ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I have had my GV80 prestige since 2021. Recently the headlights started developing moisture in them. I found out this is an issue with a lot of the genesis. The lights are poorly designed causing water to flow down through the headlights into the light module which makes all the lights on that side of the vehicle inoperable. The vehicle will not pass safety inspection. Currently Genesis advertise that they are out of stock on the drivers side light. So you will be without a vehicle until they make more. My car is currently sitting at the Genesis dealership waiting on parts. This has happened to a lot of genesis owners. Should be a recall item, but it’s not. I

Seal on headlight and turn signal failed during a rainy day letting Condensation into assembly and burned out unit. Dealer verified the issue and wants $4200 for the part plus labour and taxes. Many complaints online about same problem. 0

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

The component that failed is the driver side headlamp and blinker. It collected condensation from a manufacturer defect that Genesis will not take accountability for. They over tightened the screws which caused hairline cracks in the assembly, which then causes condensation in the housing. The condensation cause the headlight and blinker to stop working altogether. This is a major safety issue and put me at risk of danger from cars not knowing where I am turning, or not being able to see me at all without a headlight. No, it doesn't need confirmed. It is not hard to tell when a headlight is out. There is literally no light.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Subject: Safety Complaint – Fuel Door Malfunction on Genesis Vehicle Dear NHTSA, I am writing to formally file a safety-related complaint regarding a fuel door malfunction on my Genesis vehicle. This defect has left me unable to access the fuel tank, presenting a serious safety risk—particularly the possibility of being stranded without fuel, which poses a threat to both driver and passenger safety. I have been informed by both Genesis Customer Care and the Genesis dealership in Huntsville, Alabama that this issue is common and recurring across multiple Genesis models. It is not the result of wear and tear, and is unrelated to mileage. This is a design or mechanical flaw that directly compromises vehicle operability. Despite acknowledgment that this is a known defect, Genesis has refused to resolve the issue under warranty, even though it is clearly a safety-related failure. I have attempted to escalate the matter internally, but have encountered delay, avoidance, and a refusal to take accountability. If this defect were to leave me or my family stranded without access to fuel—especially in extreme weather or on a busy highway—it could result in severe consequences. I believe this issue merits formal investigation and potential recall consideration. I respectfully request that the NHTSA review this issue and consider initiating an investigation to determine whether a recall or safety bulletin is warranted. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I have genesis GV 80 3.5 AWD. They gave 3 year connected service feature then after we have to pay every year. I not took this service, I realize it not showing any maintenance or oil change notification. When I contacted genesis on 844-340-9741 then they even don't pull when last oil change done. They said you must pay for connected service then maintenance service will show. This is basic feature it must show without additional charge. When contacted them on toll free number they told me you have manual so calculate by your self every 7500 miles need to change oil. It's written in manual. Otherwise it will not show until you not pay money. Who going to check manual? This is basic feature "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" even coming in my Toyota corolla.
