The contact's mother owned a 2021 Genesis GV80. The contact stated that while her mother was driving into a parking space at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. The vehicle drove over a field and into oncoming traffic before crashing into another vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. Only the front driver's side air bag was deployed. A police report was filed.
I was driving my Genesis GV 80 in January and in the Trac near my work and I came out of a s turn and the car seemed to over correct and lost power.. I hit a parked car and it was pushed onto 2 other cars .My front end was damaged and airbags deployed. My seatbelt jerked me and was damages . There have been recalls on this vehicle for fuel pump problem which causes crashes. There's been a recall in this vehicle for the seatbelt explodes.
Purchased brand new and within 1,000 miles the check engine light illuminated while driving. Took to dealer and they determined it was due to defective fuel injector system. Backorder on parts, so the care has been in the shop for as long as we have owned it. Wonder if similar issue to that which LED to recall of the 2021 g70?
Under 30 days of purchase and under 1000 miles - check engine light kept coming on-a possible condition with your engine control system. Two trips to service department, part is on back order until june. Service dept has vehicle for longer than I have own the car.
