I am writing to report a serious safety concern regarding the “Consider Taking a Break” driver alert system in my new 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited, which currently has 515 miles. This notification is presenting itself in a way that I believe creates a distraction and potential hazard while driving. The alert appears frequently and without clear justification, even when I am fully alert and in control of the vehicle. Rather than enhancing safety, it draws unnecessary attention away from the road and contributes to driver frustration. From a safe…

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.

I've owned this car for 4 months now. We own 2 electric cars, 1 ioniq 5 and 1 Fiat 500e. We have a level 2 charger in the garage. A month ago I noticed the ioniq stopped charging overnight. When I tried the next day, it charged for about 30 minutes, then I would get a msg on my phone saying charging had stopped. I can remotely start the charging again, but then it would stop every 10 or 15 minutes. This is still happening. The Fiat has no issues charging, leaving me to believe it's not the charger that is the problem. I've even reduced the char…

These cars still have problems keeping the 12v charged. Car was leased on Jan 19. 12v first died on Feb 15, took it to dealer where they trickle charged it. 12v died again on Feb 18, dealer replaced the 12v. The 12v died again on Mar 11 and is still at dealer service center. Case with Hyundai corporate was opened and the dealer is going back and forth with them. When car is left alone for 5 days, the 12v appears as needing a replacement, so there is something wrong with the system that keeps the 12v charged or there is some parasitic drain some…

The car randomly stops charging when plugged into either of my Level 2 home Juicebox 40 chargers before it reaches capacity, generally after adding another 4-8% to the battery. It was impossible for me to fully charge the car without plugging it in multiple times. The service people including the EV specialist said they hadn’t heard of this problem, and it was probably due to my charging unit at home. See the attached service and repair invoice .

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (SEL, AWD) has bad ICCU (intergrated charging control unit). Will only charge at DC chargers reliably, level 2 or level 1 chargers will only work intermittently. Has been in the shop 2 weeks with no estimated repair date as the ICCU is on backorder. This issue is affecting a lot of Hyundai/KIA/Genesis customers who's vehicles share the same platform. The dealer won't even say where I am in line to receive the ICCU vs. everyone else in North America. This is really unacceptable for a car I paid almost $60,000 for.

When using the most aggressive braking energy recovery mode in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (i-Pedal), the brake lights do not illuminate despite the aggressive nature of the braking provided by this mode. This mode brings the car to a full and complete stop and is very similar to commanded braking via the brake pedal. When using the L1-L3 braking energy recovery modes, the deceleration experienced by the car is more or less mild enough that it would be similar to a downshift in a manual transmission car. But the brake lights only illuminate if your fo…

When driving in i-Pedal, which is a "one pedal driving option", sometimes after pausing the car rolls backs several inches. This appears to be a defect with the powetrain, regenerative braking engine, or otherwise. Hyundai's dealership has been advised of this issue; they have escalated this internally. A car in drive forward should never due to electrical or software reasons be told to move backwards -- which is what is happening here.

Vehicle will hesitate/shudder and pulsate at highway speeds. Between 57mph and 78mph seems to be where I can feel it the most. This happens on all drive modes and with or without brake regeneration turned on or off. Nothing seems to make it worse or better. Here is an example. If you are driving 65mph on the highway and holding your speed steady, the car motor feels like it's cutting in and out. Juddering forward and back. If you accelerate a tiny bit, it gets ever worse. It feels almost like the input signal from the peddle is choppy, causing …

What component or system failed or malfunctioned: Rear electric motor. Specifically the "engine oil pump" that is used to cool the rear motor. The pump does not respond to MCU commands and does not cool the motor. This causes the motor to overheat after about an hour of highway driving causing the motor to provide VERY limited power. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk: When the above happens the car experiences a delayed throttle, and very little power to accelerate.

The Ioniq 5 offers a multi-level regenerative braking system, which slows the car down to varying degrees when letting off the accelerator pedal. While these systems work well to increase efficiency, the behaviour of the brake lights while in use is concerning. Very often the car is slowing considerably, enough to be akin to light braking, but the brake lights do not activate.

