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.
