5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant complaint theme for the 2023 GV70 centers on powertrain and propulsion behavior at highway speeds. Owners frequently report sudden, unexpected losses of power or engine stalls while driving, often during acceleration attempts, passing maneuvers on two-lane roads come up repeatedly as the context where this catches drivers off guard. Some describe pressing the accelerator and getting no response, while others report the engine cutting out momentarily before resuming normal operation. The forward collision avoidance system also draws a consistent cluster of complaints, with owners describing the system triggering unexpected hard stops without an apparent obstacle present, including on busy highways. A handful of owners report this happening more than once in the same vehicle, and at least some say the problem persisted even after dealer intervention. Windshield cracking and a tire swerving incident each appear in isolated reports but don't represent a recurring pattern at the same volume as the powertrain and active safety system complaints.

With Injuries
By System
The 2023 Genesis GV70 has 3 recalls, the most serious being two separate issues that pose fire and injury risks: a fuel line connection that can leak near the engine, and front seatbelt pretensioners that can explode during a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin.
The fuel leak occurs at the joint between the fuel pipe and the fuel rail, where gasoline can escape and contact hot engine components, raising the risk of a fire. The pretensioner defect affects the front driver and passenger seatbelts: in a crash, the devices that snap the belt tight against your body can rupture violently instead, turning pieces of the mechanism into projectiles that can strike occupants. There is also a fuel pump concern: the pump can fail without warning, cutting power to the engine while the vehicle is in motion and leaving the driver without the acceleration needed to respond to traffic.
