Reported Issues with the Genesis GV60

[Looney100]

Here is a confirmed issue with the 2025 GV60 and has now happened to us twice in the last two months, with less than 2k on the odo, and a vehicle that came off the delivery truck only a couple days before we bought it. The "12V battery drain after charge".

1. Plug car into home L2 charger under scheduled charging, set to begin at an appointed time per vehicle and app settings to take advantage of off-peak electric rates

2. Vehicle charges to set charging state - for us, 90% for AC charging.

3. Next morning - vehicle is dead. 12V AGM battery is completely flat. Requires a jump.

4. No DTCs, no status in the app, nothing - everything is clean and green, no issues reported.

5. After jumping vehicle, vehicle indicates 92% SoC, rather than app-limited 90% SoC.

The dealer tried to blame it on us ("maybe you didn't shut it off," "you have to lock the doors when charging"). This is the second time this issue has occurred, and after trying to condition the battery, my battery conditioner tells me "bad bat" and it won't charge past 6V. Others have reported a similar issue.

Service appointment imminent.

I’ve had this happen to me, too. Also twice, and with the SOC indicated above the limit set.
I don’t think the SOC delta is due to temperature, as in my case the incidents occurred in a climate controlled parkade where I regularly park and charge, and have never otherwise seen the delta.
My dealership said that they could see tat the car recorded the dead 12V, but were otherwise unable to diagnose.

Let us know if your dealership does any better.

One is necessary for my GV60. Been snowing a lot here lately,

The wiper is a big issue if you live where it snows which I do not, but as fancy as this car is with all the whistles and bells you would think that they would have had a rearview mirror camera.

I’ve had the GV60 through three Canadian winters and haven’t found the lack of a rear wiper to be a concern. The aerodynamics of the car keep things above the spoiler quite clear. Below it is a disaster.

What’s the perceived benefit of a rear view camera?
I’d rather a traditional mirror. It never gets dirty - unlike the cameras. Also, you can change the area seen through the mirror by just moving in the seat - not possible with a camera.

Usually when a rear view camera is added it is in addition to the traditional mirror. So there's no downside to the additional option.

Good point. I have seen a couple vehicles where that is the case.

This is in contrast to side mirror cameras - which seem to be mostly a negative, IMO.

I thought the camera would be a neat change but after having the camera view in my dash when I activate the turn signal, I now no longer want or would even tolerate a camera ALTERNATIVE to a real mirror. I found the picture in the dash to be irresponsibly inaccurate on distance and I no longer look at it (but Genesis has nicely given me the mirror, the flashing light in the mirror, and the red coloring by the correct side lines in the HUD. So no complaints from me regarding BSW.

When you just start to back out of that parking-lot spot that has a full-sized SUV on each side, your wide-angle rear view camera can see up and down the aisle for oncoming traffic or people long before you get backed out enough to see there.
It is entirely possible to block the interior rear-view mirror with either passengers or cargo.
Also, you need the rear-view cam to complete the surround-view image.

I’ve often used my vehicle with the cargo space packed to the roof. A digital rearview mirror isn’t necessary, but would be nice to have for those occasions.

There’s no debating the value of a backup camera - but that’s not what was being discussed here.

I absolutely want and demand both a rear view camera and 360 cameras. I have both in my GV60. But the post, or at least my response to it, was regarding using a camera as a replacement for the side cameras.

New GV60 (AWD Advanced) owner here. I bought the car Sunday (March 9, 2025). Drove it home. Drove it to work the next morening, and back home around lunch time. Later in the afternoon, the car was completely dead. I assume this is the dreaded ICCU failure. The car has been carried to my dealer on a flatbed truck. The two truck driver said I had the lowest mileage he'd ever seen for a failure like this.

Not a happy customer yet. :-(

Sorry about that. What is your MY? Also, do you know the manufacture date? (It’s on the driver B-pillar label plate.)

Model Year is 2025. I can't get to the B pillar since the car is 30 miles away at the dealer now.

That really stinks! I just took mine in for the second ICCU recall (only needed the software upgrade). The 025G ICCU recall covers some of the 2025 models. You can go to www.NHTSA.GoV/Recalls and input your vehicle Vin# and it will tell you if there is an ICCU recall on your specific vehicle. I would be upset if there was recall on a car I had just purchased and the dealer did not check it out before selling it to me knowing there was an active recall.

 

[Yefchak]

No recalls are shown for my VIN. Dealer server is "still testing" after six hours. No other news. :-(

 

[Yefchak]

So the dealer service has tested the battery several times (like maybe three times?) and can't get it to fail. I've asked for them to keep trying another day. Should I give up if no failure is detected, and just take my chances? Or try to get them to give me another car? (I don't know if that's even possible.)

When you stated they tested the battery, do you mean the main battery pack or the 12 volt battery? Did they inspect and test the ICCU unit? Did you log into the NTSHA website to see if there is a ICCI recall on your car? I don't think they will give you another car at this time if their testing can't find any faults.

The 12-V battery of course. I don't know if they have a way to test the ICCU itself, but they seem well aware of the 12-V / ICCU situation. As I stated earlier, the website does not list any recalls for this vehicle. And yeah, I suspect they won't just give me another car. :-(

I have had my car for over 2.5 years. People had issues with the 12v battery going back that far. Some originally thought some of the new cars were sitting around for a little while before being sold and thus they had a weak 12v battery even though the car was brand new. I actually charge my 12v battery once a week (NOCO battery charger you can buy on Amazon) as the main battery pack does not seem to keep my 12 v battery above 12.2 v by the end of the week. I would also suggest buying a cheap 12v battery tester ( on Amazon you can get a cheap one for under $20). I also carry in the car a portable 12v battery jumper just in case the 12v goes dead while travelling. They can test the ICCU and that is what they have done for the past 2 recalls. I just had mine in for the latest ICCU recall. The test will determine if a new ICCU unit (which is under the rear seat) needs to be replaced or just a software update is needed. I also had them test my 12v battery as it would drop to 12.2 v volts, which is getting on the low side. Genesis said it was fine and would not replace the battery. For over 2.5 years of checking the 12 v voltage and charging it each week, I have never had an issue with a dead battery while travelling. In my own experience I do not think my cars main battery does a very good job of keeping the 12v battery charged and that's why I keep checking it.

How many folks carry an automobile battery jump starter (essentially a large-capacity battery with "safe" terminal connections, like the ones AAA drivers carry. Would this be a reasonable thing to use when the GV60 battery dies?

Carrying a jumper battery in the frunk, along with carrying your mechanical door key with you, is great advice. And the jumper battery does not need to be "large-capacity".
