There are 7 owner-reported engine complaints for the 2022 Genesis GV80in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
4/2/26, very hard to start the engine and engine warning light was blinking. noticed significant amount of fuel leaking on driver side of engine. The vehicle was towed to Genesis dealership. 4/3/26, engine cylinder #4 fuel leaking due to broken o-ring per dealership. Crossover fuel pipe and o-ring were replaced.
1) This vehicle was taken in for the seatbelt pretensioner issue and was turned away due to 'no replacement parts on hand'. To be clear an appointment was made indicating this is the service needed and the dealer could not complete the work. 2) Additionally this vehicle suffers from a sudden loss of power on the highway. If vehicles are following too closely there could be a serious accident. The failure mode of this condition is triggered by high temperatures 105 to 107 F there is a persistent DTC code P0087000 which indicates inadequate fuel pressure and maybe caused by fuel pump, pressure regulator, or sensor. At least once, when the car cools off the main computer (referred to 'the head unit' by Genesis customer care) can be 'reset', and all DTCs are cleared and Check Engine Light is cleared. Several owners of G70, GV70, and GV80 owners are reporting similar "sudden loss of engine power" on the owners forum.
I have been driving my car and it will automatically flip to neutral and start blinking all sorts of engine lights. I can sometimes stop the car and restart it, and it will be okay, but it typically takes a few tries. It has happened after I start my car and am in the driveway, when I'm going ~40MPH and when I'm on the interstate going >70MPH. I have an infant and have been in the car with him when this has happened. This is obviously anxiety inducing anytime I get in the car, but even more so when I need to transport him. I have requested a loaner car from multiple Genesis dealerships until they can diagnose and fix it, but most do not have appointments until September and expect me to drive my car until then.
this is a follow up on a previous incident vehicle stalling since 24 hours after purchasing on September 29 2022. was taken to shop total of three times 2 of them towed because of stalling on middle of road. on those occasion they blamed a coil and a fuel injector. has been at dealer since October 28 2022. to this date still not repaired because after 6 months there they finally agreed and came to the conclusion that engine was defective. Cylinder chamber not creating enough pressure therefore staling the engine. now since april still waiting for a new engine to be installed.
Engine had first incident not turning in one morning and check engine light showing up. Vehicle had to be towed to neares dealer for repair. They stated there was a dirty coil and that problem was resolved. Two days later check engine e light again came back on and vehicle engine would rattle and stall. Dealer stated it was bad fuel to wait a few days. Took back to retailer this time the states there was a malfunctioning fuel injector that was replaced. 1 week later engine stalled in middle of busy main avenue in town and once again had to be towed to dealer for repair: vehicle has been at dealer since October 28 ,2022.
