Driving the car at 30 mph, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate while pressing on the gas pedal. I was forced to pull over as soon as possible to try to resolve the issue at hand. Thankfully, the breaks still worked and I was able to come to a full stop, turn off the car, and restart the car. There were no warning lamps/ messages that appeared before or after the time of the incident. (Incident occurred Aug 11) This is the second incident that my car's acceleration failed while in the middle of driving. Previously, this had happened while on the freeway during stop and go congestion (Oct…

1. The HORN suddenly stops working. This happened 3x in a 6 month span. The first time the horn wouldn't work all day. However, next day it did. Second time it didn't work for 3 days. Last time it stopped working completely just before Memorial Day weekend. I have read it is a known issue in Hyundai Ioniq 6 forums. 2. Forward Collision Warning is to Invasive. Once it even stopped on the freeway while trying to merge in a difficult interchange. 2 cars almost hit me from behind when my car suddenly stopped. I was however in complete control of the situation. 3. Rear Backup camera stop…

I experienced a safety critical failure in my 2024 Hyundai Ionic 6. While attempting to start the vehicle, the car displayed a red 12 Volt battery warning light, a battery discharge warning, and then refused to enter ready mode. The vehicle would only shift into neutral and was completely undrivable. After sitting for many hours, the vehicle started again, which is consistent with an intermittent ICCU/DC-DC converter dropout. This type of failure is known to cause loss of power and has been documented in NHTSA investigation PE23-011 for other Hyundai EV's. The dealership states they cannot rep…

Recall 272 - ICCU Ioniq 6 : ICCU fuse and update were required. Dealership ONLY did update. Did not replace fuse. Vehicle was "updated" for Recall 272 on 2/19/2025. Jenkins Hyundai Service Mgr, Savannah, confirmed on 5/18/2026 that this information is correct. In March 2026, the power seating failed to operate. This is directly related to Recall 272. However, when the vehicle was taken in for service, the dealership failed to diagnose and ONLY repaired pieces related to the seat. The vehicle was taken in on 3/18/2026 and stayed at the dealership for "repair" until 4/4/2026. This should have t…

Vehicle steering wheel was off-center and the vehicle wandered whenever the road changed camber or had rough sections. The vehicle was purchased used from Carvana,. I took it in for 4-wheel alignment and the tech reported that "All adjustment hardware at rear were pretty loose", and stated that it probably left the factory this way as he saw no evidence of prior adjustments. The left rear tire is badly worn on the outside and he recommended immediate replacement, which is awaiting warranty claim processing. Possible safety issues: Rear tire blowout, rear suspension alignment failure with loss…
