2025 GENESIS GV70 Engine Problems

When I press the gas pedal halfway or 3/4 nothing happens - which is really bad in heavy traffic situations. On the highway, I floored it and the RPM was racing but it wouldn't shift up, so the engine was racing but there was no acceleration at all. I backed off and accelerated lightly, it would speed up. Scary. I have stomped on the accelerator it will rev to between 4 and 5 thousand rpms never up shifting or accelerating. Happens to frequently and I only have 11,000 miles on the vehicle. Genesis service can't locate the issue.

The vehicle has 1500 miles on it. I was driving around 40mph when the engine suddenly lost power and the immobilization light appeared. I was no longer able to accelerate. I coasted to a side street where the vehicle placed itself in Park. I restarted the vehicle and it worked. The next morning, the vehicle would not start and the immobilization light was present again. After checking the key fobs and battery, roadside assistance and I could not find the issue. Remote start from the app also did not work. It was towed to the dealer for assessment which is where it currently sits. If this happened on my regular highway route, I would possibly be stranded in the middle of the highway endangering me and others.

I am writing to report a serious safety incident involving my 2025 Genesis GV70 and to formally demand a replacement with an identical new vehicle of the same make and model. My current vehicle, which has approximately 3,100 miles on the odometer, experienced catastrophic safety failures on [XXX] in Northern Virginia that could easily have resulted in a severe accident. While driving on a very busy road, my vehicle suddenly became unable to accelerate beyond 5 miles per hour despite fully depressing the accelerator pedal. This dangerous malfunction forced me to pull over into a parking lot for safety. Upon attempting to restart the vehicle, I encountered another serious issue: the engine continued to turn over even after removing my finger from the ignition button. Due to these severe safety defects, I am explicitly requesting and will accept nothing less than a complete replacement with a new 2025 Genesis GV70...
