2023 GENESIS G70

Filed Apr 29, 2026


While driving my Genesis G70 on the highway in rainy conditions, the vehicle repeatedly loses traction and hydroplanes at normal highway speeds. The car begins sliding across lanes with very little control. During a prior incident, driver-assist features (lane keeping assist) were active. Rain appeared to interfere with the sensors, and the system malfunctioned by steering incorrectly. The steering wheel became difficult to control, and the vehicle attempted to steer into another lane while…

Excessive condensation in the front headlight that constitutes a safety issue during night driving. Investigation into this needs conducted. I had the passenger side replaced under warranty but now I am outside warranty and the extended coverage excludes sealed headlight components. The dealership quoted $1600.00 to replace. Excessive for a safety item that should be recalled and manufacture should be forced to correct in a recall.

This has happened to my vehicle and I am part of a Facebook group and many of us G70 owners are having the same issue. The dealerships are claiming something cracked the headlights, letting moisture in. But the headlights are not cracked…

While accelerating to highway speeds, the vehicle suddenly experienced a significant and continuous loss of power. Even with the accelerator fully pressed, the vehicle would not increase speed beyond roughly 50 mph.
