Consumer Description

Experienced acceleration problem with my brand new Genesis GV70, only 7 mos. old. I backed car out of garage and onto my street, put car in "drive" and pressed down on gas to move forward, but car would not accelerate. This was only for a split second, and then it started to accelerate. It was strange, though, and had never happened before. I continued on my route and as I was entering an onramp to get on freeway, car would not accelerate again. Car maintained 20mph speed but would not go any faster as I pushed down on the gas peddle. I was able to pull off to side of the ramp. I turned engine off and restarted car, tried to move forward again, but again would not accelerate. Turned car off again, restarted, and this time, I was able to accelerate. Very scary to think of this happening if I was already on freeway with cars going 70+mph. I took car to dealership and they checked everything out, and did not find anything wrong with the car. They were not able to replicate the issue. I am now concerned because I was not imagining this happening and it was very scary. I am aware that some prior year Genesis models had problems like this and Genesis/Hyundai have issued recall notices, but not for my 2023 model. It seems to me that there is still an issue with the 2023 models, as I have read of similar cases like mine on several genesis owner forums. I don't know how many people have to report the issue before it is deemed a safety concern. Does someone have to be severely injured or die first? I am afraid to drive my brand new car.
