Mainly, climate controls, outside cameras, and oil change reminders.
1. My 2013 Ford Escape displayed the current outside temperature on the main screen for all passengers to view...very handy instead of constantly asking the driver what the reading on the dash is.
2. With ALL the outside cameras on the car showing everything, why don't you install a memory of some kind which would record the last minute of driving and what has occurred? If the car were in an accident, freeze that memory to viewing on a flash drive. Very helpful in an accident and would show who is at fault.
3. Climate controls are difficult to change as they are too sensitive, and due to the constant motion of the car, it's difficult to touch the correct button when you are attempting to make adjustments.
4. The center storage bin is next to impossible to reach into, as your elbow keeps hitting the raised lid...a side opening top would be better/easier.
5. It would be nice if you redesigned the doors so a person could rest their arm/elbow on the sill while riding in the vehicle. They are too sloped right now.
6. Poor design on the automatic dehumidifier in the car. On cold mornings, the AC kicks on to dehumidify the car (not needed) and makes the car even colder inside.
7. Storage webbing on the back of the front seats looks cheap. Leather or vinyl pouches look much more finished and would go along with the otherwise high quality of the interior finishing.
8. We own TWO of these GV70's which are parked in a very tight garage. Trying to get around them is difficult and door are constantly locking/unlocking and mirrors are flying in and out. There must be a solution for walking next to the car and not having it react when you accidently rub against the door handle.
9. In order for the rear seat passengers to have ANY leg room, the front occupants must move their seats almost all the way forward making the available room very tight.
10. Sometimes it hesitates when accelerating from slow speeds as it tries to find which gear it wants, with 8 to chose from.
11. A rock hit one of my two radiators causing it to lose all fluid. Car drove in 'limp' mode. I had no idea what was wrong as there were not alarms or warning messages on the dash or I would not have kept driving it. The dealer in San Diego (Only dealer in 100 mile radius) could not get the car in for a repair/diagnosis for 4 weeks! I drove it to Palm Springs who got me in within 2 days. I did not even know the car had 2 radiators and I had to replace the water pump. Expensive rock with nothing to protect the lower radiator. Not happy.
12. Required oil change intervals are all screwed up. Reminders were factory set for every 5,000 miles. But I guess Genesis decided that was too expensive, providing regular pre-paid oil changes until 36,000 miles or 3 years. So they stretched the interval out to 8,000 miles so they wouldn't be responsible for changing the oil so often at their expense. But getting the reminders constantly on the screen and dash is annoying.
