EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:120/240 VAC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:CHARGER LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY
At around 9pm, while charging my vehicle, I heard a loud boom and the power went out. It appears there was some sort of malfunction with the charger that has tripped/blown the circuit. I have not had an electrician come out yet, but after a quick google search it became apparent that others have experienced the same issue and I thought it was important to report. My charger is outside, not in a garage or enclosed space, so there was no fire that I am aware of.

TIRES
There seems to be a wide spread issue with the foam on the interior of Ionic 5 tires, Michelin 235/55/R 19. The foam dislodges from the interior of the tire and causes severe vibrations when driving at over 60 mph. The issue causes the tires to be unbalanced and can cause damage to the car. Wondering why Michelin doesn't address this issue and issue a fix other than stripping the tires of foam. My Hyundai dealer told me this is an on going issue and they have received no guidance from Michelin or Hyundai.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Car will randomly start giving warning messages (while driving or parked). Messages include pull over and check brake system, lane departure system failure, check battery, the speedometer will read 0 while driving, among multiple others. Dealership has ' fixed' multiple times, replacing fuses, bumper, sensors, but the problem keeps happening

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While we were driving the Ioniq recently when it suddenly lost all power. We had a very brief warning on the dash that it was losing its power; we barely had enough time to pull onto a side street. It lost power so quickly we couldn't position the car properly and it stayed in the middle of the side street until the tow truck came and jumped the 12 volt battery enough to get the car into gear so it could drive up the tow truck ramp. The scary part was that we were only a block away from turning onto busy Highway 522 when it died. Had the car died on the highway we could have been stranded in a very unsafe position. The dealer later diagnosed the problem as a failed ICCU and 12-volt battery and replaced both. We had to rent a car for 3 days.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Car on 2 separate occasions once parked the other while in motion discharged unexpectedly and would not start. I was later notified by a contracted service station that the 12V battery is discharging and needs to be replaced or serviced by dealer. These events only started happening after a recent recall update was done to the vehicle for battery management. Warning signs on the vehicle said 12v voltage low stop safely.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
During normal driving with car charged to 95%, I heard a pop coming from the rear of the vehicle and saw an immediate warning about electrical system malfunction. I drove the car for less than a quarter mile and pulled over. I then received instruction on the dash to power off the car which I did. The car was towed to the dealership who diagnosed an ICCU failure. It had been to the dealer twice for safety recall notices related to the same issue. This is a known problem with this type of vehicle. Awaiting replacement parts. This problem will cause complete loss of power to the vehicle. Fortunately I was able to pull over and park in a safe space before this happened. Obviously complete loss of power is a potential safety issue, thankfully systems alerted me to the problem. I have no idea if the replacement part will be of the same lot that failed in the first place.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
When on a highway with lane-keeping assist engaged, the car sometimes steers into the left-hand lane. It seems to happen most often when the road bends to the right. The car straddles the lane divider into the fast lane to the left. This occurs in otherwise perfect conditions: sunny, dry days on roads with clear white stripes demarking the lanes. I must fight with it to get it back in the proper lane. This is very dangerous. I'm convinced it will cause a high-speed crash. Another driver I spoke with said she had seen the same problem and wouldn't use the lane guidance because of it. I'm extremely cautious when I use it now. The problem has happened multiple times.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
After all the recalls and TBS that Hyundai has performed on this car to prevent any ICCU failures I still had the failure after all the updates. Last week after AC charging to 80% (7.6kw) the car thru an error code to check EV when starting up. It was only yellow so I attempted to drive it. Within 1/4 block the error code was flashing red and a warning was given to pull over and stop. Since I was only a block away I made it back home. The car had to be towed to the local dealer. Upon inspection they retrieved error code P1A9096 that said the ICCU failed. The ICCU fuse was also blown (open). This did not cause a safety issue this time but if I would have been on the road who knows. Also the replacement ICCU appears to be the same part number as removed? I do not believe Hyundai fully understands the issue and software updates have only corrected or is masking some larger issue.

STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When approaching 60 mph the vehicle starts to vibrate / shake. Upon a dealer's recommendation they have rotated, aligned, balanced and changed the tires and repaired the rear rims, but they did not help. (Just cost us money). I contacted Hyundai and they suggested that I go to another dealer, which I did. They said it was a known issue and the there is nothing they can do about it. I can't say much about the safety aspect, but I'm sure it's not good when a car vibrates and no on seems to know why ...

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
On Saturday, [XXX], at approximately [XXX], I drove my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 north on [XXX] . The car was operating normally. I stopped at the red light at the corner of [XXX] and noticed a large red circle with a "Check electrical system" warning on the driver's display screen. When the traffic light turned green, I pressed the accelerator pedal, and the car did not move. I looked at the "Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive" shifter. The "P" was lit up, indicating the car was in "Park." I attempted to switch to "Drive," and the status indicator remained in "P." I then pushed the "EV START STOP" switch to see if I could cycle the vehicle off and then back on to clear the problem. The switch had no effect. [XXX] is a busy four-lane, undivided street near the University of Colorado at Boulder campus. I selected the hazard flashers and called 911 to alert the Boulder Police Department that I was in a car that was immobilized in the middle of the right-hand northbound lane. Cars had to swerve to avoid me. The Police Department dispatched a vehicle that arrived 10 minutes later, pulled up behind me, and put its flashing lights on to alert traffic. While waiting for the tow truck, I received another alert on the driver's display that informed me that the 12-volt battery was nearly completely discharged, and I had 10 minutes of power left. The warning counted the remaining minutes to 0, and the displays shut down. From the first warning message to the shutdown, I could not turn the car system off or shift the car out of the park. The tow company had to put dollies under the rear wheels of the Ioniq 5 and lift the front end off the ground to tow the vehicle, as all four wheels were locked. The car was towed to Crossroads Hyundai in Loveland, Colorado. It had just been serviced to address all the recall issues, including the ICCU software update. The car has approximately 16,000 miles on it. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

