  • 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.

Newbie here: is this what they are recalling? Lack of power?

My 2020 G70 has always hesitated when I stepped on the gas. Really unnerving crossing traffic. I brought it in for a recall yesterday that I didn't pay much attention to. I mentioned that the car has been doing this hesitation and the tech agrees and they are charging me $1300 to fix it.
This is what the estimate says:
LACK OF POWER- REPLACE SPARK PLUGS, AND PERFORM FUEL INDUCTION/FUEL INJECTION SERVICES
LACK OF POWER- REPLACE SPARK PLUGS, AND PERFORM FUEL INDUCTION/FUEL INJECTION SERVICES TO CLEAN CARBON DEPOSITS

But I see on this FORUM that there is a recall for what sounds exactly like my problem!
Isn't this the same thing? I am probably wrong about it but need to ask. Thank you for your expertise!!

Here it is:

Hyundai’s latest recall is for more than 54,600 examples of its Elantra N, Kona N and Veloster N models, as well as G70 sedans from its luxury arm Genesis. The recall involves the vehicles’ fuel pump, which may fail and cause the vehicles to lose drive power.

Affected vehicles include model-year 2019-22 Veloster N hatchbacks, model-year 2019-23 G70 sedans, and model-year 2022-23 Elantra N sedans and Kona N SUVs. The fuel control valve in the high-pressure fuel pump of these vehicles may allow excess fuel to enter the pump due to wear of the fuel control valve plunger. The issue could eventually cause a loss or reduction of drive power at low spe
eds, increasing the risk of a crash.
