Gv70 windshield rock chips

Got my 1st rock chip today

My experience with the windshield mfg is I had one on my MB. It is lousy glass, chips easy! Anyone else have problems with their windshields chipping easy?

Are they still $2-3,000? I would like to know because I'm paying $400/year for glass insurance.

It seems like most people have overlooked the fact that the GV70 has laminated acoustic glass on the windshield and front door windows (and on the rear door windows in the top trim). Naturally acoustic glass is going to cost more than regular glass, and is likely to be less readily available. Acoustic glass also reflects IR and UV rays, allowing only natural light to pass through. I haven't had any issues so far with any of my GV70s' windshields. *fingers crossed*

Where did you hear this? The windshield glass has to be laminated - "acoustic" or not - it's the law required by NHTSA. And the idea that it reflects IR and UV rays - well - regular glass filters out most of the UV all by itself with no magical properties involved. The only way to reflect IR rays would be a vacuum coating engineered to reflect them, and that would be quite visible in the windshield. That statement sounds like something a service adviser, or dude at the counter at Safeway would say - basically talking out of their butts.

The side glass on the Prestige is "laminated" acoustic glass - just the lamination lessens (but doesn't eliminate) the transfer of sound from the outer glass to the inside glass, it's not magic, euro cars have had it as an option for decades. Dunno on the sunroof (probably since laminated glass rather than tempered would make more sense there, something dropped on it would be less likely to penetrate laminated glass) or rear-hatch (maybe..)

I've gotta remember to look when I go out to the car later - but my WAG is - the glass in the 2024 GV70 models is US glass right from the factory since the GV factory IS in Alabama, and there are several huge auto-glass manufacturers in the US so it wouldn't make any sense to import glass from Korea for a car built in the US. I bet in Korea there are guys complaining about the crappy US glass in their GV70's..

In case anyone forgot - ALL 2024 GV70's (for sale in the US) are manufactured in Alabama. ALL BMW SUVs worldwide are manufactured in South Carolina - I expect we'll see the same from Genesis eventually.

So laminated glass in the windshield is there for impact protection. There is a vinyl layer in between two panes of glass that behaves like a catcher's mitt if something hits it. Its purpose is to absorb impact and to remain bonded to the glass if it breaks. The glass is not strengthened (tempered) like most side, rear, and sunroof glass. Putting laminate in a sunroof may prevent the glass from shattering or falling into the cabin, but it would be a lot more prone to breakage. Just like the windshield is.

The laminated driver/passenger windows are considered and upgrade because it reduces sound transfer. I've been working in glass for 20 years and technically these acoustic layers work. The difference isn't huge, but it's there so long as the seal around it is very tight.

Regarding thickness, yes glass has gotten thinner. The measurement I got when I tried reading the windshield was 4.7mm. For reference, my 1970 Corvette windshield that is 7.1mm. So each pane of glass in the windshield is just over 2mm (not sure how thick the laminate interlayer is). Yes this glass will be more delicate than the 3mm or so versions from years back. Every square foot of 1mm glass weighs about 1/2lb

Long story short - yes glass has gotten thinner over the years. It will be somewhat more prone to breakage because it's thinner and less likely prone to breakage because of glass quality. There are still strength ranges that glass can be within to be acceptable, so theoretically is likely to vary batch to batch.

BTW the laminated driver/passenger glass in the GV70 is 4.1mm thick. So each of those glass panes are each less than 2mm thick.

Yes, a rock hit my windshield and in minuets the star from the rock turned into a full blow streak across the windshield. Had to purchase a new windshield. Today, I’m on my second rock chip. I’ve had my previous cars for years (10+) and they still have rock chips that do not streak across the windshields as quickly. all I can say is the material on the windshields is not durable.

I'm in the same boat. Where did you go? I got an estimate from Safelite and Auto Glass Now. Safelite is going to be around $900 after $90off code while AGN is going to be around $800 after their code. I'm wondering if the aftermarket windshields are going to be better than OEM because this is my second chip. I haven't even asked the dealership because I can assume it will be double the price. And maybe OEM is inferior glass.

so after almost three years the ICCU got me

I was driving to visit with my son and grandkids when I got the dreaded message of an electrical failure and direction to pull over and park the car. About fifteen miles from home and from the dealership. Annoying since the car had just been in for the ICCU recall. It was a Sunday and it took hours for Genesis to find me a tow truck and driver. Of course the dealership was closed (at least the standalone service part) so I had to UBER home.

Now I am driving an almost new GV70 with the 2.5 liter engine. What a dog! No longer having a GV60P with its more than 500 foot pounds of torque the acceleration from a stop is awful. I am going to have to recognize that my acceleration is so comparatively slow. The loaner also has no HUD which I have become accustomed to and rely upon. My service advisor told me that they only have one electric loaner but he is putting a tag on it so that when it comes back they can switch me out to it.

