STEERING
Owners report multiple steering-related issues with the 2022 Genesis GV70. Complaints frequently mention sudden stiffness in steering, accompanied by alarms and dashboard warnings, occurring at both city and highway speeds. Some owners describe the vehicle swerving unexpectedly, even with lane assist features turned off, and experiencing difficulties maintaining control.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owners of the 2022 Genesis GV70 frequently report issues with vehicle speed control, particularly involving sudden loss of acceleration. Complaints often describe the car slowing down abruptly, sometimes not exceeding speeds of 15-20 mph, even when the accelerator is pressed. These incidents typically occur in traffic or on highways, posing significant safety risks due to the potential for rear-end collisions. Several reports indicate the problem may persist even after attempts to fix it, such as replacing the fuel pump. One owner notes that a dealer suggested the issue might be linked to the vehicle being in Eco mode. Additionally, some complaints highlight that the forward collision and adaptive cruise control systems may fail in snowy conditions due to sensor obstruction, although this is a separate issue from the speed control complaints.
Owner complaints3
SEAT BELTS
Owners of the 2022 Genesis GV70 report issues with the seat belt system, including failure to restrain during a crash and excessive retraction force. In one incident, a seat belt reportedly did not restrain a driver during a collision, resulting in a fatality. Another complaint describes aggressive retraction of the seat belt, which the owner believes may have contributed to a serious injury during a rear-end collision. Additionally, a recall is mentioned concerning the seat belt pretensioner potentially deploying abnormally, which could lead to metal fragments causing injury. These reports highlight significant safety implications, particularly during accidents.
