Overview

2024 Genesis G90

The 2024 Genesis G90 offers a luxury sedan experience with a potent 3.5L V6 engine and all-wheel drive. However, used shoppers should be aware of significant early-life reliability concerns. Six recalls have been issued, with a particular focus on the electrical system, instrument cluster, and forward collision avoidance systems. A critical complaint details sudden, unintended braking at highway speeds, a serious safety risk that persisted despite dealership attempts at repair. This suggests potential systemic issues with the G90's advanced driver-assistance technology.

Critical Failure Risk

Reports indicate issues with Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Blind Spot Detection. A significant concern involves sudden, unintended braking at highway speeds, potentially caused by radar or sensing system faults. This poses a severe safety risk.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$2,500 repair.
