The system lost its ability to audibly warn me of various conditions that were a risk to everybody in the car. Examples of alerts we could not here were: blind spot collision warning, cross traffic while backing up, driver attention alert when hands are not on the steering wheel, and audible blinker sounds. After the loss of the audible alerts, I nearly collided with vehicles that were in my blind spot because the alert was no longer present.

No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle was inspected by a Hyundai service center on 10/09/2025 (For a similar concern and related damage) and the event occurred on 10/12/2025 Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?

While attempting to park and depressing the brake the car made a sudden acceleration without input and hard braking did not slow the car. The car then impacted the curb. On another occasion while stopped at a red light the car began to move forward while the break was depressed.

This car, along with several other models of Kia and Hyundai, are unsafe due to the ease with which they can be stolen. Hyundai/Kia must recall all of their vehicles that lock proper anti-theft mechanisms in the ignition, steering column, and drive train. Until this is done, all American auto dealers and insurance companies must refuse to sell and insure any new Hyundais and Kias.

My 2019 hyndai ioniq electrical system stopped working and results in the front door claiming that is not open. An internet search showed that this is common many hyundais and in particular the ioniq. The issue with this is 1) there is no way to know how bad this electrical issue, 2) since the door may or may not be open, the risk of the door opening while driving is present, and 3) all other notifications on my dash are no longer usable; i have no way of knowing fuel left, mpg, or any other safety warnings on the dash. Finally, the issue creates a constant beep that does not stop. This is a safety issue seeing as it is so loud, it makes being aware of the sounds around us nearly impossible to hear.
