving it turns off. When I'm on a stand still it turns on. When I give it a little gas on a stand still it turns off. My local Genesis Dealership thinks my Oil pressure switch can be failing”

“However, the oil pressure light seems to flash on and off when it wants too. After doing an oil change every 3,500k miles, it started to turn on recently. I’ve checked the oil and everything seems to be fine”

“Twice within approximately two weeks, the vehicle has suddenly and unexpectedly experienced a near-total loss of propulsion while being driven”

“On 05/19/2026, the vehicle suffered total loss of drive power at highway speeds (Hwy 16/211), creating an immediate hazard. The manufacturer failed to provide a timely remedy, initially misdirecting me to a dealer unable to service the model”

“Her High pressure fuel pump failed Diagnosed by me. Throwing the Code P0088 which is a too high pressure in fuel rail system code”

“Genesis issued safety recall for all 2019 G70’s because the starter solenoid could be contaminated with water resulting in a potential risk for an engine compartment fire ( letter received from Genesis Motor America LLC. 8-1-24 )”

“NHTSA Recall Number 24V-107 I received notice of this recall in February. I was warned of a fire risk. I keep calling the dealer and reaching out to Genesis corporate and no remedy is available. It has been several months and this is unacceptable given the safety risk”

“The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V107000 (Electrical System) and 24V191000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available”

“On numerous occasions, while driving with the adaptive cruise control on, at highway speeds, and no other vehicles near me, the system emits several beeps, shows that I'm close to a vehicle ahead of me (there isn't one), and initiates hard braking for maybe a couple of seconds”

“From six to ten times over the past year, while at highway speeds, the adaptive cruise control has suddenly sounded warning chimes and momentarily engaged emergency braking, when there is no other vehicle or object ahead of me”

“I'd like to note that I've seen a large amount of 2019 Genesis G70 RWD drivers make the same complaint as myself, the VSS completely and suddenly just stopped working. No heavy or hazardous driving to report”

“CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE WALL AT SLOW SPEEDS. I PULLED INTO THE GARAGE RIDING THE BREAK PEDAL (NO ACCELERATION/GAS) AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE BREAKS SEEMED TO GIVE OUT COMPLETELY. EVEN AS I SHOVED THE BREAK PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IT SEEMED TO DO NOTHING”

“ON 8/8/2020 I DROVE MY GENESIS G70 SPORT INTO MY HOME GARAGE DOORS AND CENTER SUPPORT BETWEEN THE TWO DOORS. IT WAS SLOW SPEED. I WATCHED AS MY CAR CONTINUED FORWARD WITH MY FOOT HARD ON THE BRAKE WITH NO BRAKING ACTION AT ALL. IT WAS A 100% BRAKE FAILURE”
