2019 GENESIS G70 Structurebody Problems

Component that failed: Driver-side mirror actuator on my 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T (power-folding, auto-dimming mirror). It intermittently malfunctions by tilting completely up or down without input, making it impossible to see out of the mirror while driving. Safety risk: Yes — this defect significantly compromises visibility on the driver’s side, especially when changing lanes or merging. It has nearly caused multiple accidents due to blind spot obstruction. Reproduction/confirmation: Yes — the issue was originally diagnosed and repaired under warranty by Genesis of Cumming in July 2023. The exact same issue has recurred. Genesis of Gwinnett has confirmed the mirror needs replacement but refuses coverage. Inspection: The vehicle has been inspected by multiple Genesis dealerships and was referred from Classic Collision (where mirror was replaced during accident repair). All agree the part is malfunctioning again, but Genesis Motor America has refused further assistance. Warning lamps/messages: There were no warning lights, but...

As I was driving my Genesis G70 on the highway last week in heavy traffic, without any warning, the sunroof exploded. It made a very loud noise and scared the hell out of me. Luckily I maintained control of the vehicle. The sunroof was closed at the time, but the violent buffeting of the sunshade let me know that there was no longer any glass above it. It was a mild 50 degree day, with no snow or ice on the ground or on the vehicles around me. I hadn't hit a pothole or anything like that, and I hadn't driven under any overpass. Nothing came through the sunshade, other than broken glass when I opened it to confirm the failure. I was able to pull over at a rest stop in the next mile or so, and inspect the vehicle. I also took pictures of what was left of...

I taken vehicle 3 times to dealer for the sunroof. When driving over ruff pavement sunroof makes clicking noises. Went this week to the dealer again and dealer stated they know about it but there is no fix. I looked in genesis forums and ggry are many complaints on the same issue.

I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MONTHS. DURING THIS TIME, I HAVE BEEN IN TWO MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST INCIDENT INVOLVED AN 18 WHEELER ON A HOUSTON FREEWAY THAT SIDESWIPED THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR RIM, WHICH EXPLODED AND I WAS TURNED THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND TRAVELED ACROSS 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC. APPROXIMATELY $12K IN DAMAGE WITH NO SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYMENT. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION WITH NO FOLLOW-UP. THE 2ND INCIDENT WAS IN DECEMBER AND I HIT A DEER RUNNING ACROSS THE ROAD. IT WAS A SQUARE HIT WITH ME GOING FROM 65 TO 0 AND THE DEER RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. AS OF TODAY, THE DAMAGE IS ALL LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND AGAIN, NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED, WITH A TOTAL REPAIR BILL OF $13.8K. THIS TIME I CONTACTED GENESIS AS THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM SAFE....
