“The Auto Hold and EPB yellow indicator light constantly turns on, which, according to the owner's manual, suggests a sensor issue. When I press Auto Hold after starting the car, the light comes on immediately. Even if I don’t press the Auto Hold button, the light still turns on. Yesterday, after driving approximately 9 miles, the light came on again and began beeping every 7 to 8 minutes while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11649909, filed 2025-03“The Auto Hold and EPB orange warning lights have been a recurring problem with our 2022 Hyundai Ioniq. We first noticed the car exhibit a jerky/jolting hesitation after accelerating from a complete stop which was reported to the dealership with confirmed paperwork at ~52K miles. The Auto Hold and EPB orange warning lights have been documented via photographs and video on been active at mileage ~58K and 72K, but the dealership could not reproduce (or scan the codes?) the warning light signature or jerking motion. …”
NHTSA complaint #11761449, filed 2026-09“Shortly after purchasing my Ioniq (roughly 2 months into ownership) my dashboard started beeping with warning signs for my EPB and auto-hold brake. I panicked and parked my car and tried to turn off the functions because I thought I had accidentally turned them on but they wouldn’t turn off. This would continue at random for roughly 7 more months until it would stay on for weeks at a time. I was told there was nothing the dealership could do about it and was asked about my oil changes. …”
NHTSA complaint #11546636, filed 2023-09“The regenerative brakes had an error go off, which caused the brakes to stop working properly. This error went off twice, once in my driveway upon starting my car, then it reset itself. And again while driving, in which I nearly rear ended the car in front of me due to the brakes not working. Hyundai confirmed the error codes but could not reproduce. Hyundai eventually replaced components of the brakes, but I do not trust that it won't happen again. I wanted out of my lease but they refused and made me drive it again, even though I'm terrified of it happening again.”
NHTSA complaint #11463942, filed 2022-05“On 12/25/21 less than 2 months after purchase, amber color warning lights came on dashboard saying AUTO HOLD and EPB light up on dash and a chime noise would sound when flashing message lit up. Since warning lights weren't red I understood the feature wasn't working, that it was safe to drive, but the chime was annoying when it came on about once a week. On 8/8/22 I took the car to Selma Hyundai and paid $168 to diagnose the intermittent flashing AUTO HOLD/EPB amber light alerts. They checked functions and said if persisted they would have to replace the left hand parking brake motor. …”
