2025 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Complaints

I was driving the car on [XXX], and I got a battery management system warning light (DTC P0B6D00). When I got home, my car wouldn't charge. I took the car to the dealership for service for this light. Without the ability to charge and battery issues, it affects the drivability of the car and the car may stop if there isn't enough charge when driving. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer, and there was an attempt to replace a part, but it caused the light to go off 3 more times. The car has been at the dealership since June 23rd, 2025 without resolution. There were no other warnings or messages prior to this failure as the car ran without any issues. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Since I have purchased the car it has: 1) the car has failed and stopped moving 3 separate times. It only has 290 miles on it. 1) been unable to charge on AC power (L1 and L2 chargers) 2) barely able to charge on DC chargers. 325kwh Tesla supercharger gave 9kwh.

I purchased my 2025 Ioniq 5 Limited less than a week ago and have found that adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist systems are essentially non-functional because of repeated false warnings from the Driver Attention System. Purported to monitor the driver's attention by watching the eyes, this system clearly doesn't work well enough to serve it's purpose and, in fact, causes unnecessary distractions and unsafe conditions with repeated and frequent false positive warnings. The first warnings caution the driver to keep his/her eyes on the road (my eyes are on the road) and escalate to point where ACC and lane keeping assist are turned off. Since the drive attention warnings cannot be turned off when in ACC with lane keeping assist are active, the only recourse is to turn off lane keeping assist, making this system essentially non-functional and useless. Note: Hyundai is aware of this and has issued at least one TSB advising that some eyewear may prevent the system from functioning properly and that this is considered "normal" leaving the driver to find suitable eyewear. I do not usually drive with sun glasses and having the car manufacturer suggest that their system may be impacted by my prescription glasses (which I do wear while driving) and the fix to this potentially dangerous situation is to replace my glasses is ludicrous. I have also done limited testing without my glasses and find that it has no impact on the false warnings. Per Hyundai's TSB I have made sure that my driver's position is such that the monitor's camera has an unobstructed view of my eyes and is not blocked at any time by my hands or arms while I'm holding the wheel.

While driving home, I experienced a sudden and complete power system failure in my Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The failure occurred shortly after starting the drive, and was preceded by a faint "pop" sound. Within moments, the dashboard displayed the following critical warnings: Red 12V battery icon Red warning: "Stop vehicle and check power supply" Turtle icon (indicating limp mode / low power) Brake warning light ?? The vehicle immediately entered limp mode, then fully lost power within approximately 3 minutes. I was able to safely pull into a nearby parking space before total shutdown and loss of power. Restarting the vehicle had no effect.

I notice a strange pulsing/hesitation when accelerating at partial throttle (maybe 10-25%) between 60-65MPH. It's quite alarming, because it feels like the electric motor is cutting out momentarily. I notice the same pulsing/hesitation during regenerative braking at the same speeds (as with the acceleration, it is only noticeable at partial regen). The dealer confirmed that they've noticed the same behavior on other new Ioniq 5 vehicles, but they don't have a fix. I don't know the safety implications, but I worry about the electric motor cutting out and affecting my ability to control the car during acceleration or regenerative braking.

The Driver Attention warning activates almost every 5 minutes. No glasses are involved. I have tried many different steering wheel positions. There are plenty of other 2025 IONIQ 5 owners with the same issues as seen on forums. There is a setting to turn it off but it does not turn it off.

I leased a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 with the exact same issue. The VIN is [XXX] My new Hyundai Ioniq 5 is having the same problem again! Vehicle will hesitate/shudder and pulsate at highway speeds. Between 57mph and 78mph seems to be where I can feel it the most. This happens on all drive modes and with or without brake regeneration turned on or off. Nothing seems to make it worse or better. Here is an example. If you are driving 65mph on the highway and holding your speed steady, the car motor feels like it's cutting in and out. Juddering forward and back. If you accelerate a tiny bit, it gets ever worse. It feels almost like the input signal from the peddle is choppy, causing the car motor to judder. It is a forward to back motion. Not a vibrate or side to side motion. Dealership said basically they'll keep the car and possibly we can hope Hyundai will lemon law me out of the car.

I took the car to the dealership where they confirmed they could feel it too. They ended up rotating my tires... Said that's all they can really do because Hyundai doesn't have anymore information. They basically said sorry but they can't help.

Vehicle surges or accelerates at highway speeds of around 60-65 mph. Vehicle will not hold a consistent speed without a pulse or surge.

I have had my new car only two weeks and have driven only 500 miles. Yesterday, while driving on a freeway at constant 65 mph speed, I suddenly experienced COMPLETE POWER FAILURE. I coasted across three lanes of heavy traffic and came to a stop on the shoulder. There were no warning lights on the dashboard. I turned the car off, turned it on again, and the car drove normally. I checked on my Hyundai app and it said under Vehicle Health that all systems were normal. I called the Santa Monica Hyundai service center and was advised to drive home to Santa Barbara (on the freeway) and get in touch if the problem recurred. I drove my car some 50 miles to Santa Monica to be evaluated and the service rep said that all makes of EVs have this problem, not unusual. After some hours, I spoke to the shop foreman who said he had never seen this problem, that the diagnostics had shown no problem, that there was no indication that this had indeed happened, that he could do nothing further unless there was proof that I had experienced complete power failure, and that if it happened again I should obtain proof by videoing the dashboard and my foot pressing down on the accelerator without any response. I called the Oxnard Hyundai dealer where I had purchased the car and was advised to bring my car there for a second opinion. I drove the 60 miles to their service center. I was told by the service rep that he had never heard of this problem. I was given a loaner car to drive the 40 miles home and my Ioniq 5 was kept for evaluation. I discovered on Google that sudden power failures in Ioniq 5's are a known problem by both Hyundai and the NHTSA and that there have been recalls as a result. It seems reprehensible that Hyundai representatives in two different dealerships claimed that they had never heard of this phenomenon. I was at risk of a potentially deadly accident by losing power on a freeway. I am lucky to be alive.
