TIRES
Potential Consequences:
On [XXX], while driving north on [XXX] to Michigan, I stopped in Carmel, IN to charge my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE RWD vehicle. After charging, I reached 45mph and immediately experienced violent shaking of the steering wheel and seats. The vehicle was immediately driven to Hyundai of Carmel for inspection and possible maintenance. A service technician drove the vehicle and experienced the issue, but could not recommend a solution. The vehicle was driven back to Louisville, KY (home location) and taken to a Tire Discounters the following morning. At Tire Discounters, a technician drove the vehicle and experienced the same behavior, but could not provide a solution. Numerous trips to multiple Hyundai dealership service departments and tire service centers (Big-O-Tires and Tire Discounters) resulted in no solutions. After extensive research, a potential solution was identified by the vehicle owner relating to the noise-isolating foam located on the inside wall of the tires. There are numerous reviews on Michelin's website documenting this specific issue with the tires. A call to Michelin costumer service successfully concluded with a warranty claims number. However, none of the previously mentioned tire service locations would investigate because the vehicle only had 6,400 miles and the Hyundai dealership service departments refused to address the problem. Ultimately, Pep Boys accepted the Michelin warranty claim and found that three of four tires (Michelin Primacy 235/55R19 101H) that came as part of the original vehicle purchase had the internal isolation foam disconnect from the tire belt and gather in a central location inside the tire. There has been no evidence of notices or information from Michelin to dealerships or service departments regarding this issue and the potential for dangerous driving conditions or damage. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Hyundai Motor America
Defect Description:
WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
Due to an extreme failure in the integrity of the OEM tires, the vehicle experienced violent shaking a speeds in excess of 45mph. The shaking resulted from the extreme unbalanced nature of the wheels due to displaced noise-isolating foam inside the tire. As these tires were installed when the new vehicle was purchased, there is a significant issue with the fact that none of the dealership service stations visited to address this issue could identify a problem. Additionally, all three dealerships refused to work on the tires or help address an obvious problem for a vehicle with only 6,400 miles. While the warranty for the tires lies with Michelin, the complete lack of response or care by Hyundai representatives on a component with such a high failure rate is extremely unnerving and problematic.

TIRES
Potential Consequences:
Michelin Primacy AS 235/55 R19 - OEM tires on Hyundai Ioniq5 acquired new in September 2023 - mileage at the time of incident 10,800 miles Front tire started went off balance causing steering wheel vibrations and shaking that increased with speed - car was not drivable above 55MPH due to excessive shaking and vibrations of steering wheel - this presents safety concern as it may lead to loss of control and excessive wear and tear on other suspension / wheel components. I took the vehicle to a local tire shop (Town Fair Tire in Norwalk CT - authorized dealer of Michelin tires) - got wheels rotated, balances and alignment adjusted. The issue persisted - on the second visit tire shop dismounted one of the tires and discovered internal foam band unglued and clumped on one side of the tire causing off-balance. The shop recommended removal of the foam material and rebalancing of the tire to correct the manufacturing error.

Defect Description:
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Incident occurred when head-in parking in a space pointed into an stores exterior wall. There were no parking/wheel stops, just pavement then wall. No adjacent cars. I was decelerating with foot completely off accelerator and over the brake pedal. The car is an EV and was in 3rd level of regenerative braking, slowing down quickly. As I completed the turn into the space and began straitening the wheel, the car suddenly and rapidly accelerated and crashed into the wall. The only likely explanation I have is that I inadvertently pressed the Driving Assist button with my right thumb or hand while turning the steering wheel, which would have activated Smart Cruise Control, and, if the necessary conditions were met, set the minimum speed to 30 km/hr. The car manual states: "If your vehicle speed is between 0 - 20 mph (0 - 30 km/h) when you press the Driving Assist ( ) button, the Smart Cruise Control speed will be set to 20 mph (30km/h)." The Foward Collision-Avoidance Assist was set to Active Assist, which should have applied the brake to stop from colliding with the wall, but instead the car accelerated. (Note, the parking assist feature does not usually recognize head-in parking.) The car has two Driving Assist settings: Based on Drive Mode and Based on Driving Style. If the latter is selected, three additional features are set on sliding scales: Distance (close to far), Acceleration (slow to fast), Response Speed (slow to quick). These three settings are adjusted automatically based on the car's interpretation of the driver's driving style, or they can be manually overriden. I have never changed these settings. Post-incident I checked the setting and it was set to Based on Driving Style with Acceleration=Fast. Concerns: Is Driving Assist to easy to inadvertently activate? Should Driving Assist not activate at very slow speeds and not auto-set to 30k/h? Why did Forward Collision-Avoidance not activate? Drive Assist should not default to Based on Driving Style.

Incident occurred when head-in parking in a space pointed into an stores exterior wall. There were no parking/wheel stops, just pavement then wall. No adjacent cars. I was decelerating with foot completely off accelerator and over the brake pedal. The car is an EV and was in 3rd level of regenerative braking, slowing down quickly. As I completed the turn into the space and began straitening the wheel, the car suddenly and rapidly accelerated and crashed into the wall. The only likely explanation I have is that I inadvertently pressed the Driving Assist button with my right thumb or hand while turning the steering wheel, which would have activated Smart Cruise Control, and, if the necessary conditions were met, set the minimum speed to 30 km/hr. The car manual states: "If your vehicle speed is between 0 - 20 mph (0 - 30 km/h) when you press the Driving Assist ( ) button, the Smart Cruise Control speed will be set to 20 mph (30km/h)." The Foward Collision-Avoidance Assist was set to Active Assist, which should have applied the brake to stop from colliding with the wall, but instead the car accelerated. (Note, the parking assist feature does not usually recognize head-in parking.) The car has two Driving Assist settings: Based on Drive Mode and Based on Driving Style. If the latter is selected, three additional features are set on sliding scales: Distance (close to far), Acceleration (slow to fast), Response Speed (slow to quick). These three settings are adjusted automatically based on the car's interpretation of the driver's driving style, or they can be manually overriden. I have never changed these settings. Post-incident I checked the setting and it was set to Based on Driving Style with Acceleration=Fast. Concerns: Is Driving Assist to easy to inadvertently activate? Should Driving Assist not activate at very slow speeds and not auto-set to 30k/h? Why did Forward Collision-Avoidance not activate? Drive Assist should not default to Based on Driving Style.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I have had my 2023 Ioniq 5 for 13-months. I have had two safety recall services performed - I understand those were ICCU software related. On [XXX] my car sounded a sudden alarm and a warning appeared saying to "STOP and Check Power Supply." I was not able to immediately pull over but found the ability to pull over within about 1/4 mile, the vehicle seemed to be losing power. It was frightening as there were many pedestrians and cyclists and I had no idea what was happening. The car was towed through AAA - we had difficulty getting it onto the truck as there was very little power and almost no power steering. The vehicle is now at the Rowe Hyundai dealership in Westbrook, ME. I was told the ICCU would need to be replaced as well as some kind of fuse. I am not sure I will feel safe driving this vehicle even after it is repaired. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