This makes me realize how much I do love my GV60P and want it back. But it may be a while. My service advisor told me that they are not even taking cars into the shop today for repair. There is a 48 hour delay on that because of a backup. He said that was because there are only three Genesis dealerships in the Valley. IMO that is a BS excuse. There are only 4 BMW dealerships in the area and they are able to service their customers (I assume based on my prior experience as a BMW owner).

It will be interesting to see how long they keep it and that may determine whether in the future I stay with Genesis or move on. If they are going to be keeping my little pocket rocket for an extended period, I would want a loaner that is at least equal to what I gave them to repair!

They got back to me today confirming that it was indeed the ICCU as well as a fuse that will be replaced under warranty. Hopefully this replacement goes smoothly, my new 12V is okay, and this can be put in the past. I will ask about what part number they replaced it with when I pick up the car.

That’s all good. I bet it was the fuse rupturing (with 700V DC at virtually unlimited current into a sudden dead short!) that created the smoke and smell. Also I believe the fuse is external to an otherwise fully sealed ICCU box.

Will be very interesting to see if the replacement ICCU part number supports the new revised hardware ICCU rumours. If so, that should mean you’re unlikely to see this issue again. Fingers crossed. Peter.

Okay so I got my vehicle back. Here's the diagnosis:

- FOUND PA19096 DC/DC CONVERTER INPUT VOLTAGE SENSOR FAILURE (I think this is a typo for P1A9096)
- FOUND ICCU SHOWING SIGNS OF OVER-HEATING AND HAS LIKELY FAILED INTERNALLY UNDER SEALED COVERINGS
- REMOVED AND PERFORMED INTERNAL RESISTANCE TEST OF FUSE, FOUND FUSE BLOWN, OL RESULT ON DVOM
- REMOVED AND REPLACED ICCU AND HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE

The replacement part is coded as "36400-1XCA0A" which is different than the original I found online for my 2023 MY ("36400-1XCA0", missing trailing A). They also replaced the HV fuse and all work was done under warranty (thank you Genesis Canada

).

Other than the hardware failure itself, the experience from Genesis Roadside through to the Genesis dealership was super nice. Took about 1 week end-to-end, failure was on a Sunday so Monday to Monday (I picked it up Tuesday morning).

When my 2023 ICCU blew, they replaced it with the same model number ending in 1XCA0. Starting with the 2024 model they begin using the newer ICCU 1XCA0A. I don't beleive that I've heard of any GV60 ICCU's going bad on the models 2024 and forward?

Car is locked. Standing near by-5ft. When pressing and holding the remote start button, key fob flashes once and then nothing happens.

Probably not your issue, but in case you did not know, as you can see from speeders message, you must push the lock button on the key fob first ....and then within a few seconds, push and hold the start button. You must push the lock button even if our car is already locked.
Again, I am not trying to offend you with something you probably already know, but you did not mention pushing the lock button first before pushing the start button in your message and sometimes we miss the littlest things.
I hope you get it worked out.

Mods Under Warranty

I just bought a 2019 genesis g70 3.3t in august and wanted to add a few things to it now that it's starting to get nice outside. Does anyone know what mods you can do without voiding your warranty? I would assume you wouldn't be able to mess with any main engine components, but would I be able to put an exhaust on without the warranty being voided?

If you want to be safe, I'd call a dealer and speak to their service manager about Genesis/Hyundai's stated position on mod's. I don't know if it's written in any of the documentation we get. I would also ask about any specific mod's you had in mind and if the dealer has any discretion.
I come from an Audi background. Audi had clear guidance for dealers with wide ranging restrictions on mods. They were required to add a flag to the VIN if any restricted mods were found and this "TD1 flag" would stay with the car. Lot's of guy's had warranty work excluded. Some dealers however were mod friendly and would make certain exceptions.
The idea that an intake or exhaust mod might not be related to a particular engine issue would make no difference...warranty denied. Given the potential for expensive warranty work to be denied, I would not just rely on a few forum comments.

I am purchasing from CarMax and I know their MaxCare warranty typically covers mods which came with the car so they would have to prove I did the mods I assume?

My 340i had a modified front end which wasn’t installed correctly and killed both headlights from moisture getting into the light casings and they covered it no questions asked.

Didn’t even charge me the deductible.

As with any insurance or warranty, you need to read the fine print rather than assume. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is the actual wording in your coverage.

