My Ioniq 6 Limited AWD experienced a phantom braking event in a covered parking lot with no cars or pedestrians anywhere near the front of my car. The car just stopped suddenly with a warning message "Emergency Braking", and it wouldn't allow me to proceed until I turned off the car and then turned it back on. Fortunately, there wasn't a car close behind me at the time, but it could have triggered a rear end collision. Prior to this phantom braking incident, but on the same short drive, I noticed that the car incorrectly showed a red line in…

Owner report 11573010 · 2024-02-20 (February 20, 2024)
On the afternoon of February 12, 2024 (5:12pm), I was driving northbound on I-71 at highway speed, approximately 75mph. My Hyundai Ioniq 6 alerted me of a (non-existent) impending front-end collision, and within 1 second of the alert starting, the automatic emergency braking system activated. This resulted in the violent (and unexpected) braking of my car to around 25mph. There was no clear reason for the collision detection alert or the automatic emergency brake. The light was good and there was no significant weather. There were no vehicles i…

Owner report 11573025 · 2024-02-20 (February 20, 2024)
While driving in the highway I took my foot off the accelerator and despite one pedal driving being on the car did not brake. I then tapped the brake. When I then pushed the accelerator to keep up with traffic, nothing happened. I checked the screen for warning lights. The car had none. The accelerator pedal was non responsive causing a huge safety issue for me and others on the road as the car was now just cruising as I was approaching a hill..I had to turn on my hazards and get over into the shoulder of the highway along the bridge at night. …

Owner report 11678124 · 2025-08-03 (August 3, 2025)
I was crossing the Mackinac Bridge, northbound, this afternoon, at the time traveling over the bridge deck's grates in the left lane. Traffic was backed up and I was traveling in the single-digit MPH. There was more that a car's length between myself and the next car ahead, and as I accelerated a little bit to close the distance my emergency braking activated. Fortunately, the car behind me was trailing by a little bit and was also traveling slowly.
