“Headlights with lots of condensation. Apparently genesis has been having issues with their headlights. This is a safety issue especially at night. Headlights going out during the day is a minor concern but causing more electrical issue in the vehicle is a major concern, along with headlights going out at night. There should be a safety recall for genesis headlights.”Owner report · Exterior Lighting · Sep 2025
“I have had my car for almost 6 months and in that time frame twice my car while driving on the highway my car went into limp mode and was not responding. I was unable to accelerate. It was almost like I wasn’t able to control my car. All lights on the dash came on. I recieved DTC error code p061b00. My car so far has 7000 miles on it and I leased it in November 2023. After shutting the car off for a while the car would go back to normal with just the check engine light and and shortly after the check engine light would go away too. I don’t feel comfortable driving my vehicle at this point. Please help with this situation”Owner report · Power Train,Engine · May 2024
