DO NOT BUY A GENESIS!

I bought a brand new 2020 G70, and to my surprise, it made this horrible clunking sound from what it seemed like coming from the front passenger side tire when making certain left turns. It sounded like "duh duh duh," and made the whole car vibrate, as well. Not only that, the driver seat window made a weird clicking sound when rolled up and down. I would describe it as if the glass was being bent when going up and down? I seriously thought I was sold a used, wrecked car with a new body slapped on to make it look brand new. When I called the car salesman who sold me the piece of junk, he assured me it was new and said he couldn't do anything about it, instructing me to take it to a service center. I took it to 2 different service centers multiple times, and everyone kept telling me the car was fine, that it was supposed to make that sound because it's a rear wheel drive, and when it crosses a crosswalk, it's susceptible to making that kind of noise, "blah blah blah." They were coming up with all different kinds of explanations that made no sense whatsoever! After 3 long months of driving the crappy-ass car, a guy from the high tech dept. at a third service center finally figured out was what wrong with the car. It was due to faulty engine mounts! How Hyundai managed to install bad engine mounts, sell it to a consumer, and insist nothing was wrong with the car for over 3 months is ludicrous! I'm sure driving it with bad engine mounts for 3 months didn't do the car any good. When I bought this "luxury" sedan, I was expecting excellent quality and standards. Due to it having bad engine mounts from the get-go, I no longer trust the car and still think it's a used car that's been in an accident. Do yourself a huge favor and DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on a Genesis! They're not trustworthy whatsoever!

Stay away.

Garbage. Do not buy. Not worth the 55k. Brakes suck. Gas mileage sucks. Speakers suck. Free oil changes are conventional. Sucks. Do yourself a favor and buy a different car. Kia and Hyundai is not the way to go. Garbage Garbage garbage Garbage Garbage

Totally Disappointed

I purchase this vehicle new and the problems began only after a few months. The brake rotors have warped twice; the exterior door handle button fell off, the dealer ordered the wrong replacement. I complained several times about an oil-burning smell, their fix was to replace the cabin filter; I returned again because of course that did not fix the problem, they finally found that the rear main seal was leaking oil. The transmission and engine had to be removed to repair it; because of this last issue, I haven't driven my car in two months, and it's still in the shop. I plan to get rid of this car as soon as it is repaired. I wanted to purchase a Genesis SUV for my wife, but Now I'm thinking that I will NEVER buy another Genesis vehicle.

Awful, terrible experience. Caveat Emptor...

Vehicle has proven to be incredibly unreliable. The fuel system gets contaminated and never gets cleaned out properly. The vehicle has been into the service shop at least 15 times in 24 months. I think the service organization knows my car better than I do. They had my car from slightly before Thanksgiving until the end of January before returning it. It took about one month before the check engine light came back on again. Don't You Love it?

I think it’s ridiculous to ask me to fill out a survey and elicit my opinion and then not let me submit the survey unless I write pros and cons they are going to reproduce somewhere- corporate America at its finest. Do you really care about the criticism I have truthfully put in the survey or is this all for marketing?

Turbo and brake issues under 5k miles

I will start with saying the warranty and service contract has handled everything as well as I could have asked for . My issues started on the first 48 hours. A rattle noise , broken catalytic converter. A terrible screech from the throttle body, (main issue) causing turbos to be replaced 3 times and the vehicle repurchased, and the upgraded brakes overheating and clamping down twice. I would say they have some real issues and surprised no one has reported this here yet even though the genisis 9forums have many threads. Even my rental car had the noise and went unfixed after I reported it .

G70 has some serious braking issuse

The car was leased brand new and for a few months had no issues at all. Then the vibration with the brakes started and braking performance sucks. They refinished the rotors, then they replaced them and STILL it has issues. Any speeds above 60mph and it almost feels like the car wont stop unless you push hard through the vibrations.

Bad

Very harsh ride. Extremely high road noise above 50mph. I have had people attracted to the looks of the car ask me about it. I have told them that I can’t recommend this vehicle. Go buy a G80 or a Honda.

Great car with terrible support.

