  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hi folks!
My g70 3.3t launch edition has the check engine on for a few weeks now. The engine noise when I accelerate is very different. Sounds like a beat up Malibu! When I go on reverse, the engine will sometimes do some weird noise as if it wanted to stall. The seat bolsters won't activate when entering Sports mode neither (option is On in the menus). Brought it in last week but the techs have no clue what's going on and tell me it's normal. Fuel consumption is now through the roof (17-18 L / 100km). I'm based in Canada. Any advice on how to proceed? Am I stuck driving a car with shitty engine noise for the next few years (and a check engine light)? Feels bad.
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
Can you get the check engine light code checked and let us know what it is? Here in the states auto zone or NAPA auto parts will do a code read for free

Are there any other dealers nearby? I'm sorry but a check-engine light, increased fuel consumption, along with audible differences between stock vehicles on the lot should be a hint and half for the techs that something could be majorly @*!#ed up.
 
the dealer should be able to diagnose it if there is an active check engine code. And they should be able to tell you what the codes are and what they mean.
 
+3. OP - take it in to the dealer and leave it with them to diagnose and repair. Get a loaner while they have it. Obviously there’s some problem that they need to resolve. Your issues are not routine for a new G70, but the steps to diagnose and repair are.