Hi all, I'm experiencing the issue with my G70 that is systemic across their fleet models 2015-2024 (at least) of the ultrasonic weld and/or mounting screws on the headlights causing a major water leak. I'm about to take my car into the dealer and currently had made the following mods to the vehicle: Afe Twin Takeda cold air intakes, JB4, 2 step colder plugs, BMS oil catch can, TIAL BOV (Blow Off Valve), under-glow, and a Skar sound system. I am also concerned about the 'mods' being a point that the dealership attempts to dismiss the claim. I have pictures of the water leak, pictures of cracks from the mounting screws being factory over-torqued, a video of the front-end being perfectly aligned with the rest of the bottom, plenty of clearance (zero contact) between the headlight assembly and modded parts, the actual TSB (Tech Service Bulletin) covering the issue, diagnosis, and when warranty covers it. I'm prepared to argue and fight the good fight, but I'm hoping I don't have too. I have scoured online forums, like this, and noticed it's a mixed bag as far as if you get it or if you have to fight (even with modding). Does anyone have any advice they could throw my way?

You should be OK with this issue. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 protects you in many cases. If the modification caused the problem, yes, but putting in a different air intake should not affect headlight problems.

How can a car with so few miles be so deteriorated? I have a Honda Odyssey with 200K and the suspension is still OK. Anyway, anyone else have these problems and have you been able to get any sort of Genesis help to resolve the issue?

Hyundai Genesis 2010 4.6L Service Manual

Hello GenesisOwners!

I came into my Genesis last August with 100K miles on her and she's a blast. As with all my vehicles I try and get a hold of the service manual so I can work on them with a semblance of knowing what I'm doing. Combing through these forums I found some dead links for the 2009/2010 service manual. I was wondering if anyone had been lucky enough to grab a copy of it while it was available and could send me/post the manual again? I looked through the 2009 manual that OneFunGenesis posted to his dropbox but I fear that the differences between the 2009 and 2010 are too much. I'm specifically trying to do some electrical work. Much appreciated fellers

Help with intermittent electric power steering failure causes and fixes

Hi. I'm usually on Genesis Owners about my 2019 G90, but today I need some help troubleshooting my son's 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8. The local Hyundai dealer refuses to work on it despite it being a Hyundai (they don't have the Genesis dealership) and previously selling them, as they say they've had "bad luck working on them". Same for the dealer an hour South. The dealer at which I bought my G90 has the worst customer service of ANY business I've ever done business with, despite going through a new service manager every year. I cannot get a return call (of someone on the phone) while they have my car last time for 8 of the 12 weeks they had it, and in the end, they still didn't get the trunk issue I've had since purchase fixed. So, they're not an option. The next closest is Cool Springs in South Nashville, 3.5 hours away, but just drove by them today and it looks like the shop is in a complete demolition/rebuild.

My son has tried to troubleshoot this himself by purchasing a code reader and even dropped it for a few weeks at the local import car maintenance shop, and got a call that they could not reproduce the complete lack of power steering that happens unpredictably.

He is thinking of purchasing a used electric power steering rack (he says this is the first year or two the Genesis had electric steering rather than hydraulic) and just getting the local import dealer to replace it for him.

Is intermittent failure of the electric power steering a known issue with these vehicles? If so, what are the potential causes? He has looked at the service manual documents but doesn't want to tackle it himself. He thinks it may be a network/communications problem since the steering motor works fine when it is working.

The error codes he's getting haven't been helpful.

Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Regards,

Justin

My first stab at it would be to disconnect the electrical connections related to the unit and inspect for corrosion. Clean them up with some de-ox spray and maybe put a little dielectric grease on the seals on the connectors and then re-mate them. See if that makes any difference with the issue. Are the under-covers still installed? I've heard of problems developing with the steering when the undercover is left off.

Just got a call and email with video showing issues. The video shows the voltage measured at the electrical connections to be as expected in the service manual. They are quoting him $8,000 to replace the "MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING MODULE". The car is only worth $9000 sold to an individual in great condition, and much less if traded in. It doesn't make sense to replace the steering module at this price.

My son looked the part up online and can get one for $1000, but none of the independent shops in my area are willing to work on the car. In fact, the local Hyundai dealers in my hometown of Tupelo, MS and an hour away in Columbus, MS refused to work on the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, even though it is a Hyundai! The dealer that it is with now is two hours away.

Does anyone know of any independent shops in Memphis, TN or Birmingham, AL that would tackle replacing the power steering module?

Or, is there a part of the steering module that can be replaced or overhauled, such as a bad electric motor, without replacing the entire assembly?

My son has decided to purchase a used electric power steering module ($500) and attempt to install it himself. This part cannot be purchased new from Hyundai, only as a complete electric steering rack with motor and control module. The Hyundai tech told him that the voltages measured at the module were within spec, which makes failure of the control module most likely.

I wonder if any programming will be required to make the replacement module work correctly?

Car floor mats

I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’m having a problem putting my floor mats back into my 2025 G70. I removed them easily enough by pulling them down from the top but cannot seem to snap them back in. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
