LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
3 issues: 1. 2 x, driving over a hundred miles the sensors get faults. None of the sensors work. Does not detect other cars. They updated my firmware, wiping the faults. 2. Once stopped at stop light, the sensors can start detecting items not there. 3. When parking the car does not detect items that are there. (I have video, dealerships so far refuses to fix) I am still trying to get them to fix it. Additional concern, talking to other drivers, they have similar issues and responses from the Hyundai dealerships. This is for both the Ioniq 5 and 6. Pictures: shows no other car image, or sensor detection. I took the picture a behind to give context. I can provide the videos if needed. Answers to question, separated with a comma: Yes, answered above, trying to get confirmed, the car has been inspected by Hyundai service center, and the errors were wiped by a update + reset.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
The navigation system in this car has an additional feature which is always enabled even if a destination is not programmed into the nav system which is supposed to warn drivers if they are going the wrong way on a highway. Intermittently the system erroneously indicates that the driver is going the wrong way. A voice warning is repeated issued and a warning symbol is displayed on the instrument panel. It is shocking, very distracting and frightening at first. Then it becomes a driver irritation, and eventually the driver tries to ignore the constant warnings, completely defeating the purpose of the safety feature. I’ve seen on the Ioniq forums where other drivers have reported this intermittent problem. Our local dealer would not check our car because the nav system was not failing at the time we brought it in. The problem can last for 5 minutes and then stop or can last for a duration of a car trip. For drivers unaware of this problem, they could easily be frightened enough to cause unsafe driving.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle was taken to dealer for recall repair. Upon completion i made sure everything was good to go. And realized the navigation system was not updating. Service agent took it back and was advise it needed a 4 hour update. Car stayed overnight. Following day they informed me they couldn’t find the problem and were in contact with tech support. They were advice to just replace the navigation antenna. Dealer has place the order for the antenna. My only problem is while we wait for the antenna my car’s location is at a random place so if it where to be taken there wouldn’t be a way for me to know the location of it.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
12/30/2023 at approximately 5:30pm I drove home with the iPedal engaged. The iPedal was installed as a download to the car in August 2023. My daughter was in the passenger seat. I began to back into my driveway but shifted to Drive to straighten out the car. The car began to roll forward I took my foot off the accelerator but the car did not stop in spite of the iPedal being engaged. I put my foot on the BRAKE PEDAL which went all the way to the floor to no avail. The car rolled slowly into an electrical pole which brought the car to a stop. I previously filed a complaint here but I have since learned that iPedal may disengage if the car is put into reverse. There is not warning light to alert the driver that iPedal is disengaged so the driver is not aware that the brakes may not work as expected. I believe this may have been the case with my accident. However, this does not address why using the foot pedal for the brakes did not stop the car. Have found many complaints about this on various forums and believe this aspect of iPedal needs to be addressed. It should not disengage unless the driver instructs the car to do so. I have not been able to find documentation of this functionality in the manual, but I have searched and will continue to do so.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I heard a pop from the rear of the car and warnings came up on the dash. The vehicle was power limited and needed to be towed to the dealer. It was diagnosed as an ICCU failure and blown fuse. This was the problem supposedly addressed in Hyundai TSB 997 (NHTSA ID Number: 10240086). That service was performed on the vehicle in September 2023. We were lucky the incident occurred on a city street and not on a freeway or rural highway where the sudden loss of power could have been very dangerous. The software fix applied under Hyundai’s TSB clearly did not fix the issue.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
Driver was moving forward into a space in a parking garage between two other vehicles. Driver had pulled most of the way in and was slowly inching forward. As the car came to a stop, it suddenly lurched forward, hitting a concrete wall. The collision warning system did not alert, and auto-braking did not occur. The car was in Regen Level 3, and Auto Hold was not activated. In the months prior to this, the car twice had a similar situation when coming to a stop at an intersection with foot on the brake, then suddenly lurched forward, nearly rear-ending a car in front. There was no visible damage to the concrete wall, and a police report was not made. Hyundai says they want to inspect vehicle, but have not done so after a month. It is easy to believe that this was driver error, but it absolutely was not. Car lunged forward and accelerated into a wall with only the brake being applied. All of these events have occurred after the Hyundai Ioniq 5 software update was applied on 26 Sep 2023.

