Owner report 11630107 · 2024-12-11 (December 11, 2024)
Driving on middle lane of fast freeway with kids in the car. The car began beeping lights of an electric malfunction, a 12v battery malfunction, an ICCU malfunction and then started to slow down all the way to 3 miles per hour and then it stopped in the middle of the freeway. A car behind us almost crashed into us and would have killed us. I feel very u safe and Hyundai will not do anything about it. It’s a one year old lease of a 2024 EV with barely 10k miles on it. They are not fixing in time and it also shows a recall that they didn’t accomm…

Owner report 11639430 · 2025-01-29 (January 29, 2025)
I had my first ICCU recall issue, it was taken care of at Holler Hyundai in Orlando, Florida. I don't even remember seeing a recall email sent out to me, or even a call given about the ongoing recall issues. I found out about the ICCU issues from Reddit of all places, but post after post of people detailing their issues. My concern is that there's numerous post, about EV battery failure while driving or getting ready to take a trip. Imagine getting locked out of your car in freezing temperatures? Due to it being an EV it's a lot more difficult …

Owner report 11597844 · 2024-06-30 (June 30, 2024)
This incident just happened around 9:50pm. I have a 2024 ioniq 6 SEL with 2900 miles. I lost power to my motor while going below 45 mph. The gage that shows acceleration and recharge, zeroed out, showing absolutely nothing. Once I came to a complete stop, I had to restart the car for the accelerator to work. I am on 37% charge. This is not a low charge. There were no warning lights or sounds. I had smart ventilation on as well as lane assist. The steering wheel control became very sticky as the car began to lose power. I am thankful that this w…

Owner report 11657368 · 2025-04-28 (April 28, 2025)
INCIDENT ONE: On 3/20/25 about 5 minutes after starting Climate Control on my Ioniq 6, I cleaned snow off the car and started it. As I started backing out, there was a loud warning sound and red indicators around the aerial image of the car on the dashboard. I double checked my surroundings and found no obstructions, so I continued to back out. As I began to turn the car into the direction I needed to head down the street, the car abruptly stopped. I had to put the car back into Drive and pulled forward. I checked again for snow on the bumpers …

Owner report 11643192 · 2025-02-17 (February 17, 2025)
Today, I had a scary situation on my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 limited. While backing out of a parking space, I put my foot on the brake to place the car in drive and the car kept rolling back no matter what I did and almost crash into the car park across. I was able to finally stop the car by placing it into park repeatedly. I was inches from striking the car across when it finally came to a stop. I then attempted to place it in drive again and no dice. I had to turn the car off and back on to get it to respond and place it back to drive. Anyone el…

Owner report 11703433 · 2025-12-06 (December 6, 2025)
The power system failure warning came on as I was driving up on an intersection. WhenI released the accelerator because I was in i-pedal mode (one pedal driving), the cars braking system did not activate. Consequently, I ran the red light. The car power was reduced, and I was able to pull into the parking lot of a strip mall as a police vehicle pulled behind me. After explaining our situation and receiving my traffic ticket, the officer asked me to move the car out of the driveway, but I was unable to shift the car into drive given the power w…

Owner report 11743510 · 2026-06-11 (June 11, 2026)
I experienced a safety critical failure in my 2024 Hyundai Ionic 6. While attempting to start the vehicle, the car displayed a red 12 Volt battery warning light, a battery discharge warning, and then refused to enter ready mode. The vehicle would only shift into neutral and was completely undrivable. After sitting for many hours, the vehicle started again, which is consistent with an intermittent ICCU/DC-DC converter dropout. This type of failure is known to cause loss of power and has been documented in NHTSA investigation PE23-011 for other H…

Owner report 11727674 · 2026-03-28 (March 28, 2026)
I was driving on the highway, 65mph when I had a sudden loss of power, check electrical system warning and a battery picture came on. I was reduced to approx 10mph suddenly in rush hour traffic, in the left lane, with no shoulder to pull over to. I was able, with the kindness of other drivers slowing down, able to move to the right lane, then to the shoulder. Called AAA for tow to dealership. 12v battery and ICCU damage.
