“On XXX, at approximately 10:14 AM, my husband, [XXX], was backing our 2025 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport out of our garage at [XXX]. He states that the gas pedal felt stuck and that he could not get his foot off the accelerator. The vehicle accelerated in reverse across our driveway, struck our mailbox, crossed the street, struck a Comcast cable box, crossed the grass between two homes, struck landscaping shrubs, and finally struck a tree in a wooded area, where it came to rest (Ocean Township Police Report #XXX my husband's statement that the pedal felt stuck is recorded in that report). Fortunately, no one was injured. There was property damage to the mailbox, the cable box, and a neighbor's landscaping. I requested an investigation from Genesis Motor America (Case #XXX).

The car accelerated on its own and I had to slam on the breaks. I was very scarred. I did not see a warning light in dash. 2) I was pulling away from a stopped position after my car was running for 15 minutes. The car would not move and the RPMs went up to four. After five seconds, the car finally moved. 3) the car would barely accelerate after first starting it. After driving a mile, I pulled over and restarted the car. This was the only time I saw the “a” warning light go to “yellow”. 4) after driving a while, the infotainment system went black and the radio volume increased to max. I could not turn the volume down even with the manual controls. After 10 minutes the screen came back but I still didn’t have control of the volume. I pulled over and restarted the car and it fixed the problem. Today, XXX, I went to the dealer (Genesis of [XXX]) and told them all of the above and how scared I was with the acceleration. They set up an appointment for two weeks from now and said it…”