In the months prior to this, the car twice had a similar situation when coming to a stop at an intersection with foot on the brake, then suddenly lurched forward, nearly rear-ending a car in front. There was no visible damage to the concrete wall, and a police report was not made. Hyundai says they want to inspect vehicle, but have not done so after a month. It is easy to believe that this was driver error, but it absolutely was not. Car lunged forward and accelerated into a wall with only the brake being applied. All of these events have occurred after the Hyundai Ioniq 5 software update was applied on 26 Sep 2023.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
12/30/2023 at approximately 5:30pm I drove home with the iPedal engaged. The iPedal was installed as a download to the car in August 2023. My daughter was in the passenger seat. I began to back into my driveway but shifted to Drive to straighten out the car. The car began to roll forward I took my foot off the accelerator but the car did not stop in spite of the iPedal being engaged. I put my foot on the BRAKE PEDAL which went all the way to the floor to no avail. The car rolled slowly into an electrical pole which brought the car to a stop. Neither iPedal nor the foot brake pedal had any effect on the car. I then put the car in reverse and backed the car into my driveway and the brakes worked as expected. When I then attempted to charge the vehicle, the charging port would not open. I could hear the motor working to open but it would not open. On 1/11/2024, I again attempted to open the charging port and this time it did open. So, TWO different electrical (including the brakes and the charging port) were not working properly. Inasmuch as the charging port again worked and the brakes again worked, there clearly was a malfunction that was random and unpredictable and also nearly impossible to reproduce but if this happened once, it could happen again. The brakes failed. Had we been traveling on a busy road, or at the top of a hill, we would have faced significant bodily harm, death to ourselves or others. This car had been driven locally, predominantly on local roads. The car is available for inspection and has only been driven on the dealer lot since the the incident. There were no warning lights or messages to indicate that any issues existed. The manufacturer has executed an inspected but has not reproduced the problem. The manufacturer and dealership claims the car is safe to drive without addressing the brake failure. I do not believe the car is safe to drive without a determination of how the bake failure happened or without a repair to that issue.

Potential Consequences:
Driving the vehicle on the highway for longer than 60 miles at highway speeds the vehicle goes into “power limited” mode and a turtle pops up on the screen. You are unable to accelerate the car and once this happens you have to leave the car off for at least 5 minutes and then not drive above 65mph again or it will keep happening over and over. After taking it to the shop Hyundai Corporate said we need to drive the car again to see if they had fixed it. Approximately 65 miles into the trip it happened again and this time I was almost rear ended and cars were swerving around me on the shoulder to avoid crashing into me. Hyundai is saying that they cannot reproduce the issue but they are not driving the car on the highway for more than 60 miles. The safety of not only myself and my family is at risk as well as other people on the highway behind and next to us. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and they said there are no error codes so they don’t know what’s wrong. The only warning that popped up said “power limited” with a turtle.

You are unable to accelerate the car and once this happens you have to leave the car off for at least 5 minutes and then not drive above 65mph again or it will keep happening over and over. After taking it to the shop Hyundai Corporate said we need to drive the car again to see if they had fixed it. Approximately 65 miles into the trip it happened again and this time I was almost rear ended and cars were swerving around me on the shoulder to avoid crashing into me. Hyundai is saying that they cannot reproduce the issue but they are not driving the car on the highway for more than 60 miles. The safety of not only myself and my family is at risk as well as other people on the highway behind and next to us. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and they said there are no error codes so they don’t know what’s wrong. The only warning that popped up said “power limited” with a turtle.