Car is a fantastic ride, has great styling, and is fun to drive. Dealership service experience is terrible, Genesis corporate doesn't care about any issues with the car after purchase, and expect the car to have issues that the Hyundai service tech's do not know how to resolve. In one year of ownership I've never had a car spend so much time at a dealership for things that should have never been an issue if any sort of quality control was attempted. Weeks upon weeks of the car being at the dealer in the first year leaves me with zero confidence in Genesis to resolve issues and in the long term reliability of the vehicle.

Great car, with one huge drawback

I leased this vehicle new off the lot. I wanted to trade from my NA Toyota Camry XSE to something with a turbo and between the Genesis and the Supra, this was clearly better. The first month or 2 were great, no issues and i drove the car daily and loved it. Then, something happened with the brakes. I took it in for a service and they said i had a warped rotor, causing vibration and braking performance to suffer horribly. They refinished the rotor and gave the car back. I noticed almost right away that it hadnt been corrected. But i waited a bit to see if driving the car would resolve the issue. It didnt. So i took it in again and they replaced the front rotors, and gave the car back. And STILL has issues with vibration and stopping power. If i am going at highway speed or above, the car vibrates through the pedals terribly and the braking performance is almost non-existant. its becoming a safety hazard at this point. Love everything else about the car, but the brakes need to be fixed or i wont be coming back.

my g 70

very nice car, great value. styling a bit "much" for my taste, prefer more subtlety (eg audi). the interior is a bit noisy on highway driving, already notice a couple rattles. the 2.0 liter engine is a bit weak, should be corrected nicely with the proposed 2.5. preferred when the ventilated seats were in the elite pkg (very nice option here in florida), was forced to buy several expensive options i dont really care for. hope genesis can soon meet or beat the germans in fuel mileage

I have been on the hunt for my next amazing vehicle, milestone birthday on the horizon and I wanted something that stood out, something different and amazing. It all kept coming back to the G70, I've had Bimmers, Audi's and Infiniti's.... Mercedes was nwxt on the list but when the dust settled my 3.3T G70, with all the trimmings blew the doors off for me, ride, style, power, handling..'nuff said. Thank you, Team Genesis!

G70 2.0T

Overall love the vehicle and am impressed with Genesis and their desire to be ach out and become their own brand. A Genesis will most likely be my next car. While it is a new car brand, I would have like it’s even more options available when picking out my vehicle. Also, since the G70 is the smallest sedan of the three I’d like to see it be more focused for the younger generation and be more sporty/aggressive like the previous vehicles of the Hyundai Genesis lineup.

Beautiful car

Beautiful car. Backseat is a little cramped. Overall nice. The bluetooth connects then disconnect each time the car is turned off. That can be frustrating. I am learning to just re-pair the phone with the bluetooth each time. The car handles beautifully and I get a lot of compliments on the sleekness of the vehicle.

Love my G70 overall but have some issues.

I bought a Genesis G70 Sport which is a fantastic car, very fast, handles great. The Sport model has “smoked chrome” trim around the windows which is very fragile and scratches easily. My G70 trim was scratched on delivery. I showed this to the dealer and the only solution is to replace the trim, the scratches can’t be buffed out or the soft plastic coating will buff off exposing the bright chrome underneath, not good. My concern is that the grill is also coated in this soft, scratch prone, coating. I am also worried that the replacement parts will be as fragile as the original. This is a MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. These trim pieces are in high wear areas, car washes ect. will continue to scratch the parts. These parts should ALL be coated With a hard coating like DLC (Diamond Like Coating). By the way, the scratched trim issue is heavily discussed on line forums.

G70 = amazing

The overall design & looks of G70 are awesome. It's a real head turner. The 3.3T Sport is style, luxury & performance all melded together is a great looking package. A great alternative to the BMW 3 series or the Mercedes-Benz C class. The 5 year 60,000 mile warranty is an industry leader & gives you buyer's confidence.

Very good needs a little more sport to edge over the luxury competitors

Overall a very good car. I believe the 3.3t model which I have should have more sound. Every German competitor will cross shop and a bmw 440 or c43 sound and exhaust note may steal them away. The ride is very good but again steering is too light, and yes even for a confortable luxury brand. Overall would I buy this again YES because I know genesis is already working on some of these issues
