Driver assistance
I was in an accident on October 7, 2022. There was almost $5,000 in damage. Repairs were made, but several repairs were left unattended and I am put at risk of safety. The Seat Tracking was out of alignment and could not be verified by mechanic, although it was verified by the body shop. The Forward Collison Warning light comes on intermittently, as do other gauge lights, after the accident.
Stopped in a right turn lane with a vehicle in front of me stopped. It 1as a right turn with a yield sign. The vehicle in front of me started turning and pulling away, I rolled forward at about 8mph and looked left. The vehicle that was in front of me had stopped after beginning to pull away. I didn't notice. I rear ended the vehicle a white newer body style town and country mini van set up with a rear wheel chair ramp like the Braun style vans. My right front of bumper close to the emblem on the hood contacted the left rear bumper of the van. I'd say the whole left side of emblem over to edge of vehicle. No airbag deployment. But the forward collision warning didn't go off and the AEB SYSTEM also did not engage. The system seems to be functioning properly. There is no warning lights on the dash. And the system has activated before, both the forward collision warning and the AEB. …
Electrical system
Shortly after purchasing my Ioniq (roughly 2 months into ownership) my dashboard started beeping with warning signs for my EPB and auto-hold brake. I panicked and parked my car and tried to turn off the functions because I thought I had accidentally turned them on but they wouldn't turn off. This would continue at random for roughly 7 more months until it would stay on for weeks at a time. I was told there was nothing the dealership could do about it and was asked about my oil changes. I get my oil changes within the intervals set for the vehicle and it does not seem to affect if the lights come on or off. They beep constantly and also the EPB and Auto-hold features do not work when the light comes on, the fail. It's a safety risk as when I do try to engage them they don't work and makes me fearful that they will short and work at random times which is a huge concern.
The hold app doesn't work very well. Since first check up in 2022, I mentioned to garage that I have to push on button every time I need to use it as opposed to pressing on it and removing it when desired. However, not the main issue. I get in the car, Auto Hold (which usually appears when I press the button) will suddenly pop on my screen but won't work. The break won't hold, it's just there. It scares me that it has something to do with the breaks themselves in the long run. I've spoken about it twice before and the garage stated that they couldn't see it so couldn't do anything about it. The issue popped on my dashboard one day and I drove straight to the dealership. They said they had no loaner and would call me. This was more than a month ago. I'm tired of trying to get them to address the issue and hoping that I'm not the only one having it.
