2022 Genesis GV80 problems: engine and transmission complaints and recalls
53% of relevant owner complaints filed with NHTSA on the 2022 Genesis GV80 are about the engine, transmission or fuel system. That is a model-level pattern, not bad luck.
Worse than 69% of the 1,790 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 6 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 45%).
Does the 2022 Genesis GV80 have engine problems?
Owner complaints say yes, as a model-year pattern. 20 of 38 relevant complaints filed with NHTSA about the 2022 Genesis GV80 concern the engine, transmission or fuel system (53%), and the largest group is filed under engine (13). For comparison, the 2021 scores 36% and the 2023 scores 32%. On a test drive, check for stalling, loss of power, rough idle, oil consumption or a check-engine light. This describes the model year, not any one car: a well-maintained or already-repaired example can be fine, and a clean model year can still have a bad car in it.
