Transfer Case Replacement Needed

Love the trucks look handling and color. 3000 miles AWD light comes on and throws another code indication of a bad transfer case which is ordered. Very upset the drive train failed on a new vehicle and hopeful the new one will be better and not a design flaw being a new model.

I’m trying really hard to like this vehicle. It looks and performs great. I have had issues though. After only three months and three thousand miles, got a warning light about the limited slip differential. A visit to the dealer resulted in the car spending 35 days in their lot waiting for parts. I also had a concern about a creak noise in the roof panel. When I got the car back after it’s extended stay, warning lights were off, creak noise still persists and the car was washed but has a coating/white film on the trim and in the door jams. The promised concierge service is non existent. Loaner car, not available. The dealer never once called me with any updates. I had to call them which usually resulted in a long wait listening to horrible musics and weird tones. After contacting Genesis customer service, there was nothing they could do to get me a loaner car but said they would “consider” reimbursing me for a rental after all was said and done. I have made another appointment with the dealer to see if the creak noise can be banished but was told no appointments are available for 6 weeks and of course no concierge service and loaner cars are first come first serve. I’m sure that means I will be out of luck this time around as well. This is our second Genesis and likely our last. The dealer experience is not only bad but abysmal. You get treated like they are doing you a favor buy fixing the car they sold to you. When I go to the Porsche dealer I get treated and even referred to as a guest. The Hyundai dealer treats you like an annoyance. Makes the ownership experience unsatisfying. All of the Hyundai/Genesis dealers near me all get nothing but bad reviews. All sighting poor customer service. Genesis advertises concierge service and are trying to compete with the German automakers. They are falling way, way short. I have never had poorer experiences than my visits with Hanlees Hilltop Hyundai.

After reading a lot of reviews and a test drive I purchased a GV70 (sport). I have never owned an SUV prior to this one although I have previously looked at them. I traded in a 2017 G80 (great car) on my purchase and sold a Nissan Z (retirement car) in order to purchase this car (just purchased). At 70 years old and was looking for a safe comfortable final car to drive. Unbelievably the GV70 has more internal luxury than my previously owned G80. Although my need for speed days are over, but note the engine (V6 twin turbo) has more horse power and torque than my previously owned Z sports coupe. I keep and drive the CV70 in comfort mode which has a smooth ride. I am six feet tall and have some Arthritis in my back. The seats for me are very comfortable. I have seen a lot of people looking at the car and fielded a lot of questions at the gas station or parking lots. The exterior looks sleek and expensive. It’s important to state that I do not have the advance package, and my car still has numerous built in safety features. The only negative I could possibly mention is the in town (stop and go) gas mileage. Non stop and go is not great but not bad for this type of vehicle. I love it.

2022 GV70 Sport Prestige $65k+ MSRP Engine Problem

In February 2022 we purchased a 2022 GV70 Sport Prestige (fully loaded) with a MSRP of over $65k. (Of course due to shortages, we were price gouged, but we wanted in the front of the line with this "SUV of the Year" so we did it. We have owned Lexus' for over a decade- IS350, RX350, GS350, ES350. We have always been treated with the luxury customer care you would expect from a Japanese Kaizen experience. The Genesis drives and feels great- 375HP rivaling a Porsche Macan S (up until Porsche up'ed the Macan S this year). We drove both the Macan and GV70 and truly feel the GV70 gave us more luxury, features, and performance than the Macan. Today, with just over 6,000 miles on the odometer we were driving in our town on a 30mph roadway. Suddenly the check engine light started flashing and then the engine shuttered and began misfiring. I pulled over and the check engine light stopped flashing and then stayed on solid. I know O2 sensors are notorious for causing problems (but I hadn't filled up today) so I checked the gas cap, shut off the engine, and then restarted it. Sure enough, the light lit up again and then my wife got a text from Genesis about the vehicle having an issue. I called the Hyundai Dealership that we purchased it from and they were amazingly open on 4th of July Saturday. They said we needed to tow it in (at our expense) so we did so, over 40 miles away. Thankfully, we were provided a loaner Subaru Outback to drive and it'll be sometime next week before we learn what's wrong with it. While we understand it's a machine and machines fail, we don't abuse our vehicles, we run premium fuel in it, and baby it. If this is a Korean Super SUV's reliability, I think we are not going to own it for long.

GV70 3.5T

We bought this vehicle approximately 6 months ago and there are some quirks that drives us crazy. Setting the profiles are hit or miss you save them and when you recall things are never just right. We also noticed on long road trips when we change drivers the destination is not shared so you have to re-enter it. Then there's the promised pickup and delivery for service that is nonexistent we have two dealership and it took weeks to get the vehicles initial service done and neither offered to pickup our vehicle. It is a good looking vehicle but Genesis needs to step up their game if they want to be taken seriously as a luxury brand.
