NHTSA Complaint #11477018 — 2022 GENESIS GV70

On the top trim of the Genesis GV70, with the upgraded sport break and gas pedals the ergonomics for both pedals are horrible. The gas pedal in particular requires a significant amount of force to be depressed from a normal driving position in all drive mode (except the sport modes) resulting in pain and frequent muscle contract episodes while driving- which caused be to pull off on the soft shoulder while driving on the highway as I was unable to continue driving. It has also caused prolonged pain in my Achilles tendon and I’m unable to drive the car without a leg brace, or I may experience severe muscle contract while driving which would prevent me from pressing gas all together. Its only noticeable after at least 3 weeks of constant driving, so its not something new buyers would be able to identify readily. Additionally the lower trims GV70s have different brake and gas pedals which are more ergonomic, and require significantly less force to be depressed so it wont be noticeable on those trims.
