Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Engine

16 reports1 crash
“The vehicle experienced difficulty starting, followed by the engine nearly stalling. Immediately afterward, diagnostic trouble code P0087F0 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low) was triggered and stored as an open code. This indicates the fuel rail/system pressure dropped below the level needed for normal engine operation, meaning the engine was not receiving adequate fuel. The failed component appears to be the fuel delivery/fuel pressure system (fuel pump or fuel rail). The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety may be put at risk because the engine nearly stalled while driving, which could cause a sudden loss of power in traffic, while merging, or at highway speed. The problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealer; I have an appointment scheduled but the earliest availability was approximately one month out given the severity of the symptom. There were no prior warning lamps or messages before this incident. The trouble code and symptoms (hard starting, near-stall) appeared together for the first time on the date of this incident. I am also aware that other 2022-2023 Genesis GV70 owners have reported this identical P0087F0 code with…”
