UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Faulty, headlight. Cracks near the screw in the middle of the headlight plastic, Which causes it to stop working, which is a safety hazard. Upon investigation, there are tons and tons of them for sale online with the same crack from the same screw in the same spot and apparently Genesis is refusing to take the blame for the faulty headlight.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Found condensation on both headlights. Took to dealer and they stated that it was caused by rock chips and Genesis will not cover the cost of repair. I talked to Genesis corporate office and they said condensation is normal and they will not repair it. I took my car to a body shop and they said the cracks are coming from where the screws attach to the headlights. All the cracks on the headlights are where the screws are. Now the daytime running lights and the turn signals are not working. This is a safety issue.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlight assembly is not sealed properly. I had to have the passenger side headlight assembly replaced due to condensation inside of the assembly which can lead to the headlight shorting out. This was replaced by Lee Hyundai in Fayetteville, NC under the warranty. The driver side headlight assembly is now experiencing the same issue and it is set to be replaced again under warranty by Lee Hyundai. After some research online, I have heard from a number of other people who own this same model and year who have replicated experiences with the headlights allowing in moisture.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My vehicle is just over two years old and this has happened three times. Every light and warning message on the dash comes on all at once and the vehicle is put into limp mode. Going from 50 miles per hour to a little over 5 miles per hour in just a few seconds. Genesis also doesn't seem to think its an issue considering their dealers have had the car for two months and the only explanation I have been given is, "There is nothing wrong with your car" or "The car is driving great, you can pick it up." I have never felt scared to drive a car in my 10 plus years of driving until I purchased a 2022 Genesis G70.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
After a recent dealership visit for maintenance, the car began emitting a warning chime every 5 to 10 seconds and replace the tachometer display with "uneven road ahead" or "slippery road ahead". This takes place during the entire time the vehicle is on, at 5 to 10 second intervals. This renders the tachometer unusable. It dramatically decreases the usefulness of the warning chime for anything real since it is constantly going off. It is EXTREMELY distracting in city driving to have a warning alert constantly going off. Genesis is aware of the problem, but has provided no fix and simply says "June" for the purported release of a fix

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Upon pressing the gas pedal to start the car moving after a light turned green, vehicle shuddered, all dash lights came on and vehicle was unable to do anything but coast at a dangerously slow speed. Check engine light remained lit. I pulled over and turned off the engine and called the Genesis connected service with offered a repair slot. I waited awhile and restarted the car which turned on but remained in “limp mode” without significant gas boost and would not go over 40mph. I returned the car to the used car lot the following day. This car’s odometer read leas than 5K miles at this time, and was a 2022 model year.

Popping and cracking sound since the 3rd day I owned the car- a new Genesis G70. It is now at the dealer for the 3rd time and they said the sunroof assembly may need to be replaced. I saw on a forum about Hyundais (Genesis is owned by the same) having issues with exploding sunroofs and the precursor was the sound I am experiencing. I am not alone as I saw on the Genesis forum MANY owners are having the same issue. In addition I am having a popping and cracking noise from the dash which is not being addressed and the car overall is shaky. This all started at 150 miles on the car and I’ve been driving loaners now more than my actual car. I am writing because if there is something inherently wrong with this model something needs to be done and I’ve been getting the run around from the dealership and Genesis corporate has yet to contact me and should have given the dealership is legally suppose to notify them within 7 days and the first work order was established on May 18th I believe. It’s now June 11th and the third time my car is in at the dealership it was purchased at. When I saw that post about sunroofs exploding I got very nervous and I do not want to see that happen to anyone.
