Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Ioniq 5 is known to have a loose and possibly dangling wire underneath the driver seat. This wire is often uncovered and unshielded, and is susceptible to becoming damaged due to the automatic seats and adjustments. This wire directly operates the airbag and if damaged loses all functionality. Hyundai is not covering any damage to this wire under warranty, and this poses an immediate threat to anyone driving their vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11692375, filed 2025-10“On April 20th while parking the vehicle suddenly had a power surge crossing over multiple curbs and across a parking lot and landscaped areas and hitting a tree. The vehicle refused to brake and the driver airbag never deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #11735454, filed 2026-05“Ioniq 5's yellow air bag wire/harness underneath driver seat has design flaw, many other owners are noticing. In my case the cables are touching the floor, it's a hazard.”