When using i-Pedal (one-pedal driving) mode in this vehicle, it can decelerate at a very fast rate but does not illuminate the brake lights unless the driver’s foot is completely off the pedal. For example, I can be driving 60mph and decelerate to ~2mph as quickly as other drivers coming to a complete stop, but my brake lights will not illuminate until my foot is **completely** removed from the pedal. This is contradictory to the way one-pedal driving works, since coming to a smooth and slow stop requires that you slowly lift off the accelera…

I checked Hyundai's app, Bluelink. There was a alert on Bluelink, "Attention Needed". I opened the alert and it said that there was a Diagnostic Trouble Code, DTC C123501, that originated on 6/30/24. I took the vehicle to the dealership, Hyundai of North Miami, on the next business day, [XXX]. That morning, [XXX], as I started the vehicle, as I stepped on th…

The Forward Attention Warning system in the refreshed 2025 Ioniq 5 gives constant false positives for both my wife and myself when we are driving the car. With Hyundai's HDA and lane keep active, the system keeps chiming, claiming that the driver is not looking at the road when we are. In fact, the calibration is so poor that it is a safety issue. The constant random warnings are very distracting, and sometimes the system does not recapture your eyes before timing out and hard braking the car on the highway. This is really unacceptable and …

I am reporting a suspected safety defect involving inconsistent deceleration behavior in my 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5. I regularly use Hyundai’s i-PEDAL one-pedal-driving mode. In this mode, releasing the accelerator produces strong regenerative deceleration and can bring the vehicle to a stop. However, the vehicle does not retain this selected driving behavior after it is turned off and restarted. It reverts to a mode requiring substantially more use of the brake pedal. The behavior also changes in connection with shifting into reverse. In a Cost…

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.

While driving on the interstate my 2023 Ioniq 5 SEL RWD experienced a failure with the front radar system stating that it was blocked. In reality there was nothing physically blocking the system which was verified on multiple pullovers to check the front of the vehicle. This caused the critical forward safety functions, HDA system, lane change assist functions, regeneration system, and smart cruise control to all be disabled. The car is available for inspection upon request and I have video of the car displaying the fault messages during the tr…

On April 12, 2026, I was using the parallel parking assist feature on my 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited AWD. I was parking on perfectly level ground with a parked vehicle behind the empty space I was attempting to enter. During the maneuver, the collision sensors activated, but the vehicle continued accelerating toward the parked car. I had to press the brake to stop the vehicle and avoid a collision. This created a safety concern because the system appeared to continue the maneuver despite the active collision warnings.

ODI 11767203

Several times now (over 5), we have experienced issues where our car has briefly accelerated on its own and then either (a) braked hard on its own, too, or (b) the accelerator pedal stop working until we pull over, come to a complete stop, and either park or restart the car. We have experienced this multiple times on both surface streets and on highways. When this has happened on the highway, we've had to literally merge across multiple highway lanes so we can pull over or exit , all without being able to accelerate. This has happened to both o…

I turned the car on and a red battery shaped light appeared on the dash while I was in Park. I quickly looked up what the light meant as this was not the first time I've had a warning light show up. According to Ontario Hyundai website, it's a serious electrical issue that requires immediate attention. I attempted to move my car into a safe place and tried to shift the car into drive and it would only go into neutral. Then I noticed that the AC was blowing hot air even though it was at 65 degrees. I attempted to turn the car off and it woul…

On June 6, 2026 (mileage 2500) I went to my garage to get the car to go to an appointment. I could not start the car. A battery icon flashed, in red, on the screen behind the steering wheel. The 12V battery had drained overnight. This pattern occurred twice more -- on July 9, 2026 (mileage 3100) and again on August 29, 2026 (mileage 3600). On June 6, I called for Hyundai road assistance. The tow truck driver jump-started the car and drove it onto the tow truck. He took it to Elgin Hyundai. The mechanics were able to start the car and dri…

ODI 11760015

I am reporting a suspected safety defect involving inconsistent deceleration behavior in my 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5. I regularly use Hyundai’s i-PEDAL one-pedal-driving mode. In this mode, releasing the accelerator produces strong regenerative deceleration and can bring the vehicle to a stop. However, the vehicle does not retain this selected driving behavior after it is turned off and restarted. It reverts to a mode requiring substantially more use of the brake pedal. The behavior also changes in connection with shifting into reverse. In a Cost…

ODI 11759157

While driving on the freeway with adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance on heading east into the morning sun my car suddenly attempted to veer strongly to the left as I exited the shadow of an overpass. I was able to stop the lane assist because I had a firm two handed grip on the steering wheel. Even with the firm grip and attentive driving I nearly left my lane as the wheels suddenly and strongly jerked to the left.
