Owner report 11531078 · 2023-07-08 (July 8, 2023)
The Ioniq 6 is supposed to be able to charge at 48 amps. I bought a new Ioniq 6 in early June 2023. June 12 I had the level 2 Juice Box 48 amp charger installed. At least twice (I think three times), it would stop charging after about twenty minutes , the charge port appears to be overheating in certain situations. Please have Hyundai either fix the port (or other hardware) and/or software. They may not advertise 48 amp charging when so many users are having overheating problems. They need to own this and be accountable. Precisely this ha…

Owner report 11533313 · 2023-07-19 (July 19, 2023)
I have a 2023 Ioniq 5 that was purchased in June, 2023 and an 2023 Ioniq 6 that was purchased in April, 2023. I had a new Chargepoint Home Flex charger installed in April when I purchased my Ioniq 6 and set the charging current to 40 amps. The charger was hardwired directly to my service panel with the appropriate 6 gauge wire and 60 amp breaker. My Ioniq 6 reliably charged at 40 amps until early July when it started dropping the charge rate to 23 amps about 40 minutes into my charging session when using the level 2 charger at home. My Ioni…

Owner report 11555846 · 2023-11-18 (November 18, 2023)
My Ioniq6 slowed down to 20 mph for the second time tonight. No matter how hard I pressed on the accelerator the car would not speed up past 20 mph. A message on the dashboard said “Limit: 20 mph”. Eventually the car picked up speed then said “Limit: 43 mph”. (The speed limit on University Blvd at this point was 35 mph). I did not test that, as I was almost home. This happened around 7pm on Saturday, Nov 18, 2023. My wife was in the car with me and asked why I was driving so slowly. The first time this happened, a couple weeks ago, I don…

Owner report 11560973 · 2023-12-19 (December 19, 2023)
Headlights do not illuminate the road properly, there are dark spot in front of the car specially on the driver side. Making a turn there is ZERO visibility ( almost went into the median road ) because I do not see anything on the sides. The headlights do not " flood the road " Hyundai say this about the headlight and is very misleading. I drive a lot specially at night I am afraid to drive the car like that. A 2023 52k should not have these issues. BIG safety issues. To have a dealer check the car out I have to wait a month, so I am waiting. P…

Owner report 11561700 · 2023-12-24 (December 24, 2023)
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…
