Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1.We purchased the vehicle (Hyundai Ioniq 5, 2022 Model) on MAY 20, 2022. 2.The vehicle was acceptable until it started to fail on us while we were on the road, and soon after the vehicle crawled home at limited power and came to a stop, it would no longer even turn on. 3.Then started our nightmare with Hyundai USA. …”
NHTSA complaint #11532470, filed 2023-07“When using the car in i-Pedal (one-pedal driving) mode — the highest brake regen setting — the car can come to a complete stop whenever I lift my foot off the accelerator pedal, without touching the brake. While in this mode, when I fully lift my foot off the accelerator, the rear brake lights illuminate as expected, however, I often slowly reduce pressure on the accelerator pedal to come gently to a stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #11521193, filed 2023-05“Brake lights during I-Pedal or 1 Pedal driving modes. When under I-Pedal or 1 pedal driving mode brake lights do not engage unless foot is fully off the accelerator pedal. This is concerning as the vehicle can brake rather agressively with no indicition to the drivers behind you. The brake lights should illuminate when a sufficient amount of braking is occuring, not just when the accelerator is fully disengaged.”
NHTSA complaint #11523991, filed 2023-05“I was driving to the dealership due to an unusual message. I was on a main street less than 2 minutes from home when an alert came on the screen that said critical 12v system I believe. The screen went off shortly after so I was unable to fully capture it. Within 20' the car stopped itself on the road and shut off. All systems were offline with a total power loss. I could not turn my hazards on, the wheels were locked and I was unable to move the car. I had to stand outside my car to alert oncoming traffic to avoid me. …”
NHTSA complaint #11520155, filed 2023-05“Brake lights do not illuminate in 1 pedal driving unless accelerator pedal is fully released. I often bring the car to a complete stop with the brake lights never illuminating until I'm nearly stopped, around 5 mph or less. I often see people ride up behind me quickly and have to slam on their brakes as they don't realize I'm slowing down so rapidly. This can be repeated at any time. I have not spoken to a dealer or the manufacturer about this, nor has it been inspected by any party. There are no warning lights, this seems to be normal behavior, many others have reported on this issue as well. …”
