  • Recalls: None Found
• Automatic Climate Control Issues
  • Description/Symptoms: Issues with the automatic climate control system failing to maintain a consistent temperature, blowing hot air when it should be cold, or vice versa. Some owners report inconsistent airflow from vents.

Summary

The 2024 Genesis GV70 appears to have relatively few widespread issues, particularly concerning major mechanical components like the engine and suspension. The most frequently reported complaints revolve around electrical glitches (infotainment system and sensors) and minor interior issues like rattles. Transmission issues (harsh shifting) do appear, but are not consistently reported. Many of these problems are often addressable through software updates or component replacements under warranty, but could become costly repairs out of warranty. Overall, the GV70 presents a decent ownership experience, but potential buyers should be aware of these potential electronic and minor mechanical problems.
