Problem overview

Some Genesis GV80 owners report experiencing engine shutdown while on cruise control, accompanied by the activation of the check engine light. This can be a concerning issue, as the check engine light may indicate a range of problems, from minor issues like a loose gas cap to more serious concerns that could cause significant engine damage. Ignoring the check engine light can exacerbate these problems over time, as it signals that a fault has been detected by the vehicle's computer and requires prompt attention. Additionally, some owners have noted that the check engine light may activate due to a small evap leak, which, while not directly affecting drivability, still necessitates inspection. Furthermore, engine shutdown could potentially be linked to factors such as sour gas contamination. To prevent further complications and ensure optimal performance and safety, it is crucial for owners experiencing these issues to have their Genesis GV80 inspected by a qualified mechanic.