It is regularly very difficult to see the digital speedometer on this car because it is blocked by the steering wheel. There is almost no comfortable position to place the seat and steering wheel for someone of my height 6ft where the speedometer is visible. Please make Hyundai move the speedometer to the middle of the screen (not outside edges where it is blocked by the steering wheel)!! I have contacted them and they have essentially gaslit/ignored me about this.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Our all-electric AWD Hyundai Ioniq 5 has an issue where the rear motor electric oil pump (EOP) overheats and ceases to function when the problem occurs, which disables the rear motor and effectively causes the car to become a front-wheel drive vehicle with a "hesitation" in the acceleration. This problem only occurs after a long time of high-speed driving and typically on a warm day (upwards of 70-80 degrees F). When the problem occurs, the rear motor ceases to function at all and only the front motor operates to power the vehicle forward. The acceleration is also impacted, such that when the accelerator is pushed, the car "hesitates" for 1-3 seconds before the front motor takes over the demand for power and "lurches" the car forward in a jerky motion. The symptom will last as long as the car is in an overheated state. However, if you pull the car over and let it rest for a period of time (undetermined), the rear motor will again operate normally until it overheats again. For us, this occurred once on a very hot day traveling approximately 50-60 miles on interstate travelling at speeds over 70 MPH. On another occurrence, it happened after driving the car about 200 miles (stopping for a lunch break in the middle), for about 4 hours. When this problem occurs in other cars equipped with RWD only, they lose all forward power in the car and coast to a stop even when the battery still has a charge. We've taken it to our local dealership for repair on Sept 12, 2024 (McGee Hyundai of Barre, VT) and they claim that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. After researching the topic, I've determined it is the failing rear EOP must be replaced [XXX] and [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Respective headlight turns off when using turn signal stalk. This, imo represents additional risk factors: Loss of visibility in the area of where the turn will be traveling In order to keep the lighting on, the turn signal needs to be off. Thereby not being able to give following traffic warning of my intention to turn. Also, loss of ability to have manufacturers install headlight with ability to move in the the direction of the turn. Thank you.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
ABS or All wheel Drive did not seem to work while driving on a Highway, and I tried to stop as there was another vehicle on the road which was spinning out of control. If ABS was activated, the car would have stopped, and similarly if All wheel Drive was working, car would not have spun out of control.

WHEELS, SUSPENSION
Due to an extreme failure in the integrity of the OEM tires, the vehicle experienced violent shaking a speeds in excess of 45mph. The shaking resulted from the extreme unbalanced nature of the wheels due to displaced noise-isolating foam inside the tire. As these tires were installed when the new vehicle was purchased, there is a significant issue with the fact that none of the dealership service stations visited to address this issue could identify a problem. Additionally, all three dealerships refused to work on the tires or help address an obvious problem for a vehicle with only 6,400 miles. While the warranty for the tires lies with Michelin, the complete lack of response or care by Hyundai representatives on a component with such a high failure rate is extremely unnerving and problematic.

TIRES
On [XXX], while driving north on [XXX] to Michigan, I stopped in Carmel, IN to charge my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE RWD vehicle. After charging, I reached 45mph and immediately experienced violent shaking of the steering wheel and seats. The vehicle was immediately driven to Hyundai of Carmel for inspection and possible maintenance. A service technician drove the vehicle and experienced the issue, but could not recommend a solution. The vehicle was driven back to Louisville, KY (home location) and taken to a Tire Discounters the following morning. At Tire Discounters, a technician drove the vehicle and experienced the same behavior, but could not provide a solution. Numerous trips to multiple Hyundai dealership service departments and tire service centers (Big-O-Tires and Tire Discounters) resulted in no solutions. After extensive research, a potential solution was identified by the vehicle owner relating to the noise-isolating foam located on the inside wall of the tires. There are numerous reviews on Michelin's website documenting this specific issue with the tires. A call to Michelin costumer service successfully concluded with a warranty claims number. However, none of the previously mentioned tire service locations would investigate because the vehicle only had 6,400 miles and the Hyundai dealership service departments refused to address the problem. Ultimately, Pep Boys accepted the Michelin warranty claim and found that three of four tires (Michelin Primacy 235/55R19 101H) that came as part of the original vehicle purchase had the internal isolation foam disconnect from the tire belt and gather in a central location inside the tire. There has been no evidence of notices or information from Michelin to dealerships or service departments regarding this issue and the potential for dangerous driving conditions or damage.
