A class-action lawsuit asserts that the Genesis GV80 can vibrate, shudder, and veer across the road while being driven at moderate speeds.
The lawsuit has been filed by Marcus W. Corwin of Corwin Law in Boca Raton, Florida. Plaintiff Dr. Barbara Feinstein claims that she leased a GV80 in February 2021 for more than $900 a month and during a 1,100-mile road trip to her home in Florida, encountered a raft of issues.
Feinstein says that the GV80 “began to dangerously shake, shudder, vibrate, and pull to the left, causing a continuous struggle to keep the SUV from veering off the road.” She claims she was driving at approximately 40 mph (64 km/h) when the issues started and upon arriving in Florida, quickly took the GV80 to a Genesis dealership.

The dealer is said to have replaced an axle and sent the car back to Feinstein’s home in Maryland. However, she states that the SUV continued to shake at speeds beyond 45 mph (72 km/h), prompting her to take it to a local dealership that proceeded to replace the driveshaft and align the suspension. Despite these repairs, Feinstein says that the GV80 continued to pull to the left and the steering wheel and headrests continued to shudder while driving.
The lawsuit adds that “Hyundai is accused of promoting the GV80 luxury SUV despite being aware of dangerous defects affecting the vehicle’s drivability that are documented in Korean news media and current customer message boards.” It calls for Genesis to buy back or repair all affected GV80 models.
