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 indicating that the driver's side of my car was extremely close to some object, even though visual inspection confirmed that there was nothing there.

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. Please see the link below here is what Hyundai says about the " state of the art " headlights. Even driving in the city visibility is very bad. [XXX] . Thanks.

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’t recall seeing a message on the dashboard. I fiddled with some of the controls on the steering wheel and it sped up. So I thought I had fixed it.

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 Ioniq 5 only charged at 40 amps for the first week of ownership before starting to drop the charge rate to 23 amps. When this behavior started I plugged an OBD2 scanner in and was able to monitor the AC Charging Inlet temperature and noticed that the charge drop happened when the temperature reached 240F. This causes an issue when planning my charge times because they can essentially double, meaning that my vehicles are not ready for a trip by the estimated time. I am also concerned that having electronics that overheat on an EV may be a potential fire hazard in the future. One of the key reasons for purchasing these vehicles was the advertised charge times. I have appointments with the dealership to have both of these vehicles diagnosed.

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 happened on the Ioniq 6 to me: https://youtu.be/uXi33MtrJAU

PE24028 · Electrical Arcing And Thermal Events, Potentially Leading To Fires, While Utilizing Enel X Way Usa, Llc's Juicebox Residential Charger.

Opened Oct 3, 2024 · Closed Jun 5, 2025

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Equipment:electrical

On October 3, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened PE24028 to investigate alleged failures of Enel X Way's JuiceBox Level 2 residential EV chargers. The allegations were described as thermal incidents and electrical malfunctions, which could trip the circuit breakers in Juicebox owners’ homes and disrupt electric vehicle charge cycles. On October 2, 2024, Enel X Way posted on its website that Enel X Way North America would cease operations in the United States and Canada on October 11, 2024. The closure would potentially impact the charging app and supporting software. ODI sent Enel X Way an Information Request (IR) letter on October 21, 2024. Enel X Way provided an incomplete response to the IR on December 9, 2024. Enel X Way later provided a complete response to the IR on January 24, 2025. ODI reviewed Enel X Way’s IR submissions to determine whether further action is required. Based on ODI’s analysis, there was no clear trend in the cause of the failures described in customer complaints and warranty reports. Additionally, there have been no recent reports alleging safety issues. The available information does not warrant further action at this time. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will continue to monitor for any safety trends and reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in this Closing Resume, go to NHTSA.gov.
