ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I was waiting to charge up my EV when the dashboard started lighting up red. Stating to turn off vehicle due to battery failure and safety. And then all of the sudden the car just turned off. And would not come back on. So my husband had to go rent a vehicle at Avis so we wouldn’t be stranded so far from home. And to continue to go to work. So after 30 minutes my husband suggested that I try and restart the car and it did come on. We were stuck in the freezing elements due to the battery failure. Which seems to be an issue that they had back in 2022. That wasn’t correct or thought to have been. After I did some research yesterday 1/24/24. I called and made the local dealership aware of what I discovered that I took my car to. Because they couldn’t see if they would get same issue but they stated they didn’t.Also called into road side assistance on the day of the incident to have the car towed. But canceled after the vehicle started back up after 30 minutes with no response.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Driving on the freeway at approximately 70 mph, the car lost the ability to accelerate and started to lose speed. I had my foot on the gas but the speed was dropping. There were no warning lights, messages, or other alerts prior to the loss of acceleration. The screen remained on during the loss of acceleration but a phone call was lost. Safety at risk for obvious reasons. I was able to put hazards on and move to the left-hand shoulder. I turned the car off and on again and was able to speed up again to merge onto the freeway. For the remainder of the drive (approx 25 min), everything was fine. We have not taken the car in yet for inspection. The car charge was over 50%. I had driven the car on the freeway with no issues for an hour earlier in the morning, for 15 min in the city, and then for another 25 minutes on the freeway prior to the incident.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The Ioniq 5 has a serious problem with 12 volt battery drain. Three times, I have returned from vacation and found that the 12 v battery was completely dead. This is a huge issue if a consumer cannot rely on their vehicle to start in an emergency. I called a dealer in Renton, Washington about the issue and the technician responded, "This is a common issue in these types of vehicles." I am sorry, but that is not acceptable and is a vehicle defect. With electronic doors, you cannot get into the vehicle to jump start it, if the vehicle is locked, unless you can pull the manual key from the key fob and open it with the key. 12 v battery drain is killing the lifespan of the battery. Looking on the internet, other owners are complaining of the same issue. My vehicle sat for one week two times in December and I just returned form a two week vacation to find the battery completely dead. I only have 4484 miles on the vehicle and it is a 2023 car, so it is not an old battery. The car has a serious electrical defect.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
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.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
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.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
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.

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.

Potential Consequences:
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.
