“While driving on the highway, there was a complete loss of power and steering. I was able to navigate to the side of the road. The vehicle would not start on multiple occasions, and no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was stated that the issue could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.”

“I was pulling into a parking spot and my vehicle suddenly lurch forward, and I had to slam on the brakes quickly, scraping the front of the curb. I checked there was no warning lights. I checked the floor mat, and this was not impeding the accelerator pedal I am certainly I did not accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake.”

“I was driving, there was a loud pop, then warnings popped up on the dash and I lost power. I was able to limp the car back to my house, because I had just left. I assume it is the ICCU. I’m reporting this because it is a known issue that Hyundai has not seemingly been able to repair. With the pedal to the floor, I got up to 25 mph. Luckily, I was near home and not on a highway.”

“In November of 2025 the vehicle displayed a Check Eletrical System error message. Shortly thereafter the vehicle decelerated to under 10mph as we were turning into traffic. We were able to drive it home (less than 1mi away) and then called the Dealership. The car was then towed to the dealer (but needed a jump as the 12v battery had drained). The dealer diagnosed a failure of the ICCU and replaced it. The vehicle was in the shop for approximately 2 weeks. More recently, on May 3rd of 2026, the vehicle experienced a complete deceleration as it was traveling through an intersection. …”

“While driving in the highway I took my foot off the accelerator and despite one pedal driving being on the car did not brake. I then tapped the brake. When I then pushed the accelerator to keep up with traffic, nothing happened. I checked the screen for warning lights. The car had none. The accelerator pedal was non responsive causing a huge safety issue for me and others on the road as the car was now just cruising as I was approaching a hill..I had to turn on my hazards and get over into the shoulder of the highway along the bridge at night. I stopped the car. …”
