Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the pedestrian warning system was inoperable while reversing. Additionally, the contact stated that the battery was 92 percent charged; however, while driving 30-40 MPH, the message "Electric Power Failure" was displayed. The contact turned off the heater and the radio and continued driving. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the message "Electric Power Failure - Stop Immediately" was displayed and several alarms sounded. The contact notified the dealer and was informed to drive the vehicle to the residence and the vehicle would be picked up. The contact stated that while driving to the residence, the failure recurred, and the vehicle failed to respond upon depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill. The contact became aware that the vehicle had lost electrical power. …
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that while driving at 50-60 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance and Lane Assist warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the instrument cluster went blank. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The manufacturer sent a technician to diagnose the vehicle. The technician stated that the VCU, battery, ICCU, and high-voltage battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 19,000.
I was coasting into a library parking space with my foot off the accelerator. The car accelerated even with my foot on the brake, jumped a curb and was stopped with above ground tree roots. The dashboard should have been lighted up with collision warning indicators and the automatic braking should have engaged. It did none of that. The car was totaled. Nothing was ever checked to see if it was a mechanical error. My insurer totaled the car.
ABS or All wheel Drive did not seem to work while driving on a Highway, and I tried to stop as there was another vehicle on the road which was spinning out of control. If ABS was activated, the car would have stopped, and similarly if All wheel Drive was working, car would not have spun out of control.
I parked the car end visited a store. Upon turning the car back on, the car freaked out and indicated that I needed to "Stop vehicle and check brake system." At the same time, the check engine light illuminated and the car entered limp home mode. CEL codes C164286 & C238001 appeared. The next day I brought the car to a Hyundai dealer who "fixed" the issue by removing a component that is unrelated to the braking and security systems and the car became drivable again for ~300 miles. I then went on two business trips and returned home. I drove the car and it again experienced the same error upon turning the car on. The braking system still functioned, but all electronic features were disabled by the car and braking involved a lot of force on the brake pedal to get the car to stop. …
ICCU stopped charging my auxiliary battery (Hyundai Ioniq 5). I couldn't figure out why, but I began carrying a portable charger with me which instantly got my car going again. One day during a particularly nasty snow storm, my battery was dead again and I jump started my car. I drove it about 40 feet before I realized it needed snow socks. I stepped out of my car and got back in and a whole myriad of warnings were going on. I got a code for the vent flaps (snow had got stuck in there...that was an easy fix. Also my Auto Hold light, Check ABS light, and Smart Cruise Control warning indicator lights were all on and are still two months later still not working. The car otherwise operates well enough to drive as I replaced the auxiliary battery. Since replacing the battery, the car operates as well as the ICCU (it charges the new battery) but the previous issues remain.
I started my car up right after charging on a rainy day at 2500 miles exactly and got 5 warnings. Check battery, lane assist warning, abs warning, parking brake warning, forward collision warning and bling spot collision avoidance warning lights were on. More or less all these systems triggered a fault. I tried turning it off and on to no luck. As I drove to the dealer my breaks became steadily lighter and lighter with the manual break even clicking at times. My breaking distance was doubled by the time that i got there. Other owners are seeing the same issue. It sounds quite similar to the Kona Electric recall (20V-748). My car is unsafe to drive.
Hyundai's connected car service (bluelink) suffered an outage that resulted in driver profiles on many Hyundai vehicles being deleted/reset. No notice was provided and the profiles were not recovered. As a result, the vehicles did not funtion as expected. Driver assist settings were set to default (steering, braking, and acceleration functions included). Hyundai provided instructions on how to set up a new profile in response rather than restoring the customer data to their personally owned hardware (car).
I was driving on the highway using advanced highway assist and the car became completely unresponsive. I was traveling 75mph on a major highway with a semi behind me and one to my right in the slow lane. The car stopped accelerating and I was unable to resume driving. I was forced to coast to a stop on the side of the highway. I had my daughter with me and were I not able to safely maneuver between the semi trucks, we could have been killed or seriosuly injured in a high speed crash.
- EV Fuse blown My Hyundai Ioniq5 EV electrical system stopped function on March 25th, 9 month after we purchased this EV, on a busy highway. It took Hyundai dealer 8 weeks to fix this issue. Due to the fix report, some fuse was blown. - Automatic Emergency Braking engaged On Jun 16th, when driving on HW 90 west bound, road was clean. No vehicle in front of me. The "Automatic Emergency Braking " was engaged. This could be very dangerous if the highway was busy.
