Owner report 11460054 · 2022-04-07 (April 7, 2022)
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 seein…

Owner report 11461611 · 2022-04-21 (April 21, 2022)
Following DC fast charging, I found the plastic cap (dead front) on pin #7 became dislodged and is missing. This missing component could expose the operator of the vehicle to potentially harmful electrical current when charging.

Owner report 11460036 · 2022-04-07 (April 7, 2022)
We just purchased this vehicle and I found this issue. We have not had any accident. This is just an professional OBSERVATION about a potential issue. The rear carpet mat has a slick and very smooth rubber underside. This factory carpet liner sits on top of the factory carpet. With the rear fold down seats in the upright position, there is no problem but the liner does slide easily around as there is no way to attach it to the regular carpet. I asked the dealer who dosen't seem to be interested in helping with any other issues including this an…

Owner report 11507303 · 2023-02-14 (February 14, 2023)
On February 6, 2023 at approximately 9:50 a.m. I was driving my Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL northbound on CA Highway 135, Santa Maria, when I heard a loud pop coming from my car. Within a few seconds my car lost speed rapidly, from 55 mph to 25 then a second later 22 mph . I tried to accelerate - there was no response - the car maintained the 22 mph. A message appeared on the right side of the dash board in an orange circle “check vehicle system” with a small upside down triangle with letters EV also inside this circle and a “small orange battery”…

Owner report 11528266 · 2023-06-22 (June 22, 2023)
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).

Owner report 11529635 · 2023-06-29 (June 29, 2023)
I turned on the car and immediately got a "check electric vehicle system" error, and then shortly after a "stop vehicle and check power supply" error. I located a nearby dealership to diagnose and repair the vehicle, and called a tow truck to take it there. My car is parked in a garage in an alley. After the tow truck arrives in the alley, I turn on the car and get the same errors, and pull into the alley. As I'm pulling into the alley, the car start behaving very eratically, not responding well to the accelerator or steering wheel, and then wi…

Owner report 11578415 · 2024-03-20 (March 20, 2024)
My vehicle was fully charged. About 1 mile after leaving my house, I received a warning message on my display (vehicle electrical system error or similar). Shortly after I received another message that power was reduced, then finally, "stop driving". I pulled into the nearest driveway and called roadside assistance. At that point, the vehicle was COMPLETELY dead. No lights or power whatsoever. I could not activate the car to shift into neutral. I had my vehicle towed to the dealership. They said it was due to a faulty ICCU and fuse. …
