Common-issue data is not available yet.
Owners of 2021 through 2025 GV80 models, especially 2021 to 2023, report dead 12V batteries, infotainment screen freezes or crashes, false dashboard warning lights, and faulty sensors. These electrical failures can leave the vehicle unable to start, strand the driver, or disable driver-assistance and comfort features. No reliable repair cost estimate is available from the cited data.
The 2021 model year is the most affected, with complaints involving engine stalling, loss of power while driving, fuel leaks, and difficulty starting. These issues are serious because unexpected stalls contributed to 5 reported crashes and one reported fire. The research does not provide enough cost data to estimate a typical repair price.
The 2021 and 2026 model years show forward collision avoidance as a top complaint area, with symptoms including phantom braking and failure of the system to activate during an imminent collision. Phantom braking can cause rear-end collisions, while non-activation removes a critical safety feature. No defensible repair cost is provided in the research.
For the 2021 model year, airbag system issues are among the top complaint categories. Symptoms include illuminated airbag warning lights, intermittent airbag system errors, and owner concerns about possible non-deployment in a crash. This could result in reduced occupant protection during a collision. The cited research does not include repair cost information.
