2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5

This model has known issue. As I found after it occurred to my brand new IONIQ 5 . It has only 320mi. It had 87% battery and all of sudden it stop on road. No power on dashboard. After taking to service station they found “ "Inspected and found code P1A9096- DC/ DC converter input voltage sensor fail. Referenced campaign 997 for concern. With code present, per TSB, replace ICCU and fuse." This same issue I noticed in 2022 after reading forum. After putting my car in service station still I don’t have my car. It’s almost 17 days. If this car had recall I could have saved my time and unnecessary effort. Plus thank god it was local city read( school zone) if I was in highway and same thing happen to me it might be life threatening situations.

Intermittent Electrical / Brake failure . Put vehicle in reverse . Brakes failed to stop vehicle . Vehicle has had electrical issues before . Waring lights came on for steering and tire pressure in the past . Recall then came from Hyundai for the ICCU .45 minutes before the collision, the front collision warning came on when I was stopped at an intersection with no one in front of me . I stopped the vehicle and turned the vehicle off . Turned on the vehicle and it reset the warning lights and sounds , and I continued to drive . Later while pulling out of a parking space in reverse ,I stepped on the brakes but the vehicle did not stop . I pumped the brakes to no avail . After the collision , the brakes worked again when the tow truck driver placed the vehicle on the flatbed .The Hyundai dealer , after the vehicle had been in their possession for several weeks with the battery disconnected, said there was no problem They also had a factory rep look at the vehicle and he made a report . We have not been able to get a copy of the report . Vehicle is still at the dealership . When notified by the factory rep of their claim that the vehicle had no problems , the vehicle had been out of service more then 30 days .

The following is an incident that happened yesterday to my wife, who is an experienced driver: Whilst driving south on I5 from Seatac toward Tacoma in heavy rain with surface spray the screen above the steering wheel mentioned collision avoidance was not working and radar was not working. When I applied the brakes to slow down no response from the brakes. I then let off the brake and tried several times to apply the brakes each time with no success. I still had full control of the steering and could still steer the car. This lasted for about 30s then the brakes started working again. The error messages regarding collision avoidance and radar not working would continue to pop up even after the brakes were working. After stopping the car and turning it off and restarting several hours later the car no longer displayed any error messages. No vehicle or passenger were hurt in this incident, however if the traffic had slowed or stopped this outcome could have been very different.

The car does not switch from Reverse to Drive under certain conditions, resulting in uncommanded reverse motion. Gear selection on the Ioniq 5 is controlled by a twisting knob at the end of a stalk on the steering column. Drive is selected by turning upwards, Reverse by turning downwards. The moving part springs back into the neutral position once a gear is selected. Occasionally the car does not switch from Reverse to Drive. This is extremely dangerous as the vehicle shoots backwards when the driver is expecting it to move forward. A driver will likely press the accelerator more firmly after having physically moved the gear selector to Drive and expecting the vehicle to move forward. Since this happens after backing up, it is likely that obstacles or persons are behind the car when this happens, and absent a very fast reaction by the driver this will result in accidents and injuries. The issue is triggered when the car is not at a complete standstill when Drive is selected. Even barely noticeable residual backward motion triggers it. There is no haptic feedback to alert the driver that the car ignored the driver input. As drivers are expected to pay attention to their surroundings when maneuvering, visual feedback (via the gear indicator on the stalk and possibly a dashboard notification) is not useful. There is a small auditory cue, but it is easily missed when in a conversation or listening to music, especially because the car frequently dings, pings, and beeps for other reasons. Not to mention, hearing-impaired drivers will also miss this. The driver should not be able to physically move the gear selector into the Drive position when the car is not accepting that input - the twisty bit should be locked out to prevent this. Or at the very least, if a crucial driver input is discarded, the car should instead default to a safe behavior, i.e. put the car in Neutral instead of Reverse.

I'm surprised there are no safety recalls on this vehicle given how Cruise Control operates & how close to the Cruise Control toggle switch the steering wheel is indented for hand placement at 10 a.m./2 p.m.We purchased a 2023 IONIQ 5 on 02/25/2023.When the vehicle was delivered to us we were not told that the cruise control does not disengage when the brake pedal is applied.It merely pauses.There is nothing in the owner's manual that addresses cruise control operation.In any other vehicle we have owned, including other Hyundai vehicles, cruise control cancels when the brake pedal is depressed.Without proper training/information & without cruise control being addressed in the owner's manual we had no way of knowing this.2 months after purchasing the vehicle, while pulling into a parking space driving 3 MPH I stepped on the gas & the vehicle returned to the previously set cruise control of 45 MPH.Whereupon it went over a parking bumper, landscaping, curb, $ into a busy street, scraping the passenger rear portion of the vehicle & damaging the wheel.We took the vehicle to the dealership, Larry H. Miller on 05/03/2023. They were unable to duplicate the mishap.The GM of the dealership indicated that in all probability what occurred was inadvertent touch of the toggle switch.He indicated that this unique cruise control operation was experienced by others, including himself.On 05/24/203, he recommended we contact Hyundai Motors USA to report the incident.Doing so resulted in numerous phone conversations, emails, and 2 inspections of the vehicle. Finally, on 10/19/2023 we were advised in a HMAUSA letter of resolution that said, "no manufacturing defect was identified." They are refusing to pay the $2,247.92 repair bill (on 04/26/23.May be higher now due to rising costs.)We maintain the incident occurred due to a design flaw & unique cruise control operation.We not only want Hyundai to pay for the repairs, we want the NHTSA to investigate so this won't happen to anyone else.

When driving my new Hyundai ionic 5, the dashboard display is set up such that when I am in my preferred seating position, and my hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel, I cannot see the spedometer reading. I basically don't know how fast I'm going and less I change my hand position or move my head. This requires a fair more amount of time for me to take my attention off the road. This is not an isolated incident. I have asked my friends, who range in height from 5'2 to 6 ft 3 to do the same thing. They all report the same problem when they are in their preferred seating position. I am also noted many complaints about the same issue on the ionic 5 internet boards. This problem is caused solely by Hyundai's choice of a main display layout. This is the way it is laid out from the factory, and there is no way to change the speedometer position on the main display as a user.

The car driving selector order is Drive, Neutral, Reverse which is the wrong order. It should be Reverse, Neutral, Drive, which is the same for all the cars I have driven since the late 1960's. In fact, the Hyundai Santa Fe has the correct order. Also, my Volvo XC60 has the correct order. I thought that your standard 571.102 addressed this problem. I am having the same problem selecting the wrong drive when I go from my Volvo to the Ioniq 5.

I started getting the error Electric Vehicle System error in my month old Ioniq 5. After driving a few miles, the air conditioning stopped working completely. And after a few more miles, the vehicle started to throttle down the speed to 20-25mph that too on the I95 with a 65mph speed limit. Had to turn on the emergency lights and drive slowly till I reached my destination. After googling for a while, I found that this issue is related to the ICCU failure that is pretty common in the Ioniq 5 and Hyundai is yet to issue a permanent fix for this problem. I don’t know why we are allowing the sale of these vehicles with known issues. You can even Reddit the ICCU issue.
