Each of the other 75 G70 runs has 3 complaints or fewer. ForCar has checked 70 G70 VINs so far, most often 2023, 2025, 2022 builds; 4 of them belong to one of the 12 runs above.
Which model years to check twice
Complaints per production run, so a year that simply sold more does not top the list. On the Genesis G70 the gap between build years is 1.3×: a 2019 car draws 1.6 complaints per run, a 2021 one 1.2.
| Year | Per run | Complaints | Runs | Crashes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 3 | 3 | 1 | |
| 2023 | 23 | 14 | 3 | |
| 2022 | 31 | 16 | 1 | |
| 2021 | 6 | 5 | 1 | |
| 2020 | 13 | 9 | — | |
| 2019 | 62 | 39 | 6 |
Heaviest year here is 2022 at 1.9 complaints per run; lightest is 2024 at 1. The 2024 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
