@HomerSpinson Level 400+ General Grievous here. Some things to consider:
General Grievous has a star cars that increases the lock on range of his thrust surge by 50% (epic) so this was clearly an intended feature from the devs. As for claw rush, I agree that the hit box is quite large although it can still be evaded by a dodge or roll to the side (doging forward or backward does nothing for you and will still result in you taking damage). Thrust surge, on the other hand, can be dodged quite easily, but it requires good timing which is typically only found within the more skilled players. I consistently have players who can dodge or evade my thrust surge and claw rush can actually be blocked by a lightsaber head-on.
Facing Grievous is all about situational awareness. If you are facing General Grievous there are several things you should never do. The biggest two being: trying to run away and jumping. If you run grievous can easily thrust surge or claw rush right into your back with you not being able to stop it (and this would be ypur fault for turning your back on the enemy). Jumping is probably the worst thing you can do because I know as a grievous player that anyone who jumps can neither block nor dodge my attack so that's basically an open invitation for me to thrust onto you and will likely result in your death. Grievous has the worst stamina of all the darkside saber heroes so his block and regular attack is often of little use to me so that means Grievous players must rely on his abilities, for which you must know how to counter or evade. My favorite thing is when jet troopers think they can escape by flying away but once grievous is locked on he will hit you mid-air no matter how far you've gotten (part of that whole not running away thing). The best thing you can do against Grievous is to face him head on with explosives or lots of shooting if you are a troop or attacking and keeping your distance close to him if you are a hero. Grievous really excels at a distance. I hope this helps, but the devs really shouldn't mess with grievous as he heavily relies on his abilities because his other stats are so weak.

- We're not talking about his lock on range, we're talking about the hit box for thrust surge. His hit box detection is too large and if u watched the clip u can see why. I shouldn't be expected to dodge or evade any ability when I'm that far away or especially when I'm above him like I am in that clip
- @HomerSpinson I've seen your clip and actually been on the other side of that one. On my screen it never looks like it did in that video. Probably one of those things having to do with connection and ping (mentioned in a previous post). Anyways, on my screen that lunge would take me right to your chest although, like the grievous in your video, I would get stuck on the ledge as only half of my body would be in the window and fall back down (just like in the video). So I'm not really suprised or sure this is an issue. Grievous can thrust anywhere his cursor is so if you stand up on top of a ledge with your full body exposed of course he will thrust on you. It was the ledge that saved your life. You should try playing with grievous yourself and you will see it takes more skill than you'd think.
@level_9_player have you actually watched the clip @HomerSpinson posted? Grievous targets another player and because his hit box is so large it knocks Han down aswell. The hit box should only affect a small area of the player targeted and not someone who's nowhere near him...
Yes Grievous thrust surge targets Luke down below me and because the area of the hit box is so big it knocks me down giving me damage from above. This should not happen unless DICE meant it to be anyone in a certain ratio of someone who gets hit by the surge also gets affected somehow. Before the rise of Skywalker update I could be standing right beside someone being hit by his surge and not be knocked to the ground taking damage unless I've be really lucky and all this time was supposed to
