Worst Manufacturer and Dealer Service Possible

The vehicle itself is beautiful, optioned well and great performance. I enjoyed driving it and wanted so bad to support the brand. However, do not expect to be treated with any respect when dealing with a Hyundai dealer. Sales tactics like buy here pay here, complete lack of service support and the promise of loaners and concierge service was a complete lie. I kept this car for maybe 3 months and around 1500 miles. The stress of trying to get things fixed and working with Genesis Consumer Affairs, who have zero authority to do anything and are ineffective was just too much. I traded in the G70 to preserve my sanity.

G70

Nice looking car. Impressive exterior and interior. Very poor on gas. Smell of gas intermittently and very powerful.. Not a very comfortable car to sit in for a period of time. Low carriage also. Gears slip when changing from park to neutral to drive positions. Front defroster doesn’t work too well.

Horrible Dealers kills this brand

Google Review I posted for my experience with my dealer. (Hyundai of Metairie) Have my experience I traded in the car on a new 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance. DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE OR GET YOUR CAR SERVICED HERE ONE OF THE WORST DEALERS IN LOUISIANA. They only care about selling you the car once its sold to you good luck because the customer service is Horrible. So bad I sold my car because the service and customer service was horrible. McDonalds drive thru has better customer service then Hyundai of Metairie. Honestly one of the worst dealers I have ever experienced. Bought a new 2021 Genesis G70 after a month of owning the car developed a leaking trunk. Car was there for over a month. I would call my service advisor Cara Ledet asking for an update and was always sent to voicemail saying I would get a callback and never did. Only time they called was to say the car was ready for pickup. Once I received it back after being fixed the trunk was still leaking water. The second time they kept the car for a month I would call and ask for updates only to be pushed aside to voicemail saying ill get a call back. I never got a call back. The only time they called me was to say they couldn't find the leak. I was so fed up with this dealership I sold my new car after buying it in May 2021 and sold it November 2021.

Tom’s Genisis G70

My prior car to the Genisis was a 1998 Mercedes 320E. I was blown away by the Genesis & all of its features, comfort and styling. I have not missed my Mercedes one bit! At the same time I bought my Genesis, my wife purchased a new Hyundai Palisade. Clearly we are advocates of the brand!

Poor build quality

Good performance, but poor build quality. Rattles and creaks from sunroof. Incompetent dealer service. Fading chrome trim in under 1 year. Vehicle is not up to the same standards as bmw and mercedes. I would not recommend until the dealer network improves / can actually fix problems. Dealer scratched my car while in service and would not fix.

Overpriced and not luxury

I bought my first Genesis this year opting for a G70 2.0T based on the dealership experience. It has not met any expectations what so ever after owning it for two months. The MPG are terrible. The engine performance is just hoo hum. The ride quality is harsh and unforgiving. The noise inside the cabin when driving is terrible. I was considering a BMW and now I believe I should've bought one.

Good performance horrible exterior quality

Performance and handling is great. Exterior quality of this car is horrible, the paint blemishes extremely easy if say a bird poops on it and it’s sitting in the sun, I have marks all over the car I cannot get off. In all likelihood I will not buy this car when the lease is up

Worst Ownership Experience

Do not purchase anything from a Hyundai dealer. They seem to despise Genesis buyers, treat you like a buy here pay here customer, treat you like a dog post sale. Also the lies about loaners and concierge service. It’s a competitive car with other luxury brands sold by the worst dealerships in the world.

Car is good - Customer experience is subpar

The G70 is an attractive and comfortable car, and I would generally recommend it to others. The dealership experiences and the Genesis Customer Concierge services have been subpar. For a car company trying to compete with the Germans, they have a way to go.

I think Hyundai, Kia, Genesis provides great vehicles but....

Car is excellent but I am unhappy with my vehicle because I had to go the dealership too many times for repairing. Service is really bad. Like I want to get a new car now. I've always preferred a compact car like G70 or GV70 and they are perfect for me. Price range, performance, design but I am sick of tired of my car. In 2 years, I had to visit the dealership more than 4 times for repairing. And just yesterday engine warning light came on. I contacted the fucking service team online and chatter just ended the chat I was texting something I was concerned on. And she said service team will contact me as soon as possible but there is no response yet. If they don't call me back, it is fucking 3rd times. At the first time I've been waiting for their call for 2 months. To chatter I told her I hope to schedule an appointment tomorrow because of the engine warning light just appeared. It seems already I can't appoint the fucking service tomorrow again.

Greatness is possible

Excellent vehicle for the money. Fun to drive and responsive. Excellent over speed bumps! Need more dealerships and dedicated dealerships for a true luxury experience. Should have a dual clutch tranny, larger infotainment screen with better graphics

Beautiful car

Love this car I think it’s a beauty, the sleek design and the roar of the engine sold me. I like that it handles anything that is thrown it’s way but I dislike that the cabin is small. I really think this car could be perfect if the cabin was much bigger.

Very Close....

Very close to perfection..... nothing but positive things to say except remote start cannot be done via key FOB. Remote start is only available via smartphone app. Last thing I want to do is take my phone out, and find an app to start my car!!!!!!

Nice car with some issues

The 2021 Genesis G70 (Elite package) is a very nice looking car. For a small car, it has a very smooth ride and the car accelerates powerfully and quickly. Downsides are the "idle stop and go," which must be shut off every time you start the car, and the car's hesitant, rough ride when started in a cold condition. I also find the A/C to be under-powered.

Bad dealership

I'm leasing my car through Suntrup Hyundai South. I like my Genesis. I dont like Suntrup Hyundai South. The experience was poor, as their behaviors and actions were patronizing to me. I had to take time out of my day to drive to the dealer to ensure that my Hyundai Sonata 2020 I traded in was paid off. As of this email, I have not received any documentation on lease payments or documents I can take to register my vehicle. I can be reached at 314.536.3603. Any influence on this issue will be appreciated.

Genesis G70

I like it and i enjoy driving it. When someone wants to ride with me i tell them no, you can't fir in the back seat. It may as well been a 2 door coupe. But, i do enjoy driving it everyday to work and back home. Thank you to all who helped me get this car.

Nice car but some issues

Genesis is trying to become a "high-end" vehicle and could succeed if they would stop using inexcusable decisions. Why take away Genesis sales from certain dealers and create travel issues for more dealers for repair? This will be on my mind when it comes time to trading vehicles. Also if they want to be high=-end, they need to repair their high-end vehicle no matter what. It ain't so high-end if only part of the franchise is high-end.
