This page covers 5 recalls, 83 owner complaints and EPA fuel economy for the 2022 Genesis Gv70.
21–24 mpg combined
9.8–11.2 L/100km
Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD
Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 3 tested variants for this model year.
The 2022 GV70's complaint picture centers on the fuel and propulsion system, powertrain, and engine, which together account for the largest share of owner reports. On the fuel and propulsion side, owners frequently describe high-pressure fuel pump failures that cut engine output sharply, symptoms include an inability to accelerate past around 35 mph and stalling at highway speeds. Powertrain and engine complaints overlap with similar power-loss and hesitation reports. A smaller but recurring theme involves the braking system, where owners describe uneven or pulsating braking that returns even after rotor resurfacing at the dealer. Headlight condensation also comes up across multiple reports, with owners saying moisture buildup reduces light projection noticeably enough to affect nighttime visibility even after replacement lamps are installed.

By System
The 2022 Genesis GV70 has 5 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak at the connection between the fuel pipe and fuel rail that raises the risk of an engine fire, and a seatbelt pretensioner that can explode in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin.
The seatbelt pretensioner issue is worth describing in concrete terms: in a collision, the devices that snap the front driver and passenger seatbelts tight can rupture violently rather than deploy cleanly, throwing metal shards toward occupants. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, which is why it appears across more than one recall campaign affecting this vehicle.
On the fuel system side, the GV70 also has a fuel pump that can fail without warning, cutting drive power while the vehicle is in motion. Losing power unexpectedly in traffic or on a highway limits the driver's ability to accelerate out of a hazard and can leave the vehicle coasting without engine braking, raising the likelihood of a collision.
