2023 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Complaints

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.

The recall stated in this report says that it was incomplete, however the recall was completed by the Hyundai Dealership, the software updates were installed and the ICCU failed anyway. When the unit failed the car went into "Turtle Mode", only able to go a max of 25 mph, and the 12 volt battery drained and died.

Suspension came through the top of casing hitting the hood after going over a minor pothole.

12 volt battery dies after 2 years. Car is not starting and could stop working if it dies while being driven. The dealer replaced it But does not know why it died. I called the manufacturer but they were no help either.

Hyundai Ioniq5 acquired new in September 2023 - mileage at the time of incident 10,800 miles - Michelin Primacy AS 235/55 R19 - OEM tires installed by the manufacturer. Front tire started to go 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. I contacted Hyundai and reported this as a safety issue as well.

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.

Received a code: DTC P1AA600 And did some research and was made aware that the EV battery needs to be exchanged out for a new one.

Charging port burned during DC fast charging session, resulting in melted charging pin. Unable to insert CCS connecter due to melted pin obstructing insertion. Further damage to electrical systems unknown. No warning signs shown aside from vehicle charging session ending. Lack of safety systems to prevent melting/burning of charging pins leaves potential for general vehicle fire, battery fire, etc. Dealer has had car in possession for over 10 days with no update. Corporate contact has been unresponsive.

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)
