VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
When parking in a supermarket parking lot I slowly approached the space while braking. As I turned left into the space and released the brake pedal to allow the car to slowly roll into the space as I always do, the car surged as if someone floored the accelerator. I veered left to avoid a head on collision with the parked car facing me and went diagonally between the right front fender of that car and the left front fender of the car parked in the space to my left. I sideswiped both sides of my car and damaged the front fenders of both cars before I was able to apply the brake and bring the car to a stop. There was a mother with her two young children loading groceries into the car in front of me. Fortunately I avoided hitting anyone, but the witnessed the accident. I was in shock. My car suffered $25 in damages. There is absolutely no way I accidentally applied the accelerator, and if I had I would never have floored it! The car malfunctioned. I reported this incident to Hyundai also. They supposedly were sending someone to inspect the car at the auto body repair center.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The ICCU failed. The car won't charge on a level 1, 2, or 3 charger. The failure happened in the middle of a charging session. Since failing when trying to charge the car says "charging unsuccessful". The dealer has had the car for 28 days and won't tell me when it will be fixed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes. My family. Thankfully the failure happened in our garage. If it had of happened when we were away from home we would have been left stranded unable to charge. Also, if the ICCU fails while driving the car loses all power and comes to a stop. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. It has been at the dealer for 28 days Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? It has been inspected by the dealer Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, there were no warnings prior. All ICCU related recalls had been performed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When charging the car on level 2 charger at 40 amps, the connector where the charger plugs in overheats. Based on updated software the car reacts by turning off the charging, but I am concerned it may not always do that and the connector would overheat and fail. Also the car is not fully charged as it should be. This occurs perhaps 1 out of 2 or 3 charging sessions. Hyundai is aware of this but has chosen not to address the issue beyond shutting off charging, which is not an acceptable response. The local dealer appears to be unaware of the problem. They indicated I would have to pay for them to inspect it and only be reimbursed if the issue is under warranty

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Vehicle's charging port appears to be overheating to the point that thermal throttling is occurring when attempting to charge. This issue first occurred in mid-May of 2024. Vehicle charged as normal before then. Vehicle was serviced by dealership for this issue on 05/29/2024. A software update was applied that did not solve the problem. In an attempt to find updates on this problem, I contacted Hyundai Customer Care by phone on 05/30/2024. Hyundai Customer Care agent read a scripted response that was first released to the public in 20203 and advised to wait for an unknown amount of time for an unknown fix which may or may not come to pass. Hyundai Customer Care had no updates more recent than the 2023 release from which the Customer Care agent read. This appears to be a known issue with no actual fix available to the customer and no ETA on when such a fix might be released.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This has happened twice so far. I was driving down the street on the main road and the check evs error came on with a yellow triangle ⚠️ light came on. Suddenly the car slowed down, it was hard to steer but I was able to get it to a neighborhood near the school before it shut down. It scare me to know what would have happened if that was on a freeway. Now, because of the fear I hardly drive the car. The last time this happened was yesterday.

When you place the car in park a recall was done so that the emergency parking brake automatically engages. Well between 30 seconds to a minute after the car is in park, the brake disengage. When you go to set it manually after it disengage, it will still disengage.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
[XXX] - Took Hyundai IONIQ 5 to All Star Hyundai Pittsburg for servicing and recall issue. [XXX]: Saw an error reading CHECK ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM! on the IONIQ 5, after which a BlueLink rep was connected and stated I needed to take the car to a dealership ASAP. No appt available until July so advised to take car back to All Star. Called All Star and spoke to Josh who said there were no appts until [XXX]. Arrived All Star 9:15. I stayed until 3:15 with a lot of back and forth on diagnostics, warranty, how long for repair etc. Called Hyundai Customer Care and spoke Stephen who said the car was purchased less than a year and it would be under warranty for repair. I spoke to David, Manager All Star, who said he does not know when the diagnostics will be complete/ when car would be ready. Told me to go to Enterprise and get a rental at my own expense. Went to Enterprise Pittsburg in an Uber paid for by All Star. When I got there no cars available. Called All Star multiple times NO ANSWER. Took an Uber back to All Star to retrieve items in car and took Uber home at my own expense. Wednesday, went to Enterprise to obtain rental at my own expense and returned to All Star. They said they were waiting on Rep to further review the car. Today is May 28th and my right knee is now very painful and irritated from driving the rental as the 1st one had broken drivers seat and the 2nd one is still too low. I have spoken to All Star and Hyundai Customer Care to please provide a car rental similar to IONIQ 5 and I have received no assistance. I have spent almost $2000 on Ubers, rentals and gas. Hyundai still has not covered my rental expenses. I have spoken to approximately 16 reps of these companies and have received very few call backs or assistance. Today I called Hyundai Motor Finance to discuss monthly payments for a non-working car at All Star and was transferred and placed on a lengthy hold. No one returned to the phone call. I am seeking your immediate assistance. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORM

TIRES
My car has 16000 miles and originally came with this exact tire brand. Apparently, because I drive an electric vehicle the tires have sound dampening foam on the inside of them. They are supposed to break down slowly with time however the last four months I have had two incidents where the foam became unglued from the rest of the tire, balled up, and caused a huge amount of shake in the car as I drove at speed 60 mph or higher. It did not affect low speeds. This is a safety hazard. The first time it occurred, I considered an outlier and Michigan did replace the tire. The second time it happened , only a few thousand miles later I asked that the foam be removed from the tire as I am concerned that this is a safety hazard moving forward. Michelin needs to have this tire recalled. I asked the Hyundai dealership if other ionic five drivers with the same tires had come in with the same issues. They said absolutely we see it every day. Why is this tire still on the road. I reached out to Michelin and they Refused to refer me onto anybody to discuss this further. They also refused to pay for the foam removal process. That is why I’ve decided to involve you. Please feel free to contact me at [XXX] to discuss further. Thank you for your consideration, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHEELS
While turning a corner at low speed to enter a parking lot, the right rear tire lifted up onto the curb. The car stopped at a parking spot 100ft later. A low tire pressure alarm indicated an issue, upon inspection there was an audible hiss and the right rear of the car was lower than the other sides. As there was no spare, roadside assistance was contacted and towed the car to the nearest dealership for estimate. The dealer found the right rear wheel was bent on the inside and the wheel, tire, pressure sensor would need to be replaced. The cost was $1,612.68 and was covered by insurance. The point of failure on the wheel was not at the site of impact with the curb. The right rear wheel/tire would touch the curb on the outside first. There was no observable damage to the outside wheel. The inside wheel would have been exposed to much less force, most due to the mass of the car lifted on that corner. If not related to the specific wheel, but to the design, repeat incidents can happen when hitting potholes or other road obstacles/debris and result in a quick deflation while at speed. There was no visible damage, cracks, impressions on the tire. Only the rim was visibly damaged by this incident. The car had been purchased 4 days prior.
