“My wife was driving our Ioniq 5 on the freeway. She received a message on the dash about the electrical system (probably ICCU failure), and then the car limited itself ( turtle mode ) so that the max speed was 20mph. A minute or two later it slowed down even further to 10mph. She was able to get off the freeway safely.”
NHTSA complaint #11721603, filed 2026-03“Driving on the highway, my car will suddenly lose power momentarily and the speed drop 3-5 mph. My accelerator is unresponsive. Then the car will accelerate quickly with a jerk to accelerate to the set speed. May occur on level ground but often occurs at the bottom of a hill. I have no control during this loss of power.”
NHTSA complaint #11539136, filed 2023-08“Several days ago, the twelve volt battery on my car was replaced because the car just suddenly died overnight while sitting in my garage.

NHTSA complaint #11633547, filed 2025-01“When parking in a supermarket parking lot I slowly approached the space while braking. As I turned left into the space and released the brake pedal to allow the car to slowly roll into the space as I always do, the car surged as if someone floored the accelerator. I veered left to avoid a head on collision with the parked car facing me and went diagonally between the right front fender of that car and the left front fender of the car parked in the space to my left. …”
NHTSA complaint #11594992, filed 2024-06“The car loses power, slows down dramatically, and will not respond to the accelerator pedal. This failure has happened twice. The first time I was driving at about 40MPH on a side street when the car started slowing down with no warning and limped along at about 20MPH. I could not get it to move faster so I put my flashers on and made my way to the side of the street, pulled off of the road and shut the car off. When I restarted the car it drove normally. I reported the failure to Hyundai and they had never heard of this happening. …”
