📋Why This Matters
The presence of recalls related to the fuel system and electrical components is alarming, especially for a luxury vehicle designed with high standards in mind. The fuel pump issues can lead to a loss of drive power, which poses serious safety risks on the road. Additionally, malfunctioning seat belts could jeopardize passenger safety during accidents. This combination of factors not only affects reliability but also challenges the overall prestige associated with the Genesis brand.

SEAT BELTS
Seatbelt disengage on its own. I noticed my seatbelt disengaged the other day while I was in a drive thru. I was not driving at the moment I was waiting in the line. I know the seatbelt had been latched prior to it unlatching. I mentioned it to my husband and he said the same thing recently happened to him. Upon research I noticed this may be common with Hyundai.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
on Thursday 10/24/2024 I went to use my car which was parked in my garage and although the car was unlocked none of the doors would open. The car was completely dead and I had used it just several days before. Nothing would open doors, trunk no response from the key fob. A tow truck had to be called and the truck dragged the car out of the garage and placed dolly wheels on the front and towed from the rear to a Genesis dealer. My concern this electrical problem locked the car if a child was in the rear the only way to get the child out would be to break a window and then entry through the broken window as well as exit. The included metal key would not open the door and no access to the trunk or under the hood. The doors are electronic and power operated

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PROBLEM: It has happened multiple times (about 20-25 times since the purchase of the vehicle in November 2022), always while having the engine running from a stop (variable stop length); when pressing the gas pedal to re-initiate the running, the car doesn't respond to the pressure on the gas pedal for 1-2 seconds and usually responds again during the uninterrupted pressing of the gas pedal. It has usually happened, more frequently than not, while turning the car left or right with normal immediate initial response but 2-3 seconds later has a similar type of unresponsiveness lasting 1-2 seconds. Has been alarming to me as in several occasions vehicles have been driving against me and being afraid of a “T-bone collision”. On [XXX] I brought the car for selective Oil & Filter change (my choice) and to address such problem but Tony Vrenna informed me that the issue had to be addressed by “GENESIS DIAGNOSTICS” and I was given the Telephone Number to call and make an appointment. George, from Rick Case Genesis (Broward County, Florida), was the person taking care of such call and he did give me an appt for [XXX] and to bring the car to SERVICE (again) and talk to Tony Vrenna that day. The car was left overnight at Rick Case and checked but George could not document the problem himself and the car was returned to me. I was not advised about any further check regarding this problem as "there are no recalls thus far". I did then report the problem once to Genesis after being invited to a survey but no eventual call back or response thus far. The problem has continued to occur in occasional instances. I have not reported the problem to the police or to insurance representatives. I have not seen any warning lamps, messages or other accompanying symptoms or signs of the problem prior, during, or after the failure. It makes sense that the fuel pump failure previously recalled in multiple Genesis 2022 and 2023 model years might presumably be the cause.
