2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6: complaints, problems and recalls

Within one month of purchase I noticed a bubble in the paint. The bubble is now cracking and affecting the gunmetal blue paint. I’m concerned this paint problem will lead to chipping and peeling in the paint.

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…

Both the high and low tone horns on the car failed with 7500 miles on the vehicle. This has caused the inability to warn other drivers of lane encroachment or alerts. The part is being replaced under warranty currently waiting on the part to arrive. Estimated repair date 11/22/24 As a member of multiple Hyundai Ioniq groups this seems to be a common failure across more Hyundai models then just the Ioniq.

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…
